Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 343
A ramen shop near Kawagaokaban.

"There's nothing I can do..."

Akane Kirino raised a finger pretentiously, pointed upwards, and then spread her hands apart.

"This is the consistent strategy of the above, and I am only responsible for implementing it."

She shook her head again, a grave expression on her face.

"Although sometimes the efficiency is low and manpower is wasted, the organization has been operating according to this mechanism for many years. I'm just a newcomer who joined this year. I haven't even seen the whole picture of the Soul Sacrifice Society, so I rashly said that I want to 'reform' , is too arrogant."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze.

"Furthermore, regarding this mechanism that has become a practice, we should not only see how much trouble it has brought, but also how much trouble it would have caused without this mechanism. At least for now, I only have a few fragmented ideas, and I still have a few ideas. It is impossible to come up with a complete and more efficient mechanism... It’s still the same sentence, don’t judge lightly if you don’t know the whole picture.”

After all, Akane Kirino let out a breath slowly, and with the reappearing smile, the expression on her face became lively.

"How, like?"

"picture."

Hongzi giggled for a while, and then said: "But Soya doesn't have so many small movements, and his expression... probably isn't as rich as Akane's."

"That's not like it."

Akane Kirino pursed her lips, and then said: "Soya just had the same expression at the time, but it was a stinky fart... probably because he felt that he had said something very powerful."

"really……"

Soya left in a hurry after eating the ramen, the two girls stayed in the shop, chatting while eating, Kirino Akane also imitated what he said when he came back last night.

A few more minutes passed, and the two had almost finished eating.

"Going back?" Akane Kirino asked.

"Going home... or going back to Soya?"

"Go to Jiaoban first to have a look, and then go home." Akane Kirino stood up, "It's actually quite boring over there. I stayed until three o'clock yesterday afternoon and went back."

I'm bored and can stay until after three o'clock...

Hongzi didn't say anything, just nodded.

As soon as I walked out of the ramen shop, the sun was scorching and the heat wave was pressing.

The two hurried to Jiaofan, the policewoman on duty looked at them and nodded in greeting, and Soya stood up, as if about to go out.

"Is it finally finished? Go home."

"Hey, Soya's work is over?" Akane Kirino asked.

"I mean you two." He walked out, "I'm going out now."

"Where?"

"Near [-]-chome [-]th Fandi."

Sogu turned his head back in the sunlight, squinting his eyes, "There is a spirit entity making trouble over there, and there are no colleagues nearby who can go there."

"Three-chome? Isn't that right here? I'm going too." Akane Kirino looked at Hongzi again, "Does Hongzi want to visit?"

"Okay."

"As long as you don't mind the heat." Zongya looked around, and soon found his bicycle.

"Why did it stop there?"

Akane Kirino stared over there for a moment, "It wasn't sunny just now..."

"Forget it, I'll go first."

Sogu ran to the side of the bicycle and touched the seat cushion first, and it was really hot from the sun.

"hiss--"

Reluctantly sitting on it, he twisted twice, and didn't intend to take them, so he pedaled straight to the vicinity of Sifandi.

"number 22……"

Following the house number all the way to find the past, a few minutes later, Soya successfully found the home of Ms. Ichiguchi who had encountered a supernatural event.

The door of the house was wide open, and the lady Shikou standing at the door was full of surprise, exuding an aura of uneasiness all over her body.Glancing at Soya, she didn't know that he was the one who came to solve the trouble.

Leaning against the wall to stop his bicycle, Soya strode over, "Ms. Ichiguchi?"

"it's me……"

"I am the person sent by Heqiu Jiaofan to solve your troubles."

"Eh, really?" She looked at the young man in front of her again, and felt that he was no more than 20 years old at most.

Soya said no nonsense, "Is the 'ghost' still there?"

"Still!"

As soon as the ghost broke into the house, Ms. Shiguchi immediately let go of all doubts, "It's in the restaurant!"

Soya walked in, and she pointed the way behind.

"This way..."

When I came to the restaurant, I saw the glass wine glass suspended in the air and kept shaking. Ms. Shiguchi's legs were weak again, and she couldn't take a step closer.

"give it to me."

Turning around and confessing, Soya walked straight over and stopped by the dining table, "Are you someone from the Ichiguchi family?"

"—I figured it out."

The spirit body of the middle-aged man who had already bald suddenly spoke, as if responding to him, but what he said had nothing to do with his identity.

"The so-called 'Soul Sacrifice Meeting' is actually a scam."

He leaned back on the chair, shaking the wine glass roughly, spilling a little of the red wine in it from time to time, "It's like buying a lottery ticket. Before the draw, it seems that everyone has a chance, but the big prize will never come to you. "

Soya didn't speak, but looked at the wine bottle on the table next to him.

"And the Soul Sacrifice will be held once a year, and only one lucky person will be born among countless undead. It is more cruel than a lottery—there is no consolation prize. I will definitely not win, I have seen it through!"

After all, he downed half a glass of red wine in one gulp.

Seeing Soya picking up the wine bottle, he handed over the glass again.

Soya fell back a little, "Do you know Ms. Ichiguchi?"

"Too little, pour a little more. She is a bit like my first love girlfriend. She looks very tough, but when she encounters something she is afraid of, she will reveal her true colors and hide beside her tremblingly, but this is also her cuteness. In order to see that cute expression, I can't help but tease her... Can you understand?"

"clear."

Inserting the cork into the mouth of the bottle, and pressing it twice, Soya held the bottle upside down, smashing his head with just one blow.

"I understand."

Before the spirit body that had lost its head completely disintegrated and dissipated, Sogu took the wine glass from his hand and placed it on the dining table.

"Ms. Shiguchi, don't worry, the ghost has been wiped out by me."

Ms. Shikou shrank at the door of the restaurant, looked at him, and then looked at the red wine glass that was still on the table.

"……real?"

But before he could answer, a call suddenly came from behind, instantly frightening her out of her wits and screaming.

"Soya?"

"what--"

Caught off guard, Kirino Akane and Hongzi were also taken aback and screamed.

"ah--"

Scream delivered.

"what--"

"ah--"

"..."

Sogu's ears were itchy from the shouting.

After a while, Ms. Shikou, who had just recovered from the shock, calmed down a little.

"I'm really sorry--"

The two girls who came uninvited bowed and apologized together.Feeling that Akane Kirino's waist was not bent low enough, Soya pressed her back again.

She turned and glared at him.

"No, I was rude..." Ms. Shikou accepted their apology, but she was still a little worried, "Has the ghost really disappeared?"

"It's absolutely true." After all, the other party is an invisible ordinary person, Sogu can only prove to her the existence of the spirit body, but cannot prove its non-existence, so he didn't emphasize too much, but gave her an amulet.

"Hanging this guard at home can avoid ghosts, and you won't encounter this kind of situation again in the future."

Ms. Shiguchi took it carefully, even without any proof, she was convinced a lot at once.

"thanks……"

"you are welcome."

"That wine glass..."

"Do whatever you want."

Soya had to go back to work, so he politely declined Ms. Shiguchi's warm invitation to stay for a cup of tea and a few snacks, and of course Akane Kirino and Hongzi would not stay either.

Leaving Shiguchi's house, Soya pushed the cart, and the two followed.At the next intersection, the eyes behind her disappeared, and Akane Kirino asked, "Is that guard really that effective?"

"If it's effective, what else do we need to do? Every year when it's the Obon Festival, we just need to distribute amulets to the nearby residents." Soya said as he got on his bike.

Hongzi sat in the back seat, "So, Yushou is just a psychological comfort?"

"Well, giving the victim an amulet is more effective than explaining it for an hour." Soya looked back at her, and Akane Kirino squeezed up behind her, "After all, except for some areas with a large 'spiritual flow' , the probability of houses in other places being harassed by spirits twice in a row is quite low. Even if it did happen, you can use the excuse of 'this time a more powerful ghost came', so you won't encounter it again The third time... I said, what are you two doing?"

"Aren't you going to return?" Akane Kirino asked.

"Back."

She tilted her head, "Let's go."

"What are you two doing in the past?" Sogu looked at her, "Didn't you say that staying in Jiaofan was boring yesterday, and Hongzi will accompany you when you go home today."

Akane Kirino thought for a while, "Yes."

And Hongzi was far from bored, so she didn't want to go back.After being stared at by Soya for a while, she still compromised.

"Go back." He motioned for the two to get out of the car again.

"Then give me the bike back."

"This is my car."

Akane Kirino refused to go down, "I rode here."

"Okay." Soya turned around, "When the time comes to call the police again, it's better for Ms. Kawahe to drive me off on a patrol motorcycle."

"..."

Got punched on the back.

"...Send me and Qian to the intersection ahead, and we'll go back."

"Sit still."

"En." Hongzi moved forward again, hugging his waist.

After more than a minute, the three separated at the intersection. Hongzi and Akane Kirino walked home, and Soya rode a bicycle and returned to Koban from the other side.

"Mr. Soya, is Ms. Ichiguchi's matter resolved?" Ms. Kawai asked.

"solved."

"Okay, hard work."

After returning to his temporary office and sitting down, Soya let out a long sigh of relief.

"Don't Soya-kun's friends come over?"

"They've already gone back."

"Which one?"

"what."

There was no police report for the time being, so the young police lady dragged a stool and sat across from him, "Mr. Sogu, don't pretend to be stupid."

"..."

He smiled.

"Both."

The police came out in the afternoon, and Zongya lived quite peacefully in the afternoon. He just needed to sit on the phone and make phone calls and direct his colleagues.The bicycle "robbed" from Akane Kirino has been parked in the shade outside Koban.

At six o'clock in the evening, the sun was setting, and his duty for today was over.

But it's not quite over either.

"Thanks for your hard work……"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Soya can't go back directly, he has to stay in Jiaofan, waiting for other colleagues in the jurisdiction to come over and take over the work.After all the handover, he had to summarize today's overall situation to the higher-level agency personnel.

The witches, known and unknown, came one by one, handed over the work, and then left. It was not until around [-]:[-] that the last colleague arrived in a hurry.

"Sorry for the long wait...I should be the last one to come here."

"Miss Shidao's duty station is the farthest from Koban, so there is nothing I can do about it being late. Thank you for your hard work."

"Souya-kun too, thank you for your hard work." The maiden smiled, "Would you like to have a drink together later?"

"I'm still a high school student."

"It's okay to make an exception once in a while."

The policewoman who was still on duty reminded her, "Miss Shidao, this is what the reporter said...I heard it all."

"Ah...you won't arrest me, will you?"

"Not yet. If it continues, it will be hard to say."

The last miko left quickly, and after sorting out the collected work, Soya said goodbye to the two policemen who had been on duty together for two days.

Ms. Chuanhe sent him outside, "Will the one who will be on duty tomorrow be a handsome guy?"

"I don't know either." Soya smiled, "But the possibility of a witch is higher."

"Alright. Soya-kun, be careful on the way back."

"Ok."

Riding on his bicycle, Soya came to the station, handed over the work summary to the agency staff stationed here, and got tomorrow's duty arrangement from the other party.

"Are you really going to stand guard on the street...it's a little far away."

"Thank you for your hard work. Please gather at the designated location before eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"I see."

Running back and forth, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

When passing by the supermarket, Soya couldn't remember whether the refrigerator at home needed to be replenished with ingredients, so he called Akane Kirino to ask.

"No need. Is Soya coming back?"

"Up to 5 minutes."

There was a cheer over there.

After hanging up the phone, he rushed into the night, riding faster and faster on the deserted path.

"Welcome back~"

Hongzi greeted him at the entrance.Confirming that Akane Kirino is still in the kitchen, she whispered, "Shout Soya eat first, take a bath first, or..."

"Let's eat people first."

Hongzi glared at him, and when he walked over, hugged him tightly again.

"During the few days I went to Hokkaido, I missed you every day..."

Putting his arms around her back, Soya hugged her a little harder, and his body gradually relaxed.

"Me too."

Feeling his different enthusiasm, she raised her head, "I only think about Soya."

"I miss you."

"..."

Hongzi lowered her head, bumped against his chest, and then let go.

"Dinner is ready."

"Did Hong Zi prepare it?"

"I prepared it with Akane."

When I came to the restaurant, except for the last miso soup, other dishes had been put on the table, Kirino Akane glanced back.

"Welcome back~"

Go upstairs and call Xia Chaowuling and Yuedu, who sit on the dining table, clasp their hands, still holding the handle, and keep pressing against the air.

"what are you doing."

"practise."

"Practice what?"

"Dodging waterbirds."

After looking at it for a while, Soya felt like breaking his fingers.

"I'm starting - how does it taste?"

"It's so delicious it makes me cry."

"How could it be so exaggerated. Hee hee."

"Really, you should prepare three meals a day in the future."

"Um...no way!"

After dinner, Yuedu went upstairs without wiping his mouth.Zong Gu and Chao Wuling sat on the edge to rest, and suddenly felt that something was missing in the yard.

"Alps..."

Hongzi's Shiba Inu disappeared.

It should be brought back, he thought.

However, Hongzi also said that his family members were going to stay at his grandma's house in the countryside for a few days, so they should send them over.

After sitting for a while, Chao Wuling suddenly turned to look in the direction of the gate of the yard.

A figure came from the darkness, "I haven't been here for many years... Oh, Soya-kun."

"..."

Soya was startled for a moment, and when the person came closer, he immediately recognized him: "Miss Yoshikawa."

"good evening."

Qingzi took Alps by the hand, "Long time no see, is the other 'Miss Yoshikawa' here?"

"Hongzi is in the kitchen. I'll call her."

He stood up, but Qingzi said no.

"Ah, what a cute loli."

She walked up to Chao Wuling and stared at her for a while.

"Soya-kun's younger sister?"

"Do not……"

"Junior high school student?"

"High school student."

Zhao Wuling just looked back blankly.

"--elder sister?"

Qingzi raised his head, and his sister came from the kitchen.

"What is sister doing here?"

"I want to see how my younger sister is happy to be in someone else's house."

"..."

"OK, I've seen it, it's time to go back now." Qingzi handed the dog leash to his younger sister, "We're going to the countryside tomorrow morning."

"I see."

Qing Zi looked at Zong Gu again, "Then Hong Zi will ask Zong Gu to take care of him."

He nodded, "OK."

"By the way, where is the izakaya run by Mr. Kirino? Mom and Dad went over to say hello, and I want to go over to say hello too, and have a few drinks by the way."

“Izakaya in…”

Asked about the address, Qingzi waved his hand, turned and left.

The man left, leaving a dog behind.Soya patted the Shiba Inu's head, Hongzi looked at it for a while, and handed him the rope.

"Are you going to walk the dog later?"

"It's about as good as the dog walking me." He untied the rope and let Alps go free, "I have no strength."

She smiled, knelt down behind him, and put her hands on his shoulders.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Don't pinch, I seem to feel more tired... It hurts."

buzz-

Sitting and chatting, after a while, Soya's cell phone vibrated suddenly.

"Kyoko..."

After answering the phone, he got up and walked in, "Good evening."

Hongzi looked back until Zonggu left the living room without looking back, as if the moment of tenderness just now was her illusion.

When she came back to her senses, she found that Chao Wuling was looking at her.

"Even so, do you still think that sooner or later he will give up Jingzi and choose you?"

"..."

Hongzi pursed her lips tightly.

"even so……"

"—He has already stood by my side." Chao Wuling said.

Her eyes widened instantly.

"He's starting to face up to his desires."

Zhao Wuling raised her knees and faced her, "Although she is not firm enough, she still hesitates and shakes because of some things... Now, you need to push each other."
