Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 346 Appearance
Because he went to bed early the night before, Soya woke up the next morning before the alarm clock rang.

The morning light shines into the room, the phone beside the pillow flickers, and there are several messages received in the middle of the night.

[23:45] Hongzi: Why did you lock the door?

[23:45] Hongzi: I know you haven't slept yet.

[23:48] Hongzi: Really fell asleep?
[00:01]Hongzi: Qian has fallen asleep a long time ago, I want to chat with you for a while.

[00:25]Hongzi: Good night.

Shaking his head, Soya put down his cell phone and packed the bedding into the closet.

He was indeed too tired yesterday, and the quality of sleep was extremely high at night. The mobile phone was placed next to the pillow, and messages were sent one after another, but he didn't feel anything at all.

He opened the locked door, fortunately, Hongzi was not lying outside the door.

Looking at the next room, Soya walked over, hesitated for a while, then slowly opened the sliding door and glanced inside.

"..."

Looking at him outside the door, Akane Kirino opened her eyes wide, and subconsciously pulled up the thin quilt covering her chest.

With a click, Soya immediately closed the door.

Dengdengdengdeng-

Before he could take a few steps, Akane Kirino got up and chased him out.

"Songya!"

"Be quiet..."

Looking back at Hongzi who was still sleeping soundly, she closed the door, and her voice became much lower: "What did Zonggu want to do to Hongzi and me just now?"

"...What are you talking about?"

She came over, "Because Soya was sneaky just now."

Zong Gu looked at the sky, but couldn't deny it.

"I just wanted to see if you were awake."

"Really?" Akane Kirino looked at him, "I just woke up too."

"It's early enough, it's not even six o'clock yet."

"Because I fell asleep very early last night...but when I woke up, I saw Soya peeping at the door."

"..."

Seeing that he was speechless, Akane Kirino smiled again.

"I'm hungry, let's go prepare breakfast. I want to eat the cat ear noodle soup that Soya made once before."

"Cat's ears? If you had said earlier, I could have prepared it. Not today."

"Ah... By the way, you have to prepare the dough the night before, right?"

"Well, there's also broth."

"Okay. Whatever you want."

The two went downstairs to wash, Kirino Akane dragged Soya to the living room, and burned incense together in front of the Buddhist altar.

Ding--

In the kitchen, Soya was in charge of preparing breakfast, and she was in charge of sitting at the dining table and waiting.

"Songya."

"Ah."

"Is the work at the shrine hard every day?"

"It should be said that it is the work of the organization. In terms of hard work, this period of time is like this, there is no way."

Akane Kirino held her chin, "Obviously the Obon Festival is a holiday for the whole society."

"Yeah." He set up the cooking pot, "So the overtime pay is also very high these days."

"Hey, how many are there?"

"Well... I only know how high it is, but I haven't checked how much it is."

"Ok."

After a while, Soya turned his head and took a sudden look.

Akane Kirino was in a daze, and only recovered after two or three seconds, tilting her head.

"what happened?"

"I want to ask you that too, I heard you sigh."

She didn't continue to hide, "The night after tomorrow, I want Soya to go to Kyoto with us."

Yesterday was the day of welcoming the bonsai, and the day after tomorrow is the day of sending the bonsai of the Obon Festival. In Kyoto, there is also a quite grand ceremonial ceremony for sending the bonsai.

"To see Wushan send fire?" Zongya asked.

"Well... you can also watch Wushan send fire by the way, but I want to go to Lanshan to release water lanterns."

"Lanshan Lantern." He thought for a while, "No problem."

"Is it really okay?"

Akane Kirino looked at him, "When Soya comes home every day, he looks exhausted."

"It hasn't reached the limit yet." He smiled, and turned around again, "And just go over and have a look, if you don't go shopping, you won't be too tired."

Although it was an invitation sent by herself, Akane Kirino didn't want him to forcefully accompany her with her tired body.

"I'll think about it again...let's talk about it later."

"Ah."

After making breakfast, the two of them ate on the table, and Akane Kirino asked about the situation on duty yesterday.

"It's busy anyway."

"Ok."

She gave up her plan to "inspect work" in the past.

"In addition to Kyoto, there are also many Obon festivals in other nearby places in the past two days."

"Well, Kirino can go for a walk with Hongzi. Take the bell too."

"Okay. Can Soya take time off from work?"

"There was not enough manpower..."

After breakfast, Akane Kirino didn't intend to go upstairs and go back to sleep, she sat in the living room and waited for Hongzi to wake up, while Soya changed her clothes and went out.

The second time, because he was already familiar with the route and the required time yesterday, he did not deliberately seek to arrive early.But when it came to Notogawa Koban, all the witches and colleagues had already arrived.

"I didn't have a chance to chat with you yesterday. I came here early today, but Soya-kun was a bit lazy."

"I am sorry."

"After today's duty is over..."

"I'm still sorry."

It's not time to start duty, and no one wants to start work early. The small chat room is full of chatting witches, but the police can't be seen.

buzz-

Hongzi: Did Soya come to Akane and I's room to peep in the morning?

"..."

Soya: Don't listen to her nonsense.

Hongzi: Why didn't you wake me up and have breakfast?

Soya: I think sleep is more important than breakfast.

Hongzi: Obviously it's just the opposite.

Soya: For Hongzi.

Hongzi: For me, being able to see Soya is more important.

Soya smiled, but did not reply for a while.

Another 2 minutes passed.

Hongzi: What are you talking about!

Soya: Don't say such things if you are shy.

By eight o'clock in the morning, Ayumi Moriyama explained the established matters to her colleagues as usual.They are a little more familiar with each other, and she is much more relaxed today, at least she won't stumble when speaking.

"—Then I'll take care of you, everyone."

Under her watch, the psychics scattered to various parts of the town step by step.With yesterday's experience, Soya rented a bicycle after leaving Koban.

And before he arrived in his "jurisdiction", the dispatch from the agency had already come to him.

Stopping on the side of the road to pick up the phone, Soya showed great enthusiasm for his first job today.

"receive."

After only one or two hours, this enthusiasm could not resist the more "enthusiastic" work and was completely overwhelmed.

At twelve noon, we rest on time.

Soya found a small restaurant near the park and ordered a special pork chop rice for lunch.

The business in the store was good, and there were many diners sitting there, so he sat in the corner of the bar counter.

"welcome."

Another customer entered the store.

When they got close to a certain distance, Soya turned his head in response, a little surprised.

"bell?"

Zhao Wuling responded, stopped beside him, looked up at the menu inside, "What did you order?"

"One more pork chop rice." Soya said to the shopkeeper, and looked at her again, "Why is Ling here?"

"I'm here to find you." Chao Wuling sat down on the chair next to him with some difficulty.

Soya offered his hand, "They didn't come here, did they?"

"No."

He looked at her again, without asking how she knew he was here, and said, "I won't have a long rest at noon."

"En." Zhao Wuling nodded.

She was a little strange. Based on her past experience, she probably wanted to say something to him.

Zong Gu didn't ask, and waited for her to speak up.

After a while, the pork chop rice for the two was brought up together.

Zongya picked up a piece of pork chop and tasted it. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the texture and taste were not bad.

"The timing of the pork chop pot is well grasped."

"Ah."

Chao Wuling doesn't seem to have much appetite, he's almost finished eating, and she hasn't moved much from her portion.

She pushed her portion of tonkatsu over, and Soya pushed it back.

"No, I'm full."

"Ah."

He wiped his mouth, put down his chopsticks towards Wuling, and looked at him, "I have something to tell you."

Soya nodded.

"A fierce spirit escaped from the underworld..."

Bang!
The small cooking room suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's eyes focused on the two people, one tall and one short, and it was easy to guess that the person who just patted the table was the former.

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Soya looked around again, and apologized to the people around him, especially the shop owner, for his gaffe.

After his eyes gradually moved away, he rubbed his aching palm, and confirmed to Chao Wuling in a low voice: "The fierce spirit who escaped from the underworld?"

"Yeah." She looked at his hand, "The teacher told me."

"What a headache..."

Soya couldn't help but sigh.

It would be fine if it was an ordinary evil spirit, but it happened to escape from the underworld, which meant that the daughter of the underworld would also follow.And this happened when he needed his spiritual power the most.

"Did the teacher say where the evil spirit is?"

If it's in a remote place like Kyushu or Northeast, then it's okay to say...

"It's in the Kinki area."

"..."

Zongya felt his head hurt even more, "The teacher has seen it, so can't he just wipe it out?"

Chao Wuling didn't speak, just looked at him, expressing with his eyes that he couldn't order that teacher.

Soya had no choice but to ask, "Did Suzu just come to tell me about this?"

"No, it's to give this to you." She pointed to her left breast.

He quickly realized, "Bachi Qiong Gouyu."

"Ah."

Now is when he needs it.

Zhao Wuling grabbed his hand and pressed it on his chest, "By the way, I will tell you how to use it."

"..."

Soft in his grip, he squeezed it a little.

Zhao Wuling glanced at him, and then, a cold and hard Gouyu appeared in his palm out of thin air.

It was dark green in color, small and exquisite, the same as he had seen before.

Zonggu held Gouyu, and she said again: "Concentrate on Gouyu, wrap it with spiritual power."

He nodded and did so. When the spiritual power was completely wrapped, Gouyu was clearly still in front of his eyes, but suddenly disappeared from his perception.

"How is it?" Chao Wuling asked.

Soya shook his head, "I can't feel it."

"A deeper level of awareness."

"How to do it?"

"You can only figure it out by yourself." She looked at him, "If you can't do it, it means you have nothing to do with the artifact."

After a pause, Chao Wuling said again: "I believe in you."

"What kind of sudden test is this..."

Zonggu shook his head, looked at the time again, and refocused his energy on the hook jade in his palm.

"Then I'll try again."

"Ah."

Chao Wuling picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat, but his attention was all on him, and he didn't care about the taste of the pork chop rice in his mouth at all.

Wrapping the visible and "invisible" Gouyu with spiritual power, Sogu's consciousness became more and more concentrated.

Surrounding, outlining, constructing and deconstructing, I don't know how long it took, and Lingli's continuous exploration of nothingness finally got feedback.

It was like a stone falling into a completely calm lake, and the ripples spread around from where it fell, and the scope became larger and larger, so did his feeling;

It was originally just an insignificant point, but it expanded rapidly, and soon completely appeared in his senses.

Gouyu finally emerged from nothingness.

Zonggu had a new feeling, as if this Gouyu was originally a part of his body.With a thought, Gouyu suddenly melted into his palm and disappeared.

"..."

Taking a deep breath towards Wuling, "You can do it."

Having said that, her expression was far from happy, but instead had a heavy feeling of witnessing fate.

Moving his mind again, Gouyu resurfaced, Zonggu picked up Gouyu, and looked at it with his eyes and mind.

"It's amazing."

"Will it work?"

"Ah."

Controlling the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu to turn on or off the ability to shield the spiritual sense is simpler than controlling it to integrate into the body, and it only needs one thought.Zonggu felt relieved because of this, even if he encountered the daughter of Huangquan later, no matter how fast the other party moved, it would not be as fast as his thoughts.

However, although the artifact is convenient, after all, it was given to Chao Wuling by Emperor Ju, and he didn't intend to keep it for himself. He just returned it to her after this embarrassing time passed.

"When the time comes, I'll continue to wear Kirino's amulet."

Zhao Wuling didn't say a word about this, and went back to eating pork chop rice.

There were about 10 minutes left in the break, and Soya sat beside him, playing with the Gouyu in his hand while waiting.

"Do they know that Ling is here to look for me?"

"do not know."

"That's good……"

After eating a small piece of fried pork cutlet, Zhao Wuling had no appetite after all, so she quickly put down her chopsticks again.

"Don't eat yet?"

"Ah."

Check out and leave, seeing that there is still a little time left, Soya is going to ride her to the station by bike.

"No, I'll wait for you here."

"Wait for me...it will be boring."

"It doesn't matter."

Soya didn't say much, and took her to the park on his bicycle, and put her down when he passed by a bench under the shade of a tree.

"Let's wait for me right here."

"Ah."

He was originally running around Notogawa Park, so in the afternoon, he would come here when he was free, even if he didn't even stay for a few minutes most of the time;
The work of destroying spirits everywhere is still busy, but because there is a little more expectation, it is no longer boring, and the fatigue of running back and forth has also dissipated a lot in the short-term tenderness.

In the evening, the last incident was resolved, a few minutes after six o'clock.

With Asagiri, Soya went to return the rented bicycle first, and then walked to Koban together.

Ayumi Moriyama stood at the door, welcoming the returning colleagues, his eyes were soon attracted by the girl he was leading.

"Soya-san, is this a lost child?"

"Do not……"

After handing over the work, saying goodbye to the temporary colleagues who had been working together for two days, Soya took Asagiri Rin and took the tram back.

When he got off at the near lake station, he couldn't go home directly, so he had to go to the temporary station set up by the agency to ask about his duty arrangements for the next two days.

"Things that can be resolved by sending an email, I have to go there myself..."

This is one of the low-efficiency aging practices recognized by almost everyone, and Jingzi also has some criticisms about it, but it has not been reformed because of various reasons;
The only good thing is that the station is a must for most people to travel. Perhaps this is why the voice of change has not been loud enough...

Arriving at the station with messy thoughts, Soya waited for a while as there were two priestesses ahead.

When it was his turn, the person in charge dressed as a witch looked at him twice more.

"People from the headquarter of Liuliguang Academy?"

"No." Soya shook his head, and directly reported his name and the shrine he belonged to, "Fuyun Shrine in Yasu Town, Yoshiaki Soya."

"Oh, I seem to have the impression that you came here the day before yesterday... wait a minute."

"Ok."

In Kansai, especially in the Kinki region, the proportion of male psychics is very low, and they are basically concentrated in temples or the headquarter of Ruri Koin Temple. Male psychics attached to shrines like Soya are actually rare;

Therefore, when I met a new colleague these days, if I didn't explain it specifically, the other party would think that he was from the headquarters.

After waiting for a while, the person in charge of the station printed out a form and handed it to Soya.

"Since it has been digitized..."

After taking the form, Soya glanced at the computer in the window again, "Just send an email."

The person in charge smiled and shook his head, "It's not up to me to decide."

Soya didn't say anything, she looked at Zhao Wuling who came with him again.

"Shrine, name."

"Do not……"

Zongya immediately realized that the other party had misunderstood her identity, "She just came with me, and did not join the organization."

"Really?" The person in charge looked at Wuling again, "If I'm not wrong, you are a spiritual sense person, right?"

"Yes." Soya replied for her.

"There are so few psychics in the Kinki area now, why not let her join the organization... Is she Mr. Soya's younger sister?"

"No." Soya also looked at Asagiri, "It's a girlfriend."

"..."

The person in charge looked at him again, and the word "Loricon" came to his lips, and he swallowed it again.

"I hope that Mr. Soya and Miss Girlfriend can reconsider my suggestion just now."

"We will."

Because of this trivial matter, Zongya was a little distracted, and only remembered to check his duty schedule for tomorrow after leaving the station.

"Ok?"

Looking towards Wuling, "What's the matter?"

"The ancestor of the Kirino family has appeared..."

He's on the night shift.

"Tomorrow from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am the day after tomorrow, and from [-]:[-] pm the day after tomorrow to [-]:[-] am the day after tomorrow, I will be on duty at the entrance of Shoushan City on the Biwa Lake Bridge Toll Road... It's actually a night shift."

Back at Kirino's old house, Soya first went to burn incense sticks in front of the Buddhist altar in the living room.

During the meal, Jingzi sent her duty schedule.
