Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 351 Attribution
Standing alone at the agreed place at the end of the bridge, Jingzi took out her mobile phone, checked the time, and checked the news by the way.

The message has not been read, and naturally there is no reply.

"Student Fangming..."

Putting away the phone, she looked back, and the other colleagues who were on duty with her were almost all in place.

Don't even have time to check the news...

Kyoko was a little worried.

After waiting for a while, when it was two minutes before nine o'clock, Soya suddenly emerged from a dark corner at the bridgehead.

Jingzi was taken aback for a moment, never expecting him to appear there, "Student Fangming..."

"Feel sorry."

As Zonggu came over, he lowered his head and looked at himself, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he said, "I'm late."

"No, not late yet..."

Looking at his wind-blown hair, Jingzi still wanted to say something, so he pulled her up and ran to the place where he was on duty at the bridgehead, "Let's go there first and then we'll talk."

She ran after him.

Avoiding traffic, the two stood on the partition between the lanes, and the witch next to them greeted with a smile, "I'll be late in one minute."

"Sorry..." Kyoko was a little out of breath.

"It's okay." Another witch said, "If you arrive a few minutes late, you won't be noticed."

Kyoko shook her head and said nothing, then glanced at Soya next to her.

He looked down at the phone, flipped it twice, and smiled apologetically at her: "Sorry, I didn't look at the phone just now."

"Never mind...hair."

Sogu glanced up, grabbed it a few times, and said, "I just came back from Kyoto, and I ran into a little trouble on the way, so... a friend sent me here."

Jingzi looked from afar at the dark area he had just drilled out of, and said nothing.

It was nine o'clock, and the second night's duty began. At this time, there was a lot of traffic on the road, and there were no spirits crossing the bridge for the time being.

After watching for a while, Soya lowered his head and turned over the phone again.

Akane Kirino and Hongzi both left him a lot of messages, full of care and worry between the lines.I didn't have time to check the replies before, but now the last thing I lack is time.

Soya: I'm fine.

buzz-

"..."

The phone call came.

Soya didn't answer.

Liberty be liberty, but it's still inappropriate to call while on guard.

Kirino:! ! !
Soya: I'm on duty.

Kirino:? ? ?
First, he took a photo of the toll booth for her, indicating that he was already on duty, and Soya selectively explained to her what happened after he woke up.

And from the subsequent questioning of her and Hongzi, he also roughly understood the whole picture of his falling into the river.

Kirino: Soya suddenly fell down without any warning, and almost brought Suzu into the river.Everyone around was taken aback.

Kirino: Fortunately, the place where Soya fell was not too shallow. I didn't hit any stones in the river, and I wasn't washed too far by the river. I picked you up easily.

In Hongzi's description, Kirino Akane didn't even look at it at the time, and jumped into the river directly. After pulling him to the shore, she slipped and fell while landing, almost hitting her head.

Kirino: Soya was unconscious, and I couldn't lift it. The adults around came to help and carried Soya to a nearby medical room.

Hongzi: But Soya has been unable to wake up.

Kirino: Because Soya has not woken up, the doctor in the medical room asked us to send you to a nearby big hospital for examination.Before getting into the car, suddenly several people came over, took Sogu to another car and took him away.Bell said that was the person she was looking for.

Hongzi: Soya was taken away by someone called by Suzu. Akane and I also wanted to go there. Suzu agreed at first, but suddenly said no.Akane got angry all of a sudden, but Suzu only said that Soya would be fine.

Hongzi: Being rejected by Ling, Qian was not in the mood to watch the krathong and Wushan send fire, so we came back first.

Kirino: The car that came back was also arranged by Suzu, and it was delivered directly to my home.Now Ling shuts herself in the room, Hongzi and I are together.

Hongzi: How is Soya doing now?Why are you still on guard?
Soya: I'm fine, so I'll come here.

Hongzi: Why did you faint?
Soya: Probably just because I didn't sleep well.

Hongzi: ...

Hongzi: Then you still go on duty?
Soya: I feel good now.

After replying to Hongzi, Sogu clicked on Zhao Wuling's chat window, but she didn't ask anything.

After thinking about it, he didn't say anything, put away his phone, and decided to look for her after he went back.

Looking up at the starry sky, the feeling of soaring into the sky just now is still fresh in my memory.He opened his palms, and the gale at the end of the bridge only seemed gentle at this moment, circling around his fingers like teasing, flowing through the gaps between them.

"Are you flying..."

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Kyoko looking at her, and Soya also looked over. She looked at him for a while before saying, "It seems that Fang Ming is more energetic than yesterday."

"..."

Did he lose energy yesterday?
Soya smiled at her, "Because I don't have any expectations about being on the night shift."

Jingzi also frowned and smiled, "In this case, shouldn't it be reversed?"

"I'm only thinking about Kyoko right now."

"...still on duty."

The two began to chat, and Jingzi talked about what was waiting for him just now.

"Waiting all this time? No, I didn't arrive here until around 08:30, and I didn't wait too long. I thought Fang Ming would come here a few minutes later... It wasn't too late in the end."

"Accidentally stayed longer in Kyoto."

After thinking about it, Soya still didn't tell Kyoko that he fainted and fell into the river, so as not to worry her.

"Student Fangming, did you see Wushan sending fire?"

"I saw it, it was spectacular."

The witch next to her heard the two chatting about sending fire from the Five Mountains, so she also joined in the conversation.

"Did Soya-kun just come back from Kyoto after seeing the five mountains sending fire?"

"Yes."

"That's really rushed. But since I joined the organization, my impression of summer has changed from the sea, festivals and fireworks to overtime, overtime and overtime..."

"It's too exaggerated." Another witch next to her interjected, "Only the Soul Sacrifice Society is busy during this time."

"But Xia Tian has been divided and feels incomplete."

"Adults don't have a complete summer, do you still think of yourself as a student..."

With yesterday's experience, the priestesses have relaxed a lot, and understand that apart from encountering the army of spirits last night, the biggest enemy is actually their own sleepiness, so the chat is very heated.

Occasionally when it is mentioned or accosted, Soya and Kyoko will also join in the conversation.

As time passed, the intersection of the cross-lake bridge gradually became deserted, and the first half of the night passed like this.

At midnight, during the rest time, Kyoko temporarily stood by Soya's side and shared with him the supper she had prepared in the afternoon.

"How about it?"

"It's delicious." Sogu took a bite of the rice ball. No matter the texture or taste, it was not comparable to the rice ball distributed by the middle-aged couple last night, and they also came here today. "It's only a short distance from perfection."

Kyoko bit the rice ball and looked over, "What is it?"

Soya put down the rice ball and opened his mouth slightly, "Ah—"

"..."

It is feeding.

Kyoko glared at him, then looked left and right, and saw that the other maidens were eating supper on their own, hesitated for a second or two, and then fed the rice ball in her hand to his mouth.

Soya opened his mouth and took a big bite, chewed twice, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Perfect."

Kyoko glanced at him, then couldn't help but smile again.

"I also brought tea."

"yes."

She took out the thermos, closed the lid, and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Maybe a little hot."

"It's okay...it's hot!"

After a perfect late-night snack, the break is almost over.

After packing up, Kyoko returned to her seat, and the maiden next to her looked over, "Although it feels like I'm asking too much, but... Miss Sugawara and Soya-kun are dating, right?"

Jingzi's expression tightened, and he fell silent.

"Eh……"

The witch froze for a moment, realizing that she seemed to have said something wrong, "No, that...sorry."

"We're dating." Soya's reply suddenly came from the other side.

Kyoko looked over, he looked at them, and continued: "For one reason or another, we are dating in private. As Miss Gutian saw, Kyoko is my girlfriend."

"..."

She looked at him without saying anything, and when another witch looked over again, she nodded without any hesitation.

"Hey, so it's like this..."

The duty started in the second half of the night, and the relationship between the two became a topic of discussion among the priestesses for a while.

Of course, the two parties were by their side, so they wouldn't talk about it too clearly, although Soya and Kyoko heard both good and bad words.

It was almost one o'clock in the morning, and the shrine maidens finally finished their discussion, and their guesses were unified: Soya was too popular among girls, and in order to protect Kyoko from harassment, that's why she didn't date her publicly.

The two heard it too.

Kyoko: "Is that so?"

Soya: "..."

There were no crowds of spirit bodies, and few drivers who struck up a conversation. The second half of the night was calm and there were no waves.

By two or three o'clock in the morning, the maidens had nothing to talk about and showed signs of fatigue one after another, and Kyoko was no exception.

There was no car in front of or behind the driveway, and no spirit passed by. She stood up and paced left and right on the partition, trying to shake off her drowsiness.

On the other hand, Zong Gu was so energetic that even he was surprised.

It couldn't be because he was in a coma for a while last night, he thought to himself.

At three o'clock and four o'clock, when the darkest moment before dawn passes, the sky gradually becomes brighter again.The distant sky was white, and the enlightened people ushered in the second sunrise at the bridgehead of Lake Biwa Bridge.

"It's finally morning..."

After the sun came out and in the morning, the toll booth at the bridgehead was busier than yesterday.

"After all, the Obon Festival is over."

And the Soul Sacrifice is not over yet.

Standing guard in the traffic flow until eight o'clock in the morning, the psychics did not finish their night shift.

This round of duty came to an end, and the maidens from different shrines bid farewell to each other, looking forward to the next meeting.

"When it's over, you will feel that time has passed too fast." Soya said.

The nights are tough, and the days of running around are even harder.

"Yeah." The two had already boarded the bus back, Kyoko leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

After the night passed, Zongya finally felt tired, but he was still in much better condition than yesterday morning, "I don't know where I will be sent tomorrow."

"The Obon Festival is over, and the Soul Sacrifice will not last long, and there are probably only one or two rounds of duty left." Jingzi whispered, holding his arm tightly.

"En." Sogu lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said no more.

Next to him, Kyoko fell asleep briefly, and was awakened by him when she arrived at the station.

Transferring to the tram and arriving at Yasu Station, she wanted Soya to go back directly, but he declined.

The two got out of the car together, and when they passed by the agency station at the station here, Jingzi stopped and asked about his duty arrangements for tomorrow.

"Fuyun Shrine in Yasu Town, Kyoko Sugawara."

Reporting her name and shrine to the miko inside, Kyoko whispered to Soya while waiting, "I just hope you don't get sent too far away."

He waited behind, ready to ask about his arrangements by the way.

"Well, I hope that I won't be separated from Kyoko."

She squeezed his hand tightly, "Don't be too greedy..."

Soon, the maiden in the window handed out Kyoko's duty schedule.

"..."

After taking a look, she was stunned for two seconds, and then she woke up a little bit.

"What's wrong?" Soya asked.

Kyoko handed over the document.

In the column of duty arrangements, there is no location or time, only a few simple words.

[No arrangements yet. 】

The two looked at each other, "Special holiday?"

"do not know……"

"At least I can rest well for two days." Soya said again.

Kyoko nodded, and then made way for her.

"Fuyun Shrine in Yasu Town, Yoshiaki Soya."

"OK, just a second."

After a while, Soya also got his duty arrangement.

In other words, a holiday notice.

"It's also 'no arrangement'...is this a benefit after the night shift?"

Kyoko said he didn't know.

Asked about the Miko in the window, she also shook her head again and again.

"Occasionally, there will be such a situation... But this is an arrangement of the organization. I don't know the specific reason."

"Ok."

Soya felt surprised and even more happy that he had two extra days of vacation.The sense of imbalance that quietly appeared in my heart also quietly disappeared without a trace.

Leaving the station and sending Kyoko home, he also didn't stay.

"See you tomorrow."

"uh-huh."

Back at Kirino's old house, it was less than nine o'clock, and Kirino Akane and Hongzi were already up.

"Songya!"

As soon as Kirino Qian heard the voice, she came to greet him, walked around him twice, held his head again, and looked around.

"Look down."

"What are you doing?"

"I'll see if there's a wound on the head."

"……of course not."

Kirino Akane was still very concerned about his sudden coma, "Are you really all right?"

"It was fine last night."

"Have you been checked at the hospital?"

"Almost." Zong Gu said vaguely, and before she asked further questions, he said that he was very hungry.

Hongzi also came over at this time, "Breakfast is ready."

After breakfast, Sogu went upstairs to rest in his room, and the two of them also came up to stay for a while, and asked many things they cared about.

"You should go out."

"Oh."

Hongzi stayed behind, and when Akane Kirino left the room, she whispered to him: "My bedding is not cleared yet, Soya can sleep in our room."

"...You should clean up."

"Can Soya sleep without my smell?"

"I can sleep." Sogu folded his arms, "I didn't take a shower on purpose, my body smells like Kyoko."

"……abnormal."

"Each each other."

Before leaving the room, Hongzi asked one last question: "Is Soya's body really all right?"

He pursed his lower lip, turned his back to her, "Don't worry."

"—Hongzi?" Kirino Akane's voice came from the corridor.

"Here we come! . . . I'm going out."

"Ah."

With a click, the door closed, and the sound of footsteps faded away.

Soya opened his eyes again, and let out a slow breath.

A minute or two later, the door opened and closed again, and she lay down behind him with the sound of inaudible footsteps.

Her hands came up and wrapped around his waist.

Soya held her hand, "Can you tell me the reason now?"

Pressing his head against his back, he turned to Wuling for a while before speaking: "Didn't the teacher tell you?"

"The teacher didn't say anything... No, she asked me to thank Ling for coming."

Zhao Wuling was silent for a few more seconds.

Sogu turned over, she raised her head, looked at him for a moment, and said, "Who do you think you are?"

"People from Sendai, men, students, young people... I have countless answers to Ling's question."

"Where do you belong?"

"Kinki? Institution? This question is too general..."

"—I mean, the world or the world."

Soya's heart skipped a beat, "Of course it's the world..."

"No." Chao Wuling stroked his cheek, "Eat the food of Huang Quan, and you have become a citizen of Huang Quan."

"..."

For more than half a year, he has been living in this world, getting along with people in this world, dating and even falling in love, Soya almost forgot that his body already belonged to another world.

"You've been away from there for too long," she whispered.

Soya opened his mouth, "It's only been half a year..."

"It's only half a year, but the power of the underworld in your body has been exhausted, and you can't get any replenishment in this world, and these two days are the limit." Chao Wuling paused, "Using the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu is also the same. Need to use the power of the underworld."

He looked at her, "That's why I'm unconscious?"

"You are a citizen of the Yellow Springs, and you are... a living person. In a sense, the power of the Yellow Springs is no different from life."

"..."

Soya understood.

The truth was too heavy for him to speak for a moment.

Chao Wuling was also silent, with her head buried in his chest until he spoke again.

"The so-called teacher took me around, but actually took me to the underworld?"

"Ah."

"It's terrible. That is to say, every six months or so, I have to return to the underworld to replenish the power of the underworld?"

It took her a while to answer.

"Or devour the natural spirit body condensed by the power of Huangquan, such as the daughter of Huangquan, and the army of Huangquan..."

"Does Ling know what terrible things she's talking about?"

She didn't speak.

Letting out a long breath, Sogu fell on his back, his eyes straightened, and he no longer felt sleepy.

"Horror..."
