Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 378 Summer is running out

Turned off the lights, the room was dark and silent.

There was no keyboard sound coming from the room on the other side, and it was so quiet that it was a little frightening.

Going back to lie down on the futon, looking at the ceiling in the darkness, Kirino Akane was still a little dissatisfied.

"What's on your mind, you have to think about it alone..."

Being rejected by Soya, she vented all the unhappiness in her heart on the flimsy quilt.

After kicking off the quilt a few times, Akane Kirino turned over and buried her face in the pillow.

"...What's on your mind?"

Zong Gu has not slept here for more than ten days, and there is not much smell of him on the pillow.Akane Kirino turned over again and hugged the pillow in her arms.

"Is it something unpleasant with the senior sister, or something else."

She wondered to herself.

"Hongzi didn't come here today..."

It seems that because the police came to investigate her disappearance, Hongzi stayed at home all day today and didn't have time to come over.

"I should be free tomorrow." Akane Kirino thought.

But the summer vacation is running out.

"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... are you going back to school to participate in the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow? It's so fast."

Although she still prefers a free holiday, Akane Kirino does not resist the start of school.

In the upcoming summer vacation, she went to the seaside in Kyushu, and also went to the countryside of Hongzi's grandmother's house. She also finished her summer homework ahead of schedule, and she didn't leave any regrets...

Just one question left.

"..."

Holding the pillow tightly, smelling the last bit of smell left on it, she thought that the answer to this question should come out soon.

Drowsiness hit, Akane Kirino relaxed and did not resist.

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.

Getting up and changing clothes, she came to the door of Soya's room, she tried to pull it, and the door opened directly.

"..."

There was no one inside, and Soya had already woken up.

"Humph."

When he came downstairs, he was brushing his teeth and greeted her with his eyes in the mirror.

"Good morning."

Kirino Akane went over, squeezed beside him, and squeezed the toothpaste.

grunt-

After spitting out the mouthwash, Sogu still had a lot of foam on his mouth, "Can't you just wait a little while?"

"No."

Soya washed his face, Kirino Akane brushed his teeth, when he was about to go out, she held him back.

"What are you doing?"

"No no no."

"..."

She stopped, "What's for breakfast."

"eat you."

Akane Kirino giggled, "Okay."

Zongya struggled, "Let go quickly."

"Help me comb my hair. Such long hair is very enjoyable to comb."

"...What is this saying?"

She let go, then picked up the comb and gave it to him.

Soya took it, walked behind her, and looked at her in the mirror.

"Do you comb like this?"

"No no no."

The black hair was black and shiny, falling down, sleeping a little messy, Zongu combed it to the end, without any hindrance.

grunt-

"It's very soft."

"Ah."

"continue."

"Didn't you brush your teeth?"

"Finish combing for me."

After combing it a few more times, Soya's movements became more proficient.As she said, combing long hair does feel a little bit of fun.

"Soya like long hair or short hair?" Akane Kirino looked at him in the mirror.

"Myself?"

"Nah."

"Long hair." Soya said, after all, he was combing his long hair.Kyoko also has long hair.

Akane Kirino smiled slightly, "Me too."

"Of course you are, otherwise you would have cut your hair as short as Hongzi's."

"Speaking of haircuts, Soya's hair seems to be a little longer again."

Sogu pursed his lower lip, but did not answer.

"Soya's hair seems to be very long."

He continued to brush her hair.

"It's time for Soya's hair to be cut."

After combing to the end, he was about to uncomb again, when Akane Kirino turned her head and said, "Let me cut it."

"Wouldn't it be better if you just speak up, beating around the bush."

"Then it will be me forcing Soya."

Soya looked at her, "Isn't it now?"

"is it?"

"Isn't it?"

"is it?"

The two stared at each other, Sogu raised his hand, wiped the corner of her mouth, and wiped the white foam from his fingertips onto her face.

"Wash your face first."

"Ah!...You comb it a few more times."

After washing up, Akane Kirino took the comb and combed it a few times by herself, and Soya went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"Soya really likes long hair..."

She just has long hair.

Sugawara-senpai also has long hair.

"..."

After staring at herself in the mirror for a while, Akane Kirino raised her hand and patted her face.

Pop, pop.

Yuedu also got up early today, and went upstairs after breakfast.Soya asked a few questions about the situation of the investigation, but he just shook his head, obviously the situation was not optimistic.

"I don't know if Hongzi will come over in the morning." Kirino Qian said.

Even if she had time, Mrs. Yoshikawa probably would not allow her daughter to come to him, Soya thought.

"Ask."

"Well... Speaking of which, the police went to Hongzi's house to question her yesterday. Doesn't Soya need to go through this process?"

"It should be, I don't know too well." Sogu remembered that when he came out of the Liuliguangyuan yesterday, the police at the door didn't stop him, and he didn't know what the attitude was.

"If necessary, will the police come to my house? Although the police have already come when Soya disappeared a few days ago."

"Hard to say."

"I'm kind of looking forward to it."

"Have you ever seen the police?"

"Why don't I just call the police and say Soya is back?"

"Stop it."

Akane Kirino laughed, and just about to say something, the phone vibrated.

"Ah, Hongzi said that it's not convenient for her..."

really.

Soya didn't say anything, but Akane Kirino couldn't easily accept this vague statement, so she sent a message to ask a few more questions.

"what."

"What's the matter?" Sogu has been paying attention to the movement on her side.

"Hongzi said let me make a call."

"……let's hit."

So Akane Tongye called Hongzi.

"Cy, what's wrong?"

"Hey, it's not Hongzi..."

"Cough, cough, cough—" She suddenly coughed.

"Ask her if she wants to come and play." Sogu reminded in a low voice.

Akane Kirino was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, and nodded to him.

"Will Hongzi come to my house to play?"

"It's not convenient today..."

"Is there a problem?"

Hongzi sat on the sofa, glanced at her mother who was sitting next to her, lowered her head and continued rubbing her knees, "It's fine."

"Then why is it inconvenient?"

"Mom won't let me go."

"what?"

Mrs. Yoshikawa turned her head and looked over.

"Why?" She deliberately turned on the speakerphone, and Akane Kirino asked successively from the microphone, "Why doesn't Auntie let Hongzi come over?"

"Can I go and play with Qian." Hongzi looked at her mother.

"Did Hongzi go to look for her?" Mrs. Yoshikawa looked at her daughter.

"That's right." Hongzi didn't change her face, she looked at her mother, but the momentum on her face became weaker and weaker until it was nothing.

Seeing her guilty look with wandering eyes, Mrs. Yoshikawa sighed deeply.

"Come back early, don't do stupid things."

"Uh-huh!"

Akane Kirino listened on the other side, also turned on the speakerphone, covered the microphone and said to Soya, "Auntie seems to agree with Hongzi to come and play."

"Ah."

"Why didn't you agree just now?"

Sogu turned his head and looked at the yard outside, "Because Hongzi is her most precious daughter."

"Eh?"

Hongzi's voice came from the receiver: "I'll be right over."

"Ah good……"

About 10 minutes later, Hongzi came to Kirino's old house, carrying a large watermelon.

"My sister bought it."

"Is Miss Qingzi still here?" Sogu stood up and took the watermelon.

"Well, go back to Tokyo tomorrow morning." Hongzi watched him go to the kitchen, "Don't steal it, my sister said watermelon is not for Soya."

"..."

He looked back at her and said nothing.

"Why?" Akane Kirino signaled Hongzi to sit beside her.

"Just kidding."

"Just now Hongzi's mother didn't let me come over, was it because of the previous disappearance?"

Hongzi waited for Sogu to go to the kitchen to put down the watermelon, and then returned to the living room before replying, "Because Mom is worried that Sogu will take me to a dangerous place."

"It won't happen." Kirino Akane was half comforting, half defending Soya, "Isn't the previous incident also an accident?"

"Yes." Sogu said suddenly.

Hongzi glanced at him, then at Akane Kirino, "Look."

"Don't talk." Akane Kirino glared at Soya, as if he was trying to find fault.

He didn't speak, just smiled.

"Did the police stay at Hongzi's house for a long time yesterday?"

"From eight or nine in the morning to three or four in the afternoon." Hongzi replied, "Because I still couldn't believe what I said. I asked the same question over and over again, and deliberately used wrong information to test me. My head hurts."

Akane Kirino expressed her understanding: "After all, it's hard for ordinary people to believe such a thing as falling into hell."

"In the end, I couldn't take it anymore, so I said that Soya lured me into the deep mountains and deliberately hid me for a few days before I came out. Soya also taught me the idea of ​​falling into the underworld."

"Eh?"

Akane Kirino was stunned.

"Don't be kidding." Sogu glanced over.

Hongzi smiled at Akane Kirino, then looked at him again, "Soya went to the shrine yesterday to look for Sugawara-senpai."

"Ah."

"Did you say anything?"

"All that needs to be said."

Hongzi stared at him closely, "Where is senior sister, what did she say?"

"Jingzi said he regretted not strangling Hongzi earlier."

"Hey—" Akane Kirino was shocked.

Hongzi directly stretched his legs and kicked over, "I'm not kidding you."

Zongya didn't hide, she didn't have much strength anyway.

"Failed."

"Eh...ha, you deserve it."

Looking at his appearance, Hongzi knew that he hadn't given up yet, so he mocked mercilessly at this moment.

Akane Kirino looked at the two of them, "I can't understand what Soya and Hongzi are talking about."

As soon as Sogu opened his mouth, Hongzi got up and hugged her, and cast a warning look at him again.

He didn't intend to tell Akane Kirino the truth now, so he just shut up.

"Hongzi?" Akane Kirino looked up at her.

"Don't worry about it." Hongzi let go of her, "It's nothing important."

"yes……"

After sitting for a while, Akane Kirino remembered something: "Soya came out so soon, is the watermelon iced?"

"No."

"Really..."

She got up and left the living room.

Hongzi turned to look at him, "Sogu really told senior sister?"

Soya sighed, "What are you doing lying to you?"

"Why didn't she strangle you?"

"I also want to be strangled to death by Jingzi."

"..."

After looking at him for a while, Hongzi asked, "How did senior sister react, are you going to break up with Soya?"

Zong Gu looked at her and said nothing.

"say something."

"It's almost like this, but it's not to the point of breaking up. Anyway, it's not very happy."

"You seem to be deluding yourself."

"It's almost the same as Hongzi before."

She swung a punch, but he raised his hand to block it, and the mutual harm between the two ended here.

"Qian is coming back." Hongzi pulled out her hand and shook it again.

A few seconds later, Akane Kirino returned to the living room, "The watermelon brought by Hongzi is really big, it must be very laborious to carry it."

"The arm is almost broken."

"Fortunately, it's not too hot today."

The morning time passed quickly, and Hongzi pulled her away with the excuse of "I just went out after a long time", so Soya didn't go out.

After lunch, the weather was not too hot because of the rain, so the three of them stayed in the living room downstairs.

"Do you want some watermelon?"

"Didn't you just have lunch?"

Kirino Akane was lying on the floor, "Well... let's talk about it later."

Soya sat up, "If you want to eat, I'll cut some slices."

"Forget it." She pulled him back, "I want to sleep for a while, and then eat when I wake up. Sogu is not allowed to steal."

He ignored her and lay down next to her, while Hongzi lay on the other side.

Akane Kirino turned her head to look at him for a while, then raised her body slightly, and smiled at Hongzi on the other side.

The three of them lay together, and the electric fan at their feet swayed from side to side.

Qian: "Obviously the summer vacation is coming to an end..."

Hongzi: "There's nothing else to do."

Qian: "I'm already looking forward to the winter vacation."

Soya: "Why don't you look forward to the school festival in October first."

Qian: "Ah!"

Akane: "I'm already looking forward to it! At the school festival, shall we do something?"

Soya: "You can conceive now, Minister Kirino."

Qian: "I have to think about it..."

Hongzi: "Make a popular science magazine about spirituality? Just enough to organize the events we encountered into an episode."

Sissy: "Not bad."

Although full of expectations, after all, they were tired in the afternoon, and after more than half an hour, the three of them fell asleep one after another.

No one disturbed her, and Akane Kirino didn't wake up until nearly 02:30.

Turning his head, Sogu bowed towards her side, Hongzi curled up behind him, with his hands on his waist, both of them were still in a deep sleep.

Looking at his face, she moved forward and stopped again.

"..."

Is it a dream?
Akane Kirino pinched herself quietly.

A little pain, not a dream.

She also realized what she was doing.

Do you want to kiss... or do you want to kiss him?

She thought again of the unanswered question.

"..."

Akane Kirino was stunned for a while, and instead of continuing to approach, she raised her hand and touched it lightly.

warm.soft.

his lips.

Amidst the chirping of cicadas, the sound of a motorcycle suddenly sounded outside.

Postman?

Kirino Akane was familiar with this voice, and the image of the middle-aged postman riding a scooter also appeared in his mind.

She sat up and listened carefully to the movement outside, and sure enough, she heard the sound of the mailbox lid being opened and closed again.

Whose letter is it?
Akane Kirino sat up slowly, and went outside without disturbing the two who were still asleep.

The postman on a motorcycle disappeared at the end of the alley. She opened the painted mailbox and found several postcards inside.

"Ah...ah!"

Looking at her signature, she immediately remembered, "Postcard from the ferry from Shimabara to Kumamoto!"

For mom and dad, for Soya, Hongzi and Ling, she filled in the address of her old house.

"It's so slow. It's been a month. Could it be that the mailbox on the ship was full and they were sent together?"

She flipped through it, and although it was all written by herself a month ago, she still stood at the entrance of the yard and read it.

"For Soya...'Qiang Qiang——I wrote a postcard for Soya too, was it a surprise?'...Wow, how silly."

Akane Kirino couldn't help laughing.

"Well……"

In the living room, Hongzi also slowly woke up from a lethargic sleep.

Realizing that she was hugging Soya's waist, she first hugged him tightly to get closer to him, and then suddenly regained her senses.

"..."

After waiting with a stiff body for a while, she slowly raised her head, only to realize that Akane Kirino was not in the living room.

"Is Xi not here..."

Hongzi sat up, glanced at Sogu who was still asleep, got up and went to the kitchen to have a look.

The watermelon was soaked in ice water, intact, and Akane Kirino was not here.

"Cy—"

He yelled twice, but there was no response from upstairs or the bathroom, and Hongzi went back to the living room.

"Are you home... Ah, you're awake."

Sogu looked sleepy, glanced at her, and crossed his arms to cover his eyes.

"What's wrong……"

"Cyce seems to be home."

"Hmm." Awakened by such a trivial matter, Soya closed his mouth before showing his unhappiness.

Hongzi went over and sat down beside him.

"Haven't you had enough sleep yet?" She stroked his face, then looked at the clock on the wall, "It's already 02:30."

"Really...let me slow down for a while."

Soya said, but the drowsiness was irretrievable.

He lowered his arms and looked at her.

"What are you doing..."

"I'm just thinking about how to get revenge on you."

"what."

Hongzi rolled over and sat on his waist, pressed his hands, and looked at him from above, "Because I woke up Sogu?"

"Ah."

"It's stingy."

"I thought of it: at two o'clock tonight, I will call Hongzi."

"How can there be such a stingy man like you!"

She leaned down and bumped his head with her head.

"pain……"

Her foreheads were pressed together, her eyes met, and her glasses slid down.

After looking at the glasses frame, she looked up at him again.

"I want to kiss."

Soya raised his hand to support her waist.

"Well……"

After kissing for a while, Hongzi sat up straight, ready to take off the glasses that got in the way.

"..."

Akane Kirino stood in the yard, holding a postcard in her hand, with a frozen smile on her face.

There was a loud bang in his mind, and Hongzi opened his mouth.

"Xi..."

Driven by her legs in daze and shock, Akane Kirino subconsciously wanted to escape, so she turned and ran.

what……

What was that just now...

Hongzi and Soya...are they kissing?

Why kiss?

Just pretending to like it, will you do this...

There was the whistling wind in my ears, and my mind was in chaos.Stumbling, she kept running forward until she ran home and hid in her room.

Leaning her back against the door, Akane Kirino couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

"Well……"

The chest was dull and painful, as if a heavy boulder was pressing on the outside, making her breathless, and there was a sharp awl in the chest, which was hard against the boulder, almost piercing her.

Hongzi likes Soya, and he is serious.

Kirino Akane finally understood the answer to that question.

She lowered her head, holding the postcard she hadn't had time to hand over to them.

The top one is for Hongzi.

pat.

clap clap-

Tears slid down one after another, hit the postcard, and wet the handwriting.

【Leaving Shimabara by ferry!
The next stop is Kumamoto, where you can see Minister Kumamon!
I've visited a lot of places in the past two days, but I still feel like I haven't done enough. It would be great if I had more time...

Ah, Soya bought bread and said he was going to feed the seagulls on the deck.

I haven't fed seagulls yet, it looks so big, it's a little scared, it shouldn't bite people, right?

Ah, Soya is urging again, so that's all for writing, looking forward to the next postcard.

(It was obviously sent to Hongzi, but it was written like a diary, sorry. But Hongzi will definitely not care, because we will always be best friends~)]

"I... like Soya."
