Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 387
The next morning, when the alarm clock rang for the second time, Akane Kirino woke up.

"Almost overslept..."

In fact, it is still very early.

It's just that recently, in order to avoid Soya and Hongzi, she has to get up earlier to go to school, so as not to run into them on the tram.

Picking up the phone that was thrown at the end of the bed, there were indeed several more unread messages.

She didn't click in, got up and got out of bed.

After washing up, he walked into the kitchen, but he didn't see the prepared breakfast on the dining table.

"Mom, why didn't you prepare breakfast today?"

"Who can stand getting up so early every day."

Kirino Keiko was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed, "Don't bother me, go find Soya, he said he will cook you breakfast for the rest of his life."

"Mother--"

Kirino Keiko turned over, her arms dropped to the side of the bed, and when she picked it up again, there was an extra slipper in her hand.

"..."

Akane Kirino immediately exited her parents' bedroom and closed the door.

"never mind."

Leaving home, she went to the intersection below and looked at the conspicuous old Japanese house. Akane Kirino didn't stay for long and went straight to the station.

She won't go there, so she can only go to the convenience store at the station to buy a sandwich and make up for it.

Fortunately, the bento at noon was ready last night.

Missing the first alarm clock, she slept 10 minutes more than yesterday, but because she didn't have breakfast at home, the time to go out was not much different from yesterday.

She decided to settle for breakfast while waiting for the bus.

When she came to the station and walked into the convenience store, she searched for it for a while.

"Ah, are there any more rice balls?"

In the past, she either had breakfast at home or went to the old house. It had been a long time since she walked into a convenience store in the morning to fill her stomach.

After buying a sandwich and a bottle of water, Akane Kirino held it in her hand, and was going to sit on the bench on the platform and eat.

"..."

After passing the turnstile and walking onto the platform, she saw Hongzi sitting there, and Hongzi who was biting a sandwich also saw her at the same time.

Looking at each other, they were both speechless.

why?
Shouldn't Hongzi have breakfast with Soya in the old house, and then go to school together?
Akane Kirino stood where she was, not taking a half step closer.

"Cough cough!"

Hongzi still had the sandwich in her mouth, and in a daze, she choked on herself before swallowing.

Akane Kirino also came back to her senses, turned around and was about to leave.

"Cy!...cough cough!"

Hongzi immediately stood up, coughing and shouting, but choked even more.

She wanted to get the water on the bench, but she couldn't catch it because of coughing. The bottle fell to the ground and rolled three to five meters, and the water in it also flowed all over the floor.

"..."

What a clumsy one!
Seeing Hongzi who was holding on to the bench and coughing constantly, Akane Kirino stomped her feet, turned around and walked over.

After receiving the water from which the lid had been opened, Hongzi took two sips before letting out a long sigh of relief.

"thanks……"

Akane Kirino didn't make a sound, sat down beside her, opened her sandwich and ate it.

Looking at her profile, and at the water in her hand, Hongzi got up and walked towards the exit.

"I'm going to buy another bottle... ah."

Akane Kirino grabbed her wrist, "No need."

As she spoke, she picked up the bottle of water she had just opened and took a sip.

She let go of her wrist, Hongzi stood for a while, and then sat down beside her.

Kirino Akane continued to eat the sandwich, finished the whole thing, took another sip of water, and then spoke.

"What is Hongzi doing at school so early?"

Hongzi swallowed the food in his mouth, "There is something..."

"What's the matter?" Akane Kirino turned to look at her.

Hongzi was silent for a while, but chose to tell the truth.

"I don't want to go to school with Soya."

"why?"

"Because I was worried that Akane would see me."

"..."

She has already seen what she should see and what she shouldn't see, so what's the point of covering it up now?
Akane Kirino moved her eyes, then looked away, "What does it have to do with me?"

Hongzi looked at her: "Then why hasn't Qian refused to see me and Zonggu for so many days, and didn't reply to the message."

"It's the menstrual period, and I'm in a bad mood." She turned her head and wanted to say "it's nothing to do with Hongzi", but she couldn't say it.

"Just like that?"

Hongzi didn't feel like eating any more, so he crumpled up the remaining half of the sandwich and threw it into the trash can.

"It's just that." Akane Kirino was still stubborn.

"Are you feeling better now?"

"No."

Hongzi looked at her profile, "Then are we still friends?"

"..."

Akane Kirino pursed her lower lip, looked to the side and did not speak.

In silence, the tram finally pulled into the station.

The two got into the car together. At this time, there were not many people on the car, and there were still many empty seats.

Akane Kirino sat down nearby, and Hongzi sat beside her.

"Soya said that he wants to talk to Akane about the school festival."

"He told me yesterday."

"Do you want to talk?"

"casual."

"Then let's wait until Soya comes to school."

Akane Kirino nodded slightly.

All the way silent, transfer to Yamashina Station, the two sat together again, until the school.

When climbing the long stairs in front of the school, although Kirino Akane didn't pull her as usual, she also deliberately slowed down her pace.

The two separated at the back door of the classroom.

When she got to the seat, Hongzi hung up her schoolbag casually, and then lay down on the desk.

"Finally able to talk again..."

Although neither of them said a word about the core of the problem, it was much better than the state of never getting a response.

She lay prone on the table until Soya and Asagiri also came to the school.

He sat down in the front seat and looked back at her hand outstretched on the table, "I thought you would come over in the morning, and you have been waiting at home for a long time."

"Really?"

"Hmm...at least 5 minutes."

Hongzi rolled his eyes, but then couldn't help but think of the kitchen of Tongye's old house, and the various breakfasts he prepared in the past.

I'm so hungry... I really want to eat.

Only ate half of the sandwich and it wasn't enough after all.

Zong Gu glanced at her, "You seem to want to eat me."

Hongzi was weak, "Is it okay?"

He stretched out his arm and brought his wrist to her mouth.

"fool……"

She laughed and pushed him again.

Zong Gu was about to turn around when she grabbed him again.

"I came here with Sis this morning."

"……real?"

"I met you at the station."

He looked at her for a while, "Did you say something?"

"Akane said that she ignored Soya and me during this time because she was in a bad mood."

"That seems like nonsense."

"The reason for the bad mood is the menstrual period."

"Hmm... have you avoided it?"

They also didn't mention core yesterday.

"Akane promised to discuss the school festival with me and Soya." Hongzi said again.

"Ah."

"What is Soya going to do?"

Soya glanced at her, "Just like what we said now, first discuss the arrangement of the school festival, and then slowly find an opportunity to talk."

Hongzi raised his head, looked at him for a while, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know why Soya is still so calm...I'm so anxious."

Soya put his arms across her desk and stretched his hands forward, "Let me feel it."

"……satyr!"

She kicked him and pushed his arm down.

"Haste makes waste. If you are too anxious, you will only scare the snake." Sogu put his arms up again, but this time to support his head, "I want everything about her. This time, I won't let her She escaped."

Hongzi looked at him, then lowered his head again.

"The future of Qian and I rests on you."

"It's so heavy."

"Even if it wants to crush you to death, you still have to bear it. You asked for it."

"Of course, a different person like me needs to bear more responsibilities."

She raised her eyes, his face was calm, but the flame of desire was burning in his eyes.

"So, I deserve more, too."

Hongzi looked at him, speechless for a while.

"—Soya-san, do you have time?"

Soya turned his head, it was Asaka Shiina.

"what's up?"

"I want to discuss with you the arrangements for the days of the school festival."

"it is good."

Soya turned around, and Hongzi lay down on the table again, looking at him and Asaka Shiina.

The demon king from hell is talking to an ignorant human being...

Her daydreams were soon interrupted by hunger.

so hungry...

At the morning class meeting, Makoto Shibazaki got the preliminary arrangement of the Deacon Cafe for the school festival from Shiina Asaka, and mobilized the students below.

"Students who are confident in their own cooking can go to Shiina-san to sign up..."

He glanced down, "Well, we need two cooks. In addition, we need two classmates to serve as baristas, and one classmate is in charge of the cash register..."

Hongzi poked Soya's back.

"Go and tell Shiina to arrange a job that is close to you with more money and less trouble."

"I'm dreaming."

After explaining a few other things, Makoto Shibazaki left the classroom, and the morning class began.

The first class was English, followed by physics. After two classes, as the bell rang, Soya stood up together with other students.

"stand up--"

"salute--"

He bowed, got up, and before he sat down, he felt the head of the back seat hit his back.

"Hey……"

Before the words fell, she pushed forward again, and then the whole person fell down.

"Hongzi...Hongzi?"

Zongya supported her, suddenly tensed up.

Could it be that the power of the underworld is exhausted?
she murmured.

"What?" He lowered his head.

"Very hungry... dizzy..."

"..."

Zonggu pursed his lips, heaving a sigh of relief.

Lifting the schoolbag and hanging it on his shoulder, he carried her on his back and walked outside the classroom.

"Kinoshita, I'll take Yoshikawa to the health care room. If the teacher asks, remember to say it for me."

"Ah, good." The chairman who was looking at his sister was stunned, and then agreed.

With Hongzi on his back, Soya just stepped out of the classroom when Akane Kirino's voice came from behind: "What's wrong with Hongzi?"

When he turned his head, she noticed the schoolbag on his shoulder again.

"Are you going back?"

"No, Hongzi is dizzy, I'll take her to the health room... Hurry up, if you fall, just lie down here."

"Well……"

Hongzi buried her head and didn't move, Sogu pushed her up again.

"Do you want to come over?"

Seeing Akane Kirino was silent, he turned around and went down without saying much.

After hesitating for a while, she also followed.

Passing through the atrium and coming to the health care room on the ground floor of the special building, the health care teacher Chiaki Tsukishima looked up, and then his eyes fell on Hong Zi behind Soya: "What's wrong?"

"Didn't eat breakfast, fainted from hunger."

"Ah, are you losing weight?"

"Yeah, it's deadly heavy."

"..."

In a daze, Hongzi gathered all her strength and bit his shoulder.

"Looks like she's still awake. Put it on the bed over there first."

"Ok."

Putting Hongzi on the bed, Soya wiped the drool on his shoulders, and took out a bento from his schoolbag.

"Let's eat a little bit to pad your stomach...don't finish it all, this is my lunch."

"Um……"

Tsukishima Chiaki came over and checked briefly, and after confirming that there was no problem, she looked at another female student.

"So, what's wrong with you?"

Akane Kirino shook her head subconsciously, and Soya looked over, "Teacher, she came here with me."

"yes."

Tsukishima Chiaki nodded, returned to the desk, picked up her things and prepared to go out.

"Then let her have a good rest here. If you two, you have to go back to class later—and, in principle, you can't eat bento here. Remember to clean up after eating."

"I understand."

After the health care teacher left, Akane Kirino walked over and sat on the empty bed next to her.

"Haven't you had breakfast these days?"

Soya was standing on the other side, with a bento box in his hand, across the bed from her.

"No." Hongzi held his lunch box, "It's just that I ate a little less this morning."

"It's about losing weight."

"Go to hell."

"It's almost two more bites."

"I'm still very hungry!"

Akane Kirino wanted to laugh, but quickly restrained herself.

"give me."

She stretched out her hand, Sogu looked up and handed over the bento.

"Go back."

She didn't even look at him, took the lunch box, and sat down beside Hongzi's bed, "It's fine if I'm here."

Sogu raised his eyebrows, looked at Hongzi, she nodded to him.

"Then I'll go up first."

"Ah."

After passing through the atrium and just returning to the main building, the preparation bell rang.

Soya quickened his pace, stopped when he returned to the back door of the classroom, and went to the next-door Class B to explain to the chairperson Akane Kirino's whereabouts.

No matter how hastily seated, the teacher has already walked into the classroom.

"……Class begins."

Hearing the faint bell ringing again, Hongzi put down the lunch box in his hand.

"Ah."

Akane Kirino held the bento and used her hands as a tray.

"Just put it on the quilt."

"I don't know how many people have slept on this bed, it's so dirty."

"Qi...I'm still sitting under the covers."

Akane Kirino finally smiled, and quickly restrained herself.

"I'll just take it."

"Ok."

After eating a few more mouthfuls of rice, seeing Akane Kirino staring down at the food in the bento box, Hongzi remembered that she only ate a sandwich in the morning.

"Cyce, eat some too."

She recovered and shook her head, "Don't eat."

"I can't eat that much by myself."

Akane Kirino looked down at the bento in her hand.

He specifically emphasized just now that this is his lunch.

Still, there's a lot left here...

Hongzi picked up an egg roll, "Would you like an egg roll?"

"Myself……"

The egg roll has been fed to the mouth.

"..."

After looking at her, Akane Kirino opened her mouth to take it.

"what about the taste."

"ordinary."

"Would you like another piece?"

"want."

The two of them didn't eat much in the morning, so they let go of their appetites and quickly forgot Soya's words.

When we were almost full, there was only half a portion of rice left in the bento.

"Oops……"

Hongzi looked down at the bento box, "I forgot it by accident."

Akane Kirino rubbed her belly, but didn't speak.

"It's time to clean up..." Hongzi was about to get out of bed.

"Let me do it."

Kirino Akane packed up the bento box and put the remaining half portion of rice back into Soya's schoolbag.

"Why did you take off your schoolbag?"

"If you take the bento directly at this time, if the teacher sees it, you will definitely be lectured."

After all, the school stipulates that lunch can only be eaten during lunch breaks.

Akane Kirino let out an oh, and hung her schoolbag at the end of the bed.

Silence fell suddenly, and the two of them didn't speak again after eating their bento.

There are still more than 20 minutes until the end of get out of class.

Hongzi leaned against the head of the bed, because of what Akane Kirino said just now, she didn't cover the quilt much, but just put it on a little bit.

Both legs were exposed, and on the left calf, there was a bruise that was not obvious but could not be ignored.

After noticing, Akane Kirino stared at it for a while, and became more and more concerned in the silence.

"Is this also what was left when I fell down in Huangquan?"

"What... this, no."

Hongzi touched his leg, "It's been more than half a month since I fell into the underworld, and the bruises have faded long ago. It's left by accidentally bumping into a table leg a few days ago."

"Oh...so careless."

She lowered her head, "Because I was thinking about Qian."

Akane Kirino glanced at her, trying to pretend she didn't hear, but she still couldn't hold back: "When did it start?"

"what?"

"The matter between Hongzi and Soya."

"..."

Hongzi was silent for a while, then said, "If Akane was asking about my feelings for Soya, then when we first went to Kyoto, I found that I really liked him."

"That night, why didn't Hongzi tell me?"

"Don't tell Qian?" She raised her gaze, "Isn't Qian unwilling to believe it?"

"that is because……"

"——It's because Akane also likes Soya, and I don't want me to really like him."

The silent person became Akane Kirino.

"These days, Qian didn't want to see me and Soya, isn't it because of this?" Hongzi said again.

"..."

Akane Kirino looked up at her for a while, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.

At a certain moment, her expression suddenly dimmed, and her eyes also dropped.

"I don't like him anymore. I'll be angry just because Hongko and Soya have been keeping this from me. I don't like him anymore."

Even with her eyes closed, Hongzi could tell she was lying.

"Stop kidding yourself."

"it is true."

Akane Kirino lowered her eyes, "What I like is the Soya who is honest with me, not the person who is full of lies now."

But yourself, aren't you lying now?

Hongzi took a deep breath, looked over her drooping head, and looked out of the window.

During class time, there was silence in the atrium.

She was finally convinced that the inseparable love and friendship between the three were intertwined into the current situation, and he really had no better way.

"Cy."

Akane Kirino raised her head.

"Do you still think I'm your best friend?"

"……Yes."

Hongzi reached out and held her hand together.

"I think so too."

Then sink into the abyss of desire together.

"I don't want to be separated from you."
