Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 398 Cross-lake Aid
Although the backlash of divine power would bring great pain like a needle prick, fortunately it did not leave any sequelae.When he woke up the next morning, Soya was still alive and well, and went to school as usual.

In the lively calm, time also flies by.

Another week passed, and it was early October.

The end of the half week inherited from September, and the beginning of a new week also means that the school festival is coming, and the atmosphere of celebration in the school has become more and more intense.

"Good morning~"

"Good morning!"

Climb up the long steps and walk into the school amidst the welcome of several student council members. Seeing Asaka Shiina carrying something in front of her, Akane Kirino quickened her pace and followed.

"Shiina, let me get it for you."

"Xi..."

Asaka Shiina turned her head to take a look, and then looked behind, and the three of Soya were indeed following behind.

"Thank you."

After taking one of the paper bags, Kirino Akane looked down a few times.

"Are these decorations and props for setting up the cafe?"

"Yes. It's the last few days before the school festival, so I think I should get ready."

"That's right. Did Shiina choose these by herself? They look pretty good."

"Uh-huh."

On the last day before the school festival, there is only half a day of classes, and the afternoon is used to decorate classrooms or club rooms.The props and decorations used for the layout are basically made in the last week.

"Is the manpower assigned? I can come and help."

"Akane, you're from class B...you haven't started to do anything in your class, have you?"

"what."

When they came to the fourth floor, the back door of the classroom opened, Soya took what was in Akane Kirino's hand, and helped to take it to the back of the classroom.

"Thank you." Asaka Shiina put another bag beside her, "Have you tried Soya-san's deacon uniform?"

"Tried it."

When school was over last Friday, Shiina Asaka had other things to do, so he went to the custom clothing store in Otsukyo Station Mall to get the deacon uniform.

"Is there no problem?"

"It fits perfectly."

"That's good."

Nothing special happened in the morning and afternoon.

At the evening class meeting, Makoto Shibazaki randomly called a few boys and girls to help make props and decorate the classroom.

"Find someone... Yoshikawa, you too can help."

"Ah. All right."

Hongzi responded, and immediately poked Zongya's back after lying down: "Quickly, tell Ah Cheng that you also want to stay."

"If you want to help, just stay here, what else can you say?"

"If there is no restraint, you must turn around and go to the shrine to find Miss Sugawara."

Zong Gu looked back at her, "Ah Cheng's words are no restraint..."

Shibazaki Makoto on the stage noticed the movement here, but didn't care, and confessed the last thing.

"Be careful when making props, especially when using tools such as scissors or paper cutters. Also, clean up the ground before going back. Noma-sensei, do you have anything else to say?"

Noma Minami who was standing by the window turned around and shook his head again.

"so be it."

When the teacher announced that the get out of class was over, the number of students in the classroom dropped by half.

Asaka Shiina called the students who had just been called to the back of the classroom and assigned tasks.Hongzi was close, so he sat in his seat and listened.

"--Are you OK?"

When she turned around, it was Noma Minami who came to look for Soya.

"I want to stay and help." Soya said.

Minami Noma folded her arms, "It seems that I didn't call your name just now."

"I voluntarily."

"Then I need help with something now, will you volunteer?"

"..."

Soya smiled at the pouting Hongzi, and then asked, "What's the matter?"

"There is a little bit of trouble in Nagahama City, and the people there can't solve it. Please let me go there."

"Nagahama City... so far away."

"Is it far?" Noma Minami turned his head and looked into the distance. The weather was clear, the lake was blue, and the opposite bank was faintly visible. "You can see it from here."

"..."

Nagahama City is located on the east side of Lake Biwa, across the lake from Takayama Town, where Danhai High School is located, and it is indeed not too far in a straight-line distance.

The problem is, he can't fly there either.

"If you want to come back early, you should leave early."

"I haven't agreed yet."

"My name is Kyoko too."

"..."

Soya began to pack his schoolbag, and said to Minami Noma: "Mr. Noma, go down first, I will come down later."

"Then I'll wait for you in the parking lot."

Minami Noma left the classroom, Hongzi turned her head to look at Asaka Shiina who was distributing props, and then looked at Soya after a while, and he was also looking at her.

"what."

He smiled, "I will stay with you tomorrow."

"It will be finished tomorrow."

"I don't believe you guys can be this efficient."

"If so."

"Isn't everyone happy?"

Hongzi rolled her eyes, "Go as soon as you want, there's so much nonsense."

Holding her hand and pinching it twice, Soya put the schoolbag on her desk, "By the way, help me take this home."

"Got it." She hung their schoolbags together.

When I came to the parking lot, I found the red sports car, and only Minami Noma was sitting in it.

"Get in the car."

Soya got into the car, she started the car, and slowly backed out of the parking space.

"Where's Kyoko?"

"I forgot to say hello. She has already gone back first. Fortunately, she didn't go far. Now go to the station to pick her up."

After going down the mountain and near the station, Soya soon saw Kyoko standing alone by the roadside.

"..."

Seeing Soya in the back seat, she opened the front door again, and was about to sit in the passenger seat.

"You sit in the back." Minami Noma said, "I have to bring a colleague with me later, I have something to talk to her about."

Kyoko returned to the back seat and sat with Soya.

"Seat belt." He leaned closer.

"I will do it myself."

Soya still buckled up the seat belt for her before sitting back.

Looking at the rearview mirror, Noma Minami merged into the main driveway again, crossed the bridge hole and turned north.

"What happened to Changbin?" Kyoko asked.

"It's not a big deal. The evil spirits are making trouble. It's just that the spiritual sense people who can deal with it in the local area have been dispatched to other places in the past few days."

The road was smooth, and the speed gradually increased.

Noma Minami looked ahead and grasped the steering wheel: "You should also know the recent events, except for Kinki, there are women of the underworld searching for something, which made some spirits highly nervous, and they mutated when they were nervous.

There is nothing wrong with Kinki, but a lot of idle people have been transferred to Gifu, Aichi and other places nearby to solve the trouble... I don't know how long this state will last. "

Soya and Kyoko looked at each other.

Long before, the two had the same guess about the change of the daughter of Huangquan, and they both felt that it would not be a matter of a day or two.

"I didn't bring a weapon," Soya said again.

Since you want to deal with evil spirits, you have to make some preparations.

Noma Minami didn't care, "When we get to Nagahama, just go to the local shrine to borrow some."

"Ok."

"Speaking of which, has there been any investigation by the Divine Affairs Division recently?"

"I don't know." Soya shook his head, "They only occasionally ask me some questions, and never take the initiative to disclose the results of the investigation to me."

"It's such an easy salary to get."

"Noma-sensei can also tell Section Chief Water Flow that you have seen Izanami-sama before. Anyway, no one has seen her, so you can make up whatever you want."

"Forget it, I want to live a few more years."

Minami Noma glanced at him in the rearview mirror, "It's fine if it's someone else, but I dare not talk nonsense about the only living god."

Soya smiled and said nothing more.

Leaning back on the chair, looking at the lake light outside the window, he held Jingzi's hand again.

"..."

She struggled a little, and then he held her.

Caressing the smooth back of his hand with his fingertips, he slowly squeezed her palm away, stretched his fingers, and clasped her fingers.

Couple's grip.

Deep in his broad palm, Kyoko looked out the window, silent.

It's been over a month...

Walking all the way along the lake, after more than an hour, the three finally came to the other side of Lake Biwa and arrived in Nagahama City smoothly.

While slowing down, Minami Noma glanced at the rearview mirror of the car. Kyoko leaned on Soya's shoulder, eyes slightly closed.

"We have arrived."

She opened her eyes and immediately sat up straight.

Soya yawned, looking away from her face to the window.

"Where is this?"

"Nagahama City."

"Say something useful."

"Respect seniors." Minami Noma turned his head and glared at him, "This is the Chuannan Shrine, get out of the car."

The so-called another colleague who wanted a ride never showed up.

The three got out of the car and left the parking lot.

Looking at the stone tablet with [Chuannan Shrine] at the intersection, Soya thought for a while, and vaguely remembered that he seemed to have solved some troubles for them, but he couldn't remember exactly when.

Pass through the torii and enter the shrine, and a priestess comes to greet you.

"Leader Nan, long time no see. This time I really trouble you."

"Long time no see, Hexi."

After saying hello, she introduced the two helpers she had brought with her.

"Kyoko, you should know him. The one next to him is the general of the first team of the special operations team of the headquarters."

"... Please give me more advice."

"Really?" Miss He Xi was very happy about this, "I'm much more at ease now."

After she explained it again, the three of them realized that the actual situation was more complicated than what they had known before.

"...Yes, there is more than one spirit body making trouble, or in other words, a group of about ten spirit bodies, all of which have now been driven to the back mountain.

Team Leader Nan said that he would bring the strongest combat power. I thought it meant that all the psychics from your company would come... But with Mr. Soya from the special operations team, it must be no problem. "

"It's really not a problem." Minami Noma said, "But according to Hexi, the bigger problem now seems to be how to catch them all."

"Mr. Soya..."

"No matter how powerful he is, he is still human. If the group of evil spirits scattered and fled, he would not be able to kill them all in an instant. If they scattered and escaped from the back mountain, it would be troublesome to hunt them down again."

Sogu said at this time: "How many spiritual senses can be mobilized nearby?"

"There are only four witches from our Chuannan Shrine." Miss Hexi said.

"How big is the back mountain?" He asked again.

Miko roughly described it.

"In this case……"

Zong Gu thought for a few seconds, "Then please go up the mountain from the other side, and encircle and drive the group of evil spirits to my side, and I will deal with it alone."

Minami Noma looked at him, "No problem?"

"The only problem is that you may not be able to kill them, and there will be omissions. Self-protection is not a problem."

"If that's the case, let Kyoko and Soya go together to stop the killing."

Jingzi nodded, she planned to stay on the front side and deal with the evil spirit together with him.

Zongya also had no objection, he felt more at ease with Kyoko on his side.

"Then let's hurry up and organize actions while it's still dark."

When he learned that there was a real sword in the warehouse of Kawakusu Shrine, Soya asked for the weapon.Compared with bamboo knives, the feel of real knives is more suitable for him.

As for Kyoko, Minami Noma brought her Demon-Breaking Bow with her when she came from the shrine.

Come to the bottom of the hill near the shrine and meet the maidens who stayed here. Soya and Kyoko went up the mountain in front, while Noma Minami and the four priestesses from Kawakusu Shrine went around the back of the mountain.

"You two have to be careful." Although he had full confidence in the two of them, Noma Minami still confessed one more sentence.

"Got it. So does the teacher."

Watching several witches disappear down the path, Soya looked at Kyoko, "Let's go a little deeper."

"Ah."

The back mountain is a bamboo forest, green and verdant, and the part near the top of the mountain has been dyed golden sunlight.

Walking into the bamboo forest, Soya chose a fairly flat place, pulled out his samurai sword, and tested the edge of the blade with the surrounding bamboo.

"Fortunately, there are some relatively thin Hsinchu here."

He cut a circle around, and the bamboo fell down, and the surrounding became much more open, which was convenient for him to swing the knife.

Kyoko looked at the bamboo on the ground, Soya said: "I asked, this mountain is the property of Chuan Kusu Shrine. I don't think they will care if they just cut a few bamboos."

"Ah."

Seeing the demon-breaking bow and quiver on her back, Soya picked out the bamboo on the ground for a while, then chose one of them, cut off the hardest and straightest part with a samurai sword, and left the handle, The rest is broken open, scraped, and hacked into a simple bamboo knife.

"..."

After receiving the bamboo knife, Kyoko waved it twice.

"How does it feel?"

"Fortunately."

Although I don't use a lot of knives at ordinary times, if it's just for self-defense, it's not a big problem.

"Do you like me more?"

"..."

Kyoko glanced at him, then turned her head away before smiling.

"Although I won't let them get close to Kyoko, it's better to be prepared."

"Ah."

"Kyoko doesn't care about me for a while, just shoot the arrow, I will avoid it."

"I have it in my mind."

Soya nodded, and then began to look at the environment in front of him, anticipating what places to pay attention to and what places to use when the battle happens.

Holding the bamboo knife, Jingzi was also looking at the dense bamboo forest, but his eyes slowly shifted to him.

"Student Fang Ming."

"Yeah." He turned around.

"I have an idea."

On the other side, Noma Nan followed Hexi and the others to the other side of the back mountain.

"How did these evil spirits gather together?"

"I don't know, they should all escape from other places."

"Well, was she also scared by the daughter of Huang Quan?"

"Team Leader Nan, you have been to Deqin at the headquarters, do you know what's going on recently?" He Xi asked.

"It is said that it is the daughter of the underworld sent by Lord Izanami, but I don't know exactly what it is for... This road is really difficult."

The five witches followed the mountain road up to the middle of the mountain, and then dispersed to the left and right under the command of Noma Minami, keeping a distance of tens of meters from each other.

"Fortunately, it's just a small hill..."

Minami Noma grasped the bamboo, panting a bit.

After climbing another section, Hexi not far away shouted loudly: "Team Leader Nan, we are just ahead!"

A dozen or so evil spirits on the mountain heard the movement and looked down, only to find that the witches blocking the way had taken the initiative to kill them.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
A few magic-breaking arrows flew out of the bamboo forest, followed by another wave.Although it is sparse, it shows that the back of the mountain has been surrounded, and there is no way to escape here.

So the evil spirits fled towards the front of the mountain.

Don't be afraid of bumping and falling, going down the mountain is much easier than going up.Flying down, the [-]-meter-high hillside quickly bottomed out and reached the mountain pass.

There are two people guarding the bottom, their faces are too young, and one of them is even an ordinary person.

It is worth noting that the girl standing behind has already raised the bow in her hand.

Whoosh!
An arrow missed, and it deviated extremely far, and the evil spirits became even more aggressive, and they rushed down without avoiding.

20 meters, ten meters.

Already able to clearly see the face of the evil spirit rushing forward, Kyoko nocked another arrow and issued a reminder at the same time.

"coming."

Whoosh!
An arrow pierced the skull, and the running evil spirit staggered to the ground, followed by another arrow.

Whoosh!
Another evil spirit fell.

Before they had time to be surprised, they discovered that the colorless ordinary person in their eyes had suddenly taken on a different color.

The color of the psychic.

"The number is really quite a lot..."

Soya raised his knife, "No wonder we need to find foreign aid."

Realizing that something was wrong, the evil spirits only thought of running away at this time, but it was too late.

too close.

With a flash of cold light, Zonggu ran into the flock of sheep like a tiger, swung his knife and slashed, and cut down three evil spirits in the blink of an eye.

Whoosh!
An arrow flew in, flew past him, and hit the spirit body that turned around at the end of the team and tried to escape.

With another slash, Zonggu increased his speed and rushed towards another evil spirit.

He rushed down aggressively, and in the blink of an eye, the rest of the evil spirits scattered and fled for their lives.

Of course Zongya would not give them a chance to escape, so he raised his sword and went up, chasing and slashing.

Whoosh!
Jingzi kept shooting arrows, aiming at every evil spirit that fled away.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, one of the evil spirits suddenly turned around and ran towards her with a hideous face.

The witch's expression remained unchanged, and she reached for the quiver, but it was already empty.

"..."

Throwing the bow away, she pulled out the bamboo knife stuck in the ground and greeted him calmly.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, a cold light suddenly flashed in the orange setting sun, the head flew up, and the evil spirit fell down, revealing Zong Gu behind him.

Looking behind him, all the evil spirits have been wiped out.

Putting the samurai sword on the ground with his backhand, he strode over, "It's all right."

"Ah."

He didn't stop until he was in front of her. Jingzi took a step back and leaned against a thick bamboo.

"The matter has been resolved, Ms. Noma and the others are probably still on the mountain."

Soya lowered his head, "Before they come over, I want to make out with Kyoko for a while."

"No... no."

Covered in warmth, she closed her eyes and dropped the bamboo knife in her hand.
