Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 4 stay
There was a large amount of hair scattered on the floor, which had not been cleaned.As soon as Soya swiped her foot twice, Kirino Akane returned to the washroom.

She holds a mirror in her hand.

"Look at the back again."

At this time, Soya had short hair, looked at the back of his head which had been double reflected in the mirror, and gave exactly the same evaluation as before.

"really not bad."

Kirino Akane immediately smiled.

"Thank you~"

Her hair-cutting skills weren't great, at least she didn't make his hair unsightly, and that was enough for Soya.

"Let me clean up here."

"is it okay?"

"of course."

"Great, then I'll leave it to Soya-kun."

Soya, who has been taken care of, looks like an overly white high school student, and she unconsciously changed her name.

After cleaning up the broken hair on the floor of the bathroom, when Soya returned to the living room, Kirino Akane who was on the sofa shook her phone at him.

"I found the phone number of the children's welfare home on the Internet."

He was startled, "Really."

"Souya-kun, do you want to contact them now?"

Before he could answer, she handed over the phone.

Soya also took the phone very simply, but didn't dial out immediately.

Since he was emotionally timid, he was also thinking about how he should explain the sudden disappearance that lasted for more than two years. After all, not everyone could accept such grotesque statements.

"Anyway..."

For his hesitation, Akane Kirino can roughly understand, "Let's report safety to the person you care about the most."

"That's right."

He took a deep breath and dialed the phone.

"Hello, this is Sendai Aoba Children's Orphanage."

Familiar name, unfamiliar voice.

Zong Gu thought about it in his mind, and he was sure that he had never heard the voice of the other party. He probably was a newly recruited staff member of the orphanage, so he didn't directly report his name.

"Hello. I'm looking for Miss Tang Tianzi."

"Tianzi Tangerine? We don't have...eh, what...really?...I see."

There seemed to be more than one person on the other end of the phone, who were communicating in low voices.

Soya waited patiently, and waited for a reply after a while.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. Ms. Orange used to be our staff, but she resigned two years ago."

"Resign?"

Soya was startled, and Akane Kirino, who pretended to be looking out the window, also looked directly over.

"why?"

"It seems that because a child in Miss Orange's charge suddenly disappeared, she was very guilty, and disappeared after leaving a letter of resignation."

"..."

Soya fell silent for a moment.

"Sir? Are you still there, sir?"

"……Feel sorry."

He took a breath, "Excuse me, did Miss Orange leave her address or contact information?"

The person who answered the phone relayed the question to the companion beside him, and after getting an answer, passed it on to Soya.

"No."

"I see, thanks."

"If necessary, you can leave your name and contact information, and when we can contact Miss Orange, we will pass it on to her."

Considering that this was Akane Kirino's number, Soya politely declined the other party's offer, and also omitted the need to self-report and explain to another staff member who knew the past.

After hanging up the phone, he realized that the phone wallpaper was a selfie taken by the owner.

The girl in winter uniform had a sweet smile and was very cute. The background was this villa in the snow, but he didn't have the slightest intention to appreciate it now.

Akane Kirino took the phone, "Can't you get in touch?"

"Well... that teacher resigned from the Children's Welfare Institute."

"why?"

Soya didn't know much by himself, and he explained it to her more briefly, and then fell silent after speaking.

The two looked at each other.

After a while, Akane Kirino thought of a more practical question for now:
"Will Sotani-kun go back to the orphanage in Miyagi?"

Soya pulled away from the memory, thought for a moment before saying, "I'm 17 years old now, and I can't go back to the orphanage anymore."

According to the law, one can work after the age of 16, which means that he has met the prerequisite for independent living;
And he has been out of school for more than two years, and he can't pass the high school entrance examination when he goes back, so he has to leave the orphanage.

"so what should I do now?"

"yes……"

Muttering to himself, Soya was also asking questions about his life that had been messed up by accidents.

"What should I do."

Kirino Akane is only 16 years old this year, she is only a middle school student, and she is still confused, far from being able to make suggestions for other people's lives;

But one of the most distinctive characteristics of children of this age is that they rarely realize it by themselves.

"Since that's the case, why don't Soya-kun stay here?"

【"...If you have no other plans."】

The cold wind was blowing, and Soya stood on the street with his arms crossed, looking at the road that was still a little wet after the rain stopped.

"Going to work at an izakaya..."

After spending the first night of escaping from Huangquan in the old house of the Kirino family, most of the new day has passed, and he finds that he has no other choice-now he has nothing, and even borrows his clothes from others.

To survive, accepting her kindness is the best option.

After waiting for a while, the school behind him suddenly became noisy.Not long after, students in uniforms appeared at the school gate one after another.

Zong Gu was tall and thin, and he was very conspicuous in the crowd, not to mention that there were not many people at the school gate at this time.

A series of eyes looked at him, and they basically stayed on his face for a moment before moving away.

He came to wait for someone, even if he was not used to the sight of more and more people, he could only bear it silently.

Fortunately, the person who asked him to wait here appeared soon.

"Hey... Soya!"

He followed the prestige and saw Akane Tongye, who had just walked out of the school gate, squeezed among a group of girls, with surprise and surprise on her face.

"How did you come?"

"..."

Sogu was dumbfounded, and then looked at the girls around her who were staring at him, and quickly understood.

girl...

"want to see you."

"Wow."

The surrounding eyes suddenly focused on Akane Kirino, and two girls even covered their mouths.

"Really."

She complained, but the smile on her face could no longer be suppressed.

"Sorry, Hongzi..." She turned her head to look at a short-haired girl who was no less handsome than her, "I still have something to do, I have to go back first."

"..."

After all, she didn't wait for their reaction, and walked quickly to Soya's side.

"Have you waited for a long time?"

"No, I just arrived too."

"Uh-huh."

Soya stretched out his hand, she froze for a moment, and quickly held it.

"...I mean the schoolbag." He whispered.

Akane Kirino glanced at him, then looked back at the reactions of those girls, and quickly turned back, walking in front and pulling him.

"Okay, let's do this first."

She walked through two traffic lights until she saw that the person following her finally gave up, so she let go of her hand.

"Hey, girls are really troublesome...but Soya's reaction is really fast."

"..."

Soya didn't know if she included himself in the "troublesome girl" she said, so he simply kept silent, pretending he didn't hear it.

Akane Kirino didn't care, handed the schoolbag to him, and stretched out relaxedly.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Just a few minutes."

"There are a lot of streets here, so it's not easy to find." She still walked in front, looking around, "And Mr. Sogu doesn't have a mobile phone."

"Ah."

"In a few weeks, I won't need to come over."

The schoolbag in her hand was not too heavy, Soya looked at her dark blue middle school uniform, "Has the high school been decided yet?"

"Well, Danhai High School. It's a little far away, across from Lake Biwa."

Akane Kirino turned her head and smiled, "However, it's not certain whether you can pass the exam."

"I feel that Kirino always looks at ease, and he will definitely pass the exam."

"Hey." She smiled even more happily, "Thank you."

The two walked for a while, got on the bus at the roadside platform, and got off together after four or five stops.

"It's over there."

Akane Kirino stepped lightly, crossed the intersection, and brought Soya to an izakaya called "楽伦亭".

Lifting the noren curtain, the two of them stepped into the store and immediately felt much warmer.

The store is not too big, except for the seats at the bar, there are only three or four long individual tables.It was only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the izakaya hadn't opened yet. The two busy people behind the bar seemed to be all the shop assistants.

"Cy."

As soon as the woman with the neat ponytail opened her mouth, the middle-aged man beside her, who was busy preparing, also looked over.

"Is that him?"

Both of them focused their attention on Soya.

"It looks good. Mom likes it very much, so let him stay."
