Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 45 The Dust Settles

In the early hours of the morning, Pingcut Mountain.

After the turmoil, there was only a mess left.

The shock wave released by the peerless evil spirit not only wiped out the army of Huangquan, but also caused the spiritual sense people nearby to fall one after another.

The filthy air of the underworld fills the body, and it is difficult to dissipate without getting rid of it. Although it is not fatal, it will always affect various functions of the body.

However, the physical soreness cannot conceal their inner joy:
The peerless evil spirit was wiped out!

——Kyoko Sugawara, from Fuyun Shrine, shot an arrow at the vital point of the evil spirit, ending his two-month record of being a disaster in Kinki.

This is what the psychics who rushed to the mountain from the outside heard the news.

As for the enlightened people who were originally on the platform on the mountain, they naturally knew better: it was indeed Kyoko Sugawara who shot down the evil spirit, but it was someone else who really ended it.

Although the ensuing battle was short, it was even more intense, enough to make people forget the previous arrow.

"Since you're still alive and kicking, go help with Jingzi."

Sitting slumped in the last row of the commercial vehicle, Noma Minami tilted his head and looked at Soya in front, "You're an 'ordinary person'."

"I'm injured."

Soya took a look at her, and continued to look after Asagiri who was also limp.

"Injured? You didn't receive an attack when you fought that black shadow, do you think I didn't see it?
Having said that, your skill is so flexible, is it too deep to hide? "

"...It's not convenient for me to show up now."

"Even if you hide from people, no one will forget what happened tonight."

"How can there be so many caring people, it's true that they can't take care of themselves."

Soya plucked the blade of grass from Asagirisuzuki's hair and threw it out of the car.

"And I have been following Sugawara-senpai tonight. People who still remember clearly may become blurred after a while."

"..."

Minami Noma tried to sit up straight, and the pain was immediately responded to. He yelled and yelled for a long time but failed, so he had to give up.

"This state is really uncomfortable..."

She looked at the two priestesses on the left and right, and they all looked like this.Among the people in the car when they arrived, only Soya and Kyoko were safe and sound.

"How did you do it?"

Zongya played dumb, "What?"

Minami Noma raised his foot, but he didn't say anything when he didn't kick him, instead he grinned in pain.

"It hurts, hurts... what do you think?"

"Speaking of which, Ms. Noma is in such a state that she can't drive anymore, can she? Can Miss Sugawara know how to drive?"

"Don't change the subject - you don't need to worry about this, someone will send us back to the shrine later, please answer me honestly."

Staying in a car, Soya couldn't avoid it after all, so he took out the amulet from his clothes and showed it to her.

"Just because of this?"

"I also find it incredible."

"Take it down and show me."

"You think beautiful."

However, he still let Zhao Wuling hold the amulet, and demonstrated the effect of spiritual suppression on the spot.

"..."

The three mikos in the back row stared at the amulet and then at each other.

"Has anything like this ever happened before?"

"There have been similar records, but it may not be seen once in hundreds of years."

"Do you want to report to the agency?"

"forget it……"

It was hard for Soya to be sure if they really forgot it, or if he changed his words temporarily because he was worried that he was still here, "This amulet is very important to me."

"All right, all right, I promise."

Noma Minami waved his hand to show understanding.

"what time is it now?"

"Around four o'clock."

"Is that so..."

She fell back and looked out the dark car window.

"Then I won't be able to go to work tomorrow."

As Asagiri Rin was also affected by the shock wave, she needed to go to the shrine to get rid of the filth of the underworld in her body, so the business car on the return journey did not detour to Kirino's house, but drove directly to Fuyun Shrine.

The miko who was temporarily serving as the driver was one of the peripheral agency personnel who did not directly participate in the exorcism, and no one knew her. Sugawara Kyoko only knew her name when she was leaving.

The two sides had nothing to say, so they kept silent all the way until they returned to Fuyun Shrine.

The priestesses who stayed in the social affairs office had already made preparations, and immediately began the ritual of removing the filth.

"This process will take some time." Zhao Wuling sat among the three maidens, and Kyoko looked at Soya, who was looking tired, "Songya, you can go to rest first."

"it is good."

She took him to her room in the social affairs office, "If Soya-san still plans to go to school today, I will wake you up then."

"Aren't Miss Sugawara going to rest?"

"I can still hold on."

Soya nodded.

"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to sleep either."

"..."

Kyoko who had already reached the door stopped, then closed the sliding door, and looked back at him.

"Soya-san, have you completely killed Tsukuyomi-sama?"

"Has Sugawara-senpai finally believed that he is Tsukiyomi?"

"...I've never seen a spirit like that before."

"It doesn't mean that he is Yueyue."

"..."

Jingzi looked at him for a while, obviously he told himself this.

"So, what about Soya-san's answer?"

"of course not."

Soya took out a small piece of wood from his pocket, it was the charred comb tooth.

"After completely removing those unclean things, Tsukuyomi has returned to his original nature, let him attach to it for the time being."

thump.

Kyoko fell to the ground suddenly, "Master Tsukiyomi—"

Sogu, who was pinching the comb teeth, was startled, and then suddenly laughed.

"Sister Sugawara, do you believe this?"

"..."

Jingzi immediately raised his head, with a cold light in his eyes, staring at him and got up without saying a word.

"Sorry, just kidding... Although I really didn't lie to you."

Soya glanced back at her bed, and said, "I can't rest directly yet, Sugawara-senpai also needs to stay awake, and I have an important thing to ask you."

Kyoko just looked at him without moving his eyes.

"I will prove to my senior that he is Tsukuyomi. Correspondingly, I need my senior to open the gate of the Moon Palace—at this time, the gate should be locked."

"It's locked. Why open the door?"

"He said he was dying."

"...It's not working anymore?"

Soya didn't explain too much, and simply threw the comb teeth over.

Jingzi quickly caught it, and as soon as she touched the comb teeth, a voice rang in her mind:
"Be a little more gentle!"

"..."

She shook her hand, and the tiny comb teeth slipped from between her fingers and fell to the ground.

Zong Gu glanced at her, and didn't want to delay any longer, picked up the comb teeth, and dragged her outside.

"Are you still alive?"

The god attached to the comb teeth did not respond, and it was not known whether it was fainted from the fall, or simply dissipated.

Pulling the numb Kyoko all the way to the Palace of the Moon, Zongya was about to let her open the door when a cloud of light floated on the comb teeth and slipped into the palace along the gap.

He looked in through the gap, only to see the ball of light flying straight to the statue of Yueyomi God in the center of the hall, and there was no movement after getting in.

"Although Yueyue was not born in human belief, it can also be nourished from it. It just so happens that he is enshrined here, and he has absorbed the power of faith of many believers over the years..."

These are the original words read by the month.

On Mount Pingari, Kyoko shot a precise arrow and sent the comb teeth contaminated with Izanagi's breath into Tsukuyomi's body, awakening his muddled consciousness;
Afterwards, Soya eliminated the energy body that absorbed most of the evil thoughts, and stabbed the sky spirit with the magic-breaking arrow, eliminating the last lingering part, and Tsukiyomi's consciousness completely returned to normal.

It's just that the energy body of evil thoughts that was separated from him consumes his own divine power.After eradicating the evil thoughts, he himself is about to die, so he can only rest on his father's comb for the time being.

The disappearance of ordinary spiritual bodies is unstoppable, but gods can last for a long time by absorbing beliefs, so please ask Soya to bring him here.

"After a while, he will be able to condense into a slightly more decent body again."

Soya said, looking back at Kyoko.

She glanced at him and slowly withdrew her hand.

"Feel sorry."

Kyoko shook her head, opened the door of the temple, and walked to the statue of Tsukiyomi to pray.

"Master Yueyue..."

Sogu stood outside the Moon Palace, "He's in a deep sleep right now, so he can't respond to you."

Kyoko was silent for a while, then turned around again.

"What can I do for Tsukiyomi-sama?"

"I can't do anything, the most practical thing is to disturb less."

"I see."

She saluted the statue again, exited the hall, and locked the door again.

At this time, the sky was not as dark as before, Kyoko looked up at the sky, and then slightly bent over Soya.

"Thank you, Soya-san."

Sogu accepted it calmly, and then returned the gift.

"I want to thank you too."

　I wish you all a Happy New Year.
