Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 5 Temptation and Way Out

The Laquanting store at the entrance of the alley is not big, but it is very popular. After opening at [-] o'clock in the evening, many customers came to the door soon.

Although it was recommended by his daughter, Soya, whose origin is unknown, obviously couldn't stay with a joke-like comment, and had to prove to the Kirino couple that he was at least not a clumsy person through actual performance.

And now is the time to test.

"Father and mother will be responsible for preparing the dishes and paying the bill. Soya-kun's job is basically to receive customers, order, and serve food and drinks."

Akane Kirino lowered her head and adjusted the work uniform on her body, "That's what I helped in the store before."

"Ever since I started preparing for the exam, the store has been a bit busy, and the part-time workers can't stay long... Are you listening?"

"Listening." Soya nodded.

"Well... nothing else for the time being, Soya-kun, do you have any questions?"

"Is Kirino's exam preparation okay?"

"..."

She was startled, and soon smiled, "No problem."

"From now on, I have been busy preparing for the exam. I also want to change my mood a little bit."

The short pre-job training is over.The two left the changing room, and there seemed to be a lot more guests in the izakaya.

Akane Kirino's mother, Keiko Kirino, was ordering orders for a table of guests, when she caught sight of the two coming out, she turned her head and winked.

"Come on."

Akane Kirino came to the bar and led another group of waiting guests to sit down at the table, and Soya followed.

"What would you like to drink?"

After all, it is an izakaya, and the drink is the first dish.

"Let's have a beer first."

"Oda, you guys definitely hate me... By the way, I want plum wine."

"Why do you say that?" "A glass of Black Mist Island, add ice." "I'm so exhausted..."

"Senior, do you just drink soju when you come up?" "You hesitated when you chose your seat just now, didn't you?"

"Look, this is the strength of the predecessors."

"That's...that's because..."

The few guests who were seated talked to each other, and the information was quite messy, but Akane Kirino quickly extracted the key points after listening to it once.

"A glass of beer, a glass of plum wine, a glass of black Kirishima shochu with ice..."

Her eyes swept over one by one, and finally stayed on the man who was still explaining why she was hesitating, "What would this guest want to drink?"

"So... what? Wine? Anything."

"Is the beer okay?"

"Beer... yes. Let me tell you..."

"I see."

She took out the menu, "Before that, please take a look at the dishes in our restaurant."

Back at the bar, according to the customer's request, Akane Kirino poured wine and added ice cubes, and put a few special dishes of her own izakaya on the tray;

Just as he was about to pick up the tray, Soya next to him stretched out his hand first.

"Thank you~"

She smiled at him and went back to the table with him.

"Please enjoy."

Soya distributed the wine and side dishes to everyone, and Akane Kirino held the order book in her hand and recorded the dishes they ordered while asking;

After ordering, the two returned to the bar and conveyed their needs to Hiroyuki Kirino, who was serving as the chef.

"The guest at table two."

After scanning the menu, he picked out the skewered ingredients and put them on the grill.

"The cold slave will be handed over to Qian."

"Uh-huh."

When busy, Akane Kirino will also help prepare some simple appetizers, such as Leng Nu (cold tofu) and Zhidou (edamame);

She was lowering her head and sprinkled diced green onion and bonito flakes on the sliced ​​tofu. Before she poured soy sauce, another group of guests entered the izakaya.

"Welcome to Laquan Pavilion——"

She raised her head, and Soya beside her had already greeted her, leading the guests to the dining table inside.

"Souya-kun is a quick learner."

Turning over the roast on the iron rack, Hiroyuki Kirino also glanced over there.

"Boy friend?"

"Eh? No, no..."

Until about ten o'clock at night, the izakaya was still full of customers.It's just that there are not many newcomers among them, and they are not as busy as when they first entered the night.

Serving a plate of extra grilled skewers to the guest's table, Soya just took a breath when he noticed someone at the bar beckoning to him.

"Miss Kirino."

Kirino Keiko tidied up the tableware that had just been cleaned, and turned sideways to him when he approached.

"Sonya-kun, how do you feel?"

Being busy all the time, Soya doesn't have any special feelings, to be honest.

"a bit tired."

Kirino Keiko laughed, and continued: "Although the work is simple, it is also very hard after one night. But Soya-kun handled it very well. Have you ever worked elsewhere before?"

"No. It's just that when I was still in the orphanage, I often helped with housework. I don't think there is much difference."

"The welfare home..."

Her voice gradually dropped, and when she spoke again, she changed the subject.

"How much does Soya-kun know about Akane?"

Soya thought for a while, "She is a kind and cheerful girl."

Probably because she has come into contact with a lot of people in this growing environment, and her personality is more outgoing.

Kirino Keiko nodded and continued.

"Akane is different from ordinary girls, and she is also very active. She likes to pick up all kinds of small animals at home since she was a child.

In addition to kittens and puppies, birds with broken wings, half-dead frogs, snakes whose heads were crushed by cars... It's hard to believe, but it's all true. "

"..."

Her daughter was not here at this time, and Soya realized that he hadn't seen Akane Kirino for quite a while.

"However, after I found that I couldn't take care of all the small animals I picked up, such things gradually became less and less.

Unexpectedly, she just picked up a handsome boy this time... Should I say that she has grown up..."

Soya was silent for a moment, then sighed inwardly.

"Sorry to trouble you. I will move out as soon as possible."

"Soya-kun is indeed different from ordinary boys, he is much more mature than them."

Keiko Kirino shook her head and smiled, "But you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

"..."

She looked at him, "Mr. Zongya."

"exist."

"I heard from Qian that it took you more than two years to wander here from the northeast?"

It seems that Akane Kirino did not explain too many details to her parents, Soya hesitated, "From the results, it is indeed so."

"Is there anything that can't be said in the middle?"

"No, no one will believe you if you say it."

"My daughter seems to believe it."

"She's no ordinary person."

"..."

There were some subtle changes in Kirino Keiko's eyes, but obviously he still couldn't fully understand what he meant.

Soya noticed this, fumbled for the string around his neck, and took out the amulet from his collar.

"Akane's amulet..."

"Does Miss Tongye understand the function of this amulet?"

"I heard from the deceased mother-in-law that this is to prevent Akane from seeing those strange things." She looked at him, "Could it be that Soya-kun also..."

Soya nodded, "My wandering experience is related to this."

"..."

Faced with this unexpected turning point, Kirino Keiko did not let the emotion of surprise dominate for too long, but became more frank.

"Mr. Soya."

"exist."

"I'm just an ordinary person. It's hard to imagine those invisible things. Even though many people have told me that there is another world that looks like it, I have always kept a respectful distance."

"Although I can see, my attitude is the same as Miss Kirino." Soya looked at her, "This ability only brings me trouble."

She smiled and quickly restrained herself.

"Isn't Soya-kun a bad person?"

"No."

"There is no arrest warrant for Soya-kun in the police stations at all levels in the prefecture, right?"

"No." He paused, "Over there in Sendai, there may be a few missing person notices from two years ago."

"Is that so...Even this amulet has been handed over to Soya-kun, which shows that Akane trusts you very much."

"Yes."

"Since that's the case, Soya-kun won't die suddenly like the little animal Akane picked up, or disappear secretly after recovering from his injuries, right?"

"..."

Only now did Zongya vaguely understand the whole intention of her series of foreshadowing and probing.

"will not."

He gave an affirmative reply, and added at the end, "When I decide to leave, I will greet you well."

"That way I'm relieved."

Kirino Keiko nodded, and then glanced at her husband who was listening silently.

"I hope Soya-kun can stay forever."

Kirino Hiroyuki was honest and reticent, didn't say anything, just nodded.

"OK."

Kirino Keiko clapped his hands, and then took out another notebook.

"Then, let's talk about the hourly wages of working in our store."

After discussing with Soya about the hourly salary and housing, Kirino Keiko and her husband stayed in the store and asked him to send Kirino Akane home.

"...The hourly wage is 1000 yen during normal hours, and 1200 yen after nine o'clock. The salary is paid weekly."

"yes."

Light yellow lights illuminate the street. After all, it is not a big city, and the road is already very deserted at this time.Akane Kirino walked in front, turned her head after a few steps, and listened to Soya repeat what happened after she was dismissed just now.

"What about the place where Soya-kun lives?"

"It's still the old house of the Kirino family."

With her bag hanging on her shoulder, Soya glanced left and right, remembering the streets she walked all the way with her eyes.

"However, Ms. Kirino also forfeited my rent. She just asked me to clean it occasionally and keep it clean."

"Really? That's a real help."

Finally liberated from the long-standing voluntary labor, Kirino Akane showed a relieved smile.

"But my store doesn't open until five o'clock in the afternoon. During the daytime, what is Soya-kun going to do?"

"study."

"Eh?"

She stopped and turned around, and Soya was also looking at her.

"I'm going to use my daytime to study middle school courses and take the middle school entrance examination next year."

"..."

Kirino Akane looked at him for a while, "Soya-kun, do you plan to continue your studies?"

"Ah."

"That's nice. Do you need my help?"

"Very necessary."

Soya nodded, "However, let's wait until Kirino settles down in high school first."
