Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 6 Miko
From the izakaya Rakusen-tei to the current residence of the Kirino family, the distance is not far or close, and it takes about 10 minutes to walk.

In the cold night, there were few pedestrians on the road, and the cold wind whizzed past the empty streets and alleys. Only Soya and Akane Kirino walked leisurely.

In other words, Akane Kirino, who was chatting excitedly, deliberately slowed down.

"...Then, after hearing that I was going to be admitted to Danhai High School, Hongzi also went to sign up for the school's entrance exam."

"Ah."

"Obviously there are many good high schools nearby."

"yes."

"With her grades, she can actually go to the best county high school. That's what she seems to have planned before."

"awesome."

"Even if it's private, there are better options."

"yes."

Akane Kirino stopped.

"Songya."

"..."

Soya understood that he couldn't continue to be perfunctory.

Fortunately, he didn't miss a word.

"Shouldn't you be happy to be admitted to the same high school as your girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend?"

"...Isn't it?"

"No, just ordinary friends."

She tilted her head, "Why does Zongya think that Hongzi and I are best friends?"

Because you eat together at school, chat together, go to the bathroom together, and go shopping together after school...

"Guess."

"Wrong guess."

"yes."

"For girls, girlfriends..."

Akane Kirino was about to start a new topic, but her gaze paused for a moment on the street ahead.

"what?"

Sogu also glanced over there, and there was nothing under the dim streetlights except for a closed roadside shop.

"what happened?"

"On the ground over there..."

She raised her finger and suddenly realized something, "Can't Zongya see it?"

"..."

He also reacted quickly and touched the amulet on his chest.

"Well, I can't see. What's there?"

"There is a person on the road, no, there is a spirit walking and crawling, it looks very reluctant."

Kirino Akane has mild myopia, but she doesn't like wearing glasses, and she has to squint to see things in the distance.

"Ah... His body seems to be injured, and there is a long wound on his back."

Soya wanted to stand by and watch, but the girl next to him obviously had another plan.

Thinking of Mrs. Kirino's words before, he had no choice but to remind, "Spiritual bodies are not small animals."

"Huh? What?"

"Are you going to save it?"

Akane Kirino opened her eyes wide, "Can you?"

"No."

"Eh……"

She thought for a while, then asked again: "Is it 'impossible' or 'not allowed'?"

"Both."

"why?"

In order to completely dispel her thoughts, Soya patiently explained:
"The moment it becomes a spirit body, it means that its life has ended. And you are just an ordinary person with a relatively developed spiritual sense. You can see it, touch it and even completely destroy it, but you can't stop the spirit body demise."

This is the "can't do" part, followed by the "not allowed".

"And becoming a spirit body doesn't just mean losing life, but also losing part of consciousness. As for memory, emotion, rationality, or something else, it's impossible to judge—that is, it may be aggressive. "

"..."

Akane Kirino was stunned for a moment, "Really."

"As you can see, the injury on its back means that it has been attacked; and it is difficult to escape from the Huangquan army or the daughter of Huangquan when it is injured, which means that the attack it received came from the world."

She stared blankly at Soya until he came to his final conclusion.

"The person who hunted down this spirit came from the shrine."

"shrine?"

"Except for the special circumstances of entrustment, they usually only attack the spirit bodies that disturb the human world. Drive away the less influential parts of them, and kill the aggressive evil spirits."

"That is to say..."

"That's right, what you saw was the evil spirit."

Soya took a deep breath, and exhaled another cloud of white mist, "In order to eliminate it, a priestess was sent from a nearby shrine. It may be because she is not proficient in the use of sword-shaped spiritual weapons, which allowed this evil spirit to escape so far. "

"..."

There was too much information, Akane Kirino was a little shocked in the confusion.

"Why can Soya see so much from a single wound?"

"Because I saw it."

"Eh?"

"Look ahead."

She turned around, only to find another figure on the street ahead.

The man with his back to this side, with white sleeves and scarlet blouse, is tall and tall, with long black hair hanging down to his waist, holding a longbow in his hand. Just as he loosened the string at this time, an arrow flew straight into the ground, forcing him to stop evil spirits.

"She's holding a bow..." Akane Kirino whispered.

"Because I am not proficient with swords, if I insist on it, the evil spirit may find a chance to escape."

Soya's judgment came from the slit she described, but he soon realized he was only half right.

Just as the tall witch was threatening the evil spirits on the ground with a bow and arrow, another witch ran out from the shadows by the side of the road, but her figure was much shorter, even reaching the former's waist and abdomen.

"so cute……"

Akane Kirino raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes sparkled, "Primary school maiden?"

Sogu's eyes fell on the wooden sword she was dragging in her hand.

It seems that she is the one who is not proficient with a sword.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two people in the distance said something, and the tall witch suddenly shot four arrows, each of which was nailed to the ground;
Then Soya saw Kirino Akane frowning tightly and covering her ears.

He couldn't hear it, but he could guess that the evil spirit was screaming in pain.The little witch had the same reaction as her, even throwing the wooden sword in her hand to the ground.

"She nailed the man... the limbs of the evil spirit with arrows."

Akane Kirino explained the current situation for him, her brows became tighter and tighter, "What does this mean, is she going to let that child execute him?"

As if to match her guess, the tall witch leaned over to pick up the wooden sword, and forced it into the little witch's hand.

"stop!"

"..."

Soya beside him and the witches and maidens in the distance all looked over, and Akane Kirino ran forward quickly without changing her expression.

Although she didn't know what she was going to do, seeing her approaching, the big witch immediately lowered her head and gave a urging voice.

The little witch shook her head in response, so she had no choice but to hold the wooden sword tightly and cut off her head with one blow.

The evil spirit dissipated in a sharp wail, and she glanced at Akane Kirino who was staggering, pulled up the little witch beside her, and prepared to leave.

And when the two sides drew closer to a certain distance, the three of them suddenly stopped at the same time.

"..."

The two maidens looked back at Akane Kirino, and then looked at each other; the latter was stunned for a few seconds, then turned to look at Soya who was still standing there.

"I feel it now!"

Akane Kirino, who has liberated her spiritual sense, consciously felt the "aura" of her kind for the first time.

Soya just nodded, and while walking towards her, motioned her to look behind her.

She felt the "aura" of others, which meant that the other party also "discovered" her existence.

The tall witch not only stopped, but turned around and walked towards her.

"I'm Kyoko Sugawara from Fuyun Shrine. Without further ado, are you interested in becoming a shrine maiden?"
