Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 106 Illusion
People come and go at Kyoto Station, but Asagiri is small and hard to spot.The mutual induction between psychics may play some role in finding people.

——This is what Kyoko explained to Soya after getting on the train bound for Kyoto.

And his reaction was a little subtle.

"You said yes."

"..."

After 15 minutes, the tram arrived at Kyoto Station, and the two of them waited on the platform without leaving the station.

Chao Wuling was already on her way, and if she wanted to take the tram back to Near Lake City, she would definitely come to this platform.

After realizing this, Kyoko stared at the rails and didn't speak for a long time.

Fortunately, Soya had long forgotten what she said just now.

"There are so many tourists..."

Looking at the crowds coming and going on the front and back platforms, he thought of Gu Dao and his wife who left early, "I don't know if they went back or not."

"Who?"

"A relative of the Kirino family came to Kyoto for a trip, and stayed at the old house for the past two days."

Soya looked at Kyoko, "One of them is also a psychic, but he came from Saitama. Do you know Kyoko, Tanishima Chaoyang?"

"do not know."

Kyoko shook her head, and said again: "If it is from Saitama, it should belong to the Tokyo Metropolitan Spiritual Awareness Organization."

"yes."

According to Jingzi, the scope of jurisdiction of the psychic institutions in each region is roughly the same as the actual administrative regional planning, and there is a national head office on top of it.

"The head office is set up in Tokyo?"

"No, Izumo."

Kyoko said, and looked at Soya again, "On the document that Soya-san joined the institution, this part is basic knowledge."

"I did not see."

He frankly admitted, and then said: "If necessary, I can ask Jingzi directly. In this regard, Jingzi is my most trusted companion."

She pursed her lips and smiled a little at his trust in such trivial matters.

"Well, I'm Soya-san's companion."

And she also found a plausible explanation for her various thoughts since today:

Because they are companions who trust each other.The intimacy that arises unconsciously is also part of trust.

The two waited on the platform for a while, and sent a message to Wuling, saying that she still had one more stop.

"It is said that senior sister Yugong came here with her."

"yes."

"Well, Senior Amamiya lives nearby."

Not long after, Zhao Wuling came to the platform where Soya and Kyoko were, and the sister Amamiya from the literature and art department was holding her little hand in front, like a big sister.

"Student Amamiya."

"Hey...you are...Sugawara-san."

Kyoko greeted her, and Amamiya responded in a panic, and then looked at Soya—he often went to the Department of Literature and Art to look for Asagiri, of course she knew him.

Why is he with Sugawara-san?
Looking at the fresh casual clothes on Jingzi, she suddenly had a guess: Could it be that she is on a date?

It's just that neither of them planned to explain, so Yugong didn't ask any further questions.

"Then I'll take my leave."

After staying for a while, Amamiya said goodbye to the three of them, and said to Zhao Wuling in particular: "I am really happy to be able to go to the museum with Senior today. See you at school."

"..."

Kyoko glanced at her, and was a little concerned about the confusing relationship between them, while Soya next to her was already used to it.

Zhao Wuling looked up at Yugong and nodded.

"Me too."

After saying goodbye again, Amamiya left the platform with a happy face.

Not long after, the tram that the three of them took to go back also pulled into the station.

Soya pulled Chao Wuling to find a place to sit down, there were still many seats, Kyoko sat down next to him.

Across Soya, the two looked at each other in unison.

"What's wrong?" He looked around.

Both shook their heads.

The tram starts, leaves the bright station, and plunges into darkness again.

It was getting late, and there were not many passengers in the carriage the three of them were in. They were sitting scattered, looking at their mobile phones, or looking out the window, without disturbing each other.

As the tram moved forward, he noticed something when he bowed his head towards Kirizune, raised his hand and tapped Soya's cuff.

There was a dark red stain, sort of like dried blood.

"It's all right. It's soup from lunch, and it washes off easily."

She nodded, and when she retracted her arms, the pendants on the handbag collided with each other, making a light noise.

Soya glanced at it, and there seemed to be two pendants that he hadn't seen before, which should be souvenirs sold in the museum.

"Sister Suzu and Amamiya, have you been staying in the National Museum today?"

"Have a meal."

"Of course not including eating time..."

She nodded.

"What did you see?"

"Waka 36 Immortal Paintings. Buddha Statue Exhibition. Qi Baishi Painting Exhibition..."

Zhao Wuling has a very good memory, telling all kinds of artworks he saw during the day.

Sogu was listening, and occasionally she would raise her head and tell him with her eyes that the collection just introduced was made by a friend she knew back then.

"The harvest is really not small. Are you happy?"

"Ah."

"I would like to thank sister Amamiya for the invitation."

Chao Wuling nodded again, and looked up at the opposite car window.

No matter how the night scene outside retreats and moves away, her phantom remains unchanged.

Time stopped flowing in her body, and it also made her more sensitive to the flow of time.

"Hope she has a long life."

After arriving at the station, Kyoko got out of the car first.

At the time of parting, Soya thanked her for taking a day to be with him, Kyoko just shook her head slightly.

"This day, I also had a good time... Thank you."

"Then see you at school in a few days."

She glanced at him, hesitated to speak.

The temporarily stopped tram didn't give her much time to hesitate, so she had to get off first after the bell rang.

"……goodbye."

Soya only looked away when the platform where only Kyoko was alone disappeared from view.

There was a sudden sinking on the shoulders.

Chao Wuling leaned closer, eyes closed.

"Tired."

"Ah."

After all, it's getting late.Soya was still in good spirits, all because he slept in the tent in the afternoon.

The distance between two stations was reached in a blink of an eye. The two got out of the car and left the station. Soya knelt down consciously and carried the Asagiri bell on his back.

"Hold tight."

"Ah."

The moon will send you off.

At night, all the thick clouds in the sky cleared up, and it was a clear sky again.

"Looks like..."

Sogu raised his head and then lowered his head, "Forget it, I'm not sure. It was the same last night, and it's still raining today."

Zhao Wuling moved slightly behind her back, listening to him continue.

"Jingzi and I were walking by the lake, and we couldn't even find a place to hide from the rain, we were all wet."

"..."

She raised her hand and touched his forehead.

"How about it?"

"It's a little hot."

"That's because Ling's hands are too cold."

"I am dead."

"Isn't this still alive and well?"

Sogu lifted her up, "It feels a little heavier than before...it hurts."

The hand that was stroking his forehead dropped down, pinching his cheek, and pulling it twice before letting go.

"I know...it's probably an illusion."

"Ah."

Her hand touched his forehead again.

"It's okay, I went to a nearby hotel to take a hot shower after the rain."

Chao Wuling didn't say anything, and hugged his neck tightly again.

When the two returned to Kirino's old house, the Gujima couple had already returned, and Akane Kirino and Hongko Yoshikawa were still sitting in the living room here.

"Songya..."

Looking at the girl on his shoulder, Akane Kirino suddenly lowered her voice, "Is Ling asleep?"

Soya turned his head and took a look, no wonder her hands relaxed slowly on the road.

After visiting the museum all day, she was probably really tired.

"I'll send the bell back to the room first." He said softly.

Akane Kirino and Yoshikawa who came up to him both nodded, but did not follow.

When he came to Asagirizuki's room, Soya put her down, took out the futon and spread it out, took off his coat, and carried her into the bed.

The unavoidable movement made her recover a little bit of sobriety.

Dialogue requires thinking, which will drive away more drowsiness, Soya just rubbed her face with the back of his hand, then got up and left.

When the door was about to close, he saw her struggling to sit up and began to take off the clothes inside.

"..."

Soya shook his head and closed the door.
