Chapter 109

Walking out of the social affairs office, Kyoko brought Tsukiyomi to the hut next to the Moon Palace.

This is the place where the shrine sells omamori, painted horses and other things to worshipers. Kyoko greeted the maiden Hanai Mayuri inside and explained the situation.

"Hey... came to help? At this time?"

Hanai is a little older, and he is a rare psychic who is willing to stay at the shrine during the holidays. After seeing that Tsukiyomi is not an ordinary person, he directly ruled out the possibility that he is a part-time shrine maiden.

"Which shrine, I don't think I've seen you before."

"..."

Tsukiyomi kept Soya's words in mind, and didn't say a word.

"Miss Yuezi came from far away." Jingzi explained for him, and then added, "She is born with aphasia and cannot speak."

"what."

Huajing immediately expressed sympathy, "It's a pity... she is obviously a beauty."

Yuedu smiled and said nothing, but in her eyes, it became the embodiment of disability.

"Yuezi...is that the name?"

She looked at Jingzi again, "What's her last name?"

"..."

Kyoko was dumbfounded.

There is no surname in Yuedu.

"—Kirino."

She turned her head, and Soya also came over, "Yuezi was abandoned by her parents since she was a child, so I don't know what her last name is. But she is currently living in Tongye's house, so let's assume that her surname is also Tongye."

"..."

Hearing that she was still abandoned by her parents, Huajing suddenly felt more sympathetic to Yuedu, "Then let's call you Miss Yuezi."

What Yuedu could say, he could only nod.

Soya came frequently, and the maidens of Fuyun Shrine, especially those who belonged to the same organization, knew him, and Hanai also had a chat with him.

"I was away a few days ago, Soya seems to be going on a date with Kyoko."

"It's camping by Lake Biwa. It's on the Otsu side."

"It's so romantic." Huai said, looking at Kyoko who was silent, "But today I can't take her away. As you can see, these are the only people left in the shrine."

"will not."

Soya smiled, "I just sent confinement to help."

Without further ado, Soya and Kyoko took turns explaining to Tsukiyomi what to pay attention to, Hanai Mayuri only felt that they were overly worried.

"Miss Yuezi should just not be able to speak, right?"

"No... She also struggled to understand what others said."

Huajing looked at Yuedu with affection in his eyes, and said that he would help take care of her.

While a few people were talking, there were always worshipers choosing the omamori here and paying their bills.When there are too many people, there will be a waiting situation;
Hanai handed over [-] yen in change to one of them, and seeing that Soya and Kyoko had almost finished their confession, she pointed to Tsukuyomi next to her.

"You can also check out here."

Several worshipers came to Tsukiyomi with money and Oshou instead. He was stunned for two seconds, then took the banknotes and started to give them change.

Although the movements were not fast, they did not panic either. Soya and Kyoko looked at the side for a while, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"elder sister--"

On the other side of the Palace of Gods, Yuzi's cry suddenly came.

Kyoko had been away from her post for too long, and the number of worshipers who came to ask for lottery gradually increased, and she finally couldn't handle it alone.

"Sorry." Kyoko looked at Soya, "I have to go."

He nodded.

"I'll go back first..." / "Mr. Soya is at the Social Affairs Office first..."

The two spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.

"..."

Soya looked at Kyoko, and it was rare that she didn't change his words.

"It's okay to go back."

He changed his tune.

"...Just stay here for a while. Leave me alone."

The corner of Jingzi's mouth curled up, she nodded slightly, and turned to go to her sister.

Sitting alone in the spacious Japanese room of the social affairs office for a while, Soya had nothing to do and went outside again.

The low noon time period had passed, and he was slightly surprised by the number of worshipers in the shrine.It seems that "these days are very busy" in Jingzi's mouth is not just talking.

"Sure enough, it's good to be close to the station..."

Soya came out of the social affairs office in casual clothes, making many worshipers think that the inside was also a place to visit, and when they wanted to go in, they were stopped by him.

He pointed to the stand next to the "Social Affairs Office".

After solving the small disturbance here, Zongya was going to go to the ancestral wooden house behind the main hall to pass the time by looking through the information on the activities of the spirit body.

——If you don’t have the idea of ​​feeling hard, then it’s not considered working overtime on a rest day.

When passing by the lottery place next to the Palace of Gods, seeing Jingzi looking over from a distance, he turned his way to that side again.

She was busy, just nodded.

The primary school student Yuzi next to her, because she is not tall enough, has a little more difficulty when standing on tiptoe to get the signature, which makes people who don't know can't help but want to contact the police.

But after all, there are only two lottery holders, and the two sisters deal with each other, so they won't be overwhelmed.

Soya took a look and stood at the end of the line in front of Kyoko.

While queuing, he turned his head and looked to the other side.

The Palace of God is on the left side of the shrine, the Palace of Heaven is in the middle, and the Palace of the Moon is on the right. Looking through the atrium surrounded by three main halls, Soya saw Tsukiyomi at a glance.

He's much busier there.

The tall and slender priestess with a beautiful appearance is quite attractive to both male and female worshipers, not to mention she also has some special attributes.

"..."

The distance was a little far, Sogu squinted his eyes to see the sign in front of her clearly.

"'A shrine maiden who doesn't talk to the world, who can only talk to the gods'... What are these things?"

It's probably a gimmick thought up by Mayu Hanai.

But in a place like a shrine, there are many people who eat this way.

There was an endless stream of people buying the shou, and the movements of receiving money and giving change became more and more proficient. It was not at all obvious that he was still at home more than an hour ago.

Standing in line, Soya glanced over there occasionally, the lottery line in front of him became shorter and shorter, and soon it was his turn.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Jingzi nodded slightly, took the hundred yuan coin from him, and handed him the lottery holder.

"Sorry, Soya-san, are you bored by being alone?"

"So I'm out."

Soya shook the lottery, "I plan to go to the wooden house to check the information for a while."

"yes……"

A bamboo stick came out.

"25."

He glanced at the label, raised his head and asked, "Is it Daji?"

"..."

Kyoko looked at him helplessly.

"It doesn't appear to be."

Soya put the bamboo stick back, and continued to shake it twice.

Another bamboo stick emerged.

"32."

Before Soya could ask, Kyoko turned around to look for the signature.

When he opened it, he realized that what he got was the first signature.

"Only the first lottery is accurate," she explained.

Looking at the "Ji" on the signature, Soya smiled, turned and left without disturbing her.

After making eye contact with the busy Yuedu, he went straight to the back of the hall.

"Sorry, this place is not open to the public."

"what……"

Rejecting curious visitors who tried to follow him into the wooden house, Soya closed the door of the wooden house and walked into the archive room alone.

Unconsciously folding the signature in his hand, he scanned the bookshelves on both sides as he walked.

When the signature was folded and formed, he also stopped.

"Heisei 11... Records of spirit body activities at the end of the last century. Forget it, it's just to pass the time anyway."

Pulling out the thick stack of spirit body information, Soya walked to the back of the desk and sat down.Putting the origami on the table casually, he started looking through it from the beginning.

"Is the first incident the evil spirit hurting people? It's really a bad start to the year..."

Soya, who was awakened by the news, did not come out of the wooden house until the sky was getting dark.

Kirino Akane and Yoshikawa went to the old house to look for him to walk the dog, but found that he was not at home, so they sent a message to ask.Seeing that it was getting late, Soya prepared to go back.

The number of worshipers in the shrine has decreased a lot.

He explained his intention to Jingzi, and she was silent for a while, then asked him if the door of the wooden house was locked.

"……I gonna go see."

"No need." Jingzi stopped him, "I will check it when the agency is closed."

Yuedu naturally wants to go back with him.

After he came out of the maiden costume, Kyoko handed over the part-time wages to him.

"Six thousand yen?!"

Tsukiyomi, who had pretended to be mute all afternoon, screamed uncontrollably, his excitement was beyond words, but fortunately Huai had already gone back first.

Soya felt that Kyoko should have given a lot more, but he didn't ask in detail.

"Master Yuedu, can you come over by yourself tomorrow?"

"No problem no problem—"

He looked at Jingzi again, "Then leave it to Jingzi tomorrow."

"Ah."

Seeing the backs of Zongya and Yuedu going down the mountain, Yuzi turned to her sister and asked, "Brother Zonggu won't stay for dinner today?"

Kyoko was silent.

After another half an hour, it was time to close the agency.

After checking the main hall in front, Jingzi walked to the ancestral hall behind in the dark, and found that the door of the wooden house was locked.

After stopping for a few seconds, she still opened the iron lock and went in to have a look.

Business as usual.

There was only one thing left on the table in the deepest part of the archive room.

"...Thousand paper cranes?"

 Not (kai) language (kou) person (gui)
