Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 150 I Can't Refuse
Following Kyoko to the parking lot, Soya saw Noma Minami standing at the station from a distance, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

After getting closer, he realized that it was just a cigarette-shaped candy.

And she looked over early, her eyes fell on the faces of the two girls behind him, and she already had a vague premonition in her heart.

"Teacher Noma."

Yoshikawa walked to Soya and stopped, and gave a slight salute, "I want to go with you, can I?"

"..."

Taking advantage of her lowering her head, Minami Noma gave Soya a quick look.

"Okay."

When she raised her gaze again, Noma Minami agreed at first, and then said: "But I am the driver, and Kyoko is the person in charge, and she must agree."

"Sister Sugawara said it's okay." Yoshikawa turned around, and Kyoko nodded calmly.

Noma Minami had nothing to say, turned around and got into the car.

"Soya, you take the co-pilot."

"I see."

The sports car drove out of the school, circled down the mountain, and drove north along the lakeside road.

On a sunny afternoon, Lake Biwa is sparkling, bright and beautiful.

Soya lowered the car window and only looked outside, half of his face facing in had been pierced into a sieve by Minami Noma's eyes.

The wind kept blowing in, Jingzi raised his hand to stroke his long hair, and then looked at the seat in front of him.

Sogu leaned against the car window, half of his face was shining in the sun, his brows were tightly frowned by the wind.

She had wanted to have a little chat with him.

"teacher……"

Yoshikawa, who had no sense of presence, only spoke again at this time, making the attention of the three people in the car focus on her.

"Where are we going now?"

"Nizu Town."

Noma Minami's dissatisfaction was concentrated on Soya, and she was still very gentle to this unexpected girl—she was gentle to pretty girls.

"Something strange happened in the village in the countryside over there, and there are no shrines nearby. It just so happened that a relative of mine lived there, contacted me, and went to have a look."

"I see……"

"There is a natural hot spring pool over there, and the scenery is not bad. Unfortunately, it is too remote, and few people are willing to go there. I haven't been there for two or three years..."

While talking, Noma Minami slowed down, turned a corner at the T-junction, and drove towards the countryside.

The beautiful scenery of the lake was left behind, and Soya also turned back, looking ahead at the empty road sandwiched between the low houses.

"That said, we also needed a lot of time in the past."

Minami Noma looked at him in surprise, "It turns out Soya understands what I say?"

Zongya put on a smile, "Look at what you said..."

"If you drive, it will take an hour and a half."

Noma Minami didn't want Yoshikawa to see anything, so he looked forward again.

"Although it's an investigation, when we get there, we should try our best to solve the matter once. It's troublesome to run back and forth... Don't worry, our relatives will entertain us, and we'll come back after dinner."

"I see."

"However, that relative of mine doesn't like boys very much, so there might not be Soya's portion for dinner."

"yes."

Soya smiled, and looked back at the two people in the back seat.

"Then let Kyoko give me dinner."

"..."

The two looked at each other, Kyoko looked away first, but there was still no expression on his face.

"can."

The road was empty, Minami Noma glanced at her in the rearview mirror and shook her head secretly.

Driving all the way towards the countryside of Niitsu Town, there are fewer and fewer cars on the road.

On both sides of the road, fields and forests gradually replaced dense residential buildings, lush and lush.

Gradually, open fields became rare.The green hills are continuous, and the road around the mountains seems to be endless.

After more than an hour, Noma Minami and his party finally approached their destination, a village in the deep mountains and old forests.

"It's only here."

Noma Minami stopped the car at the intersection, "This is the only road leading to the village, and it's still a dirt road. If you drive hard on it, you'll make people vomit. I'm not willing to part with my car."

Let Zongya and the others get out of the car first, she turned the car around, found a place to stop again, and tried not to block the road.

There was silence everywhere, Yoshikawa folded his arms and moved closer to Soya.

"It's a bit cold here..."

"I feel so too."

The tall mountains on both sides blocked the sun, the forest was deep and the trees were dense, and the temperature was much lower than outside.

Kyoko stood aside, looking into the distance.

"Let's go."

Noma Minami parked the car and greeted him.

"It's cool, isn't it? This is a valley, and there's no sunshine at three or four in the afternoon. You can come here to escape the heat during summer vacation. But that's the only advantage."

Seeing Yoshikawa looking around, she said again: "The village is still inside."

"Is it far?"

"It's not too far away, you can walk there in ten minutes."

Minami Noma led the way ahead, looked left and right for a while, and seemed to be nostalgic.

When the nostalgia was almost over, she turned her head and stared at Soya who was walking in front of Kyoko and Yoshikawa.

"come here."

Zongya also understood that she must say something to him, held back all the way, and now finally found a chance.

"What's going on?" Minami Noma asked in a low voice.

"As you can see." Soya replied.

The voices of the two were very low, and Jingzi and Yoshikawa both took the initiative to slow down their pace, falling a dozen steps away, let alone being able to hear their conversation.

Minami Noma looked at him, "Soya should understand what I mean, right?"

"I probably understand a little bit."

Seeing that she was still staring at him, Soya was a little helpless, "Yoshikawa himself wants to follow."

"When she wanted to come, Sogu let her follow?"

"Because I am the same as the teacher."

"what?"

Minami Noma didn't understand his nonsense sentence all at once.

"I can't refuse a cute girl."

"..."

Minami Noma was speechless.

"Besides, I couldn't find any special reason to refuse her." Soya added, "What's more, Kyoko agreed very simply."

She looked at him for a while, "Soya doesn't intend to date Yoshikawa, does he?"

"I have no such plan now."

"'Now'...then have you noticed that Kyoko's state today is not quite right?"

"..."

Soya was silent.

He still remembered Kyoko's complicated expression when he came to the back door of Class A's first-year classroom more than an hour ago and saw him and Yoshikawa holding hands.

"Kyoko, she, yesterday..."

"—Is it Anan?"

The two looked up at the same time.

A middle-aged woman in her 50s and [-]s was standing at the intersection, also looking at this side.

After confirming her identity, a smile appeared on her face.

"It really is Anan."

"Aunt Ji Zi!"

Minami Noma gave Soya a look, indicating that we will talk later, and then went up to meet him.

"I thought that Anan came here alone as usual, and I didn't dare to confirm it at first."

"They are all my students, and they are also helping the shrine, so come and have a look."

Kawata Kiko looked at Soya, and the two girls who came over quickly, nodded and smiled.

"They are all beautiful children, welcome."

"Hello……"

After receiving his niece, Kwata Kiko took a few people to the village.

The small bridge made of prefabricated cement boards has been weathered and is already mottled, with a hole the size of a basketball in the middle.Several people walked by one by one, and the stream below was gurgling and crystal clear.

"It's a pity that Anan didn't come here in a maiden costume this time."

"Forgive me. As soon as the little ghosts in the village saw the witch, they all surrounded her, and their hands and feet were dishonest."

"There are no children now, they have all gone outside."

"That's right, I came here during the summer vacation before..."

After crossing the bridge, you can already see the village not far away.

The old-fashioned Japanese houses are scattered in twos and threes. The connection with modern civilization seems to be only the signal tower on the hill in the distance, and the telephone poles in the village.

"Come to my house and sit for a while."

"It's been a long time since I went to Auntie's house..."

Entering the village, the road inside is paved with cement instead, and it is very neatly repaired.Not far away, a hot spring hotel came into sight of Soya and the others, next to a small grocery store.

After approaching, Noma Minami suddenly said: "More than 20 years ago, it seems that someone planned to develop a hot spring scenic spot here, but it was stopped within half a year."

Soya asked, "Why?"

"Investors went bankrupt and jumped off the building with the Japanese economy."

"..."

"This is the only hotel that was built back then. Now when tourists come here occasionally, they will stay here."

Bypassing the hot spring hotel, the Kawata family's house is not far away.A few people went in to rest, and Kawada Jizi also talked about the reason for letting his niece come over at this time.

"A few days ago, when it was raining the most, a young woman came to the village. There was a "goddess soup" in the back mountain that had been dried up for many years, and suddenly the spring water gushed out again, and the woman had been soaking in the hot spring .”

"After the rain stopped, the woman disappeared, and the 'Goddess Soup' stopped gushing hot springs... The old people in the village are very concerned, so I want Anan to come and have a look."
