Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 304 Colleagues Meeting

Accompanying Kyoko to fax all the information that needs to be answered, Soya sat in the Japanese room next door for a while.Only Minami Noma and Hasegawa remained inside, while Hanai and Reiko Kobayashi were outside receiving worshipers.

After chatting for a while, Minami Noma invited Soya to have a dinner at night.

"Forget it, I can't drink."

"I won't come to you if I want to drink. I'm also a teacher after all, and I still know how to behave."

"..."

Soya has countless examples from his own experience to refute, but it's useless to talk too much, so he doesn't bother to open his mouth.

"Aren't you coming? Kyoko is coming too."

Jingzi looked at the two of them, "It's just for dinner."

"Don't worry. It's a newly opened restaurant near my house. I just want to taste it. It's boring if there are fewer people."

Seeing this, Zongya agreed in his heart, but there was still one problem.

"If it's near Miss Noma's house, will you send us back after the dinner?"

"I will send it, I will send it... You are so troublesome."

So Soya was not in a hurry to go back.He sent a message telling Akane Kirino and Zhao Wuling that he would not go back to eat at night, and he stayed until the closing time before getting in the car driven by Noma Minami and going down the mountain with the witches.

At Sugawara's house, Yuzi reluctantly got out of the car and turned around every three steps.

"Who knows when I will be back, you can't blame me..."

Minami Noma stepped on the accelerator, and the car started to move again, "Speaking of which, Kyoko, isn't your palace secretary's father controlling Yuzi more and more strictly now?"

Kyoko didn't speak, Minami Noma just took it as her acquiescence.

"Obviously still a child."

Of course Soya knew the reason, and interjected: "I probably don't want Yuzi to be spoiled by Ms. Noma."

"Hahaha." Minami Noma smiled and glared at him, "But, for a child with that kind of character, if you control him too much, it will backfire."

Sogu turned his head and looked out the car window, Yuzi had already returned to the house, "It's useless to tell me."

Minami Noma didn't say much, and concentrated on driving.

After more than ten minutes, the surrounding scenery gradually became unfamiliar.The car stopped at the intersection of red lights, Soya looked outside, Minami Noma looked at him, and the people behind him, "After dinner later, do you want to come to my house?"

"Okay." Hasegawa was the first to respond, and Hanai and Kobayashi also nodded.

Seeing that Kyoko also agreed to come down, Soya said hello.

"It's over there." Minami Noma pointed casually, and Soya looked over, and saw several apartments standing at different heights in the distance, and she didn't know which one she was referring to.

After passing the intersection, Noma Minami drove another way, and then turned into an alley.

"It's not easy to turn around inside." Huajing reminded.

"It's okay, you can drive directly ahead, and you will arrive at my house after turning a corner."

Moving on, she stopped in front of a restaurant, "Here we are."

After getting out of the car and entering the store, Minami Noma walked in front, and said to the clerk who came up, "I am Noma who made an appointment this afternoon."

"Okay, please come with me."

The cooking house has two floors, and Noma Minami didn't specify it. The store arranged a box near the courtyard at the bottom.

"It's just a little more comfortable during this period. In a few days, the soul sacrifice will almost start. I don't know how busy it will be." Minami Noma found a place at the dining table and sat down, sighing .

The sign of the start of the Soul Worship is the activity of the spirits in the world, but it is not easy to detect at the beginning, so the specific date is usually vague.

"If you want to say when it will start, only the devil knows."

Several people followed suit, Soya sat with Kyoko, Noma Minami looked at them for a while, and said, "This is the first time Soya has participated in the Soul Worship Meeting, so let's learn more from Kyoko."

"Yeah." He was very happy.

"The Soul Sacrifice lasted about ten days before and after. I remember last year..."

When Noma Minami talked about the busyness of the past years, Hanai and Kobayashi continued the conversation without saying a word.Soya listened for a while, then dragged Kyoko around the courtyard again.

"—Are you dating?"

Noma Minami was stunned for a moment, then realized that Hasegawa was talking about the two wandering in the courtyard, and turned to look outside.

As the sun sets, the courtyard gradually becomes dark, with long shadows on the wall, covered by branches and leaves, and two figures appear and disappear from time to time.

"Who knows."

She shrugged, "But since even Kyoko has admitted that he likes Soya, even if they're not dating, they probably won't be far away."

Hasegawa nodded, "I think so too."

"The time when Missy and Mr. Sugawara quarreled..." Huai hesitated to speak.

"The old and the young have their own ideas." Noma Minami paused, "In the end, this is the Sugawara family's family business, and all we can do is wait and see."

Huajing turned her head and looked outside, "I watched Jingzi grow up, no matter what, I will stand by Jingzi's side."

"Wow, won't it make you look old when you say this?"

"It doesn't matter, I'm already an old aunt."

"He's still young."

"You're not ashamed."

While the chatting in the private room didn't stop, Soya and Kyoko in the courtyard had already stayed in the dark corner for quite a while separated by a window.

"It's all sweat..." Kyoko whispered.

"It's okay." Soya hugged her from behind, lowered his head, sniffed and kissed her neck, "I like the smell of Kyoko."

She also loved his intimate touch, holding his hand, leaning back.

"Kyoko—"

"..."

The two looked at each other, Kyoko stood up straight and raised her voice, "Miss Noma?"

"Well, is it over there? It's time to eat."

"Ok."

She pulled the maiden clothes on her body, turned her head and said, "Let's go."

Soya took her hand again, "Yes."

Back in the box, several exquisite dishes have been put on the table, waiting for the diners sitting around to pick up their chopsticks to taste.

Kyoko sat down beside her, and Soya clasped her hands together.

"I'm gonna start now."

The dishes were delivered to the table one by one, exquisite and delicious, and the dinner lasted for more than two hours before it ended.

When I walked out of the cooking room, it was completely dark outside.

"I feel pretty good, especially the last dessert, which is very to my liking." Huajing said.

"If you want me to say it, you can give it seven points." Minami Noma got in the car and looked at Soya sitting next to him, "What does Soya think?"

He put on his seat belt, looked back at Kyoko behind him, and said, "My feeling is similar to Miss Noma's, but I give it eight points."

"Is the extra point because of my treat?"

"Yes."

Minami Noma showed a satisfied smile, and then started the car amidst the sound of him reminding Kyoko that the other three people were wearing seat belts, walked straight along the slightly narrow alley, turned at the exit at the end, and drove to his apartment .

Except for Soya, the maidens in the car have been here more or less a few times, and a few of them lived with Noma Minami here for a while, talking about it from a distance.

Taking the elevator from the underground garage, Soya said, "Miss Noma's apartment is quite high-end."

"Not bad, I only bought it last year, and spent most of my life savings."

Minami Noma looked at the beating numbers, "The location is also very good. During the day, you can still see Lake Biwa from the balcony."

"So you bought it?" Soya thought it was a rented apartment.

"Well, I bought it." Minami Noma nodded, "I forgot when I went to an izakaya for a drink, and I had a good chat with a house salesman. The key is that she is also very beautiful... Cough, that's not the point. In short, She said that now is a good time to buy a house, and I happened to have some spare cash, so I bought this apartment. I'm not looking for a man, I always have to buy a house."

"..."

Soya was silent.

"If she's in the space immigration business, then now is a good time to emigrate to Mars." It's not the first time Huajing heard Minami Noma talk about this, and she still couldn't help complaining.

Minami Noma smiled, "If I can emigrate to Mars, then I will definitely go."

"The Martians must welcome you very much."

"I don't know what a female Martian looks like."

Ding--

While talking, the elevator arrived.

Before getting out of the elevator, Soya glanced at the floor, "It's really high."

"The wind is quite strong." Minami Noma said.

Kyoko followed and took his hand.

Opening the door and entering the apartment, Minami Noma looked back, said to Soya who had just arrived, just take a look, and then went to pour tea.

The room was not small, and even seemed a little empty. Soya had a new understanding of Minami Noma's so-called "half-life savings".

Open the floor-to-ceiling windows and walk up to the balcony. The night wind is blowing in front of you. There is a large area of ​​darkness underneath, dotted with stars and stars. The night view is not bad.

Looking around, Soya stood by the guardrail for a while, and Minami Noma's voice sounded behind him: "Why don't you go and look elsewhere, I'm also very satisfied with the internal layout, especially the bathroom, the bathtub is huge."

He smiled, "I'm not here to buy a house."

Noma Minami also smiled, and looked back at Kyoko who was sitting in the living room, and said in a lower voice, "Sooner or later, you will have to buy it. You can't live in that little girl's house all the time, right?"

Sogu leaned against the guardrail, with the wind blowing directly behind his back, "I quite like it there."

"Who doesn't like a big house, the surrounding environment is good, and you can grow some vegetables in the backyard... But it's someone else's house after all. Unless Soya is married to her house."

"how is this possible."

"That's why, but it's still early..." Minami Noma suddenly remembered the actual age of this young colleague, "No, you are still a high school student. You should graduate from university before thinking about the housing issue."

Soya nodded, but didn't speak.

"come in."

He went back to the living room and sat down, Minami Noma poured a glass of water for each of his colleagues.

The shrine maidens continued to chat, while Soya and Kyoko listened and occasionally participated in the conversation.

In addition to Minami Noma, who works as a physical education teacher in Dangao, Miko Hanai Mayuri and Kobayashi Reiko also have their own part-time jobs. The former works as a psychological counselor in a children's welfare home in Otsu City, and the latter works in a nearby home. Working in a convenience store is not for making money, but another form of rest.

"Children's thoughts are both complex and simple. Most of the problems they encounter can be divided into several categories, and family factors have always been the first among them... The key is how to guide them to speak out..."

"For a while, I worked night shift at a convenience store, and a customer always came at two or three o'clock in the morning, and always dressed up as a bunny girl... No, no, it was a male high school student."

The respective experiences of the two also brought rich topics to the chat at this time, which always aroused continuous discussion.

Time flows slowly in the night.

During the period, Soya and Kyoko looked around in Noma Minami's apartment, but they didn't have much thought.

We chatted until about ten o'clock at night, Xiaolin yawned a long time, and Huajing also said that it was time to go back.

"Well, is it all this time...you can stay with me, there are still two rooms available."

"How to distribute?" Hanai asked.

Minami Noma looked at her, "Sayaka and I sleep in the master bedroom, Mayuri and Kobayashi sleep in one, and Kyoko and Soya sleep in the other, it makes sense."

Hanai looked at Soya and Kyoko, "What do you think?"

Soya shook his head, "Stop joking."

That's the end of the adult jokes.

Huajing wants the car keys, so she can save Noma Minami to see him off.When the few people left, Hasegawa didn't go downstairs with them, but stayed behind.

"It seems that Anan chose Miss Sayaka." Xiao Lin said in the elevator.

"It's hard to say."

Huajing shook her head, "Anan just didn't refuse...and she won't refuse. For her, maintaining the status quo is the best choice."

"Wow..."

"Xiao Lin will have to be careful of women like Anan in the future."

"Well... wait a minute, I like men."

Soya watched the beating numbers silently until the elevator reached the bottom floor.

Coming out of the underground garage and merging into the traffic flow, Hanai, who was driving, said that he would send Soya back to the nearest place first.

"it is good."

Kobayashi took the co-pilot seat, and Soya and Kyoko sat in the middle row.The street scene outside gradually became familiar, and the two held hands, enjoying the last tenderness before parting.

After a while, the commercial vehicle slowed down and turned into a slightly dark alley.

Here, it is not far from Kirino's old house, and the street lamp a few hundred meters away is the place where Soya will get off the car.

Holding Jingzi's hand, he kissed the back of her hand lightly, and said in a low voice, "If I don't go to the countryside tomorrow, I will come here again."

"Ah."

She nodded, turned her palm over again, and stroked his chin with her palm.

Walking through the alley, passing by three or two pedestrians, the distance of several hundred meters is reached in a blink of an eye.Hanai stopped the car at the intersection, opened the door, and Soya finally squeezed Kyoko's hand.

"Good night."

"Good night."

After getting off the bus, Soya watched the commercial vehicle continue to move forward until it turned.

Just as he was about to go back, someone called him from behind.

"Soya—"

"..."

He turned his head and waited for a while under the street lamp. Akane Kirino, Hongzi and Zhao Wuling came from the dim place, all carrying bags in their hands.

"It really is you." Akane Kirino smiled slightly, "When the car passed by just now, I saw the sign on it. Is it delivered directly to your home now? The treatment of civil servants is really good."

"Occasionally."

Soya also smiled, stepped forward to take the bag from Chao Wuling's hand, and found that it contained some ingredients.

"It was given by others, and my mother asked me to bring it back." Kirino Qian said.

"Have you gone to the izakaya?"

"Yeah. I'll help, and Hongzi and Ling will go to spend."

After finishing speaking, Akane Kirino couldn't help laughing.

Hongzi handed over her bag, "We just went there with Qian and stayed there until now."

The two of them are not working hard, and they can't help much, or they just help if they don't make trouble.Soya took the bag, and Kirino Akane also hung her bag on his hand.

"It's quite a lot."

"They're all vegetables, and they'll be eaten up in no time."

Soya held it in both hands without feeling heavy, and walked back.

"I don't need to buy ingredients for two or three days."

"It's not necessary, we're going to Hongzi's grandmother's house tomorrow." Kirino Qian followed up and said.

"..."

Sogu turned to look at Hongzi on the other side, "Have you decided yet?"

"Ah."

"Does Mrs. Yoshikawa know that I'll be there too?"

She looked at him, "Of course I know..."

Soya didn't ask any more questions, and continued walking forward with the ingredients.

Back at the old house of Kirino, Akane Kirino said that the vegetables would go bad after being left for a long time, and some of them should be brought back by Hongzi.

"Isn't there no one in her house?"

"No, Hongzi's parents sent us there, and they will be back the same day."

"yes."

It was getting late, and Hongzi had to go back after sitting for a while.Before he could speak, Sogu got up and went to the kitchen to get the part of vegetables that she wanted to take home, ready to send her home.

"See you tomorrow."

Kirino Akane said goodbye to her at the entrance, "Mmm, don't oversleep tomorrow."

"It will not."

As soon as she walked out of the yard, Hongzi took Soya's arm.

"Soya seemed to be relieved just now."

"Is it obvious?"

She shook her head: "It's not obvious, but I can feel it."

Soya pursed his lower lip, "If Mrs. Yoshikawa is here, I will feel somewhat uncomfortable."

"Mom is a very gentle person."

"I know, that's why I can't face her calmly."

"Because you seduced me."

"Because I didn't push you away."

Hongzi leaned closer, "Just hang out with me."

There is no point in refusing, Soya didn't even bother to say anything.

"Is this the default meaning?"

"No."

"Humph."

She held his hand, and after walking for a while, she suddenly asked, "Is Miss Sugawara also in that car just now?"

"Ah."

"Has Zongya told her that she is going to the countryside with me?" Hongzi looked at him.

Soya nodded, "Yes."

"What's your reaction, sister?"

"If I hadn't stopped you, Jingzi would have gotten out of the car and beat you just now."

"..."

Hongzi pouted, neither taking it seriously nor continuing to ask.

All the way to the end, and turned a corner.

Even in the narrow alleys, you can see the vast night sky, the moon and stars are sparse, and the clouds are floating, and there is no sign of the violent wind and rain last night.

"I like summer." Hongzi raised her head and said something for no reason.

Soya looked at her and raised his head too.

"I would also like."

When it was delivered to the door of Yoshikawa's house, the night was dark, and the Yoshikawa couple had gone back to their room to rest.Sogu didn't go in to bother, and handed the big bag of vegetables to Hongzi at the door.

"See you tomorrow morning, we'll come back after breakfast."

"Well." She looked at him expectantly, "Good night..."

Sogu raised his hand to touch her face, his fingertips brushed over her lips.

"Good night."

She was a little disappointed, but also a little satisfied, and waved him away.

Back at Kirino's old house, Akane Kirino is taking a bath, and Chao Wuling is sitting in the living room.

Soya thought for a while and sat down in front of her.
