Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 342
Kyoto.

A tram came galloping from the direction of Osaka, and when it got near the station, it started to slow down again.

"Kyoto Station——Kyoto Station, here—"

After the tram came to a complete stop, they dragged their luggage out of the car, and squeezed onto the Biwako Line tram at another platform. The Yoshikawa family was a little depressed.

"There are too many people..."

Yoshikawa Aoko didn't grab a seat and could only stand.

"Because it's coming to the Obon Festival, these are people who, like my sister, choose to go home during the Obon Festival."

"Where do you go if you don't go home for the Obon Festival? Even so, there are too many people - get up and let me sit for a while."

"No."

Returning to Kinki from Hokkaido, the high temperature and high humidity alone made Hongzi feel weak. The carriage was still full of people, and the smell was quite subtle. After finally occupying a seat, she would not let her go.

The younger sister is weak and can't be counted on, so Qingzi changed her target again: "Mom..."

"When Aoko was working in Tokyo, she sat in the office all day, didn't she? It's easy to become sub-healthy. Now just stand for a while." Mrs. Yoshikawa didn't want to wake up either.

"Eh? What does this have to do with going to work? Dad...don't pretend to be asleep, I've seen you peeking at me."

Mr. Yoshikawa thumped his waist, "My waist still hurts."

"..."

Yoshikawa Aoko let out a long breath, grabbed the armrest tightly, and didn't want to speak.

Departing from Kyoto, the tram passed one stop after another, and some passengers got off on the way, Qingzi finally squeezed into an empty seat, and there were two middle-aged people between him and his sister.

"Speaking of which, Soya-kun has come back from the northeast, right? Will he come to the station to pick up Hongzi?"

My sister can chat with her through strangers like no one else, but Hongzi can't do that, so she turned her head and said after she asked again: "No way."

"why?"

She tilted her head awkwardly, "It's only strange that you'll come over."

"Isn't Hongzi planning to stay with him for a few days? Just asked Soya-kun to come over and help with the luggage."

The middle-aged uncle sitting next to him moved his ears, and Hongzi always had the feeling that he was waiting for him to speak, so he kept silent.

"Hongzi?"

"You are so annoying."

"Mom, Hongzi has reached the stage of rebellion."

"You are so annoying."

"mom?"

After another stop, the two middle-aged people in the middle got out of the car, and Qing Zi moved over immediately.

"Our family is finally reunited."

"Isn't brother-in-law still in Tokyo?"

"Fleeing, what kind of family is he?"

"It's not my brother-in-law's fault that I was suddenly called back to work overtime..."

Qingzi raised his hands to plug his ears.

Hongzi rolled his eyes, then kept silent.

"Is Zongya-jun really not coming to pick up Hongzi?" Qingzi recalled the question just now.

"I'm going to spend the night at Akane's house, not Soya's." There was no one around, and the communication between Hongzi and her sister became smoother, "And I haven't told Akane yet."

The Obon Festival is approaching. After thinking about it, Mrs. Yoshikawa decided to go back to the country for a few days.

Because her sister came back, and because she had lived at her grandmother's house for a few days, Hongzi didn't plan to go there, and wanted to stay at her best friend's house for a few days.

"Isn't that a meaning?"

"Different."

After a while, the tram finally arrived.

The Yoshikawa family dragged their luggage and got off the train. As soon as they walked out of the station, Hongzi was blocked by her sister who stopped suddenly.

Just about to complain, Qingzi turned around and smiled at her.

"The boyfriend didn't come, but the 'girlfriend' did."

"Eh……"

Hongzi poked her head out from the side, Kirino Akane immediately waved her hand when she saw her, "Hongzi——"

"Cy?"

Not only Akane Kirino, Hiroyuki Kirino also came over, and was still driving.

It's just that the seats in the car are limited, Hongzi only puts the luggage on the car, and chooses to walk back with Akane Kirino.

"My father and I also just came back from outside. When passing by the station, we happened to see Hongzi's parents coming out of it."

"What a coincidence. Where's Sue?"

"Sent something to a relative's house."

"That's it."

Passing by a convenience store, the two bought a bottle of cold drink each, and continued walking back.

"correct……"

Hongzi told her about her plan to stay at Kirino's house for a few days.

"Okay, no problem." Kirino Akane was very happy, "The old house is now equipped with air conditioning."

"Eh, really?"

"Yeah, I just installed it the afternoon before yesterday."

This was a surprise, and Hongzi was more than happy, "Great...but why so suddenly?"

"Because I had a premonition that Hongzi would come to live in my house."

"Hey~ Good~ High~Happy~"

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"It's because Soya said the heat was unbearable, and my mother wanted to install an air conditioner there a long time ago, so I just installed it."

"So crisp."

"right."

Hongzi asked again pretending to be casual, "Where is Zonggu, are you at home?"

"Not here."

She was a little disappointed, "Sure enough, I went to the shrine again."

"No, Soya is on duty outside."

"On duty?"

Akane Kirino nodded, "Does Hongzi want to go and have a look?"

Hongzi froze for a moment, "Okay. Where is it?"

"Heqiujiaofan (police station)."

"Eh, Jiaoban?" She was stunned again, "Is Soya staying with the police?"

"Yeah, it's amazing. Shall we go now?"

"Let's go...why is Soya where?"

Akane Kirino thought for a while, "A special method at a special time?"

Hongzi doesn't know why.

"Things from that world."

"Oh."

Koban was on the other side, and there was a little distance in the past, so Kirino Akane suggested that she go back to pick up her bicycle first, and then ride there.

"Hongzi, wait for me at the convenience store."

"it is good."

After a while, Akane Kirino rode over and took her with her.

"Isn't this Soya's car?"

"His bike is easier to ride."

After riding for a while against the sun that was approaching noon, we turned another corner, and Jiaofan was at the next intersection.

Hongzi suddenly realized that the two were doing "illegal acts", and quickly asked Akane Kirino to stop.

"Qi, you can't take people with you when you ride a bicycle!"

"Oh oh oh, I almost fell into the trap..."

Akane Kirino quickly pulled over and stopped Hongzi to get off the car.

"Cy, let's go first."

It is only a few tens of meters away from Koban here, Kirino Akane nodded and took a step ahead.

Watching her ride away, Hongzi walked over and arrived at Jiaofanqian after a minute or two.

"Hello." The young policewoman on duty inside immediately noticed her and came out to ask, "Do you need any help?"

"No, I'm here to find someone... Soya!"

Soya beckoned to her from inside, and shouted again: "Miss Chuanhe, she is also my friend."

The policewoman smiled slightly, "Come in, please."

Pushing his glasses, Hongzi lowered his head and flicked his bangs twice, glanced at his clothes, and then walked into Jiaofanli.

Akane Kirino, who came one step ahead, was sitting next to her.

"Welcome back." Sogu looked at her, "Has Hongzi just arrived here?"

"Well... the plane in the morning, I just came back from Kyoto."

Hongzi squeezed the cold drink in her hand, and kept her gaze focused on him, "Akane said Zongu is here, so I'll come and have a look."

"It's such a hot day, it's a good thing you are willing to go out..." Sogu glanced at the bicycle outside, "Did she bring you here by bicycle?"

"Yes."

"Miss Chuanhe." Soya immediately looked at the policewoman beside him, "Suspect No. [-] has confessed, please issue an arrest warrant."

The female policeman laughed, "It's just riding a bicycle to take people away, so it's not enough to make an arrest."

"..."

Only then did Hongzi realize, and gave Zongya a hard look.

"However, it is still very dangerous to lead people by bicycle."

Although it will not lead to arrest, but preaching is inevitable.

The female policeman gave several examples of tragedies caused by driving people by bicycle, and finally said to Akane Kirino who was riding a bicycle: "You don't want your good friend to be in danger, do you?"

"Yes……"

She lowered her head, "I see."

"Good boy. So be it."

Policewoman Chuanhe put on her hat, looked outside, and said, "Mr. Soya, I will leave your friend to you, but you can't stay too long. I'll go patrolling."

Soya stood up and saw him off, "Okay."

After saying hello to another middle-aged policeman who was sitting in the town, Ms. Chuanhe got on the patrol motorcycle and left.

As soon as she walked away, Soya was kicked twice.

"You're so annoying." Akane Kirino pinched him for a while.

Hongzi didn't have much strength, so he sat down next to him after kicking, "What is Soya doing here?"

"Don't pinch...Of course I'm on duty."

"You're not a policeman."

Sogu picked up the black hang tag on his chest and shook it at her, "In a sense, I am also a policeman, but I am not in charge of the affairs of the living."

"The other world is quite chaotic recently, with countless spiritual bodies coming from all directions to Kyoto, which naturally causes more frequent spiritual events than usual;

After ordinary people encounter such incidents, some will go to the shrine, and some will choose to call the police. I am here to deal with the related incidents received by Heqiu Jiaofan. "

"is that so……"

Hongzi almost understood, "Then if someone encounters a supernatural event nearby, will Soya 'call the police'?"

"No, I will first contact my colleagues who are stationed nearby, which is equivalent to a transfer station for news. If no one is nearby, then I have to go there by myself."

"How many days has Soya been on duty here?"

"Today is the second day."

"Then how many times have you called the police?"

"Twice. Most of the incidents are resolved before they reach me."

Hongzi nodded thoughtfully, "That's pretty easy."

"It's only temporary."

Zongya also has a separate small desk in Jiaofan, but there is nothing on the table except a bottle of green tea that has bottomed out, "It is a benefit for newcomers to be on duty in Jiaofan, but it is also a rotation. Tomorrow I have to go to the street to stand guard gone."

"Wow, what a tragedy..."

Soya smiled, "Come and bask in the sun with me tomorrow."

She pursed her lips, "I don't want to."

Akane Kirino had been here yesterday, and she also came to accompany him for a while this morning, and she was out of interest at this time.

"Is Soya resting until twelve noon today?"

"Ah."

"Then there are still three or four ten minutes... for lunch."

"Go to the nearby ramen shop to solve it."

"Oh." She looked at Hongzi again, "Is Hongzi hungry now?"

"I don't feel anything for now."

"Then when Soya gets off work, let's go eat ramen together."

"Okay."

Soya pointed to the outside, "If you want to stay here, you can park in another place."

Kirino Akane nodded, got up and went outside to move the car.

"Where should I stop?"

"Whatever you want, preferably a place without the sun."

She looked around, and soon found a shady place, and rode over there, "Wow, my butt is so hot!"

Moving the stool, Hongzi sat down opposite Soya.

"It feels quite magical..."

"I felt the same way yesterday."

Looking at the listing on his chest, she held her chin, "It's pretty decent."

"The policeman is also a civil servant. Do you want to go to the police academy in the future?"

Hongzi rolled her eyes, "I will die."

"It's not that exaggerated."

"No."

Soya smiled, and picked up the green tea on the table, only to realize that he had finished drinking it.

"Sit down for a while, I'll go buy a bottle of water."

Hongzi nodded, and suddenly realized that she was holding a bottle of cold drink in her hand.

"Do you want to drink...Although I have already drunk it."

Looking at her, Sogu took a drink or two, "Thank you."

Hongzi wanted to pretend nothing had happened, but she still smiled.

"Just take it as condolences."

"Then I'll treat you to ramen for lunch."

Parking the bicycle to the side of the road where the sun can't be seen, Akane Kirino quickly returned to Jiaofan with a bottle of green tea she just bought in her hand.

"It's so hot..."

Passing the green tea to Sogu, she sat down beside her and fanned herself with her hands.

"Thank you." He opened it and took a sip.

After a while, the policewoman Chuanhe finished her patrol and returned to Jiaofan.

"Sorry, Ms. Chuanhe, the two of them are going to wait for me here to have lunch together." Soya said.

"It's okay." Ms. Chuanhe took off her police cap, raised her chin inside, and smiled at the three of them again, "The deputy director didn't say anything, and of course I don't mind. But Mr. Soya is really welcome."

Soya just smiled.

With about 5 minutes left before the break, Heqiu Jiaofan received a police report.

"Heqiujiaofan, this is the Near Lake Police Station, at..."

Hearing the "spiritual event" in the bulletin, Soya sighed, and immediately concentrated again, listening to the follow-up content.

Ms. Chuanhe carefully asked about the time and place of the incident. After the briefing was over, Soya nodded to her before saying anything, "I understand."

"Okay, then please Soya-kun."

Thinking back to the stationed personnel near the incident site, Soya looked through the address book, and quickly dialed the number.

"Miss Kaori Ono, I'm Soya. A supernatural event happened at Ms. Kawasumi's house at No. 28, 28-chome Seven-Banchi. Please go over now and take a look... Well, on the [-]th, the person involved is Ms. Kawasumi."

After getting a reply, Soya hung up the phone and said to Hongzi who was looking at him, "That's it."

She nodded, "It's pretty easy."

"The premise is that there are colleagues nearby and they are not busy, otherwise I have to go there by myself."

"Are they all witches from Fuyun Shrine?" Hongzi asked again.

"How is it possible? There are only a few people in our shrine. The priestesses in Heqiu Town are all dispatched from other shrines. I have only met the one I contacted just a few times."

"Oh... so where is Sugawara-senpai?"

"Kyoko? She's on duty on the street over in Yasu Town."

Hongzi nodded without asking further questions.

A few minutes later, at twelve noon, Soya stretched his waist and announced a rest.

"Miss Chuanhe, I'm going to eat first. It's at the ramen shop over there. If there is any new situation, please contact me."

"Ok."

On the way, Soya received a call from Kaori Ono.

"Ms. Kawasumi's house does have traces of spirit activity, but the spirit has disappeared. It should be just a prank when passing by."

"Is it like this again...I see. Thank you for your hard work."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After hanging up the phone, Hongzi asked, "How's the situation?"

Sogu shook his head, "Run away if you make a mess, there is no follow-up."

"That's quite troublesome..."

"It's rather annoying."

The ramen shop is just ahead, Sogu quickened his pace, "It's equivalent to an invisible thief breaking into your house, rummaging through boxes, overturning vases, breaking dishes, and then you have nothing to do with him, you don't even know how old he is. what kind of..."

"Stop talking." After substituting a little, Hongzi was already angry.

When they came to the ramen shop, the three of them sat at the bar and each ordered a bowl of ramen.

"If you catch a disturbing spirit body, will you lock it up?"

"Where is it closed?"

Hongzi was taken aback for a moment, "A special prison... what?"

"When a living person is imprisoned, at most there will be some emotional changes, and when the spirit body is emotional, it will mutate. Do you still remember the Warring States armor with a samurai sword that almost killed Hongzi? That It's the result of the mutation."

Zongya took out his mobile phone to look at it, put it down and continued, "In special times, there are not enough manpower. Of course, the standard for dealing with spirit bodies will also be adjusted."

"Expulsion?" Hongzi guessed.

"wipe out."

"If you make trouble, you will be wiped out..."

"It's just one step into a house and it's destroyed."

Hongzi opened his mouth, and said after a while: "If there is a spirit entity making trouble in my house, I will also want to destroy him after I catch it...but if we just pass by, we don't even know it, so should we also destroy it?"

"Preventing problems before they happen. You can also understand that this is a means to reduce the probability of incidents from the source when there are insufficient manpower."

Hongzi expressed her understanding.

"However, the existence of spirit bodies can't walk well in the first place. Anyway, they won't be seen by ordinary people, and they won't be blocked, so they have long been used to things like passing through the door?"

"Mostly so." Soya nodded, "So we will warn you in advance."

"warn?"

"Spiritual bodies want to enter Beijing for a carnival. We will not stop them, and we can't stop them. We can only set up checkpoints on the only way to Kyoto to warn all kinds of spiritual bodies passing by not to disturb the people."

He glanced at the phone again, "The spirits that can come to Kinki, we all assume that they have been warned on the way. We will not be polite if we know what to do."

Hongzi nodded and said no more.

The ramen for the three of them arrived one after another, and Soya ate it very quickly, finishing it in a few minutes.

"I'm going back."

"Eh……"

Hongzi was stunned for a moment, and he paid the bill and left.

"Let's eat slowly." Akane Kirino said, she was used to it in advance.

Hongzi didn't turn around until Soya's back disappeared.

"it is good……"
