After accompanying Kyoko to fax all the information that needed to be answered, Soya sat in the Japanese room next door for a while. Only Minami Noma and Hasegawa were left inside, while Hanai and Kobayashi were outside to receive the worshipers.

After chatting for a while, Noma Minami invited Soya to have a dinner together in the evening.

"Forget it, I can't drink."

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

"..."

Zongya had countless personal experience examples to refute, but it was useless to say more, so he didn't bother to speak.

"Are you coming? Kyoko is coming too."

Jingzi looked at the two of them and said, "It's just a dinner party."

"Don't worry. That's a newly opened restaurant near my home. I just want to have a taste. It's boring when there are not many people."

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

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

"I'll give it to you if I can... You're really troublesome."

So Soya was not in a hurry to go back. He sent a message to Akane Kirino and Suzu Asagiri that he would not go back to eat in the evening. He stayed until closing time, then got into Noma Minami's car and went down the mountain with the shrine maidens.

When they arrived at Guan Yuan's house, Yuzi reluctantly got out of the car and turned around in three steps.

"Who knows when we can come back, but you can't blame me..."

Noma Minami stepped on the accelerator and the car started to move again, "Speaking of which, Kyoko, is your Miyaji father becoming more and more strict with Tamako now?"

Kyoko didn't say anything, and Noma Minami just took her as her acquiescence.

"Obviously he is still a child."

Of course Soya knew the reason, and added: "Probably because she doesn't want Tamako to be led astray by Miss Noma."

"Hahaha." Noma Minami laughed and glared at him, "But, for a child with that kind of personality, too much control will be counterproductive."

Zong Gu looked back out the car window. Yuzi had already returned to the house, "It's useless to tell me."

Noma Minami said nothing more and concentrated on driving.

After more than ten minutes, the surrounding scenery gradually became unfamiliar. The car stopped at the intersection with a red light. Soya looked outside. Noma Minami looked at him and the few people behind him, "We will finish the dinner later.

Would you like to come and sit at my house?"

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

Seeing that Jingzi also agreed, Soya said hello.

"It's over there." Noma Minami pointed with her hand. Sogu looked over and saw several apartment buildings scattered in the distance. She didn't know which one she was referring to.

After passing the intersection, Noma Minami drove for a while and then turned into an alley.

"It's hard to turn around inside." Huajing reminded.

"It's okay. You can drive directly out from the front, turn a corner and you'll be at my house."

Continuing forward, she stopped the car in front of a restaurant and said, "We're here."

After getting off the car and entering the store, Minami Noma walked in front and said to the clerk who came up to her: "I am Noma who made a reservation this afternoon."

"Okay, please follow me."

The restaurant has two floors. Noma Minami didn't specify it. The store arranged a private room at the bottom near the courtyard.

"It's just a little bit more comfortable during this period. In a few days, the soul worship ceremony is about to start. I don't know how busy it will be." Noma Minami found a seat at the dining table and sat down, and sighed.

.

The beginning of the soul worship meeting is marked by the activity of spiritual bodies in the world, but it is not easy to detect at the beginning, so the specific date is usually relatively vague.

"Only the devil knows when it will start."

Several people followed and sat down. Soya and Kyoko sat together. Noma Minami looked at them for a while and said: "This is Soya's first time to participate in the soul worship ceremony, so just learn more from Kyoko."

"Yeah." He was happy.

"The soul worship meeting lasted for about ten days. I remember last year..."

When Noma Minami talked about the busyness of the past years, Hanai and Kobayashi continued talking word by sentence. Soya listened for a while, and then took Kyoko to walk around the courtyard.

"——Are you dating?"

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

As the sun sets, the courtyard gradually becomes dim, leaving long shadows on the wall, covered by branches and leaves, and two figures disappearing and appearing.

"Who knows."

She shrugged, "But since even Kyoko has admitted that she likes Soya, even if they are not dating, they are probably not far away."

Hasegawa nodded, "I think so too."

"The time when the eldest lady had a fight with Mr. Guan Yuan..." Huajing hesitated to speak.

"Both the old and the young have their own ideas." Minami Noma paused, "In the final analysis, this is a family matter that governs the Hara family. All we can do is wait and see what happens."

Hanai turned to look outside, "I watched Jingzi grow up. No matter what, I will stand by Jingzi's side."

"Wow, won't you look older by saying this?"

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

"I'm still young."

"You are so not ashamed."

While the chat in the box didn't stop, Soya and Kyoko in the courtyard, separated only by a window, had been staying in a dark corner for a while.

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

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

She also liked his intimate touch, holding his hand and leaning back.

"Kyoko——"

"..."

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

"Well, are you over there? It's time to eat."

"OK."

She pulled the witch uniform on her body, turned around and said, "Let's go over there."

Zong Gu took her hand again, "Yeah."

Back in the private room, several exquisite dishes have been placed on the table, waiting for the diners sitting around to quickly taste them.

Kyoko sat down next to her, and Soya clasped his hands together.

"I'm starting."

The dishes were delivered to the table one after another, exquisite and delicious. The dinner lasted for more than two hours before it was over.

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

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

"If I were to tell you, I would give it seven points." Noma Minami got into the car and looked at Soya who was sitting next to him, "What do you think of Soya?"

He put on his seat belt, looked back at Jingzi behind him, and then said: "My feeling is similar to Miss Noma, but I give it an eight."

"Is the extra point because of my treat?"

"Yes."

Noma Minami showed a satisfied smile, and then started the car as he reminded Kyoko and the other three people to fasten their seat belts, walked forward along the slightly narrow alley, turned from the exit at the end, and drove towards his apartment.

.

Except for Soya, several of the shrine maidens in the car have been here more or less several times. Some of them even lived here with Minami Noma for a while, and they talked 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 just bought it last year, and most of my life savings have been spent."

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

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

"Yes, I bought it." Noma Minami nodded, "I forgot the time I went to an izakaya for a drink, and I had a good chat with a house salesperson. The key is that she is also very beautiful... Well, this is not the point. In short,

She said now is a good time to buy a house, so I happened to have some spare money, so I bought this apartment. I’m not looking for a man either, the house has to be bought.”

"..."

Zong Gu was silent.

"If she is in the space immigration business, then now is a good time to immigrate to Mars." This was not the first time Hanai heard Minami Noma talk about this, and she still couldn't help but complain.
