People come and go in Kyoto Station, but Chao Kuritsu is petite and difficult to detect. The mutual sense of spiritualists may play some role in finding people.
——This is Kyoko's explanation to Soya after taking the tram to Kyoto.
And his reaction was a bit subtle.
"You said yes."
“…”
Fifteen minutes later, the tram arrived at Kyoto Station, and the two of them were waiting on the platform before they left the station.
Chao Wuling was already on the way here. If she wanted to take the tram back to Jinhu City, she would definitely come to this platform.
After realizing this, Kyoko stared at the railroad tracks and didn't say anything for a long time.
Fortunately, Soya had long forgotten what she said just now.
“There are quite a lot of tourists…”
Looking at the crowds coming and going on the platforms in front and behind, he thought of the Tanijima couple who went out early, "I don't know if they were going back."
"who?"
"Relatives of the Kirino family came to Kyoto for a trip and stayed in their old house these two days."
Soya looked at Kyoko, "One of them is also a spiritual scholar, but came from Saitama. Tanijima Chaoyang, did Kyoko know him?"
“Don’t know.”
Kyoko shook her head and said, "If she was born in Saitama, she should belong to the Tokyo Torurika organization."
"Yeah."
According to Kyoko, the jurisdiction of the Lingjue organization in each region is roughly the same as the actual administrative regional planning, and there is also a national general organization above it.
"The head office is established in Tokyo?"
"No, Izumo."
Kyoko said, and looked at Soya again, "This part of the basics is the document that Soyaki classmate joined the institution."
"I didn't see it."
He admitted frankly, and then said, "If you need it, I can ask Kyoko directly. In this regard, Kyoko is my most trusted companion."
She pursed her lips and smiled a little at his trust in such a small matter.
"Well, I'm a companion to Songu."
And she also found a seemingly reasonable explanation for her thoughts since today:
Because they are companions who trust each other. The intimacy that they have unconsciously arises is also part of trust.
The two of them waited on the platform for a while and sent a message to Wuling that she had one more stop.
"It is said that Senior Sister Yugong came with her."
"Yeah."
"Well, Senior Sister Yugong lives nearby."
Soon, Asakiri came to the platform where Soya and Kyoko were. The senior sister Aimiya from the Literature and Art Department held her little hand in front, like her sister.
"Student Yugong."
"Hey...you are...Sugarashi classmate."
Kyoko greeted her, Aimiya responded in a panic, and looked at Soya again - he often went to the Literature and Art Department to look for Asukiri, of course she knew him.
Why was he with Sugawara classmate?
Looking at Kyoko's fresh casual clothes, she suddenly had a guess: Could it be that she was dating?
But neither of them made any explanation, and Yugong didn't ask much.
"Then I'll say goodbye first."
After staying for a while, Ayumiya said goodbye to the three of them, and then said to Asukiri, "I am really happy to be able to go to the museum with my senior today. See you in school."
“…”
Kyoko glanced at her and cared about the confusing relationship between them, while Soya next to her was already used to it.
He looked up at Yugong at Wuling and nodded.
"Me too."
After saying goodbye again, Yumiya left the platform with a full face full of excitement.
Not long after, the tram where the three of them returned also entered the station.
Soya pulled Chao Muling to find a seat to sit down. There were many seats left, and Kyoko sat down next to him.
Through Zonggu, the two looked at each other at the same time.
"What's wrong?" He looked around and looked.
Both of them shook their heads.
The tram started, left the bright station, and got into the darkness again.
It was getting late, and there were few passengers in the carriage where the three of them were sitting scattered, either looking at the phone or looking out the window, without disturbing each other.
The tram moved forward and noticed something when he lowered his head to Wuling. He raised his hand and lit it on the cuff of Zonggu.
There was a dark red stain there, a bit like dry blood.
"It's OK. This is the soup that is stained during lunch and it's easy to wash off."
She nodded and when she retracted her arm, the pendants hanging on her handbag collided with each other and made a slight sound.
Zong Gu took a look and found that there seemed to be two unseen pendants, which should be souvenirs sold in the museum.
"Senior Suzu and Arimiya, have you been staying in the National Museum today?"
"Have a meal."
"Of course not including when eating..."
She nodded.
"What did you see?"
"The thirty-six Immortal Paintings of Haram. Buddha Statue Exhibition. Qi Baishi Painting Exhibition..."
Chaowuling has a good memory and tells all kinds of artworks he has seen during the day.
Zong Gu listened aside, and occasionally she would raise her head and tell him with her eyes that the collection she had just introduced was from the hands of a friend she knew back then.
"The harvest is really great. Are you happy?"
"Um."
"I want to thank Senior Sister Yugong for the invitation."
He nodded again at Wuling and looked up at the car window opposite.
No matter how the night scene outside retreats and stays away, her phantom never changes.
Time stopped flowing on her, which also made her more sensitive to the flow of time.
"I hope she can live a long life."
......
After arriving at the station, Kyoko got off the bus first.
When they parted, Soya thanked her for taking a day to accompany her, and Kyoko just shook her head slightly.
"I had a great day...thank you."
"See you in a few days."
She glanced at him, but stopped talking.
The tram that was temporarily parked did not give her much time to hesitate, so she had to get off first after the bell rang.
"……goodbye."
Only Kyoko, the platform disappeared from sight, Soya retracted her gaze.
The ground suddenly sank on his shoulders.
He leaned up to Wuling and closed his eyes.
"Are you tired?"
"Um."
After all, it was still early. Zong Gu was still energetic because he had a nap in the tent in the afternoon.
The distance between the two stations was coming in a blink of an eye. The two got out of the car and left the station. Zong Gu consciously squatted down and raised his fog-bell on his back.
"Hold tight."
"Um."
The bright moon is sent.
At night, the thick clouds in the sky dissipated, and there was another clear sky.
“It looks like…”
Zong Gu looked up and lowered his head, "Forget it, I can't see it. It was the same last night, and it still rained today."
Chao Wuling moved a little behind her and listened to him continue.
"Kyoko and I were walking by the lake, and we couldn't even find a place to hide from the rain, and we were all wet."
“…”
She raised her hand and touched his forehead.
"How about it?"
“A little hot.”
"That's because Ling's hands are too cold."
"I'm dead."
"Isn't this still alive?"
Zong Gu held her up, "It felt a little heavier than some time ago... it hurts."
The hand that touched his forehead fell down, pinched his cheek, pulled it twice before letting go.
"I got it...it's probably an illusion."
"Um."
Her hand touched his forehead again.
"It's okay. After getting wet in the rain, I went to a nearby hotel to take a hot shower."
Chao Wuling said nothing, hugged his neck again.
The two returned to the old Kirino house, Tanijima and his wife had already returned, and Akane Kirino and Akiko Yoshikawa were still sitting in the living room here.
"Songgu..."
Looking at the girl on his shoulder, Akane Kirino suddenly lowered her voice, "Is the bell asleep?"
Zong Gu turned his head and took a look. No wonder her hands slowly relaxed on the road.
After visiting the museum for a day, she was probably really tired.
"I'll send the bell back to the room first." He whispered.
Akane Kirino and Yoshikawa who came up to him both nodded, but did not follow.
When he arrived at Chao Wuling's room, Zong Gu put her down, took out the bedding and spread it out, took off his coat, and carried her into the bed.
The inevitable movement made her slightly awake.
The conversation requires thinking and will dispel more sleepiness. Zong Gu just rubbed the back of his hand against her face, and then stood up and left.
When the door was about to close, he saw her struggling to sit up and start taking off her clothes.
“…”
Zong Gu shook his head and brought the door with him.
