After nightfall, Soya and Kyoko came to the underground street near the station again, which was indeed much more lively than when they came here in the morning.
There are crowds of people, and shops and snack stalls of all sizes are lined up one after another, and they are arranged on both sides of the underground street. The colorful signs and signs are dazzling and dazzling.
Standing near the entrance, the scent that floats in full layering feels, as if it mixes all the deliciousness of the underground street, making it easy to distinguish the specific content.
For example, the stall in front of you is emitting the aroma of barbecue.
Soya approached a little, Kyoko followed, her eyes swept over the menu hanging above.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, including chicken, beef, pork belly and bacon, which are connected together by bamboo sticks, which are rich in variety, and there is also a seafood stall next to it.
"Two skewers of grilled wagyu beef, two skewers of grilled pork belly... Well, I want this kind of skewers of green onions."
"Okay, it's 2,160 yen in total."
Kyoko just took out her wallet and Soya had already paid all the money, so she counted half of the money to him.
Zong Gu did not refuse, and accepted the money and said, "I will treat you later."
She looked at him and nodded slightly.
"Thanks."
It took a while for the barbecue to wait. Zong Gu turned his head and looked around, his eyes fell on the fried noodles stall not far away, and he moved away with a little regret.
no……
Although the sauce poured on when it is out of the pot looks very attractive and there are many side dishes that can be added, the fried noodles take up too much space in the stomach.
The night has just begun, and he wants to try a few more delicacies.
When he turned around, Kyoko was looking at him.
“I’ll buy it.”
"No……"
Zong Gu told her about his difficulties.
Kyoko thought for a while, "Then you need half a portion."
"May I?"
"I'll go and ask."
He continued to wait for the skewers here. Kyoko went over to ask, and after getting a ok answer, he ordered half a portion of fried noodles.
"What side dishes should I add, just take a look."
Kyoko couldn't shout loudly in front of so many people coming and going, and ran back to ask him.
“Are you a side dish?”
Zong Gu looked from a distance and saw that there were more than a dozen iron bowls containing side dishes next to the iron plate of the fried noodles stall. The range of options was really large.
"Just follow the taste that Kyoko likes."
She said "Okay" and passed again.
Before I waited for too long, the roasted wagyu beef and scallion pork belly was handed over to Soya.
He took the skewers to find Kyoko and came to the fried noodles stall. He found that the so-called half-fried noodles were also more portioned than he expected.
"Or too many?"
The owner of the fried noodle stall waved the shovel, took the time to look up at him, and then looked at Kyoko next to him.
"Young man eats a little, your girlfriend and your girlfriend eats a little, and that's about the end."
“…”
Seeing that Kyoko was silent, Soya didn't say anything.
Several folding tables were set up next to the fried noodles stall. The two of them occupied one, sat on a plastic chair, and half of the fried noodles in a paper box were quickly delivered.
I first shared the skewers. Soya and Kyoko each ate a few bites of fried noodles and saw the bottom. It was indeed not too much.
He put the last bite of fried noodles into his mouth, and Kyoko poked out her tongue and licked the corners of her lips. The slightly salty and spicy special sauce is endlessly lingering;
He raised his gaze again, and Zong Gu was waiting for her with his chin, but his eyes had already floated to the next target stall.
“…”
He came to his senses, she stretched out her arms and held a tissue she had just pulled out.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Kyoko stretched forward a little more and wiped away the sauce on the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go."
Throwing away the tissue, she picked up her umbrella and schoolbag, got up and walked forward quickly.
"Kyoko, I can't keep up."
“…”
She then slowed down and still felt her cheeks burning.
Zong Gu followed from behind and stared at her face until he was shoulder to shoulder.
"There is actually a shop for making yaki here. Buy one and try it."
"Um……"
......
Walking and stopping, the two of them ate and strolled on the underground street, and it took more than an hour to complete the whole circle and return to the entrance.
When I came to the ground, the wind kept on the dim streets and the rain was not stopped, which was much quieter than below.
After a while at the exit station of the mall, Kyoko took the initiative to speak: "Go back?"
Zonggu looked at her, "Where to go?"
"go home."
He opened his umbrella and stepped onto the wet ground.
"Let's go."
Kyoko followed behind.
When she was about to arrive at the station, she suddenly asked: "What if I don't plan to go back, what will I do if my classmate Zong Gu do?"
He stopped and waited for her, "Kyoko wouldn't make me embarrassed."
“…”
She glanced at him and followed.
When the ticket checks in and enters the station, the two of them take the tram on the Biwa Lake Line. At this time, there are still a few minutes left before departure.
There are only two of them in this carriage.
Through the car window, Zong Gu looked at the platform opposite, empty and could not see a figure.
The gaze was slightly retracted and fell on the reflection of the car window, which converged with Kyoko's gaze.
“…”
As soon as he smiled, she started laughing, and then she had to look away from looking at him.
After calming down for a while, she spoke:
"Student Zong Gu, thank you for staying with me today."
"Did you say this just now when you got in the car?"
"Yeah, thank you."
"You are welcome."
Soya turned his head and looked at her, "Have Kyoko considered how to face Mr. Sugawara?"
"As always," Kyoko said, "I will not change my plans."
"I don't think I have to be so radical..."
He paused for a moment and suddenly thought of a question, "What does Tamako think about this?"
Kyoko pursed her lips and smiled helplessly.
"Takiko said she would obey the 'winner' between me and my father."
"This little devil...is really smart."
She nodded and said, "Takiko is actually more inclined to her father's idea."
"That's because she doesn't want to take such an important responsibility."
"Um……"
Kyoko couldn't help but sigh, "She's just a primary school student."
"But Kyoko, who was a primary school student, was already thinking about saving the world."
"I can't force Tamako to think so. One day, she will find what she wants to do."
"In this case..." Soya looked at her, "Isn't Kyoko just going his own way now?"
She turned her head to look at him without saying a word.
He realized it after a while and smiled helplessly.
"Of course I won't reject Kyoko... The question is, what can I do for Kyoko in this matter?"
Kyoko looked at him, "As long as I take the matter of hunting gods seriously, I will have the confidence to continue to persevere."
“…”
It turns out that she still plans to go on her own.
"Of course, I will seriously... find the Eight Thunder Gods and restore the Huangquan to its original state, which is my business."
Zong Gu was telling her, and at the same time, he was also reminding herself, who had become a little lazy recently.
"And, I've been too gentle and casual about Master Yuedu recently..."
It is time to spur the gods and let him shift his focus back to search for the traces of the Eight Thunder Gods.
Kyoko nodded repeatedly.
Dingling--
Waiting for a while, after a rapid bell rang, the doors of several carriages were closed, and the tram slowly started.
Zong Gu turned around and approached the car window to see clearly outside the dim carriage.
Dong.
A soft sound came from beside him.
He looked over and Kyoko also put her forehead against the car window and looked outside.
