Walking out of the room, Sonoya opened the door next door, Kirino Akane was wearing a quilt and holding a pillow, and immediately stood up when she saw him.
"Songgu..."
Holding the sliding door with his hand, he yawned, with a little helpless look on his face.
"coward."
“…”
Akane Kirino bulged her mouth, but she just couldn't refute it.
The summer is hot and I do nothing during the day. In order to pursue excitement, she and Hongzi picked out the most terrifying movies and watched four or five movies in a row.
The fear at that time dissipated with the screams, and the influence of horror films was never just a temporary one.
When she returned to the room at night, she closed her eyes, and her eyes were filled with automatic editing of her brain, and a collection of thriller shots filled with special effects, which were played continuously continuously.
She didn't even have a nightmare because she couldn't sleep at all.
The lights were not turned off, and she stared at the ceiling for a while. Naturally, she thought of Zong Gu in the next room, and then called.
He agreed!
"Come here." Zong Gu looked at her outside the door and added, "It's only this time today."
"Uh-huh!"
Akane Kirino walked out with her pillow in her arms, and Soya looked at the room at the end again.
At this time, everything was silent. Although the door was closed, the sound of constantly typing on the keyboard could be heard here.
It was too noisy... and it would last until two or three in the morning, otherwise she would be able to spend one night on the floor of Yuedu’s room.
In the room on the other side, Chao Wuling has not been at home for the past two days.
If I had known, I wouldn't have let Hongzi go back.
He carried Akane Kirino's bedding to his room and spread it flat on the ground. Sogo asked her to lie down in the quilt first and turn off the lights by herself.
She put down her pillow, dragged the quilt, connected the two quilts together, and then lay down.
"Switch off the lights."
“…”
After looking at her a few glances, Zong Gu didn't say anything after all, and turned off the lights.
Pick.
The room suddenly became dark, and only the sound of the electric fan was heard constantly rotating. He slowly walked to the bedding and fumbled down.
The bedding was connected, and within a while, her feet reached here and put them on the thin quilt.
“…”
The difference in sleep should be after falling asleep.
"Kyno isn't asleep yet."
"How could it be so fast?"
"foot."
"I want to confirm that Soya is still next to you."
“…”
Zong Gu closed his eyes, "Where can I go?"
"In the movie Hongzi and I watched today, we waited until midnight to come out of the closet..."
“——Stop, I understand.”
"Hey, isn't Zonggu not afraid of ghosts?"
“…”
He opened his eyes and looked to the side. After his eyes adapted to the darkness, he could also vaguely see her outline.
"Who knows something else will come out of the closet. Don't underestimate your imagination."
If the daughter of the underworld came out...
I can't think about it anymore.
Akane Kirino smiled, then stood up and faced him.
"Zonggu."
"Um."
"I don't seem to be that scared."
"Then you go back."
"I mean Zong Gu is next to me, so I'm not afraid!"
"Is that right?" Soya closed his eyes, "Then keep sleeping, and he will go to Kyoto tomorrow."
"Uh-huh."
Mosquito coils are lit by the window.
There was no air conditioner, the electric fan swung back and forth beside it, and the wind swept across the two of them in waves.
Through the quilt, her feet were placed on his calves and would tweak them a few times from time to time.
If there is a regular pattern, it will make it easy to sleep.
But no.
Unregular disturbance is the biggest obstacle to sleep.
Opening his eyes again, Zong Gu turned his head and looked at the side, "Can't Tongye sleep?"
“I’m not very sleepy…”
"But I'm already sleepy."
"Good night?"
"foot."
"but……"
"Do not move."
Akane Kirino was only honest for a while.
"I want to turn over, too..."
She thought for a moment, "Or Soya give me his hand."
"Then I can't sleep."
"I won't move."
"This is not a matter of constant movement..."
"Let's try it."
“…”
Zong Gu reached out his hand and placed it flat on the soft bedding.
Akane Kirino groped and quickly touched it, from her forearm to her palm until she held his hand.
"It's so reassuring to catch it."
She whispered softly, and pulled his hand slightly closer.
“…”
Dangerous sense of dependence.
His premonition of a certain future reduced his sleepiness. Zong Gu looked at the ceiling silently and spoke for a while.
"Go to sleep."
There was no response beside him.
The soft little hand lay quietly in his palm, and her calm breathing came from the darkness.
“…”
After struggling for a long time, the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and Akane Kirino fell asleep quickly.
After looking for a while, Zong Gu habitually wanted to turn around, but stopped quickly.
Her hand was still held by her and she could not be pulled away for the time being.
Close his eyes and he could only lie flat.
Just go to bed like this...
Buzz —
Another slight vibration came from the darkness.
Hongzi: Have you fallen asleep?
Hongzi: I can't sleep...
“…”
Looking at the message that was soon read, Hongzi, who was huddled in the quilt, curled up in the corner of her mouth.
Buzz —
At 11:47, the old house in Tongye, the second floor, and the room of Zonggu, came the second call tonight.
"Good evening……"
"Okay, you're so tall."
“…”
Her chuckling came from the other side of the phone.
"Sorry, I can't sleep... I've watched too many horror movies during the day."
Zong Gu took a deep breath, his head turned to the other side, and he had to control the volume of his speech.
"I'm already asleep."
"A lie... the news is 'read' as soon as it is sent."
He pursed his lips, regretting why he had just clicked into the dialog box.
"Although I haven't fallen asleep, it's almost done. I'm very sleepy now."
Hongzi pondered, "Yeah..."
"Good night."
"Wait a minute."
She pulled the quilt and drilled down, covering her head a little exposed and again.
"I feel like something is under the bed...I'm a little scared."
"Yes." Sonoya closed his eyes, "Maybe there is really."
“…Ahhhhh what are you talking about!”
"Shh, don't be heard by 'it'."
“…”
After a while, her suppressed voice came from there.
“…You really hate it.”
After the current conversion, the sound heard in the microphone was different from when talking to each other. Her voice sounded a little strange. Zong Gu was silent for a few seconds.
"Hongzi cried?"
"No."
"I heard it all."
Hongzi sniffed again, but she didn't really cry, and her eyes were still dry.
I was just anxious and afraid, and I felt a little aggrieved by being bullied, and I already had the feeling of crying.
"You heard it wrong..."
"Yeah."
"I heard it wrong!"
She felt a little nervous in the quilt, so she pulled the quilt off her head, and a gust of cold wind hit her face!
...It's air conditioning.
Hongzi turned over and faced the direction of the window, "I don't seem so scared when I think of Zong Gu so ruthless."
“…”
Zong Gu smiled and let out a sigh of relief, "Sorry."
"snort."
She put her cell phone next to her pillow, with hands-free on, and she closed her eyes, "Talk with me a few words and I'll go to bed, okay?"
"Um."
"Has Akane slept?"
"Already asleep."
"Uh-huh?"
"Probably...it's so late."
"oh."
Hongzi didn't think much about it. She felt the air conditioner was a little cold, so she lifted the quilt up, revealing her head.
"What is Sonoya doing?"
"Guess."
"sleep."
"I'll get you right. I'll reward you with one minute of call time."
“…”
She laughed, curled up in the quilt, trying to hug herself.
"Does Soya know what I'm doing?"
"Hass me."
"Hmph...I'm thinking about Zonggu."
"Yeah."
"What, the reaction is so dull."
"I'm so happy."
"True and false."
Akane Kirino was still asleep next to her. Sonoya couldn't turn on the hands-free, so he could only hold his cell phone and stick it in his ear.
"After all, you have to maintain a calm state to get into sleep easily."
"All right……"
Hongzi reluctantly accepted what he said, and then talked to him about the horror movies he watched during the day and his nervous mood when he first climbed into bed;
The left ear went in and the right ear came out. Zong Gu responded without saying a word, but she didn't care, after all, she looked like this in normal times.
After chatting for a while, she called him.
"Songgu..."
"Um."
"I'll get up early tomorrow and go to Kyoto. The Yamatsu tour will start at 9:00 in the morning."
"I hope you can take practical actions to support me in the early morning."
"Hmph, you can't get up."
Youyou sighed, and Hongzi lowered her voice: "I know...then that's it."
"Good night."
"Good night...you can't wait."
"illusion."
She didn't hang up the phone and paused for a few more seconds.
"There is one more thing... Let's go to Kyoto together tomorrow, so Sonya and Sugawara Senior Sister should not be too close."
“…”
Soya sighed, "バカ." (ba ka)
"Promise me."
"Kyoko won't go tomorrow."
"That's good...eh?"
Hongzi was stunned, "Senior sister won't go?"
"Um."
"Why?"
Pressing the volume button, she increased the volume of the call and waited for his reply intently, but she heard unexpected sounds very clearly.
"……Telephone?"
Akane Kirino rubbed her eyes, sat up, and looked at Sonogu, who was slightly open in her mouth under the light of her phone.
Trouble...
"who?"
On both sides of the phone, the two girls asked at the same time.
