After the God's blessing, the god's chariot moved to the Imperial Vessel, and the grand ceremony in Kyoto City came to an end for the time being.
The crowds faded, and the excitement faded, while the heat in midsummer did not diminish at all, but became more and more intense.
Two or three o'clock in the afternoon is the hottest time.
Even though the doors and windows were wide open, there was no wind, and the heat and moisture mixed together filled every corner of the room, making it uncomfortable.
Tongye’s old house, living room.
He took apart the suddenly shutdown electric fan, checked the simple internal structure, and confirmed that there was no problem with the switch and the connecting line. Zong Gu spread his hands and sighed.
"It's probably because the inside of the motor is broken... I've been using it for more than ten years, and it's almost done."
Akane Kirino lay beside him, holding a round fan in her hand, slapping herself a few times, and slapping him a few more times.
"Motor...what should I do?"
“Give it away.”
"Hey, is it no longer saved?"
"It's helpful to replace it with a new motor, but it's better to buy a new electric fan just by buying it."
And that's what he planned.
Rubbing the sweat from his forehead with his arms, Zong Gu glanced at the round fan in Akane Kiri and shook his head suddenly.
"I'm so hot... there are two electric fans upstairs. Please wait, I'll wash my hands and get them down."
"Uh-huh."
She waved the round fan hard at him a few more times.
"You should make less trouble."
"Oh, I understand."
After packing up the electric fan that was no longer necessary to assemble, Soya looked at Akane Kirino's ankles, and the redness and swelling still did not subside.
Her foot was sprained yesterday morning.
The pain was not so bad at that time, and she was in a hurry to see the mountain warriors, so she didn't take it seriously;
Because of a faint pain in her ankle, she was very careful when walking. When she left Kyoto at night, the pain broke out again.
This time, the pain in the ankle continued to come and could not be stopped.
After getting off the tram, Soya carried her back to Kirino's house.
After receiving the news, Kirino Kyoko took her doctor friends from a nearby clinic home to check out, and the latter did some simple treatment for her.
"Fortunately, the problem is not serious... Pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise, and do not over-exercise. In short, Xiao Qian should have a good rest at home in the next week or so."
"good……"
After all, the pain from the ankle is real, and Akane Kirino honestly followed the doctor's advice and basically did not move.
Or, don't move by yourself.
——At around 8 o'clock this morning, she sent a message to Zong Gu, asking him to carry himself to the old house.
"Why are you here? I have air conditioning at home."
"It's so boring to stay at home alone... It's almost done with an electric fan."
Then the electric fan broke.
The old electric fan that was dismantled was temporarily thrown into the utility room, and Zong Gu went to the kitchen to wash the oil on his hands, then went to the room of Kirino Akane upstairs, and took down the electric fan that was still able to operate.
As for the broken one, it was from his room, and now he can only buy another new one.
but……
Zong Gu turned his head and looked at the yard outside. The scorching sun in the afternoon was scorching the earth, and the fluctuations of the air were visible to the naked eye. Now is not the time to go out.
"It's better to wait until the sun sets before going to the supermarket..."
"Go to buy a new electric fan?" He raised his ankle and Akane Kirino turned over the tatami, "I'll go too~"
"Crawl over?"
"Zonggu took me over by bicycle."
He sat down in front of the electric fan and pulled the collar.
"You can't even think about it."
"snort!"
When the Yoshikawa family came to their relatives today, Hongko did not come. Tsukido only went downstairs at noon and evening meals. Today, there were only Soya and Akane Kirino in the living room of Kirino's old house.
【…and then, I saw it.”】
【“How do you feel, Mr. Yamada?”】
An interview with passers-by on the streets of Kyoto was being played on TV. Mr. Yamada from Tokyo told reporters that he had finally seen the longing of Yamashiro's patrol with his own eyes, and he was very satisfied now.
"When you hear that, the Kyoto people are also very satisfied..."
"Hahaha--"
Akane Kirino lay on the tatami, watching the TV with her eyes, and would turn over from time to time, sometimes close to the Sou Valley, which also made him look at it frequently.
"Can't you be honest?"
"What?"
"Don't move around, be careful to touch your feet."
"But after lying for a while, the tatami will get hot..."
She rolled to the side again and asked him to touch the place she had just lying past with his hand.
"Just sit up."
"don't want."
Zong Gu shut up and stopped looking at her.
"I don't want to watch the news anymore, change the station."
He pushed the remote control over, and she changed several shows, and pointed to the paper bag next to the TV.
"Zong Gu, the horror movie that Hongzi brought the day before yesterday is still there."
"Um."
"I want to see."
"Yes. I'll go upstairs later to the most terrifying place."
“…”
Akane Kirino's eyes glared, then rolled over, pinched his calves, and quickly loosened.
"I am bored……"
Moving his body, the girl lay down flat and leaned on the pillow.
"I want to sleep."
"Yeah, are you going upstairs?"
"Well...Songya wants to go back to the room with me?"
“…”
He glanced at her.
“There is only one electric fan.”
"I can grab the electric fan for confinement."
She giggled for a while, "Forget it, I'll just lie in the living room for a while."
"Yeah." Soya got up, "I'll get you a blanket."
"No need."
Akane Kirino grabbed him, "It's so hot...I don't want to cover it."
He sat down, turned the sound of the TV a little lowered, and looked down at his phone.
Cicadas chirping in the yard.
On TV, live broadcast of baseball games.
The sound of electric fans.
"Will Soya not go to the shrine today?"
“It’s too hot.”
"oh……"
Buzz —
Kyoko: I understand.
Kyoko: Wait until Kirino's feet recover, Soya comes over again.
Soya: Sorry.
Putting down his phone, Zong Gu looked at the girl who was staring at the ceiling, and his eyes turned to the baseball game on TV.
["It hit! It was a home run. Now, the batter runs slowly towards the third base..."]
......
Sultry, chaotic.
A sense of oppression.
I don't know how long it took, rustling sounds kept coming, and Zong Gu opened his eyes.
“…”
The world in front of you is located on a plane called floor.
The rustling sound came from Akane Kirino. She half-kneeled on the ground, climbed to the low table, picked up the water cup on the table and started drinking it.
The breasted hot pants were very short, tightly wrapped around the back of the buttocks, unable to cover the white and well-proportioned thighs, and a pair of barefoots were facing him.
After looking in a daze for a while, consciousness gradually returned. Zong Gu closed his eyes again and turned over on the floor.
He fell asleep...
Although I don't remember when I lay down.
Opening his eyes again, Akane Kirino at the low table heard the movement and was looking back at him.
"You're awake."
"Um……"
"Songgu has slept longer than me."
"Yeah."
Zong Gu sat up with support, feeling his body aches and twisted his neck again.
"Zonggu, go pour another cup of wheat tea, I'm so thirsty..."
"Um."
He got up and found that the two cups on the table were empty.
"I also drank the wheat tea from Zonggu."
“…”
When he came to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and felt the air conditioning that was coming to his face for a while, Zong Gu took out the wheat tea and poured himself a cup.
Gulu—
His eyes drifted away from the water cup in front of him, and the sky outside the window was no longer so blue. He looked at the time again.
"Have you slept for more than two hours..."
He returned to the living room with two cups of wheat tea, and Akane Kirino took it and drank half a cup in one breath.
"ha--"
"Don't make the sound of uncle drinking beer."
"Hahaha, I'm just imitating."
Zong Gu sat down and looked at her ankle again, "Will it hurt now?"
"here?"
"Um."
"If you don't touch it, you won't feel anything."
"Continue to recuperate."
Akane Kirino nodded, "I'm going to the beach."
Zong Gu looked out at the yard, the sun was tilted and the shadows of the trees were stretched. The hottest period of the day had passed.
"It doesn't matter if you wait a few more days, you won't leave yours."
"Yeah ~"
I sat for a while, although the sun had not yet set, there was no problem going out.
Soya went to the backyard to ride a bicycle, and Akane Kirino was waiting at the door.
“…”
"Hehe. I'll be careful, it's okay."
"It doesn't matter if you have something to do. Anyway, it's not me who hurts, and it's not me who can't go to the beach."
"Songgu said just now that he would not leave me!"
After a moment of entanglement, she sat up and hugged his waist.
"Are you going to my store later? Mom said that Soya hasn't been there for a long time."
