Back at Kirino's old house, Kirino Akane and Anko were not there, only Asagiri Suzu was sitting alone in the living room.
Zong Gu sat down next to her, "Have you packed Ling's luggage?"
"Um."
Chao Wu Ling responded and looked at the uniform he was wearing.
"Memorial service."
He nodded.
After the rain, the sky cleared up, and the sun had already risen when I came back. Turning on the electric fan, Zonggu unbuttoned the top two buttons of his uniform, and then loosened his tie.
"Did Ling tell the teacher that I killed Huo Lei... No, she should be able to feel it, right?"
"Well, the teacher said you did a good job."
He smiled briefly and said, "Really?"
After looking at him for a while, Chao Wuling suddenly reached out, unbuttoned the third button on his chest, and took off the amulet.
A black willow leaf-shaped mark immediately appeared, and she touched it with her hand.
"This will give you the second divine power...it's too fast." She whispered.
"..."
Zong Gu pursed his lips and looked down at her hands, "Do you think it's fast?"
"It's just good luck that I bumped into Huo Lei this time. I don't know what year or month it will be next time I find traces of the Eight Thunder Gods."
Life is short, and he doesn't know how far luck will take him, so he can only keep opening up new paths.
"It will be found."
His cold hands pressed on the mark on his chest, as if comforting him.
"It's just a matter of time."
"Um."
Zong Gu nodded, looked at her face, and thought of something again.
"I want to ask you a favor."
She raised her eyes and asked silently.
"If I still haven't completed this matter when I die of old age, I hope Suzu can find the next person to continue this matter." Zong Gu pressed the mark on her chest and her hand, "I think,
These two divine powers will never disappear with me."
"..."
Chao Wu Ling lowered his gaze again.
"When you die, this matter will be meaningless to you."
"That's true, but it also means a lot to other people and spiritual beings in this world."
This is Kyoko's ideal, and now it is his and hers' common pursuit.
And Asagiri Suzu saw through the source of his thoughts at a glance.
"Why do you always have to be influenced by others?"
"Because until now, I am still an immature high school student." Soya explained, "In areas where I have no independent opinions, I am always easily persuaded. My experiences over the years have also made me more inclined.
The kind of future Kyoko hopes for."
He paused, "What's more, I like her."
"..."
Chaogiri Ling suddenly fell silent.
After a while, she sighed quietly.
"I don't know what to do anymore..."
"What?"
"It's nothing." She raised her gaze, "I will consider it."
Zong Gu smiled at her, "I don't know how old I can live. It's best to give me an answer within fifty or sixty years."
"good."
"...Do you really have to think about it for so long?"
She just glanced at him, then withdrew her little hand, picked up the amulet and put it on him again.
Zong Gu lowered his head, "I remember Suzu said last time that the teacher also gave you a talisman with similar effects."
"..."
Hanging up the amulet, she paused, "Do you want it?"
"No...I'm just asking casually."
After all, Emperor Ju once said that the peach tree where the amulet came from had been destroyed by her long ago.
"If there are more, I will return this amulet to Kirino."
"That's the only one left."
"All right."
After stuffing the amulet into his uniform shirt, Asagiri Suzu fastened the buttons for him.
"If this amulet breaks, I'll give you that one."
"Um."
Soya agreed, but still hoped that the amulet given to him by Kirino Akane would be safe and sound.
"Is that amulet also made of peach wood?"
"No. I don't know what material it is made of...it's very rare."
...
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, Kirino Akane and Anko returned to the old house together, and the latter was still carrying a pink suitcase in her hand.
"To avoid oversleeping, I'm going to stay here tonight," she said.
"You can set more alarm clocks."
"All the luggage has been brought over."
Zong Gu did not comment, "It's up to you."
Judging from their level of excitement, the possibility of staying up all night tonight is higher than not being able to get out of bed tomorrow morning.
He placed the suitcase against the wall and Hongzi sat down next to him.
When Kirino Akane wasn't paying attention, she whispered: "We will live together for the next few days. If you still want a knee pillow, you can come to me at any time."
"Then do it now."
"..."
She glared at him, then glanced at Kirino Akane who was standing aside.
"When Akane is not around..."
"——In the next few days, the six of us will live together." Although the knee pillow was good, Zonggu just wanted to remind her, "Be more honest."
His eyes moved, and Hongzi moved closer.
"Are Soya afraid of being noticed by Sugawara-senpai?"
"She may have noticed it."
"Then let Sugawara-senpai see it more clearly and let her realize that Soya is a half-hearted playboy."
Zong Gu looked at her, "Even so, Kyoko will not leave me."
"..."
Hongzi gritted her teeth, "What is she planning on?"
"I also want to know why Hongzi is still obsessed with me."
"Because Zong Gu also likes me." She leaned closer, "How can I give up? Even if you say you don't like me now, I won't believe it."
Zonggu was silent for a few seconds and began to answer her previous question.
"Jingzi treats me..."
"--too close!"
Akane Kirino, who was next to her, finally noticed the little movements of the two people and turned around, "What are you doing?"
"..."
Hongzi quickly distanced himself, stretched out his finger again, and poked Zonggu in the face.
"Sogu said his face was bitten by mosquitoes...there was no small bulge at all."
"Yeah?"
Kirino Akane also came over, "Let me see."
Holding his chin, she looked up, down, left and right twice, "It's true, not really."
"..."
As she held it, Zonggu didn't resist and glanced at Hongzi next to him.
"That's probably my misunderstanding."
"Where is it itchy?"
"It's not itching anymore."
"Huh……"
After that, Sogu began to pack and check his luggage to avoid discovering anything missing when he went out.
His luggage is also very simple, including a few changes of clothes including swimming trunks, personal hygiene products, and some small items such as chargers.
After putting everything in, there is still a lot of space left in the newly purchased suitcase.
But the day before he left, he suddenly realized that Tsukuyomi was unprepared for the journey in the next few days.
For example, he didn't have a suitcase, let alone a few sets of clothes that could be changed.
"Huh? It's okay if you don't take a shower. It's only a few days anyway."
"If I were your mother... forget it, your mother wouldn't be polite to you either."
It was too hasty to go to the mall to buy clothes now, so Kirino Akane picked out a few summer outfits for him from the clothes left by his uncle and aunt at the old house.
Soya watched from the side. She picked up a dress, compared it in front of her, and then moved it to Tsukuyomi's chest.
"The popular style from more than ten years ago is still well preserved. How do you like it?"
"Not bad." The monthly readers were all welcome, and all the men's and women's clothes were collected. "It looks wearable."
"That's good...ah, you can't wear men's clothes and women's clothes at the same time. I'll keep them separately for you. Where is the suitcase?"
Souya sighed.
"Where did he get his suitcase...just put it where I am."
So the remaining space was filled.
After stuffing the last dress inside, Akane Kirino closed the suitcase, zipped it up, and patted it with her hands.
"This makes sense... It was a bit too empty before."
Zong Gu glanced at her and said, "I don't know what you are pursuing."
"hey-hey."
Tsukuyomi also squatted down and pressed the thick suitcase.
"It's full..."
"full."
"Are there no other boxes?"
Zonggu squatted aside and put his arm on his shoulder.
"If you want to take your computer with you in your suitcase, I'll put it in it for you."
