In exchange, Soya will follow the two girls to go to the countryside where Hongzi's grandmother's house is located to escape the summer heat. Hongzi also began to cooperate with him and persuade Akane Kirino indirectly that the summer vacation is precious and Kanto is not worth going there. It will affect the accompanying person instead.
Zong Gu's itinerary is all the way.
Seeing the two performing in turn, Akane Kirino's eyes turned around, but she didn't agree.
"...Okay." Zong Gu finally felt tired and looked at the time, "It's almost eleven o'clock, and it's time for you two to go back to your room."
"I'm not sleepy yet."
"Me too."
He yawned, turned his back to them.
"But I'm already sleepy. Good night."
Even though Hongzi said he would come to attack at night while he was asleep, he ignored it. The two of them didn't care about him anymore and continued to talk about the topic just now, but their voices were much lower.
Between the three of them, the dim desk lamp was still persisting.
The electricity that was shut down for a night has not yet recovered.
In the innermost room on the second floor, Yuedu monitored remotely for several hours, but she couldn't understand it at all. She didn't understand the progress of the emergency repairs and was already asleep.
"Then, I'll..."
As they were chatting, Akane Kirino suddenly yawned, "Hongzi, are you sleepy?"
Hongzi's heart thumped, and his vague consciousness suddenly became awake, "I'm still very energetic."
"Yeah."
Akane Kirino turned over and lie down in a more comfortable position. Looking at the dark ceiling, after a while, she said, "The rain outside is still very heavy, I'm really worried about the tomatoes in the ground."
"Ah?...Well, it's not good to have too much rain."
"Is Soya asleep?"
Hongzi turned her head and glanced at the back of his head, "I haven't moved for a long time, I should have fallen asleep."
"Are we going back to the room?" Akane Kirino asked casually.
Her heartbeats faster, Hongzi answered her in a more casual tone as much as possible: "Stay for a while."
"oh."
Akane Kirino said nothing, but turned her head on the pillow, closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the rain, until she floated up and flew into the shiny raindrops under the sun.
"Hehe..." She suddenly laughed.
"Ani?"
Hongzi turned her head and looked for a while, and found that she had closed her eyes.
"Xiang, let's go back to the room?"
She tilted her head, and she had a few strands of hair in her mouth, but she still didn't respond.
After waiting for a while, Hongzi was convinced that her best friend was already asleep, so she slowly moved to the side.
After a little distance, her movements became bolder, she lifted the quilt and sat up.
The lights placed in front of the bedding stretched out her shadow. Looking around, she was her favorite person on both sides, and she should have been asleep at this time.
"Songgu..."
Her heart was pounding, and she just wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get closer to him.
As soon as he moved, the already dim desk lamp suddenly became darker and the light quickly converged until there was no light at all.
——I persisted for most of the night and finally ran out of power.
This was like an ominous sign that made Hongzi hesitate for more than half a minute, but she couldn't completely scare her off.
The complete darkness also makes it easier for her to approach him and hide herself, she said in her heart.
She slowly crawled over, and when the falling palm touched the bedding instead of the floor, she stopped again and groped carefully.
“—Didn’t you say you want to go back to your room?”
“…”
She was startled, then relaxed, stopped exploring slowly, and lay directly beside him.
"Songgu is still awake... she fell asleep a little."
He turned sideways and didn't move, "What are you going to do?"
She pressed her back, hugged his waist, and fumbled her hands again, poking her heart.
"Night attack."
"OK, I'm dead. Hong Midnight attacked successfully and can go back to the room now."
“…”
Hongzi smiled softly, then put her legs on and hugged him hard for a while as if he was venting.
After letting go a little, she moved up again and lowered her voice: "Talk to Zonggu for a few more words and I'll go back."
Zong Gu leaned over his head and grabbed her hand, "What else do you want to talk about?"
"For example, Sunya's summer vacation plan," she said.
"Didn't you finish the conversation just now?"
At this time, only she was talking to him in close contact, and Hongzi stopped dealing with him and asked directly: "Does Zong Gu plan to go to Kanto with Senior Sister Guanyuan?"
Zong Gu was silent for a few seconds.
"I just have this plan, and I haven't told Kyoko yet."
"I know." She was not surprised at all. She had already thought of this possibility when he agreed to go to the countryside together.
"It's only two or three days at most, and I don't plan to stay in Kanto for too long." Soya said, "Kanagawa and Ibaraki, I only go to these two places."
"We are all in the Tokyo metropolitan area, why don't you go to Tokyo to take a walk?"
"I'm afraid that after going to a big city like Tokyo, I won't want to go back to the countryside."
"Ha ha."
She laughed twice, put down her legs that were on his waist, moved her body up again, almost pressing against his ears, saying, "Tokyo is the countryside."
Soya shrank his head, "You are not from Kyoto, what are you proud of?"
She suddenly took a light bite and said, "You have to care."
There were no bite marks, a trace of wetness remained on the ears, but the exhaled heat came in unhinderedly, penetrated into the internal organs, and wanted to boil blood. Zong Gu struggled, swung his arm back and hit her chest.
"Um!"
Hongzi groaned and didn't say anything for a long time. Maybe she was hit hard.
After a while of silence, Zong Gu turned over and touched her face in the dark with Mohu's vision and a little intuition. He felt that his palms were hot.
"...what do?" When she spoke, her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it.
"The face is so hot, see if you burn your head."
“…”
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zong Gu didn't say much, and instead advised her to go back: "Go back to the room."
She had no way of judging whether he noticed it or asked.
"Stay for a while... it's not until twelve o'clock yet."
However, Zong Gu could no longer allow her to continue to get close to her, nor could she let herself go. She was thin and looked close to her body. She would sooner or later become intentional.
He sat up, covered her thin quilt, and then picked up his cell phone and took a look.
"It's only been ten minutes."
"Then wait for these ten minutes to go and talk about it."
With the light of the screen, he looked at Akane Kirino on another quilt. Most of her face was buried in the pillow, and she was sleeping soundly without being disturbed.
Zong Gu sat, Hongzi didn't get up, and lay next to him.
When the desire that was awakened unexpectedly gradually became quiet, she raised one hand and slowly stroked his strong back.
"I don't want to do anything...I don't want to do anything at all. I mean, there aren't too many ideas now...I just want to get closer to Soya..."
She lay on his pillow, half-lifting her arms, only stroking her back and forth within a range she could touch. Occasionally, she was feeling his strong body and warmth.
"Just like now... Can Soya understand?"
Zong Gu sat down without moving, and looked back. In the darkness, no one could see who was looking clearly.
"I guess so."
After sitting like this for half a minute, he slowly lay down and said nothing.
Hongzi quickly understood that this was his response, so she just leaned on it and did nothing else.
"Don't fall asleep here."
"Joya is still awake."
Zong Gu shook his head, saying that he just couldn't guarantee that he could stay awake all the time.
Hongzi raised her head, looked at the vague silhouette in the darkness, and after a while, she spoke, "I have a problem."
"You have to say it so that I can decide whether there is an answer to this question."
"Hmph... Look at your guard."
"I don't want to lie to you."
Not lying to her does not mean that she will not hide it. Hongzi was half happy and half dissatisfied with such an answer, but she quickly threw it behind her.
“Things that have nothing to do with love.”
Zong Gu was obviously relieved, "Then ask."
"Who is the confinement school?" Hongzi asked.
“…”
This question is even harder to answer.
He opened his mouth and was still organizing language. She added to the question: "What does it have to do with the great master of reading in the myth?"
Halfway through the organization's concealment had lost its meaning. Zong Gu immediately realized that she had occasionally let go of her words, but she noticed it;
Whether it is going to Kyushu or the next Kanto, it is all for the purpose of visiting the Moon-study shrine. With her smart mind, it is easy to think of something.
"Can Hongzi keep the secret?"
"Of course, if it was Zong Gu's request, I wouldn't tell anyone even if I die... unless you break up with me."
“…I haven’t even started dating yet.”
"It's good that you can understand the meaning."
Zong Gu sighed and said after a while: "The confinement is the moon, one of the three noble sons born from Yin Xie, the founding father, is the god with the least sense of existence."
“…”
Despite the vague speculation, Hongzi was still so surprised that she couldn't speak for a long time when she heard him revealing Yue Du's identity.
"Really, Lord God?"
"Um."
"Divine...is there any proof?"
"My words are proof."
Hongzi smiled, took a deep breath, and then said after a while: "I can't believe it."
Unbelievable, she believed it very quickly. Her experience over the past six months has greatly improved her ability to accept unknown things. What's more, the "god" has long been one of the unknown things that has certainly existed in Zonggu's mouth, but it is just mentioned in daily life.
Very few.
Sonoya looked at her, "Although it was unbelievable, it was the truth."
"It looks like a squat at home."
"In fact, it's just a squat at home."
In the room next door, the sleeping Yuedu scratched her butt and turned over again.
Hongzi stood up sideways and hugged Zong Gu's arm, "Since he is a god, why are he mixed with Zong Gu?"
"Because at the beginning of creation, Yuedu was already dead. Something happened after that, and following me was his only choice in his helplessness."
She was stunned, "Hey..."
"He is no longer the original Yue Reading, and now this body is recondensed." Zong Gu said, "and the 'raw material' is human belief in the concept of the 'Divine Yue Reading'. We are running around all over the world.
, in order to gain this power of faith, let Yuedu gradually restore his divine power to achieve more goals."
"In other words, does he have no power of a god now?"
"He has no such ability that Hongzi has."
Hongzi was silent for a while before slowly digesting this matter, and many things that were originally strange were answered at this time.
"After that being said, Senior Sister Guan Yuan had known that he was a god for a long time?"
"certainly."
"Why don't you tell me and Akane?" she asked again.
Soya explained: "Because for the spiritual enlightened beings, gods only know that they exist, but they have never really seen them. When you and Kirino first came into contact with the other side of the world, I don't want you to become confused because of this.
”
"Even now, I'm still a little confused." Hongzi murmured.
"Kyoko accepted it very quickly."
“…I’m not confused.”
Sonoya smiled.
Hongzi thought for a while and asked, "Zong Gu is unwavering in his senior sister. Is it because you have a common pursuit in this matter?"
"No, these are two different things. I am attracted by her and simply like her."
"Oh." She felt that she was asking for trouble.
Zong Gu looked at her and reminded: "In addition, don't take the initiative to tell Kirino about this, she will be in chaos. When she noticed it herself, tell her."
Hongzi nodded and agreed.
"Then you can go back to bed."
"...You are so ruthless!" She immediately repented, "I'm going to tell Akane now."
Sonoya yawned a long time, "Well, I was going to wake her up. You both have to go back to your room to sleep."
“…”
The threat did not work, and Hongzi felt even more upset, so she decided to be willful for a while - lying down and not moving.
"Don't fall asleep here." Soya reminded again.
"As long as Zong Gu is still awake," she said again.
"I'm really sleepy now." He sat up and glanced at the time, "and it's already twelve o'clock."
Hongzi spread her arms and said, "Hug me over."
"You think beautifully."
"Then I'll sleep here."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Then I'll go to the next room, good night."
“…”
Zonggu stood up and Hongzi grabbed his ankle.
"Xian said that Sonogu carried her for more than ten kilometers last night, and it was only a few steps to carry me back to the room."
"More than ten kilometers? Why didn't she say that I flew back with her on my back?"
She held his left ankle tightly, "Anyway, I've walked a long way, and I'm jealous."
“…”
Zong Gu pursed his lips and looked down at her for a while, "I may not be able to hold her."
She still grabbed his ankle, just changing from grip to pinch.
"...You take this sentence back to me."
"I'm serious. Holding and backing are completely different, it depends on the strength of the arm."
"I believe in Soya's arm strength."
"I don't really believe in your weight... it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and
She pinched her for a while before letting go, and then touched his calves to show comfort and encouragement.
"If Zong Gu doesn't carry me back to the room today, I will leave a shadow that I will never forget in my life."
Zong Gu clenched his fists and let go again. He repeated several times to confirm that he was not soft-hearted.
"It's too exaggerated."
"That's how girls are."
"I think the shadow left by the fact that I can't hold it is bigger."
Hongzi muttered, "Then let me die."
He squatted down and patted her bare legs, "What nonsense."
After waiting for a long time, when he really wanted to take action, Hongzi became shy.
"Do I want to stand up... It seems that it will save some effort."
"If I can't hold it."
One hand passed through her back and reached her armpit, the other hand passed through her leg bend, Zong Gu exerted force with his waist and abdomen, and raised his arms up, unexpectedly and easily hugged her up.
“Ahhh…”
Hongzi couldn't help screaming in a low voice, her heart was excited, but her body was tense because of tension.
“Relax a little more.”
Zonggu looked down at her, "I can hold her."
"Um……"
Hongzi slowly relaxed, letting his legs, arms and head sag naturally in his arms.
"What does it feel?"
"I feel like a corpse..."
"Don't say silly, if I smile, my arms will be out of strength."
Hongzi became tense again.
Soya walked towards the door, raised his foot and carefully avoided Akane Kirino on the ground, but he didn't noticeably kick her pillow.
“…”
He immediately became tense.
And Akane Kirino seemed to have just turned her head and no more movement.
Hongzi didn't dare to speak, and Zong Gu didn't say anything. He stood for a few seconds and continued to move forward.
When he arrived at the door, Hongzi opened the door, Zong Gu walked out of the room sideways, walked to the next door in the darkness, and put her down after entering the door a few steps.
As soon as he landed on the ground, Hongzi's legs were still a little soft. She shook her body for a while, lay on his chest, and hugged her tightly again.
"Hongzi..."
"Thirty seconds."
Closed her eyes, she took a deep breath, and after a minute she let go of her hands, her inner satisfaction was revealed inside and outside the words.
"I'm so happy."
Zong Gu lowered his head and said, "Have a good dream."
"Good night...ah, and Akane."
"You go to sleep, I'll wake her up."
"Uh-huh."
Hongzi lay down, and Zong Gu returned to the room and shook Akane Kirino on the ground.
"Kuno... wake up."
She closed her eyes and did not respond, but arched her legs and raised her head slightly - waiting for him to pick it up.
"……Hello."
She opened her eyes and said, "Zonggu kicked me up and was responsible."
“…”
"It's fine to hug Hongzi. When I grew up, I haven't been hugged like this. Has she woke up?"
Zong Gu judged from this that she woke up when he was carrying Hongzi out, and only saw him holding her back to the room, and did not hear the previous conversation.
"I seemed to wake up when I put it down."
With his hands stretched behind his back and into the bend of his legs, the two girls weighed about the same weight, and Soya picked up Akane Kirino easily.
She was more proactive and hugged his neck after being picked up.
“It’s amazing…”
She relaxed naturally in his arms and whispered: "Send me over."
He took her back to the room and before leaving, Zong Gu looked at her again, and could not see her face clearly in the dark.
