Returning to the room upstairs, Zonggu closed the door and turned on the air conditioner.
drop--
"Have you had dinner, Kyoko?"
"have eaten."
The air conditioner soon began to spit out cold air, facing the desk. Zonggu sat down and held the mobile phone in his other hand.
"How was your day?"
Jingzi on the other side of the phone thought for a while before answering: "It's a little busier than yesterday. When I went to report the situation in the evening, it seemed that the overall situation was the same."
As Soya was on duty in Honmachi, he felt the changes in the frequency of spiritual activity more clearly.
The two communicated for a while, and soon came to the same conclusion: the soul sacrifice would gradually reach its climax, and spiritual bodies from all directions were pouring towards the Kinki area in a steady stream.
"Where will Jingzi be on duty tomorrow?"
"Miss Hasegawa is with me in Ishibe Town. Where is Yoshiaki-san?"
"I was assigned to the area near the Noto River." Soya said regretfully, "I'm not on the other side."
Kyoko also sighed softly.
"During the day."
"daytime."
The agency adjusts the duty arrangements for spiritual awakeners every two days, and the duty period includes both day and night. For example, during this rotation, Noma Minami and Hanai were arranged to stand guard at the intersection of the county road at night.
In the hot summer, it is always more comfortable at night.
"You'll have a hard time tomorrow, Miss Kyoko."
"Yoshiaki-san, too."
Both of them smiled.
After expressing condolences to each other and chatting some more, Zongya suddenly heard Yuzi's voice.
"Sister, you can go take a shower..."
Guan Yuan's family had finished their family trip yesterday and returned home. Because she was too young, Yuzi did not have the ability to act alone, so she did not participate in this operation.
"I understand." Jingzi responded, "Tamako goes down first."
Yuzi's voice became clearer, and she must have walked into the room: "Is sister talking to brother on the phone?"
"Um."
"Oh, let me wait a little longer."
Yuzi specially postponed the time to take a bath together for her sister, but in front of her sister, Kyoko couldn't continue the intimate topics just now. As for other things, she also felt like she couldn't speak.
"Kingko, let's go take a shower first." Soya heard the embarrassment in her silence, "It's almost time for me to take a shower."
"Well...bye."
After hanging up the phone, Kyoko put down her phone and went to find her pajamas.
"Hey, sister, aren't you going to talk anymore?"
"Um."
Yuzi soon realized that she had interrupted the conversation between the two.
"sorry……"
Kyoko just smiled.
"What are you talking about?"
After going downstairs, the sisters went to take a shower together.
They wiped each other's backs, washed their bodies, and sat in the bathtub together.
Soaking in the hot water, Jingzi felt comfortable all over, and her fatigue gradually disappeared, followed by irresistible sleepiness.
"Sister, are you going to fall asleep?"
"Feel sorry……"
She opened her eyes, regained some consciousness, and lay down on the edge of the bathtub again, trying to maintain her spirits through conversation.
"What did Yuzi do today."
"Xiao Tao and Xiao Xue came to play with me. I took them to climb the stairs of the shrine and even lent them miko uniforms!"
"Yeah."
Jingzi nodded, her long hair coiled behind her head swaying slightly, "Do they like it?"
"Yeah, I like it all!"
"Then we can let them stay... and become shrine maidens." Kyoko said softly, then slowly closed her eyes, "It just so happens that they are... very busy recently..."
"..."
My sister started to talk nonsense.
Yuzi was lying on the other side of the bathtub, watching her sister's head drooping lower and lower, until she closed her eyes completely and made a uniform breathing sound.
Alas!
The door of the bathroom was suddenly shot.
"..."
Zong Gu suddenly woke up, his body trembled, and he slid down.
Wow, he quickly raised his arms in the water, holding the bathtub to stabilize his body, so he was not drowned.
"Zonggu?"
Alas!
"Are you asleep?" The people outside were still patting the door of the bathroom, "Zonggu--"
"woke up……"
The voice was a little bit hoarse, and he cleared his throat again, "I wake up!"
"oh."
Tong Ye Qian stopped shooting, and his voice was lower, "Sure enough to fall asleep."
The voice of Hongzi came from outside: "Hmm ..."
Zong Gu wiped a hand on his face, and he had no impression of his falling asleep, and could not judge the passage of time. "How long have I slept?"
"One day and one night."
"... What are you talking about?"
"Half an hour." Tong Ye Qian said, "Zong Gu said that it can be washed soon, and I let you wash it first."
"Sorry." He remembered this sentence, "I will come out right away."
"It's okay, Zonggu will soak it for a while. Hongzi cares about it, and we will come down to call you."
Zonggu sat up, because the posture just now was a little strange, the neck was sore.
"No soak."
"Oh, just just."
The two girls outside left the bathroom quickly, Zonggu twisted around her neck, and she poured a few more times. She also changed her clothes and went out.
No one in the living room. Back to the upstairs, Tong Ye Qian and Homa stayed in his room to blow the air conditioner.
"Go to wash." Zonggu wiped his hair and sat on the ground.
"Do you want to wash together?" Tong Ye looked at Homa.
Hongzi shook her head, and she didn't barely, and went back to the room and took her clothes.
Zong Gu thought that Redzi stayed alone, and wanted to do something, at least what would she say, and she just looked at him.
After silent for a long time, he still spoke first: "What's wrong."
"nothing……"
"Hongzi looked at me like this, not like‘ nothing ’.”
"You are so annoying."
Zonggu looked at her, and suddenly understood: "Did Ling say to Hongzi?"
Hongzi pursed his lower lip, which was default.
"Can't accept?"
"How could it accept it ..."
Zonggu put down the towel and slowly made his head, and didn't feel surprised.
"Sure enough, normal people can't accept it."
"Only Zonggu and Ling will accept this kind of thing." Hongzi emphasized.
When I touched my hair, I felt a little moist. Zonggu wrapped it with a towel again and wiped it twice.
"Because I don't want to lose Hongzi."
"..."
She opened her mouth, her eyebrows were hanging down, "I don't want to leave Zonggu, but this way is still ... I can't accept it."
"Well, I understand."
Zonggu nodded his head and didn't say more.
People who need to persuade are not just Red Son.
To let her accept this, I have to persuade himself.
Come to Japan, Zonggu thinks so.
Whether it is him, or including the fog bell, they need to be more time to determine what it is really impossible.
This time may be very long, at least now, they are still by his side.
The two of them were pregnant and sat silently.
I don't know how long, Hongzi moved to him again.
"Has Akane noticed it already?"
Zong Gu raised his eyes and realized that her eyes were a little red.
He raised his hand, and when it almost touched her eyes, she ducked aside.
"I didn't cry."
He turned to hold her hand.
"I don't know. She seems to be aware of it, but also seems to be a little suspicious. I can't see what she is thinking."
Hongzi chewed on what he said, and then said: "A few days ago, when I was still in Hokkaido, Akane asked me a question late at night..."
"--I know."
Her eyes widened a bit, and it took her two seconds to confirm before asking, "Zonggu knows?"
"I accidentally saw your chat history."
"..."
"She asked me to see it."
"..."
"Mainly to see the Hokkaido scenery photos that Hongzi sent her."
Only then did Hongzi accept his statement.
But no matter where he learned it, the more important question was another question: "'What does it feel like to like someone'? Akane would ask this, so she must have sensed something."
"'I don't know either.'"
"..."
"As I said just now, her thoughts are unpredictable. It's better to ask her than to ask me."
"How do you ask such a question?" She raised her gaze, "What if after I ask, Akane wakes up and she comes directly to confess to Soya?"
Zong Gu looked at her: "When the time comes, I will tell her everything and let her decide."
"..."
Hongzi looked at him for a while and suddenly felt like laughing.
"Is Soya scared too? He looks like the end of the world is coming."
"You're so annoying."
"snort."
But this smile couldn't last for two or three seconds, and she soon showed a headache expression again.
"What on earth are we going to do-"
"It's better to think about the worst-case scenario first. As long as it doesn't get to that point, it's not too bad."
"What's the worst case scenario... Akane and I break up?"
Zong Gu looked at her for a while, "Is that just that?"
"Just like this, it's already very sad. Is it possible that we want you to live and die?"
"If you want to think about the worst-case scenario, this is pretty much it."
"Then I'd better not like Soya anymore."
"A little bit injured."
"You won't get hurt. You are so hard-hearted and selfish. The person you like the most is actually yourself, and you will only be soft-hearted towards yourself." Hongzi felt resentful. She originally just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction, but she couldn't help it once she opened her mouth.
Stop.
Before she finished speaking, she realized that she had spoken too harshly, and when she looked at Zong Gu, her expression turned out to be complicated.
"No, that..."
"Don't worry about it." Zonggu shook his head, his actual mood was very subtle, "You are right, I am such a selfish person."
Hongzi looked at him, as if to make up for it, and said in the truest and most direct manner: "Even so, I still like you."
Souya smiled again.
"Um."
She also smiled and said: "I don't know why, although the problem has not been solved at all, I suddenly feel a lot more relaxed."
"Because you said something bad about me?"
Hongzi nodded, "I said it in person."
"I'm quite a vindictive person."
"..."
She puffed her mouth, then took a deep breath and let it out for a long time.
"Hey, I have no choice... I'll have to worry about the next thing tomorrow."
Zong Gu shook his head, but he couldn't comment on anything.
After all, he is such a person too.
After chatting for a while, he handed her the towel for wiping her hair and said, "When Hongzi goes to take a shower, help me put it back."
"Well, it's almost time for Akane to come out..." Hongzi subconsciously picked up the towel and smelled it for a while.
Zonggu watched silently.
"..."
She let it go again.
After a while, she became calm again: "I like to smell Zonggu."
"That's the smell of shampoo."
"It's different...not exactly the same. It fermented on Zonggu's head, and it has a special smell that only belongs to Zonggu...I like it very much."
Souya didn't even know what to say.
Fortunately, he didn't need to say anything, Akane Kirino had already finished taking a shower and came up.
She had just taken a shower and was dressed quite coolly. She wore shorts and shorts, with her fair thighs and belly exposed. Her black hair was tied behind her head, making it shiny and moist.
"Take a bath and feel much better..."
Kirino Akane sat down cross-legged, looked at the towel in Anko's hand, and said, "Anko can go take a shower."
"Um……"
Looking at Akane Kirino who was wearing scantily clad clothes, she glanced at Soya a few more times. Seeing that he had no reaction, she had no choice but to say, "Isn't it time for Soya to rest?"
"It's just nine o'clock." Kirino Akane looked at the time.
"Sogu will have to get up early tomorrow...and didn't you just fall asleep in the bathtub?"
"Well..."
Zonggu glanced at Hongzi and said, "I will go to bed when you come out from the shower."
"Oh." She went down anyway.
Akane Kirino untied her hair and shook her head again, letting her long hair spread completely, "Where will Soya go on duty tomorrow?"
"On the other side of the Noto River."
"ah……"
She thought for a moment and said, "It seems a bit far."
"It's not too far. It's just two stops on the tram. It's just that the meeting time is a bit early. You have to get up around six o'clock."
"It's so hard... I definitely won't be able to get up."
"Isn't this the time you get up when you go to school?"
"It's summer vacation now."
Akane Kirino thought for a while, "I can come over to you in the afternoon."
"Don't come." Zonggu shook his head, "Standing guard on the street is different from staying in the police station. There is basically no time to rest, and you may not be able to find me when I am busy."
"So busy?"
"The spiritual awakeners on duty on the streets have to be dispatched by their colleagues who stay in the police station, and they also have to follow the instructions from the agency and do things such as assisting in intercepting and killing the spiritual beings that have fled nearby. Although this is not always the case.
It will be so busy that I can’t stop, but it will definitely not be as easy as these two days.”
"Eh..."
Kirino Akane was stunned for a while, "If you are being dispatched by both sides at the same time, won't there be conflicts?"
Zong Gu was a little helpless, "We are short of manpower, so we have no choice but to arrange it this way...and this is also a 'custom'."
She said oh and pointed to the ceiling again.
"It means 'above' again."
Zonggu smiled.
Akane Kirino wrapped her hair in a towel and wiped it slowly, "Then what should I do tomorrow?"
"Do your homework."
"It's not urgent..."
"Half of the summer vacation is over."
"Isn't there still half the time left?"
Zonggu shook his head, stood up, opened the closet, took out the bedding and spread it on the floor. She moved over and sat down first.
"Sogu, are you going to sleep now? Anko is still taking a bath."
"She'll be ready in no time."
"How can it be so fast?"
"It won't be long."
"Why?"
He sat on the other side and glanced at her exposed thighs and belly, thinking that this was the reason.
"Have the air conditioner in your room been turned on? If you go there directly later, it will be a little unbearable."
"Then just sleep here." Kirino Akane held a bunch of hair between her fingers and said casually, "Just bring the quilt over and it will save electricity."
"...I'm still short of the electricity bill."
"Hongzi and I will not disturb Soya's rest."
"The more you say this, the less I can rest assured."
With that said, Zonggu stood up and left the room, "I'll open it for you."
"Whatever you want."
drop--
After going to Kirino Akane and Anko's room to turn on the air conditioner, Soya went to Tsukuyomi's side to take a look.
The air conditioner was blowing out cold air at full strength, and underneath were two monitors placed together. One belonged to a computer and was playing videos, and the other belonged to a game console and was showing a fierce battle.
What he saw was a spinning meter.
Rolling, rolling, with a flash of swords and swords, Tsukuyomi was defeated again.
"This is also a monster? It's quite beautiful." Zonggu walked behind him and watched him start the challenge again.
"The more beautiful a woman is, the harder she will kill her." Tsukuyomi said without looking back, "I've been stuck with her for a whole day."
He looked at the paused video on the computer screen next to him. The title was [Super, super, super practical! Tips for 100% avoidance of waterfowl dancing!].
"One hundred percent?"
"One hundred percent nonsense."
Zonggu smiled and turned around to go out.
Back in the room, Hongzi had come up after taking a shower.
"It's so fast."
She wiped her wet short hair, and her black tank top was held up by her breasts and hung on both shoulders, "It's not just to let Zonggu rest early."
"Good night."
"...just wait a moment."
The two of them stayed in his room for a while, until their hair was almost dry, and then they returned to their own room.
Before leaving, Kirino Akane looked back and said, "If Soya is not able to make it tomorrow morning, there will be no need to prepare breakfast for Anko and I."
He did not comment, saying only that we would see the situation when the time comes.
When I returned to the room, the temperature was a little higher than next door, and the air conditioner that had just been turned on was working hard.
"It's so early, it's only around nine o'clock."
"yes."
"It always feels like Soya has found a job, while Akane and I are staying at home."
Akane Kirino thought for a moment and shook her head firmly.
"No, we are different from Yuezi."
The two stood under the air outlet of the air conditioner for a while, then made their own beds and lay down.
It was still early, so the two girls chatted and played with their mobile phones until late at night.
Akane Kirino had been quiet for a while. Because she saw a bright light over there, Anko always thought she was still awake. Only when she put down the phone did she realize that she had already fallen asleep, but the phone was still on.
"It's time for me to go to bed...well."
She tightened her legs and said, "I want to go to the bathroom..."
After getting up and leaving the room, the corridor was dark, with only a little crackling sound coming from the innermost room from time to time.
"It's so dark."
Shining her phone on her feet, Hongzi went downstairs and went to the bathroom.
Returning upstairs, she stopped when she passed Sogu's room.
"..."
After hesitating for more than half a minute, Hongzi turned off the light and slowly opened the sliding door.
Entering the room, she lay down next to him.
Zonggu rolled over, put on her waist with one hand.
