After arriving at the innermost room of the Social Affairs Office, Soya stopped at the door. Kyoko looked at him and closed the door.
Snap.
There was no sound of the door locking.
Zong Gu curled his lips and turned to lean against the wall.
"Did Kyoko go to the Archery Club today? It's really rare."
After a while, a response came from inside: "It's been a long time."
"Is this about the school festival?"
"The club has an interest in this aspect, but I didn't agree."
"Really? Speaking of which, is the Kyudo Club's school festival event a Kyudo performance?"
"Um."
Kyoko unbuttoned her uniform shirt one by one and pricked up her ears to listen to the sounds beyond the wall.
"It sounds pretty monotonous."
"During the school festival days, people outside the club can also go to the dojo to experience the fun of kyudo for themselves."
"It's nothing special. It's just like the experience when I first started school."
Glancing at the sliding door that was just closed, Kyoko took off her shirt, adjusted her underwear, then took off her uniform skirt, and picked up the miko uniform hanging on the hanger.
"The Kyudo Club will not deliberately pursue excitement."
"Yeah."
Soya leaned against the wall and didn't ask any more questions about the Kyudo Club, "What plans does Kyoko have for the school festival?"
"Responsible for the cashier in the classroom."
"Did Class A of the second year also choose to open a store?"
"Um."
This is basically the case for most classes. School festival activities with distinctive characteristics are usually concentrated in clubs.
"If you have time, would Kyoko want to come and visit Class A?" Soya asked.
She said nothing, lowered her head and raised Fei Haakam.
"The first-year Class A event is the Deacon Cafe. I hope Kyoko can come." He added.
Jingzi was silent for a while, tightened her belt, and said, "I want to stay in the classroom to collect cash. I don't have time to go there."
"It's impossible to sit here all day long, there should be shifts."
"The time when I change shifts may not match the time when Fangming-san works."
"That's why I came to discuss it with Jingzi now."
After putting on her witch costume, she walked behind the door and stopped.
"Butler?"
"Just like a housekeeper." Hearing that her voice was much closer, Sogu tilted his head slightly, "When Kyoko comes over, remember to tell me in advance. I will make time to entertain you."
Of course, Kyoko knew the meaning of deacon. She imagined him in deacon uniform and said, "Maybe it suits Yoshiaki-san very well."
"Maybe. Can you open the door?"
She opened the door, and he leaned against the door and looked at her, "No matter what, I hope you can come over."
Jingzi pursed her lower lip and did not comment.
"Can't you just treat it as a compliment to your colleagues?"
Soya was a little helpless, "In return, I will also go to Kyoko's class to spend money."
"No. I'll come over."
She finally agreed and looked at him: "Is there anything else?"
"Nothing special." Soya blocked the door, "But I still want to chat with Kyoko for a while."
"I still have to go outside..."
"——Miss Noma just said that she will stand outside for you."
"..."
He leaned against the door, his eyes falling on her eyes and lips, "We haven't had a good chat for a long time."
"Nothing to talk about."
Jingzi wanted to pass by, but he raised his arm to stop her.
She lowered her head and wanted to get through, but he lowered his arms and hugged her shoulders directly.
Struggling, they both entered the room. He leaned against the wall, but she sank deeper and deeper into his arms.
After a while, when Kyoko finally calmed down, Sogu lowered her head and she looked aside expressionlessly.
Closing the door with his backhand, he looked at her: "Does Jingzi already hate me to this extent?"
Her lips moved, but she didn't speak.
Taking a deep breath, Soya added, "It's just a casual chat. At least today, I won't say anything that Kyoko doesn't want to hear."
She glanced up.
"Just now, someone from the Divine Affairs Department came to see me."
After a short while, Jingzi finally agreed to talk, "What about the divine department?"
Zonggu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately explained to her.
"It is said that it is a department in the organization that was established just yesterday. It is responsible for handling matters related to Yin Zhenami. The section chief is Mr. Akihiko Kamiruzu, who came here just now."
Then, he also told her about the recent unusual activities of the Underworld Daughter in various parts of the country.
Jingzi thought for a while, "Perhaps Lord Yin Xenami sent the daughter of Underworld to Underworld in order to find the traces of Da Lei."
Zonggu nodded, "I see, why didn't I think of that?"
"..."
She looked at him and didn't believe a word he said.
"Even if we fail to find it, the daughter of the underworld, which is composed of the pure power of the underworld, is a rare energy supplement for Da Lei who dare not return to the underworld."
Zong Gu looked at her, "It's just poisonous bait."
"Yes... As long as Da Lei uses the power of these underworld to regroup his body, it won't be that hard to find."
"He probably understands this himself," he continued.
Jingzi nodded, "But if he continues to maintain his current divine state, as long as he is discovered by Yoshiaki-san, there is only one way to die. And he knows nothing about Yoshiaki-san's traces. It can be said that he is on tenterhooks every moment."
"Although he has recovered his body, he will still die if I find him...but that layer of 'paper lake armor' will make his death a little slower."
"For Dalei, this is a dilemma. Only he knows what he will choose."
Zong Gu looked at her, "I really hope he can swallow this sweet and poisonous bait as Kyoko wishes."
"Yeah." Their eyes met, and Jingzi quickly looked away, "We're done talking."
"Don't worry." Soya stroked her back gently, "There are still things to do about the school festival."
"whats the matter?"
"Have you forgotten what Jingzi promised me before?"
It took her a while to remember, "The magazine of the Unnatural Phenomena Research Department."
"Um."
"The two ghost stories that Yoshiaki-san asked me to write have already been finished."
Zong Gu was surprised, "Is it finished?"
"It's right there." She tilted her head slightly and gestured to the desk not far behind her.
Zong Gu took a look and saw that there was indeed a notebook in the middle of the table. It seemed that it contained the manuscript he had solicited from her.
"Jingzi writes really fast..."
"I wrote it out yesterday. I don't want to delay my commitment to others," Jingzi said.
He pondered for a while, "What is the content?"
"Yangming-san can tell at a glance. They are all incidents that you have participated in."
"I want to hear Jingzi tell me."
After a short silence, she began to tell him.
"The first thing was in Shigaraki in early July...the second thing was..."
Just like what she said, he remembered both things. As soon as he heard the time and detailed location, he could recall the cause, process and result of the incident. As a strange story, it was attractive enough;
While Jingzi was still talking, he had already decided to make the two ghost stories written by her the first and last articles of the magazine respectively.
"...Are you listening?" She suddenly stopped.
"I'm sorry." Zongya came back to his senses and looked at her in his arms, "I haven't been this close to Kyoko for a long time. I can't stay focused all the time."
"..."
Jingzi stopped talking and struggled a few more times, and he hugged her tighter.
Turning around, she was pressed by him behind the door, with both hands clamped by him respectively.
He stared into her eyes, getting closer and closer.
"I always feel that Jingzi looks particularly beautiful today, and I can't help but want to kiss her - besides, we haven't kissed for a long time."
"Yangming-san, we are just colleagues now...well..."
Blocking her lips, Souya could only do so much, unable to go any deeper.
With her lips and teeth tightly closed, she resisted silently.
He no longer tried to go deep and just kissed her lips lightly.
She still didn't respond, but her body slowly relaxed quietly.
After kissing for a moment, their eyes met again. Kyoko quickly closed her eyes and ended the brief look at each other. Soya sighed in his heart, kissed her for the last time, which was a little longer, and separated from her.
But she raised her head slightly, caught up with him a little more, then suddenly stopped and opened her eyes.
"..."
Looking at each other again, seeing a hint of embarrassment that quickly grew in her eyes, Zonggu immediately reacted, but it was already too late.
Jingzi no longer held back her strength, broke away from his hand, opened the door and turned around to go out.
"Jingzi..."
The only response he received was the sound of footsteps getting faster and faster.
Soya took a deep breath.
"Look at the stupid things you did..."
After standing there for a while, he didn't chase her out. He turned around and sat down in front of her desk.
Picking up the notebook on the table, Zonggu flipped through it twice, then leaned back and looked up at the ceiling.
