When we came out of Ginkakuji Temple, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
After getting on the bus back, Hikaru Takigawa looked back at Naruse in the back seat, then raised his hand and waved twice in front of his eyes.
"Chunhai, your eyes are dead."
After several seconds, he raised his gaze and glanced at her and Haixing.
"Death is not far away."
Takigawa Hikaru smiled slightly, "It seems that I am really tired."
Naruse didn't want to speak, so he blinked in response.
Compared with the Heian Shrine that he visited in the morning, Ginkakuji Temple is not too big, but it makes people's legs weak when walking around - because before going to Ginkakuji Temple, he had already been dragged to the commercial street of Shinkyogoku.
Shopping for more than two hours.
Only then did he realize that the two of them were just casually strolling around Kawaramachi last night, and today they were serious about it.
After looking at him for a while, Takigawa Hikaru turned slightly away and asked: "Where are you going to eat later?"
"Are you hungry already?"
"It's not bad..."
"I don't have much appetite right now." Naruse said, "If Hikaru and Haixing are hungry, just go ahead and eat and don't worry about me."
Takigawa Hikari turned around without commenting.
Starfish, who had been tilting his head, also withdrew his gaze.
The bus stopped and stopped, and it took half an hour to transport the three people back to Gion.
Takikawa Hikari still had enough energy and wanted to go to her sister's hotel to play, and also hooked up with Starfish, but Naruse just wanted to go back to the room and lie down.
"Then we won't go up."
When she arrived at the hotel door, she pushed the souvenir she bought while visiting Ginkakuji into his hand, "Let's put it at Harumi's place first."
"Yeah."
The three of them separated temporarily, and Naruse returned to the room upstairs. He wanted to take a shower first, but found it too difficult and fell directly on the bed.
After several ups and downs of breath, fatigue came up like a tide and drowned him.
"...almost fell asleep."
Naruse was agitated, regained some consciousness, turned over and took out his mobile phone, and recorded today's itinerary in the memo.
【...There are very few people and the courtyard is quiet and suitable for walking.
……
Whether it's because of lack of money or other reasons, Yoshimasa made the right choice not to use silver foil. There is no silver in the silver pavilion, and the simplicity feels good.
……
Giving the platform a subtle feeling.
……
The large mosses are like velvet, very beautiful.
……
If you have enough time, Ginkakuji Temple is worth a visit.】
Combining the memories of his previous visits to Kyoto, he has compiled a lot of personal travel records in his memo in the past two days to prepare for his next visit.
After recording today's itinerary, he opened the map and looked at it. He had been to many famous sights in Kyoto, but his memory was mixed.
"Kurama Temple..."
Naruse closed his eyes and thought back, but his thoughts could not remain as clear as before and were disconnected from time to time.
The phone slipped and he caught it empty.
"Well..."
Unable to open his eyes, he turned over.
Cell phones are no longer important.
......
When Naruse woke up again, the room was dark, with only the ceiling reflecting a little light coming from the window.
"..."
He curled up, feeling cold and uncomfortable all over his body, and it took him a while to recover.
The cell phone pressed under him was also one of the reasons why he felt uncomfortable in his sleep.
"Is it past ten o'clock?"
Looking at the time, he also saw dozens of messages from Takigawa Hikaru and Shoko.
Getting up and turning on the light in the room, Naruse walked to the window. The four lights underneath were bright but empty, and no one could be seen on the road.
Ten o'clock in the evening in autumn is already very late.
He was in a daze for a while, then picked up his phone.
Hikaru: There are a few seniors who want Harumi’s contact information. Do you want to give it to them?
Light:[Picture]
Light: Hahaha
Hikari: I was sorting through today’s photos and found that I captured Harumi’s strange expression.
Guang: [I almost died laughing]
Guang: Why don’t you read the news?
Hikaru: Haixing and I are coming back. Is Harumi hungry? We found a tonkatsu restaurant that looks good.
Light:Did he fall asleep?
Guang: Let’s eat it ourselves first.
"..."
Naruse touched his empty belly and truly felt hungry.
Naruse:Asleep.
Naruse:Wake up.
After sending the message, there was no response for a long time. Naruse guessed that she might have fallen asleep.
There are more messages from Shangzi.
She left school.
She has arrived at the station.
She got on the bus.
She got off the car.
She went to the supermarket.
She's back home.
She started preparing dinner.
……
Shangzi: I'm too tired from shopping today. Did you fall asleep?
The latest message was sent around eight o'clock.
Naruse glanced at it hastily, and just as he was about to quit and call her, a new message was sent.
Shangzi: [Long time no see]
"...バカ."(baka)
She kept staring at the screen, waiting for his reply.
Naruse returned to the bed and sat down, and the phone call was made.
Within a few seconds, the call was connected.
"Asleep."
She smiled, her voice slightly hoarse, "I knew..."
"I walked around Shin Kyogoku for a long time in the afternoon, and my legs almost broke."
"Shopping street?" she asked.
"Yeah."
Naruse lay down again, "Then we went to Ginkakuji Temple. After returning to the hotel, we lay down for a while and fell asleep."
"Where's dinner?" Shangzi asked quickly.
"I haven't eaten yet. I'm not too hungry. I'll go down for some midnight snack later."
"Really?"
"It's true. It's true."
"..."
She laughed and chose to believe verbally.
Listening to her breathing, Naruse asked after a while: "Has Naoko fallen asleep yet?"
She hesitated before answering.
"Almost..."
"'Almost'?"
"I'm just lying on the bed, but I haven't slept yet."
"That means I fell asleep."
Shangzi buried himself in his pillow, "Well... almost."
Naruse didn't think much and asked about another question he noticed when he was browsing the news.
"Mr. Ichika and the others...didn't come back today?"
Shangzi was silent for a while.
"That's right. Mom and dad have other jobs temporarily and don't have time to come back."
"..."
Naruse was speechless for a long time, not knowing what to say, so he let out a long breath.
"You're not crying, are you." Reading
She smiled.
"Nothing."
"Really?"
"It's true. It's true."
Naruse curled his lips.
"Then when will they come back next time?"
"Mom and dad? I don't know... I won't be able to come back for at least half a month."
He felt relieved.
"I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."
She held the phone tightly and responded with restraint, "Yeah."
"Go to bed early."
"Well... um."
"I'm going to get something to eat."
"Is it far?"
"It's right downstairs."
"Okay...good night."
"Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Shangzi put down the phone, rubbed his dry eyes, and then pulled up the quilt, letting himself sink completely into his bed.
"Today...just sleep here."
On the other side, Naruse stood up again and came to the window and looked down.
He said there was a place for late-night snacks downstairs because he didn't want Shangzi to worry. The actual situation was that he had to find it now.
"Well..."
At least there are no stores still open near the hotel.
"There aren't any convenience stores either."
Naruse opened the map on his phone and looked at it, planning to find a convenience store and buy some instant noodles to satisfy his hunger.
The convenience store is easy to find, and it's less than a hundred meters downstairs. However, after seeing a skewers shop still open near the South Tower, this idea disappeared immediately.
Skewers...
Bacon rolls...chicken skewers...roasted beef skewers with green onions...
"..."
Naruse couldn't help but swallow and changed his mind.
Do you want to go alone?
He took out his phone and looked at it. The message sent to Hikari Takigawa was still unread. It seemed that she had indeed fallen asleep.
Starfish words...
It's so late, she should have fallen asleep.
What's more, it may not be suitable for them to be alone now.
Suppressing the past memories that came to mind, Naruse decided to go alone.
After leaving the room, the hotel corridor was dimly lit and silent.
Controlling the sound of footsteps, Naruse came to the elevator and pressed the button to go downstairs.
1,2,3……
The red floor numbers jumped and stopped on the fourth floor.
Ding——
The elevator door opened, and both of them were stunned for a moment.
"..."
Haixing is carrying a bag from a convenience store, which contains instant noodles, drinks and snacks.
