"Don't you, Sugawara-san, want to discuss with me about working at the shrine?"

"It's 'Senior Sister'."

"I just entered school a year late, so I might be a little older than you."

"What do you mean... No, let's not talk about this for now. I think it's more serious for Soya-kun to conceal his identity as a spiritual awakener."

I don’t know if Ling is awake yet...

Zong Gu glanced towards the Social Affairs Office and already had the intention of quitting.

"Sotani-kun, please let me see your amulet again."

"..."

It's too late to regret now.

"If only to look at it."

"I can guarantee that."

Her serious yet troublesome personality provided Souya with a sense of trust at this time. He took out the amulet tucked into his collar and hung it on his chest.

"If you take it off, it will lose its effect. Just look at it like this, Sugawara-san."

"It's 'Senior Sister'."

She glanced at him and raised her hand to hold the amulet.

"Eh..."

Her spiritual sense was cut off instantly, causing her breathing to stop for a moment, and she immediately let go of her hand.

"..."

Sugawara Kyoko was silent for a long time.

"What the hell is this?"

"The amulet." Soya lowered his eyes and looked at his chest, "It seems to be made of peach wood from Hirazaka, Homizu."

"Yoizumi Hirazaka...is that a place in mythology?"

"That's right."

He picked up the amulet and said, "If I've seen enough, I'll put it away."

"No, it's not enough."

"..."

"Let me take a closer look."

"That's what I said..."

Zong Gu looked at her slowly stretched out hand, "Aren't you afraid?"

"The moment I lost my sense of consciousness, I felt like the sky was falling."

"It's too exaggerated."

"This is true." Sugawara Kyoko said seriously.

"Yeah."

Taking a deep breath, she pinched the amulet again, her expression tense instantly.

"Sotani-san's... is so small..."

"...just wait a moment."

"What?"

"..."

"The amulet is too small and I can't see the lines on it clearly. Can I take it off and look at it?"

"What did you just promise?"

"Feel sorry."

Unable to take off the amulet, Sugawara Kyoko moved forward by herself.

"Are the Chinese characters engraved on it... No, there seems to be some difference..."

She was very close, with her head slightly lowered, staring closely at the amulet in her hand.

The sunlight passed through the gap between the branches and leaves, illuminating half of her face. Her hair fell down on her temples, and her fair skin was faintly red.

Very long eyelashes...

She lowered her head and studied intently;

Zonggu couldn't avoid it, and he was also fascinated by the sight without realizing it, until he met those bright eyes that suddenly raised again.

"Can you change the texture...what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."
