The rising sun gradually rose, and the fog in the forest quickly dissipated, fading away a little hazy.

Halfway through the mountain, the shrine became brighter.

No second visitor came to the door for the time being, and Kyoko was very leisurely. After waiting for a while, she picked up the mahogany amulet placed beside her and lowered her head to study.

“…”

The feeling of the spiritual sense being cut off was still suffocating. She quickly put the amulet back to its original place, and then she heard a faint sound of cars.

After a short while, the white business car from Fuyun Shrine appeared at the end of the Winshan Highway and stopped.

Not only the ones who got off the car, Noma Nan and Hasegawa, but also Soya who went down the mountain more than ten minutes ago. Hanai Matori and Kobayashi were not very lucky today, so they rushed to the foot of the mountain before Noma Nan came.

She looked at Zong Gu who was walking over, and even though she had guessed the result, she still asked, "Is it solved?"

"Well, just like Kyoko expected, it was a parasite." He nodded, then took out five bills from his pocket and stuffed them into her hand.

Kyoko looked down and saw that the banknotes were full of Fukuzawa Yukiki, which was 50,000 yen.

"This is……"

"Mr. Zuo Chuan's gratitude," said Zong Gu, "The business elite is just happy. After I wiped out the parasite, I directly took out the money to thank him. He originally wanted to come up by himself, but unfortunately he didn't have the strength to climb again.

The ladder can only entrust me to pay the money to the gods.”

Kyoko smiled, accepted the unexpected income, and greeted the two witches who came over.

Noma Nan didn't say anything, suddenly approached her and sniffed it, "It's all the smell of Soya."

“…”

"I just said you stayed at Kyoko's house last night, and you still don't admit it." She said with a positive face.

Zong Gu was also sure that she actually smelled nothing, just wanted to cheat the truth from their reactions.

Kyoko blushed a little, which was enough to explain everything, so he did not continue to hide it: "Because Miss Noma will talk nonsense everywhere."

"Who should I tell you, there are only four of us in the shrine now."

"There are three more gods."

“…”

Noma Nan put his hands together and bowed to the three halls, "No intention to offend..."

"How much did that man give you just now? I saw him paying for it." As soon as she put down her hand, she asked about what happened just now.

Soya opened his hand and said, "Fifty thousand yen."

"Wow, I'm so rich... I have a share of it. If I hadn't parked the car on the side of the road and blocked the way, the parasite would have run away long ago, so how could you have slapped your head in a flash?"

Soya ignored it and asked Kyoko to collect the money and ignore it.

Noma Nan didn't really want money, so he glanced at the tablet in his hand again, "I didn't notice it just now. This is a very important ritual prop. The entire Fuyun Shrine is only two, and there is one in Kyoko.

Dad, don’t just use it to deal with spirits.”

"It's mainly because there are no other male priests in our shrine."

“Um…”

After a few words, Noma Nan and Hasegawa turned around and entered the company office. Soya stayed with Kyoko for a while outside. It was not until Hanai and Kobayashi also came to the shrine that they went to the small wooden house behind and started their own job alone.

Kyoko thought he would come here early, so yesterday he sent all the information from the last few days to the table in the archive room.

The number seems to be higher than usual, which means that the spirit activities in the Kinki area have become frequent, but it cannot be used as a basis for judging that the Soul Sacrifice Association has begun. After all, there is no rule in spiritual activities...

Buzz —

Just as he was thinking, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Hongzi: I'm going to board the plane.

Soya then remembered that today was the day when Yoshikawa and his family went to Hokkaido to travel. It was only 8 o'clock now, and they were already preparing to take off at Yoondan Airport in Osaka.

Soya: It's really early.

Hongzi: It's okay.

Hongzi: Dad drank a little too much last night and almost couldn't get up in the morning.

Soya: Have a good dream.

Hongzi: It’s not time to take off yet!

Soya: Have you boarded?

She sent him a photo indicating that she was still in the terminal.

Zong Gu enlarged the photo, dragged it and looked at it a few times, and suddenly remembered something.

Soya: Where is the Alps?

When the whole family goes out for a trip, they can't ignore their dogs - of course, it's impossible to take them on a plane.

She sent a reply after a while.

Hongzi: Didn’t Zong Gu go home last night?

“…”

He realized something.

Soya: Sent to the old house?

Hongzi: Didn't really go home?

Soya: Busy.

Hongzi: I don’t want to tell you anymore.

Putting the phone aside, Zong Gu continued to look through the spiritual activity information in front of him.

Two minutes later.

Buzz —

Hongzi: I'll ask Qian to take care of me for a few days.

This is a good choice, Soya thought, for her, and for Akane Kirino, who will be alone in two days.

At least there is a dog to accompany you, so it won't be too boring...

Soya: Then I'll feel relieved.

Hongzi: False.

Soya: How long does it take to fly from Osaka to Hokkaido?

Hongzi: It's less than two hours.

Soya: Did you land in Sapporo?

Hongzi: Yes.

After sending this message, she was silent for a long time and it took a while before sending a new photo.

She was already in the cabin and sat by the window.

Hongzi: It's boarded.

Soya: Good night.

Hongzi: I will say it when it’s about to take off!

Soya: Put down your phone early and prepare for bed early.

Hongzi: It’s only two hours, it doesn’t matter if you don’t sleep.

Hongzi: When flying over Lake Biwa, Soya remembers to look up.

Zong Gu smiled.

Soya: Will you pass by here?

Hongzi: I don't know, I guess.

After chatting for a while, Hongzi regretfully said that the plane was about to take off, and the flight attendant had come over to remind passengers to turn off their phones or turn on the flight mode, so they could not continue chatting.

Hongzi: When you hear the sound of the plane, remember to look up.

Zong Gu raised his head, and there was only a dark floor slab above his head.

Soya: I will.

Putting the phone aside, Zong Gu picked up the information he put down several times and looked through it.

When I looked up again, half of the unprocessed information on the table had been reduced.

"Has an hour passed..."

He got up and stretched, walked out of the wooden house, looked up at the sky.

The blue sky is as blue as the eaves and the leaves on the back mountain dotted a corner of the sky. Even if the plane Hongzi was on passed by, it would have flew away long ago.
To be continued...
