This is true for all stations.

Only by being led by a spiritually aware person can the spirit body pass through this boundary smoothly and board the train that travels thousands of miles a day.

Of course, this level of boundary cannot stop all spirits, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary spirits like Ishize.

"Give me your hand."

After passing the turnstile, Soya turned around and grabbed Ishize's arm.

When he passed through that seemingly non-existent boundary, Ishize visibly shook.

Once inside, Zonggu let go and said, "Okay."

"Thank you...you are such a good person."

After that, Asagiri Suzu also passed the ticket gate, and then took Soya to pick out the station lunch.

"You can just wait here, or you can get in the car first."

"I understand." Ishize was extremely honest. After all, after arriving in Kyoto, he still had to take him with him before he could leave the station there.

It takes four or five hours to take the Shinkansen from Sendai to Tokyo, and then it takes about two hours to drive to Kyoto. Soya and Asagiri Suzu had no intention of stopping over, and they planned to have lunch on the bus, so they were particularly careful when choosing a station that was convenient.

.

"Tsukuyomi-sama said that Miss Hanada will take him to Tokyo Station."

"Um."

"It also saves us having to go to Chiba to pick him up."

"It's not impossible to let him stay there."

Zonggu didn't say anything. He looked up at the clerk inside, pointed at the glass display window, and chose a bento with a lot of beef.

Chao Wuling glanced at him and then chose another flavor next to him.

"Is one serving enough?"

"That's enough. There's plenty of beef and rice."

They only had one meal in the car.

As for Tsukuyomi, he set off from Tokyo to Kyoto, so there was no problem if he didn't eat.

After selecting their lunch boxes, the two of them didn't go shopping much and quickly got in the car.

Worried about whether they were there or not, Ishize kept waiting on the platform. When he saw them, he got on the bus and followed them until he was next to the seat.

"Don't stand here... just find a place to stay by yourself." The other passengers couldn't see him, but Soya and Asagiri Suzu could clearly feel his sight, which made them feel quite uncomfortable.

So Ishize found an empty seat and sat down.

After looking back for a while, Soya retracted his gaze and said, "Speaking of which, after the soul worship meeting is over, will the spirit bodies that gathered near Kyoto return to their original places?"

Chao Wuling shook his head, "No."

“Then the Kinki area is going to be ‘inundated with spirits’, isn’t it?”

"When the teacher selects the lucky one, it is also the moment when other disappointed and jealous spirits are most likely to mutate. Most of the spirits will die from devouring each other after mutation." She looked at him, "The remaining part after devouring

, because they are highly aggressive, and they will basically die in your hands."

Zong Gu pursed his lower lip, "Isn't this just adding to our burden?"

It’s still quite a dangerous burden.

"It's been like this for many years." Asagiri Ling leaned back in his chair, "You guys already have a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so there won't be too much pressure. You will understand after participating in it yourself.

"

Zong Gu was silent, then nodded again.

After a while, the train set off.

Heading south, shortly after leaving Sendai City, news from Akane Kirino was sent.

Kirino: Will Soya come back today?

Soya: Already on the Shinkansen.

Kirino: That’s great.

Soya: There are still about seven or eight hours left.

Kirino: It’s been a long time!

Soya: Who told us that we came from the Northeast?

Kirino: Do ​​you need me to pick you up in Kyoto?

Soya: No need.

Kirino: It’s necessary.

Kirino: I want to see Soya soon.

"..."

Looking down at her phone, Sogu was thinking about how to reply when her next message came over.

Kirino: Or you can show me what the souvenir is right now.

He was stunned for a while.

"Oops……"

Chao Wuling looked over, "What's wrong?"

"I forgot to prepare souvenirs."

She came over and took a look at the message, and then said: "When we stop at Baishi, you can get off the car and buy it."

Zonggu nodded, "This is the only way."

Soya: I put the souvenir in my travel bag. I’ll show it to you when I get back.

Kirino:Okay.

So, when the train stopped at the next stop, Shiroishi Zao Station, Soya got off the train with Asagiri Suzu and went to the station gift shop to pick out a few exquisite-looking gifts.

"This fruit mille-feuille looks good."

"Um."

Only when the two returned to the car did Ishize feel relieved.

The train continues southward.

There was nothing to say all the way. Three or four hours later, the train arrived at Tokyo Station, where the two of them were going to transfer. By the way, they took Tsukuyomi with them, who had been staying in Chiba for several days.

The two parties met at the agreed place.

Soya and Asagiri Suzu were carrying travel bags and souvenirs, Tsukuyomi was carrying bags and PS5 cartons, and were wearing a crisp suit. Hanada Natsuna was standing next to him.

"What a big change."

"It's okay." Tsukuyomi took off his sunglasses and tied his long hair back into a neat ponytail.

"If you hadn't been carrying a game console in your hand, I would have thought you were going to the company to work."

"It's impossible to go to work..."

Hanada Natsuna on the side was staring so closely that Souya couldn't turn a blind eye. He put a polite smile on his face and said, "Miss Hanada, please send him here."

"Do we have to take him away?" She crossed her arms and said nothing about what happened in the past few days. "Let him stay with me for a few more days. Then I can send him back."

"Okay." Chao Wuling nodded.

"..."

Zonggu took a step sideways and stood in front of her.

"Sorry, I need him more than Miss Hanada."

"Yeah."

Hanada Xia Cai looked him up and down, "I can't tell, but you still have this kind of hobby. No problem, if it's just for fun, I can let you join."

"..."

Sogu ignored her teasing and looked at Tsukuyomi, "It's time to go back."

He nodded and said goodbye to the person next to him: "Goodbye, Cai Cai."

After looking at him for a while, Hanada Xia Cai sighed softly, "You really don't miss him at all."

Tsukuyomi: "Go back and play games together."

"..."

She shook her head, "I really don't know what's so fun about games. Don't look forward to it too much. I'm going to find new friends as soon as you leave. I don't have that time."

"Okay." Tsukuyomi felt a little regretful.
