Kyoto.

A tram was coming from the direction of Osaka. When it reached the station, it started to slow down again.

"Kyoto Station—Kyoto Station, here we are—"

After the tram stopped, they dragged their luggage out of the carriage and boarded the Biwako Line tram at another platform. The Yoshikawa family was all a little depressed.

"There are too many people..."

Yoshikawa Aoko didn't get a seat and could only stand.

"Because it's Obon Festival, and these are the people who, like my sister, choose to go home during Obon Festival."

"Where can we go if we don't go home during Bon Festival? Even so, there are probably too many people - get up and let me sit for a while."

"don't want."

Returning to Kinki from Hokkaido, the hot and humid air alone made Anko feel weak. The carriage was packed with people, and the smell was quite subtle. She finally managed to get a seat, but she wouldn't get out of the way.

Her younger sister was fragile and could not be counted on. Qingzi changed her target again: "Mom..."

"When Aoko was working in Tokyo, she sat in the office all day, didn't she? It's easy to become sub-healthy. Now just stand for a while." Mrs. Yoshikawa didn't want to get up.

"Eh? What does this have to do with work? Dad... don't pretend to be asleep, I even saw you peeking at me."

Mr. Yoshikawa thumped his waist, "My waist still hurts."

"..."

Yoshikawa Aoko took a long breath, grabbed the armrest, and didn't want to speak.

Starting from Kyoto, the tram passed one stop after another, and some passengers got off the train. Aoko finally squeezed into an empty seat, and there were two middle-aged people between her and her sister.

"Speaking of which, Sotani-kun has returned from Northeast China. Will he come to the station to pick up Anko?"

Sister could chat with her through strangers as if no one else was around, but Hongzi couldn't do it. After she asked again, she turned around and said, "No way."

"Why?"

She tilted her head awkwardly and said, "It would be weird to come here."

"Aren't Hongzi planning to stay at his place for a few days? I just asked Soya-kun to come over and help with the luggage."

The middle-aged man sitting next to him twitched his ears. Hongzi always had the feeling that he was waiting for him to speak, so he kept silent.

"Hongzi?"

"You're so annoying."

"Mom, Hongzi has reached the stage of rebellion."

"You're so annoying."

"mom?"

After another stop, the two middle-aged men in the middle got out of the car, and Qingzi immediately moved over.

"Our family is finally reunited."

"Isn't my brother-in-law still in Tokyo?"

"If he runs away in battle, what kind of family is he?"

"It's not my brother-in-law's fault that he was suddenly called back to work overtime..."

Qingzi raised his hands and plugged his ears.

Hongzi rolled his eyes and then fell silent.

"Is it true that Mr. Sotani won't come to pick up Anko?" Aoko thought of the question just now.

"I'm going to Akane's house to stay overnight, not Soya's house." There was no one else around, and Hongzi's communication with her sister became smoother, "And I haven't told Akane yet."

The Bon Festival was approaching, and after thinking about it, Mrs. Yoshikawa decided to go back to the countryside and stay for a few days.

Because her sister is back and because she has stayed at her grandma's house for a few days some time ago, Hongzi doesn't plan to go there and wants to stay at her best friend's house for a few days.

"Isn't this the same meaning?"

"no the same."

After a while, the tram finally arrived.

The Yoshikawa family got off the bus with their luggage. As soon as they walked out of the station, Hongzi was blocked by her sister who stopped suddenly.

Just as she was about to complain, Qingzi turned around and smiled at her.

"My boyfriend didn't come, but my 'girlfriend' came."

"Eh……"

Anko poked her head out from the side. Akane Kirino saw her and immediately waved, "Anko——"

"Akane?"

Not only Kirino Akane, Kirino Hiroyuki also came over and drove a car.

However, there were limited seats in the car, so Hongzi only put her luggage on the car and chose to walk back with Akane Kirino.

"My father and I just came back from outside. When we passed the station, we happened to see Hongzi's parents coming out."

"What a coincidence. Where did Akane go?"

"I sent something to a relative's house."

"That's it."

Passing by a convenience store, they each bought a bottle of cold drinks and continued walking back.

"correct……"

Anko told her that she planned to stay at Kirino's house for a few days.

"Okay, no problem." Kirino Akane was very happy, "The old house is now equipped with air conditioning."

"Eh, really?"

"Yeah, I just installed it the afternoon before yesterday."

This was an unexpected surprise, and Hongzi was even more happy, "That's great...but why is it so sudden?"

"Because I had a premonition that Hongzi would come to live in my house."

"Hey~ good~ happy~"

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"It's because Zongya said the heat was unbearable, and my mother had long wanted to install an air conditioner there, so she just installed it."

"It's so easy."

"right."

Hongzi pretended to be casual and asked, "Where is Zonggu? Are you at home?"

"No."

She was a little disappointed, "Sure enough, we are going to the shrine again."

"No, Zonggu is on duty outside."

"On duty?"

Kirino Akane nodded, "Anko, do you want to take a look?"

Hongzi was stunned for a moment, "Okay. Where is it?"

"Heqiu Jiaoban (Police Station)."

"Hey, intercourse?" She was stunned again, "Is Zonggu staying with the police?"

"Yes, it's amazing, isn't it? Do you want to go there now?"

"Come on...why is Soya where?"

Akane Kirino thought for a moment, "Special means at a special time?"

Hongzi didn't know why.

"Things of that world."

"oh."

Kouban was on the other side, and it was a little far away, so Akane Kirino suggested that she go back and pick up the bicycle first, and then ride there.

"Hongzi, just wait for me at the convenience store."

"good."

After a while, Kirino Akane rode over and took her with her.

"Isn't this Soya's car?"

"His car is easier to ride."
