Sugawara Kyoko thanked Soya for taking action at the critical moment to eliminate the evil energy body and save the gods. Soya thanked her for accepting all the "credit" he gave her.

Most people saw that it was Kyoko who shot down the evil spirit with an arrow, and also heard that "the evil spirit was destroyed by Fuyun Shrine Sugawara Kyoko". Some of the facts she saw with her own eyes plus some appropriate hints, if she did not raise any objections herself

, everyone will accept this statement;

As for the person who actually killed the evil spirit with his own hands, some people may care, but it is not important - anyway, they are all people from Fuyun Shrine in name.

Soya didn't want to be in the limelight, and what happened after shooting the god was not expected. He and Kyoko didn't discuss it, but she was able to cooperate with his statement, which made him surprised and grateful.

"Are you cooperating...I was just distracted by Tsukuyomi-sama's affairs and had no time to think about other things."

"Whatever you say, senior sister, I just hope that senior sister will not intentionally correct the previous statement in the future, if you really thank me."

"Repay a favor with kindness."

Zonggu smiled and nodded.

Jingzi glanced at him and said, "I understand."

The two of them have returned to the social office. In the largest room, Asagiri Suzu is sitting among the three shrine maidens, and the ritual to get rid of the filthy atmosphere of Huangquan is still going on.

Soya came back and yawned after looking at it for a while. Kyoko asked him to go to his room to rest as before.

"It's almost five o'clock. I'll get up after a little sleep."

Arriving at the room, Zonggu yawned again, "I have to go back later and then go to school."

After a hard night, Jingzi looked a little sleepy.

"If you don't get enough rest, you can go to school in the afternoon."

"No...if I really can't bear it anymore, I will go to the health room." He lay down, "It's already a bit difficult to keep up with the progress of high school. Missing classes will be even more troublesome."

"Yeah."

Kyoko did not leave directly, but stood aside and looked at him for a while, "Is this Soya-san's insistence on ordinary people's lives?"

"Yes, I am an ordinary person."

Soya closed his eyes, "Sugawara-senpai, will you go to school today?"

"Won't."

Jingzi shook her head, "There are more important things tonight. I have to stay awake and use it to refresh myself during the day."

"What's more important...the festival?"

"Yes."

"Even if something like this happened, wouldn't the festival be canceled or postponed?"

"This is tradition."

Zonggu didn't know what the reason was for not being postponed, and he didn't intend to delve into it. He thought about it and said:

"I will come over this afternoon. If there are any homework or handouts, I can help the senior sister bring them to the shrine."

"Thank you." Jingzi accepted his kindness, "I will let my classmates prepare when the time comes."

She remembered something again.

"Sotani-san, what we talked about the night before yesterday has to be postponed now."

"What...oh, did you say part-time job? I understand."

Zong Gu opened his eyes and let himself regain some consciousness, "After today's incident, the Spirit Awareness Organization will probably be busy for a while. It will be okay."

"Thanks."

Kyoko felt that she had discovered some ways to communicate with Soya: as long as it did not affect or interfere with his life as an ordinary person, he was still easy to talk to.

Just like herself, apart from the affairs of the shrine and the spiritual awakener organization, the only thing she cares about is probably her sister Yuzi...

When he came back to his senses, Zonggu in front of him had closed his eyes and was breathing evenly and steadily.

"..."

Fell asleep.

Kyoko pulled the quilt over him, looked at the time again, and decided to wake him up in an hour, and she would go home to rest.

Before that, she needed to sort out what happened tonight.

"First of all, Lord Tsukuyomi..."

...

The morning sun was rising, but the morning light had not yet shone into the yard.

The door didn't open for a moment, Kirino Akane was startled, and then used more strength.

Still didn't pull it open.

"What's wrong?" Yoshikawa Anko who was standing behind asked.

"The door is still locked."

Kirino Akane lay down on the frosted glass and saw only a blur.

"It's strange, I usually open the door first..."

"Isn't Souya still up?"

"It's possible."

She took two steps back and looked toward the second-floor window.

"Soya——"

"bell--"

After shouting twice more, there was still no response, so Kirino Akane and Yoshikawa had to go around to the other side.

Fortunately, the door on the side was not locked, so the two opened the sliding door and entered the house from the living room.

"It's so rare... I haven't gotten up yet."

There was no one in the kitchen, and it was deserted. Akane Kirino came upstairs and realized that neither of them was in the room.

"Eh..."

The schoolbag left in the room dispelled her speculation that the two of them would go to school early, but the matter did not become clear.

So making a phone call became a natural choice.

"beep……"

The waiting time was a little long, and when Akane Kirino was about to say something to Yoshikawa, the call was connected.

"Hello……"

"Soya!"

"..."

Kirino Akane: "Where are you?"

"...It's so cold."

She was stunned.

Whose voice is this...a woman?

Looking out the bright window and looking at Kyoko shivering beside the bed, Soya, who had just woken up, was also in a daze holding his cell phone.

"I'm...outside."

"where?"

Soya: "Fuun Shrine."

Kirino Akane: "Why?"

"I went to kill that evil spirit last night."

Not only Zonggu's explanation, but also the sound from the other side came clearly from the microphone:

"...Sorry, I woke you up."

"Um...did I fall asleep...Sorry! I..."

"It's okay. Sugawara-senpai, please continue to sleep. It's time for me to leave."

"I'm sorry... I promised to wake Soya-san up..."

"It's okay, now is the right time. It's time to return this bed to Sugawara-senpai."

"..."

Rustling, chaotic sounds, footsteps, the sound of the sliding door being opened...and then the sound of him talking to her again.

"Tirino, are you still listening?"

Of course she was listening, "Woman?"
To be continued...
