After sitting in the car, Zonggu looked back at the three people behind him who were either excited or calm, and reminded them that the driver was wild and they must wear their seat belts.

Looking next to me, I saw the wild driver was working hard to reverse the car.

"This car is too big, it's not easy to back out..."

"Who made Miss Noma lazy when parking the car this morning?"

Soya sat in the familiar passenger seat, "Besides, this is obviously Fuyun Shrine's car."

"I went to Nara last night and came back too late, so I didn't return the car."

“What if someone else at the shrine wants to use the car?”

"Others?"

Noma Minami glanced at him and said, "I am the leader of the organization's action team stationed at Fuyun Shrine. I am the only one leading the team's actions - I thought Soya already knew about it."

"I understand now, team leader."

After struggling for several minutes, Noma Minami finally drove the commercial vehicle with the words "Fuyun Shrine" on it out of the parking lot.

Going down the winding mountain road, Zonggu looked at the students who occasionally appeared on the road ahead, and suddenly thought of something.

"Do you want to go back to the shrine first?"

"Why?"

"Miss Noma is still wearing a teacher's uniform."

She laughed, with a nonchalant look on her face.

"What does it matter? Who said that a miko must wear a miko uniform to work?"

Zongya has reason to believe that she can be so casual only because Kyoko is not here today.

At the foot of the mountain, the commercial vehicle went straight forward, crossed the railway line, and then drove north along the lakeside road.

Under the sunlight, the blue waves of Lake Biwa are rippling, and the light spots are connected into golden lines, flickering and jumping in the distance.

"Are you shy?" Noma Minami asked for no apparent reason.

Zonggu had never been here before and was looking ahead, "What?"

She glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "I'm talking about them."

He turned around and realized that Kirino Akane and Yoshikawa, who were sitting in the back, were indeed too contented along the way.

"What's wrong?"

"No... I just think it's a bit novel."

Kirino Akane, who was sitting behind him, moved closer and said, "I thought the conversation between Soya and the teacher was very interesting, so I accidentally forgot to speak."

Noma Minami smiled, "This is nothing."

"Hey. Where are we going now?" Kirino Akane asked.

"Hikone City. Do you know?"

"Of course. I'm a local in Golden Turtle City."

"Nowadays, it's all called Hikone Castle. It's a name you don't hear very often anymore." Minami Noma glanced at her in the rearview mirror again, "We just want to go there."

Hikone City is northeast of Konko City, and only then did Soya understand why she chose to bypass Lake Biwa from the north.

"Speaking of which, does Hikone City also count as the jurisdiction of Fuun Shrine?"

If so, the territory managed by Fuyun Shrine is a bit too big.

"What are you thinking of? Of course not." Minami Noma said, "The Spring Festival is being prepared over there recently, and the local shrine is too busy. We are going to help this time."

"I see."

"Excuse me……"

Yoshikawa Anko also spoke, "What happened over there?"

She was the only ordinary person in the car. She was unable to enter the sense of the spiritual observer, and she never participated in the conversation. Noma Minami almost ignored her.

"It's not a big deal. The client has a pair of armor from the Warring States Period in his home. He has been using it on his own in the past few days. We went there to investigate the cause."

"It's moving? It must be someone's prank." Yoshikawa guessed.

"Who knows."

"so……"

She paused, "Is this actually detective work?"

"Detective?"

Noma Minami laughed twice, "If we don't find anything after we go there, then we should really hand it over to the detective or the police."

What are you looking for?

Yoshikawa was a little confused, and then heard her conversation with Soya again.

"Isn't this kid an ordinary person? Why did he join this club?"

"Just to make up the numbers."

"Hello."

Zong Gu turned around and smiled at her.

"At least for now."

Yoshikawa frowned, becoming increasingly puzzled.

...

Around the north shore of Lake Biwa, the commercial vehicle carried the group through Takayama City, Nagahama and Yonehara, and finally arrived at the destination of the trip, Hikone City.

Considering that it was Soya's first time here, Noma Minami made a special detour to the vicinity of Hikone Castle.

Looking from a distance, two moats surround the ancient city, with layers upon layers inside. The castle tower at the top, with its white walls and black tiles, looks grim in the sunlight.

But he just looked at it a few times and didn't show much interest.

"Ah, I thought boys liked this kind of thing more."

"What era do you think this is?"

Seeing that he was not interested, Noma Minami didn't stay any longer, "Maybe it's because Souya is different from ordinary boys."

"It sounds like Ms. Noma knows boys very well." Soya said casually.

"Don't say that, boys and I also have some common interests."

"..."

Zonggu didn't answer and turned to look to the side.

Noma Minami turned the steering wheel, and the commercial vehicle turned into a slightly narrow road. There were residential areas on both sides, and there were only a few pedestrians on the road.

Before she reached the next intersection, she couldn't help it anymore.

"Don't you ask?"

Zonggu didn't even turn his head, "What are you asking? I already knew it."

"Who told you?"

"No one told me specifically, I just saw it with my own eyes, combined with some hearsay...and Miss Noma herself did not hide it."

Noma Minami's so-called common hobby with boys is girls - she likes girls.

"oops."

She stepped on the accelerator lightly, "Sure enough, you can't hide your love."

"..."

Even if the topic of love is not excluded, considering Minami Noma's character that is rough and not detailed most of the time, she is not a suitable conversation partner;

Just thinking about what he saw during this period, Zonggu was still a little curious.

"It is said that Miss Noma has four girlfriends in school, ranging from colleagues to students, from all grades."

"How is that possible!"

"Three?"

"Not one."

There was no follow-up, and the love topic that was suddenly brought up ended suddenly because they had already arrived at their destination.

Soya looked out the car window, "Is this the client's house, Mr. Miyagi?"

"Probably so."

Noma Minami looked for a place to park, "There is no bigger building than this nearby."

The client's house is quite grand, with a tall and neat wall that is dozens of meters long on one side. The wooden house inside looks to be quite old, but it is fairly well maintained.
