The glory of Kyoto wings

Chapter 221

In Ugawa, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, the water surface of Lake Biwa is sparkling, and the car walks slowly around the lake.

It takes less than half an hour to drive from Kyoto Prefecture.

Today is the winter vacation. As a scenic spot far from downtown Kyoto, tourists are not so noisy, and there are not so many people on the riverside in the afternoon.

"Mr. Minamoto, Miss Yoshikage and Miss Sakihat went to a coffee shop in Fushimi District an hour ago."

"Isn't it normal to go to a coffee shop?"

"Miss Royal Medicine Bag also went there just now."

While talking, the car gradually stopped on the side of the road, Minamoto Raimiko stared out the window, at the cloudless blue sky and the endless Lake Biwa.

The vermilion torii in the distance stands in the lake, looking from a distance, it looks like a mysterious gate connecting heaven and earth.

Withdrawing his eyes from the window, he frowned and looked at Yong Shanying who was sitting in the driver's seat ahead, tapped his fingers on the armrest, and meditated for a while.

"Are there any signs of conflict between them?"

"According to the news sent back just now, there was some excitement during the conversation, but they didn't do anything until they left."

Yong Shanying stepped on the brakes carefully, remembering the news from his colleagues, looked ahead and replied in a low voice.

Minamoto Raimiko touched his chin, quickly settled the matter and said, "Then don't worry about them."

In fact, he had noticed Xiaoteng and Tianhai's small actions a few days ago, but he didn't ask about it.

Including Tianhai's refusal to tell the truth to himself.

He also didn't want to go into too much detail.

Everyone has their own ideas, and he is not a control freak, as long as he does not exceed his bottom line, everything is up to them.

As for the source of this information.

Naturally, after Minamoto Laiguang knew that Yong Shanying was retired from the Foreign Corps, he personally inspected several of his friends who secretly protected them.

A group of two people who track and protect are divided into day shift and night shift, and their rest time is also guaranteed.

Nagayama Hideo had previously proposed whether to arrange for someone to protect him at night, Minamoto Raimitsu vetoed it, mainly because the basic security in the Heian Shrine was sufficient.

As for the real danger, only one or two people may not be able to solve the problem. Recently, he has the idea of ​​buying the Security Club. After all, there is nowhere to use the money in his hand, and staying in the bank will only eat ashes.

Thinking of this, he restrained his thoughts, Minamoto Raimitsu looked at the torii in the lake in the distance, there were many people walking by the lake, and he also saw the figure waiting quietly.

"Just wait for me around here."

Opening the car door, letting the breeze mixed with the water vapor of Lake Biwa pour in, Minamoto turned his head and gave orders.

"Understood, Mr. Yuan." Yong Shanying replied.

The water vapor rushing towards him after getting off the car, and the endless Lake Biwa made him squint his eyes unconsciously.

Shirahida Shrine, a holy place for punching cards.

In fact, the heat has dropped a lot in the past few years. Apart from the torii in the lake called the Gate of the Sky, there is indeed no other commendable scenery, and the location is remote enough to be difficult to walk.

But even so, there are still young girls who come here especially to visit this shrine.

Minamoto Yorimitsu walked along the road to the torii, stepped over the guardrail and walked outside the driveway, and along the way, he could see many students and tourists who came here for a walk.

Primary school students wearing yellow hats were led by the teacher to stand in a row, chirping curiously.

Female college student taking selfie with scissors hands.

There are also photographers with long hair and unshaven beards taking wedding photos of couples standing by the lake.

Minamoto Raimitsu finally came to the torii gate in the lake.

Near the edge of the lake shore, the lake water is crystal clear, and you can see the aquatic plants under the water surface, as well as the sound of the lake water hitting the shore when it is swept back by the wind.

A scarlet torii stands in the water.

The crystal clear water is the bottom, and the blue sky is the back, exuding an ethereal atmosphere.

And on the shore closest to this torii gate.

Youdao's familiar figure was facing away from him.

The figure was wearing a long skirt, but it was uncharacteristically pure black. In his right hand, he was holding a few bunches of white and green flowers. It was too far to tell what kind it was.

There was a small half of her face in her line of sight, she was looking at the distance of Lake Biwa in a daze, her eyes were a little blurred, her pure black dress was blown up, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Standing on the most shore of the rugged rock.

In the closest place, whenever the lake water rolls back, it splashes a little to the tail of the skirt.

Minamoto Raimitsu walked behind her.

She spoke when she seemed to notice.

"Miss Shengzi."

The voice fell with the breeze.

The opponent's shoulders shrugged slightly.

Then he turned his body and looked over.

The southeast wind wasn't strong at first, but it formed a geographical effect by the lake. Shengzi Shengu turned half of his body, with long black hair covering his collarbone.

The ends of her hair dangled slightly on her white collarbone.

It's only been a few days since I've seen him, and Shengu Shengzi seems to have lost a lot of weight, and even his eyelids are slightly darker, as if he hasn't had a good rest, but light makeup can cover most of it.

Minamoto Raimitsu wore a black trench coat today.

The woolen lining is used to keep warm. Although he is thin, the width of his shoulders perfectly supports the windbreaker, and his slightly messy black hair is swaying in the wind.

Coupled with his deep eyes, and a restrained but radiant temperament, he is like a jade stone under a clear spring.

Minamoto Raimitsu looked at the other person's cheeks with only light makeup on, and took the lead in breaking the silence between the two of them for a few seconds, looked directly into her eyes and asked:
"Today's weather is not bad, but just standing by the lake dressed like this, it's still relatively cold, right?"

"The workplace is very unfriendly to women. Even if I have attended business occasions, I have to wear short or long skirts in winter. I am used to the temperature difference."

Shengzi Shengu gathered her hair and clamped it to her ears, with a somewhat reluctant expression, still holding the few bouquets of flowers in her hand.

"Why don't we meet at home?"

Obviously, the straight-line distance between the two of them may not even exceed 300 meters, even if it takes only 2 minutes to walk, they have to make an appointment to meet in Takashima City.

The torii in the lake on the right is indeed beautiful.

But other than that, it's gone, and the other party's appearance, no matter how you look at it, looks a little hurt.

Are you really guilty of yourself?

This idea flashed in Minamoto's mind and then went out, he still chose to loosen the outside and tighten the inside.

"It is indeed more appropriate to visit at home, but we live too close together, so it seems that I want to save trouble."

Shengzi Shengu paused, tightened his grip on the flowers, raised his eyes and looked at him quietly: "Besides, I'm also afraid of disturbing your good business."

In fact, she didn't want to say this sentence.

But there are some things that seem to be held in my heart for too long, and I can only say them after drinking. Now that I meet someone, I finally have an outlet to vent.

However, after saying it, seeing Minamoto Raimiko's expression paused, she secretly regretted it.

Minamoto Raimitsu didn't take what she said.

Instead, he set his eyes on her hands.

Staring at the bunches of flowers blown away by the wind, he asked.

"Are the flowers in your hand meant for me?"

Shengzi Shengu was slightly startled when he heard the words, and said after a while: "I picked this at the side of the road. If you like it, I can't refuse it if you want to take it."

Minamoto smiled and held out his hand.

Shengzi Shengu narrowed his slender eyes, but remained silent for a while, then handed over the flowers in his hand.

"The flower language of buckwheat flowers, I remember being lovers."

Minamoto Larimitsu was pinching the bouquet, there was still some residual temperature on it, but the flowers had already been blown away.

Pick it up and examine it in front of your eyes.

The white flower buds can't smell any fragrance when placed on the tip of the nose, because the wind by the lake is too strong.

Shengzi Shengu was silent for a moment and suddenly said:
"Sometimes I am very surprised. Regardless of the background that can be investigated, just based on your age and life trajectory, your knowledge and courage are too different from ordinary people."

Minamoto Larimitsu smiled when he heard the words, and put down the buckwheat flower in his hand: "Even if it is a wealthy family or a consortium, there are places you can't see, and there are times when you stumble."

"That's true." Shengzi Shengu nodded.

While she was still thinking for a while, Minamoto Laimitsu turned around with the flowers, and her voice came to her ears with the wind.

"Let's walk along the shoreline of the lake. You can't keep looking at the torii gate. It feels like you have to cross it."

"Then please pay attention to the slippery feet."

The two walked side by side on the rough gravel road.

Because Lake Biwa is relatively large.

So after a long time, the waves came over and over again, and there was a layer of fine gravel on the shore.

Although it is difficult to walk with pebbles, they walk slowly, so they will not fall and slip.

The atmosphere became quiet again.

Shengzi Shengu has always been slightly pursing her delicate red lips. Today, she doesn't look like a wife, but with her hair drooping on her shoulders, she looks more like a charming sister next door.

They walked for a long time along the shoreline of the lake.

But Lake Biwa is so big, even if you walk for a day and a night, you will never be able to go back to the original point just now.

Shen Gu Seiko's mind was a little confused.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Minamoto Yorimitsu who was also walking silently, and the hope and disappointment in the other party's eyes when he was under the Kyoto Tower that night appeared in his mind.

Just as her footsteps were getting slower and slower, and she was about to speak with her slender eyes drooping slightly, Yuan Laiguang, who was a little ahead of her body, spoke first.

"Actually, I've been wanting to apologize all this time."

"Under the Kyoto Tower that day, I asked you with the resentment of being calculated by your father. I wanted you to give me an answer. I even kept taunting you and wanted you to admit that you didn't lie to me, but I forgot that the person was your father."

"I can see that you felt guilty at the time. Maybe what Uncle Kamiya said and did was different from what you thought, but he is your father after all. Even if he didn't do much, it shouldn't make you turn against me. .”

"To be clear, since Miss Shengzi is willing to take the initiative to come to see me, it proves that you are still sincere to me. It's just that I was a little sensitive last time and felt that there is something pure in your heart that I imagined."

Minamoto Raimiko's voice is calm, but there is no feeling of indifference, just explaining his thoughts.

Speaking of the first two sentences, they are actually okay.

But upon hearing the last sentence, Shengzi Shengu's eyes moved slightly, as if he had been plucked somewhere in his heartstrings, and his eyes gradually became darker than before.

However, he raised his head to speak.

Just look at Kamimoto Raimiko's soul-stirring eyes.

"Everyone is selfish in their hearts. In fact, like me, I may be more selfish than you. I say unabashedly that I am an ordinary person, so I want you to be more sincere."

"Men are like this, just like a student who fell in love in high school, always thinking that just after dating, the girl defied the family for herself and failed the family who gave birth to her and raised her, but she didn't pay anything."

"This kind of behavior is very despicable, and it was what I despise the most before, but I actually did it myself, but we have no relationship, so the mistakes are relatively small."

Shengzi Shengu stood silent for a moment, his mood was more complicated than when he came here, he completely lost the arrogance of the past, and instead showed guilt.

"I came today to apologize."

"I didn't lie to you, but my father was really rude. At that time, I'm afraid that what I said would look extremely pale in front of you."

"Actually, I can understand your feelings. Perhaps the greater the expectation, the more disappointed the result will be."

Speaking of this, she didn't know what she thought of, her expression became even worse, and she even hugged her arms.

Minamoto Raikou noticed her movement, pondered for a while and asked, "My father wants you to get married again?"

"That's not true. With my current situation, I still have the ability to break free from the so-called shackles in this regard."

Shengzi Shengu exhaled lightly, thinking of what his father said that day, he laughed at himself like laughing:
"It's just that he is like you said, since he is in that position, he can never be pure again."

"Does Miss Shengzi have anyone she wants to associate with?"

Minamoto Raikou nodded, then asked suddenly.

Shengzi Shengu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Didn't you yourself say before that you are willing to have a child with me? Have you regretted it now?"

"Aren't you afraid of coveting the property of my Shengu family?"

Minamoto Raikou also said with a smile.

The atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Shengzi Shengu pursed his red lips slightly, with a slight smile on his face, and joked as usual:
"It's all children, and you can't give birth yourself, so what's there to worry about?"

Minamoto looked into her eyes.

She also looked at Minamoto Raimitsu without showing any timidity.

They stared at each other for ten seconds.

"I still don't make such jokes."

Minamoto turned around, and walked in the direction he came from again, his voice lost the color of the joke:
"My deal with you is over. In fact, putting aside the previous misunderstanding, we can still be normal friends. If there is still a grudge, it will naturally fade away."

"Have all the previous advantages been taken for nothing?" Shengzi Shengu's eyes were filled with resentment: "This is a real man."

As she followed, she added:
"All I can say is that young people have time to waste."

"I am not young anymore. According to my parents' wishes, I will consider getting married after graduation."

Minamoto Raikou looked at his feet, stepping on smooth cobblestones, deliberately keeping a distance from her body:

"Let's not talk about the distance, I will go to Asahikawa in Hokkaido this Saturday to attend my friend's wedding."

Shengzi Shengu was stunned when he heard the words, then narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you want to get married just by looking at it?"

"This kind of thing can't be decided so easily."

Minamoto Raikou glanced at her and said:
"In fact, marriage is a shackle. Only when you find the right person, will you put on the shackles willingly."

"You have the qualifications and appearance. I'm afraid there are countless little girls who like you. Let's choose slowly."

"Actually, I prefer older ones."

"I know you like college girls."

"I'm not kidding. Marriage doesn't depend on the background and conditions. The first choice should be the character and the overall situation. It is definitely better to be older."

Shengzi Shengu was silent for a moment, and walked faster than before, standing beside him and asked, "How do you like it?"

"Like is of course the prerequisite for these."

Minamoto Raimitsu gave his own true answer.

Seiko Kamiya fell into silence again.

Looking at his not-so-broad but exceptionally tall back, she hesitated for a while in her heart.

Father's last words came to mind.

Thinking of her age and the things she was about to face, she felt that there was no need to hesitate any longer.

pure complexity
The words Minamoto Raimitsu once said kept lingering in her heart, bewildering like a magic voice.

He was obviously just a young man who was a teenager.

Why can you understand your own difficulties?Why can I know my own difficulties for the family?And why can you have such courage at this age?
Looking at Minamoto's back.

The curiosity in his heart obviously broke out, Shengzi Shengu squeezed his fingers, and remembered the feeling that day when he took off the three flowers on his sideburns and was close to breathing.

This feeling will make her very stupid.

But some things are out of control.

She finally couldn't hold back the thoughts in her heart.

"I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Minamoto Raiko looked at her quietly.

Shengzi Shengu asked slowly: "When I called that day, who was next to you at that time?"

She doesn't really care who it is.

But asking is the only way to prove that you care.

No matter what it feels like, Shengzi Shengu knows clearly that she really wants to get him first.

As for who the previous person was.

Those are insignificant names.

Minamoto looked at her and blinked.

Finally answered her question.

"Mizusawa Summer Night."

"Who!?"
