The next day, Kyogoku Kukai woke up at almost ten o'clock in the morning. Although he is a comatose sleeping player, he usually wakes up on his own after sleeping for enough time, and this time getting up so late probably has something to do with the ease of going home.

It may also have something to do with last night's lost sleep.

He rolled over with the quilt in his arms, rubbed on the bed for a while, got up and went downstairs.

Kyogoku's mother was already preparing lunch, and when she saw Kyogoku Kukai coming downstairs, she greeted her, "Are you hungry, I left you grilled fish and miso soup." ”

Kyogoku Kukai shook his head: "No need, let's eat lunch together, I'll go exercise for a while." ”

"You kid, why don't you like breakfast like Mio. Okay, you just go and call Mio over and have breakfast early to save you two from starving. ”

“…… Okay, got it. With a word of agreement, Kyogoku Kukai trotted out of the house.

Feeling the fresh sea breeze unique to the island, Kyogoku Kukai gradually took a step.

There are not many permanent residents of Rebun Island, and the Kyogoku family is still a relatively remote place, and even if it is in a state of reconstruction, there are not many people on the way to Kyogoku Kukai.

After running around the neighborhood twice, Kyogoku Kukai set out on the path to Jinguji Mio's hometown again.

It was late last night, and his mind was also on other places, and when he came here during the day today, Kyogoku Kukai found out what the Jinguji Mio meant by repairs.

Some of the old houses that used to be dilapidated have been renovated, and even the dirt floor in the courtyard at the entrance is paved with neat stone slabs. Kyogoku Kukai's impression of the perennial untended yard is also full of flowers at the moment, and there are even a few tall trees transplanted on both sides of the yard.

Twisting a leaf, Kyogoku Kukai walked to the door and rang the doorbell a few times.

The door was quickly opened, and Naoko, who was still dressed in black, bowed to him: "Kyogoku-san." ”

"Good morning, Naoko, Mio-chan."

"The young lady is washing, and she said, if you come, please come into the house and wait a while."

Kyogoku Kukai hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

He followed Naoko into the back room, and the interior of the house was still familiar to him, except for some dilapidated furniture that had been replaced, and everything had been cleaned.

He stopped Naoko, who was about to make tea, and asked softly, "Did Mio bring back the Buddhist shrine?" ”

Naoko nodded.

Kyogoku Kukai sighed secretly, Uncle Jinguji was still unconscious in the hospital bed, and Jinguji Mio was now a real loner.

Putting his thoughts back in his mind, he walked towards the living room: "I'll go and pay a visit." ”

Walking into the living room, just like when I was a child, this is always the cleanest and brightest place.

Kyogoku Kukai walked to the Buddhist shrine and put on a stick of incense, and then bowed.

When he opened his eyes, there was the sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, Mio Jinguji was already at his side.

The girl smiled at him, then focused her eyes on her mother's tablet.

"Mom should be happy to be back here." She whispered.

Kyogoku Kukai glanced at her, the two have lived together since childhood, and they have laughed and cried when they see her, but this kind of confused and powerless posture is rarely seen.

He sighed secretly, and then said seriously: "Yes, after all, Auntie has lived here for a long time." ”

Jinguji Mio didn't know what she was thinking, she was stunned for a moment before she smiled and nodded: "Well, it will be." ”

The two stood in front of the shrine for a while, and Kyogoku Kukai told the girl's mother about her request to go to dinner, and Jinguji Mio nodded happily.

Naoko seems to have been left here by her to watch the house, and after sending the two out, she went back and closed the door.

"It's okay to let Naoko go to dinner together." Kyogoku Kukai said to the girl.

Jinguji Mio put her hands behind her back and said in a brisk tone: "There's no need, I'm relieved to put someone in the house, except for you, it's Naoko." ”

Except for me...... Kyogoku Kukai's thoughts unconsciously turned to last night's message, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Jinguji Mio didn't seem to see him at all, and instead teased, "Do you actually care about other people?" ”

The girl's teasing smile was like the way the two used to get along.

Kyogoku Sokai laughed and decided to end the topic.

He can't say that he cares about Naoko because she's someone next to Mio from your Jinguji Temple, right?

At that time, if she is misunderstood by Jinguji Mio, and you have to hurt her again later, it is better not to say it.

The girl glanced at him, but kept smiling and said no more.

The silent two returned to Kyogoku's house, and Jinguji Mio suddenly regained her lively appearance, and after a lunch, she coaxed Kyogoku's mother very happy.

After eating, Kyogoku's mother said to Kyogoku Kukai: "Didn't you say that you were going to cook for Uncle Tingtian in the evening, go buy some ingredients in the afternoon." ”

"Well, I know, I'll go in a minute."

"Oh, by the way, let's go to the ship port and buy it, Xiangshen is busy rebuilding here, and I can't buy anything." Kyo Daisuke added a sentence on the side.

There are two ports on Rebun Island, and the Kyogoku family lives near the port of Kafuka, where the dock is larger, and ships usually dock nearby, but it is also the place that was most severely affected by the last meteorite fall and is currently being rebuilt.

On the other side of the island, there is the smaller port of ship, which usually receives more tourists, but now, if you want to buy everything, you have to go along the coastal road to get there.

Kyogoku Kukai agreed, and prepared to get up and leave.

"How are you going to go?" Kyogoku's mother shouted from behind.

"Ride a bike." Kyogoku Kukai said.

The coastal road is still quite long, and it is not realistic for him to run.

Kyogoku's mother glanced at her son helplessly, she didn't like to go out since she was a child, and it was a bicycle to go to a distant place, but the boat was not short from here, and it would take two or three hours to ride a bicycle back and forth.

She pointed to the corner of the front yard, where a motorcycle was parked: "Ride that, your dad usually rides that." ”

"Okay." Although Kyogoku Kukai is not yet sixteen years old, the citizens of this small island will not be prosecuted, and even if they are caught, they will be scolded at most.

As for whether he can ride it, there is no need to worry, Uncle Tingtian's pickup truck is no problem for him.

Pushing the motorcycle out of the door, Kyogoku's mother came out of the house with two helmets, and she was followed by Mio Jinguji.

"Green Sword Fairy"

"Take Mio with you, just the two of you will play for a while, but don't come back too late." Kyogoku's mother handed over the helmet.

"Huh?" Kyogoku Kukai was about to refuse, but saw his mother's slightly threatening eyes again, "...... All right. ”

A hint of joy flashed in Mio Jinguji's eyes.
