Hellfire 09
Take the Tokaido Shinkansen west from Tokyo for a few hours and you will reach Japan's "Millennium Capital" - Kyoto.
"It's going to rain."
Ieiri Naoko held out her hand, and a raindrop landed on her palm, bringing a cool touch. Angeki opened her oil-paper umbrella before Ieiri Naoko could say anything. "Purely handmade. Isn't it beautiful?"
The umbrella's surface is available in only two hues: red and white. The red is intense, the white pure. The contrast between the two is eye-catching. The ribs are delicately woven from thin bamboo strips, while the handle is made of wood, intricately carved with patterns.
“Very beautiful,” you exclaimed.
The raindrops dye the sky white, and are chasing you unstoppably.
It's too difficult to use one umbrella to protect three people from wind and rain.
"Why is it raining?" Iori-senpai angrily tells you and Nazori to run. "It looks like it's getting heavier!"
"Zenin, let's go back and watch the sports event with Kagi-senpai." Ieiri Naoko was indifferent. She had no interest in any of these activities. But since Zenin had pulled her along, she had no choice but to come.
Besides, it had been a long time since Ieiri Shoko and Zenin had a proper conversation. Gojo's constant presence near Zenin had annoyed Ieiri Shoko. She couldn't stand Gojo and Zenin being so close; neither of them had ever done that.
Holding hands and hugging.
This is all Ieiri Shoko and Zenin can do.
Friends and lovers, friendship and love, are obviously on the same level, right?
Gojo is too much.
"No, Nozomi~ I want to do something to make the rain stop soon! We have to go out again tonight... Is Hatsu okay? It's raining so hard... What if I get sick... Gojo will kill me!!!"
"Iori-senpai is exaggerating. Wu wouldn't kill anyone...whether he will get sick or not, wouldn't Iori-senpai just ask Naoko?"
"Glass~"
"Zen-in's condition is stable. Let's find shelter quickly. He'll be fine."
"There's a restaurant that has delicious mackerel sushi..." An Uta murmured. She had originally wanted to take them there today.
The heavy rain formed a curtain that made it impossible to see the road ahead.
"Then let's go."
"Hatsu, you don't even ask how far it is! It's raining so hard!"
"Iori-senpai is strong and healthy, so he should be able to take me and Naoko with him, right?"
“That’s right!”
"Ian-senpai can even predict when it will rain. How amazing!"
Zen temples are always praising people.
"It's nothing. I've been living in Kyoto for a while now, and I think thunder is really loud."
"There won't be thunder in this rain, Iori-senpai."
"Yeah! I believe you, Hazu. Come to think of it, you grew up in Kyoto, right? There are only so many sorcerers out there, and I didn't even know you before..."
"Well...it's a long story..."
"Let's cut to the chase, Glass?"
"We better hurry, Diva-senpai."
Kyoto's food, mostly made with wild vegetables and fresh fish, is rich in flavor, juicy, and unique. Of course, sushi is found throughout the country, but each region has its own unique characteristics.
"I think it's delicious. What do you think, Nitro?"
"I want to try some of the wine in the store."
"Nitrous is a minor."
"Please, Zenin." Ieiri Shoko clasped her hands together.
"The ritual isn't meant for places like this." You righteously refused. Ieiri Naoko looked at you pitifully, "It's so rare for us to come out, and the Zen temple is still rejecting me~"
"Drink in moderation. I'll keep an eye on how much Nazori drinks. Being drunk can be troublesome."
"I'm a heavy drinker, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. That Gojo guy is no match for me."
"Gojo is so scary when he's drunk!" Angehime was still frightened.
"Iori-senpai, do you know what Satoru looks like when he's drunk?"
Hearing this, An Utahime was shocked: "Hatsu don't you know?"
"Glass, should I know?"
"Utahime-senpai, Zenin has been in bed for over a year. It's impossible for Zenin to know everything that happened during that year. Besides, Gojo wouldn't tell Zenin about something like getting drunk and embarrassing himself."
"Nose! Is that embarrassing? That's the reincarnation of a perverted murderer!" Senior Iori said while waving his arms. Now you know how scary Wu is when he's drunk.
"Since we girls are out together, it's better not to talk about boys' matters." We can't let Senior An and Glass continue to complain about Wu, otherwise it will take three days and three nights to finish.
"Not mentioning Gojo? Doesn't Zenin miss him? Zenin is staying at Kyoto High School tonight, and then going to Tokyo Dome with Utahime-senpai tomorrow. He won't be back at school much after that."
"We just met this morning, so I shouldn't be missing him at noon. Actually... I might not love him as much as Wu thinks."
"What do you mean?" Senior An, you are too excited.
"When I agreed to the tour with the agency, I had no idea that I would be separated from Wu for a long time."
"That's normal. Gojo will definitely come to you. Hazu must know this subconsciously."
"Then this relationship is too unfair."
"What's the point of asking Gojo for fairness?! Isn't it more pitiful to have to endure that kind of love from him!?"
"I'm not pitiful, Senior An." You shrugged and said, "Forget it, let Wu get used to the separation." Wu loved too deeply and was too tightly entangled.
"That's right!"
"Let's have a toast!" Angehime raised her glass, Ieiri Shoko raised her glass, and you also raised your glass.
"Isn't that a bar in the はつ cup?"
"You're not old enough to drink yet," you said seriously. Ieiri Shoko and Iori Utaha both laughed, holding their stomachs.
"Hatsu gave Glass a chocolate with a liqueur filling, right?"
"What happens to the remaining wine at the Zen temple?"
"There's none left. I used them all up. Glass doesn't like sweets and I want to give her chocolate, so I'll have to make it myself."
Glass pinched your face and said, "Zenyuan really has good intentions~"
"I hope Naoko likes it. We are good friends. Of course I care about Naoko's opinion."
friend……
"Very good friends~" Iori-senpai shook his head. "Glass still calls me by my last name, はつ..."
"Because Naoko won't call Wu and Jie by their first names. Naoko treats everyone equally. Iori-senpai, calling them by their first or last name won't affect the relationship between Naoko and me."
"It affects our relationship!" Iori-senpai burped. "You're calling me Diva-senpai like Naoko-chan! That Mei-mei guy is even better, 'Mei-senpai'."
"Speaking of Mingming...Hatsu gave her a lot of money, right? Why would she give it to her? The spring outing is over, so why don't we organize an autumn outing..."
Many promises made in the past have not been fulfilled.
"We have to wait until September, An-senpai."
"I know Hatsu is very busy... September is September... This time we have a deal... I, I will talk to Mingming later... I won't let her... ask for money..."
"Ganoderma, Iori-senpai can drink a lot, right?"
"You can't beat me."
Gojo, Getsu, and Zenin themselves don't drink. Gojo says the old man in Zenin's family is also a heavy drinker. Zenin only knows that drinking should be done in moderation and that excessive drinking is harmful, but he has no idea what the average person's alcohol tolerance is. Even the singer-senpai is considered a heavy drinker.
"Then from now on, Naoko can't drink more than Iori-senpai."
"Zen-in, I know my own body, and I know it all. Let me lean on you." Ieiri Naoko rested on your shoulder. Did the scent of Zen-in change a bit? It became sweeter. You didn't need to think to know where this cloying sweetness came from.
It turns out that Ieiri Nozomi still hates sweets.
Sugar can obviously make people happy, so why do we hate sweets?
Hate is hate, just like like, there is no reason.
Zenyuan is looking at his phone.
