Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

She looked at Haruhiko with a smile, full of anticipation.

"Ah."

Haruhiko had already heard the game notification sound.

I acquired a skill called Archery Mastery.

It's the same as the previous gun mastery.

However, we're only at the first level right now, so we don't have any experience points yet.

Even so, it is enough.

Haruhiko drew his bow and released an arrow that hit the target but missed the bullseye.

"You shot pretty accurately."

Hoshino Rin was somewhat surprised and said, "I thought you would miss the target."

While psychics have an advantage, Haruhiko didn't use his psychic powers, so he was only slightly stronger than a normal person.

The first arrow almost hit the bullseye, which was truly remarkable.

“It’s the teacher’s good teaching.”

Haruhiko said with a smile.

"Hehe, that's it."

Hoshino Rin, with one hand on her hip and her chest puffed out, said, "It would be hard to find a better teacher than me in the entire archery club."

Haruhiko glanced subconsciously at the youthful version of the snow-capped mountain.

Suddenly, I thought of Hotaru Hoshino again.

He climbed that night.

"It's a pity you're not a priestess."

Hoshino Rin chuckled and asked, "Haruhiko-kun, are you interested in changing your major?"

"..."

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

I am a man.

The idea of ​​a shrine maiden is too incongruous.

Although there were male priestesses, they could not match the achievements of the female priestesses.

Otherwise, he shouldn't be called a shrine maiden, but a shrine man.

"Okay, let's continue."

Seeing his expression, Hoshino Rin's smile grew even brighter.

Half an hour later, Haruhiko's accuracy improved significantly; half of his ten arrows hit the bullseye, and even then, they were more than sixty meters away.

"Haruhiko-kun."

Hoshino Rin handed over a bottle of mineral water and said, "Take a break."

Without using his spiritual powers, Haruhiko had already been shooting arrows multiple times, and beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead.

He unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip, and then sat down to rest with Hoshino Rin on a nearby bench.

Haruhiko glanced at the girl beside him and immediately felt ashamed.

Despite being so long, she doesn't look tired at all.

Hoshino Rin seems to have better stamina than him.

Is this the magic of twin inheritance?

After Haruhiko practiced the Yuki-onna Breathing Technique, his physical abilities had actually improved significantly.

Even so, they can't compare to the Hoshino sisters who train together.

Just then, Haruhiko's schoolbag, which he had placed to the side, began to vibrate.

is a cell phone.

He took it out and discovered an unknown number.

"Hey?"

Haruhiko answered doubtfully.

But no one responded.

"Did someone make a mistake?"

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow, waited a few seconds, and then hung up the phone.

But the phone vibrated again the next second.

However, this time it's a message.

"It's me, Hotaru Hoshino. Remember to save my number."

Haruhiko glanced at it and was taken aback.

He remembered that Hoshino Hotaru didn't use a cell phone before.

At the time, he thought she was an anomaly who only knew how to cultivate.

Unexpectedly, I bought a mobile phone in the blink of an eye.

However, considering what happened the night before, buying a phone wasn't surprising.

But Hotaru Hoshino can't speak, so how can they communicate?

video chat?

Haruhiko thought to himself that he would sign up for a class later to learn lip reading and sign language.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to chat with Hotaru Hoshino.

Anyway, he has game cheats, so he learns everything quickly.

"who is it?"

Hoshino Rin noticed his actions and casually asked a question.

Out of consideration for her privacy, she did not lean closer to look at his phone screen.

After all, this kind of thing is more appropriate to do when the relationship has progressed further.

"It's Hotaru Hoshino."

Haruhiko replied, "She bought a cell phone and asked me to save her number."

He didn't hide it, after all, it wasn't a secret.

Furthermore, after Hoshino Hotaru buys a phone, she will definitely exchange numbers with her family as soon as possible.

"She bought a cell phone?"

Hoshino Rin looked bewildered and said, "How come I didn't know?"

"...?"

Haruhiko froze on the spot.

Good guy!

Did I reveal something?

But he never dreamed that Hotaru Hoshino wouldn't tell Rin Hoshino.

"I probably didn't have time to tell you."

Haruhiko quickly came up with an excuse.

Hoshino Rin was a little confused, but didn't think much of it.

The main reason is that Hotaru Hoshino usually acts very coldly.

Four thousand words. Second and third updates.

Chapter 128. Sister-in-law

Let's end it here for today.

Hoshino Rin lowered the longbow in her hand.

She exhaled, her breathing slightly rapid.

After three consecutive hours of training, even with her physical condition, she felt exhausted.

After all, she was only at the second level.

Although it is somewhat special, it is still a being of flesh and blood.
