Tokyo: Starting from the Miko Sister

She just thought that Hoshino Hotaru heard the noise and came out to see her.

It just so happened that she went to the kitchen, so she could only sit and wait face to face with Haruhiko.

Hoshino Rin put down the tea tray and poured three cups of black tea.

"Thank you."

Haruhiko took it and took a sip.

He felt that the black tea brewed by the two sisters tasted the same.

Maybe it’s because they use the same black tea.

"Haruhiko-kun, do you want to stay and rest tonight?"

Hoshino Rin pretended to be calm and said, "Izumo Shrine has many guest rooms, and there is no need to rush."

Hearing this, Hoshino Hotaru also raised her head and looked at him.

"I'll go back after dinner."

Haruhiko glanced at Hoshino Hotaru out of the corner of his eye and said, "We have the teleportation array, so it won't be a problem."

He had promised before, so now he could only refuse.

Hoshino Rin was a little disappointed, but okay.

Anyway, even if Haruhiko stayed here overnight, nothing would happen between the two of them.

"Well."

Hoshino Rin nodded and said, "I'll take you there after dinner."

"Sorry for the trouble, Rin."

Haruhiko explained seriously, "The main reason is that I plan to get up early tomorrow to go to New Year's greetings. I'll come to Izumo Shrine next time."

"It's ok."

Hoshino Rin was slightly startled and shifted her gaze to look at the teacup in her hand.

Being stared at with such sincere eyes made her feel a little flustered.

"Maybe not next time."

Haruhiko noticed her reaction and couldn't help but smile, "We'll meet at the Takamagahara Ruins soon."

"Too."

Hoshino Rin exhaled lightly, trying to remain calm, and said, "Izumo Shrine has already started looking for the ruins. Once they are confirmed, I will ask my mother if I can let Haruhiko-kun participate."

and many more.

Isn’t this idea a little far-fetched?

Haruhiko didn't believe that Hoshino Aoi would allow him to participate.

After all, it is a relic unique to Izumo Shrine.

He is an outsider after all.

Haruhiko's previous idea was to participate in the relics jointly constructed by Izumo Shrine and the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

the reason is simple.

The newly formed exploration team can only explore the ruins on the fourth and fifth floors.

Such ruins are fraught with danger, and often a single force cannot handle them.

The best way is to cooperate.

The partners for cooperation may be other forces.

But the sixteen forces are in a relationship of cooperation on the surface but competition in reality.

At this time, the Edo Archaeological Bureau became the best choice.

The ruins are experienced and there is no competition.

But since Hoshino Rin said so, Haruhiko naturally wouldn't expose it.

The three of them were watching TV and chatting. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Aoi Hoshino pushed the door open.

A shrine is actually similar to a company.

The priests and priestesses go to and from get off work on time.

Make money, not a small amount.

Just like monks.

On the contrary, the swordsman and the Onmyoji are destined to be busier.

In order to support the family, you have to find a way to make money.

Shrines and temples just sit there and wait for money to come.

Especially the wealthy among ordinary people, they are often willing to pay a high price to pray for blessings.

Dinner was no longer red bean rice, and everything returned to normal.

After all, I had already eaten lunch.

Because Hoshino Aoi was there, the meal was quite quiet.

After it was over, Haruhiko asked to leave.

Hoshino Aoi just nodded and said nothing.

It felt as if Haruhiko was an insignificant person.

She wouldn't care what she did.

But those who know her will understand how special Haruhiko is at Izumo Shrine.

No man had ever been able to stay here for a long time before.

Not to mention that he has close ties with both heirs of Izumo Shrine.

"Haruhiko-kun, see you another day."

Hoshino Rin waved her hand.

Haruhiko, who was standing in the middle of the teleportation array, also responded with a smile.

Only Hotaru Hoshino looked at him coldly.

As the teleportation array was activated, Haruhiko disappeared.

"Hina, let's go back."

Hoshino Rin calmed down and patted her sister's head.

Hoshino Hotaru glanced at her and turned away.

“Sometimes I envy you.”

Hoshino Rin couldn't help but smile, "This character really doesn't care about anything."

She returned to the living room and found that Hotaru Hoshino was gone.

Based on her understanding of her sister, she must be going to practice again.

Hoshino Rin didn't care and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.

When Haruhiko opened his eyes again, he was already in Tokyo.

But it was still in Hoshino Rin's small house.

He waited for a moment, and saw the teleportation array flash by, and Xingye Ying appeared.

Haruhiko smiled and stepped forward.

Hoshino Hotaru activated the teleportation array again, and the two returned to the back hall of Izumo Shrine.

She took Haruhiko's hand and left quickly.

Hoshino Rin was taking a shower and didn't notice Hoshino Hotaru's behavior at all.

The main reason was that she would never have guessed that such an outrageous thing would happen, so she had no awareness of prevention.

Hoshino Aoi looked up.

The fluctuations of the teleportation array may be inaudible to others.

But she was a fifth-level psyker, and in her eyes, she was as obvious as a light bulb.

Besides, this is Izumo Shrine.

If we can't even detect this little movement, then we won't be far from destruction.

Hoshino Aoi quickly lowered her head again.

She ignored Haruhiko's coming back.

The two of them arrived at Hoshino Hotaru's room.

This was actually Haruhiko’s first visit.

He stayed in the guest room last time when he was resting.

Hoshino Hotaru's room is quite normal.

There's nothing too pink, no dolls or anything like that.

Haruhiko recalled Hoshino Rin's previous comment.

She said her sister was a practicing enthusiast and had no other hobbies.

There was a clicking sound.

Haruhiko turned around subconsciously and saw Hoshino Hotaru locked the door.

He was stunned. What kind of operation was this?

Are you afraid that he will run away?

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile.

He glanced at the alarm clock on the table. It was only half past seven.

It's definitely too early to go to bed.

"firefly."

Haruhiko sat on the bed and said, "Let's talk about you."

Hoshino Hotaru was stunned.

The original expectation and joy in my heart were temporarily suppressed.

She hesitated for a moment and nodded.

It's also time to confess.

"You."

Hoshino Hotaru looked at him and her lips moved silently.

Haruhiko stroked his chin.

He has quite a lot of things to do.

"Why do you treat me like this?"

Haruhiko asked after thinking for a moment.

"I like you."

Hoshino Hotaru said seriously, "This is true, there is no reason."

Haruhiko felt warm inside.

He reached out his hand, pinched Hoshino Hotaru's cheek, and kissed the corner of her mouth.

"I like you too."

Haruhiko said softly, "But you should know that's not what I'm asking."
