Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

It was already midnight when the class ended.

Haruhiko, carrying his schoolbag, planned to find a place to eat.

Just then, he received a message from Hoshino Rin, asking him to go to the usual place.

The so-called "old place" is the rooftop.

He thought for a moment, then went upstairs, opened the door, and saw Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru.

Both of them were dressed in red and white shrine maiden outfits, and sitting together, Haruhiko couldn't tell them apart at all.

"Haruhiko-kun."

Rin Hoshino waved and greeted him.

Haruhiko then confirmed that the person on the left was Hoshino Hotaru.

If he didn't speak, he felt he might really mistake someone for someone else.

The main difference is that the two people look exactly alike.

Haruhiko stepped forward and sat down in the spot where newspapers had already been laid out, next to Hoshino Rin.

Hotaru Hoshino turned her head, but could only see his silhouette.

She ate in silence, her eyes lowered.

Why is your sister here today?

Haruhiko asked with some curiosity.

Hotaru Hoshino immediately raised her head.

However, Haruhiko didn't notice because Hoshino Rin was blocking his view.

I don't have classes this afternoon.

Hoshino Rin explained, "After we finish eating, Hotaru and I will go back to Izumo Shrine to prepare for tomorrow's festival."

"I see."

Haruhiko nodded, then remembered something and asked, "Aren't you going to the archery club today?"

"Feel sorry."

Hoshino Rin said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was originally planning to teach you."

"It's ok."

Haruhiko smiled and said, "Then I won't go either. I'll learn it when I come back the day after tomorrow."

Hoshino Rin paused slightly, then turned her face away, looking somewhat shy.

She nodded and said softly, "I will definitely teach you well."

Hotaru Hoshino lowered her head again, looking at the bento box, her lips moving silently.

4,000 words. First and second updates. Chapter 118 is... well, too bad. Remember to subscribe early, everyone (laughs).

Chapter 121 The Vicious Woman

"Haruhiko-kun, the festival starts at 2 PM, remember not to be late."

Hoshino Rin, carrying her schoolbag, stood at the school gate with a gentle smile on her face and said...

Having just finished lunch, the two sisters planned to return to Izumo Shrine.

Haruhiko then escorted them to the school gate.

Hearing Hoshino Rin's words, he nodded and said, "I will definitely be there on time."

He had initially thought it would start in the morning, but it turned out to be in the afternoon.

In that case, he wouldn't need to ask his senior, Aizawa Kaoru, for leave.

You can go after class; it's still possible.

Hoshino Rin nodded in satisfaction, opened the back door, and got in.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hotaru Hoshino suddenly leaned close to Haruhiko's ear and her lips moved slightly.

Warm breath brushed against my face, but there was no sound.

Haruhiko stared in astonishment at Hoshino Hotaru's expressionless face, somewhat surprised by her actions.

At the same time, he wondered if he should find some time to learn lip reading.

He had no idea what he had just said.

Hotaru Hoshino smiled slightly, offered no further explanation, and turned to get into the car.

"See you tomorrow, Haruhiko-kun."

Rin Hoshino, who was seated inside, turned slightly to the side, passed Hotaru Hoshino, and waved.

From Haruhiko's perspective, the two sisters' faces were almost touching.

The former was enthusiastic, while the latter was indifferent.

That's what made him able to distinguish between them.

The car drove away.

Haruhiko scratched his head.

He and Hoshino Rin have known each other for several years and have a close relationship.

But he had only met Hoshino Hotaru a few times, and they were practically complete strangers.

Why is her behavior so strange?

Haruhiko couldn't quite understand.

After thinking for a moment, I stopped thinking about it.

He turned around and went back to the school, heading towards the Worry-Free Garden.

There are no classes in the afternoon, so I can continue studying spells.

Haruhiko took out his key and opened the door.

Chiyo was sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Her pajamas were slightly rolled up, revealing her navel with a pearl-like protrusion.

Haruhiko was quite curious about what effect this pearl had.

But I dare not pick them, lest something go wrong.

Just then, a flash of blue light appeared.

Haruhiko felt a sudden light in his eyes as a peacock floated in his line of sight.

A peacock of normal size is typically 50 centimeters tall and 100 centimeters long.

But it was much smaller, and looked quite petite.

Is this the same black peacock from before?

Why did it turn blue?

Haruhiko fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he didn't react, the peacock chirped softly, its tone filled with excitement.

It leaned closer and poked Haruhiko's arm with its sharp beak.

A drop of blood spilled out and was swallowed by it.

[Name: Lime]

Race: Peacock.

[Gender: Female.]

Rank: First Rank.

[Skill: None]

[Psionic Power: 120 points.]

[Note: Newly hatched peacocks appear ordinary, but possess extremely high potential.]

Haruhiko was somewhat surprised and disappointed.

The Black Peacock was a fourth-tier demon, but unexpectedly her descendants were only first-tier.

Was it because of an abnormal birth?

Come to think of it, I am also an enemy of Qingning, so why did it recognize me as its master right away?

Haruhiko stroked his chin, looking at the beautiful peacock, speechless for a moment.

Chiyo suddenly opened her eyes.
