Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Both of them were dressed as shrine maidens, and standing together, it was impossible to tell who was who.

"Haruhiko-kun."

A faint smile appeared on Hoshino Rin's face as she greeted him, "Good morning."

"Good morning."

Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, it would be incredibly embarrassing to call someone by the wrong name.

Offending two people at once is the end of my life.

Hotaru Hoshino looked at him, her eyes calm, yet concealing a hint of emotion; her lips moved silently.

Haruhiko recognized the lip movements and said "Good morning."

He nodded in response.

“It’s Friday today, so Ying came with me.”

When Hoshino Rin saw Haruhiko looking at Hoshino Hotaru, she explained.

Her tone was tinged with a hint of joy and relief.

Hotaru Hoshino has been quite proactive during this period.

She deeply felt the joy of being an older sister.

"That's it."

Haruhiko didn't believe it at all.

If Hoshino Rin hadn't been there, he suspected that Hoshino Hotaru's gaze would have been enough to make him pounce on her.

"She's been very well-behaved lately."

Hoshino Rin reached out and ruffled Hoshino Hotaru's hair, a slight smile playing on her lips, with a hint of smugness in her expression.

Haruhiko didn't know what to say.

In the past, Hotaru Hoshino would have avoided her touch.

The fact that they don't have it now clearly indicates they have much bigger plans.

Hoshino Rin didn't notice Hoshino Hotaru's unusual behavior.

If she turned her head at this moment, she would see her blinking eyes staring at Haruhiko as if he were her prey.

She changed the subject and asked, "Haruhiko-kun, what are your plans for the weekend?"

"Ms. Chiyo has something to do, I should go and help her."

Because it involved ruins, Haruhiko thought about it and decided not to tell them.

"Hotaru and I will go on commissions together."

Hoshino Rin paused for a moment, then said casually, "If Haruhiko-kun has some free time someday, he can join us."

Haruhiko turned his head, and could only see her profile, not her specific expression.

But Hoshino Hotaru suddenly stepped forward, stood between the two of them, and grasped his right hand with her left.

A soft touch came.

Haruhiko suffered cardiac arrest.

However, they parted ways immediately upon contact.

When Hoshino Rin looked at him, he had already returned to normal.

"Ok."

Haruhiko said without changing his expression, "I'll call you then."

"Then it's settled!"

Hoshino Rin's lips curved into a smile, her tone tinged with joy.

The three people reached the intersection and then went their separate ways.

Haruhiko watched the two sisters leave, then opened his hand, revealing a crumpled piece of paper inside.

"Brother-in-law, finish class early, I'll wait for you."

He twitched the corner of his mouth, unsure of what to say.

Haruhiko tore up the note, threw it into the trash can, and then stepped into the classroom.

There are no practical skills to be acquired from the theoretical classes.

He didn't skip class because of Hoshino Hotaru's note.

Learning makes me happy.

Class is over.

Haruhiko left the classroom and had only taken a few steps when he saw Hoshino Hotaru.

The reason I was sure it was her was because she had no expression.

If it were Hoshino Rin, she wouldn't be so cold.

And under normal circumstances, she wouldn't come looking for him at this time.

They either go to the archery club or go straight home.

We'll chat for a few minutes on the phone at most.

"Hotaru, where's your sister?"

Haruhiko stepped forward and asked.

"Attend class."

Hotaru Hoshino's lips moved silently.

Haruhiko recognized the lip movements.

Sure enough.

Generally, there is only one long class in the morning, but there are always exceptions.

Furthermore, Hoshino Rin also chose to study other majors.

"What do you find me for?"

Haruhiko looked at that indifferent yet exquisite face and asked.

Hotaru Hoshino didn't say anything, but simply took his hand and led him outside.

Aren't you afraid of being seen?

Haruhiko was startled; it was break time and there were many students on the way.

Moreover, given Hoshino Rin's status and reputation, many people know her.

Although they couldn't tell Hoshino Hotaru apart, it was hard to guarantee that rumors wouldn't spread.

If Hoshino Rin finds out, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause.

Hotaru Hoshino glanced at him.

Haruhiko vaguely sensed a hint of excitement.

He was speechless.

you have a problem!

The two soon arrived at a rather secluded grove of trees.

Haruhiko looked around and saw no one else.

"Can you tell me now?"

He turned around and saw Hoshino Hotaru, and asked.

Hotaru Hoshino nodded, reached out, and pinched the red hem of her shrine maiden outfit, revealing a glimpse of white skin.

Haruhiko's pupils contracted sharply.

Cute and familiar-looking.

He remembered that it was Hoshino Hotaru who had posted the picture before.

She even said she would wear it for him to see later.

I never expected such an explosive move.

Just then, Hoshino Hotaru sat on a stone bench by the roadside, placed the warm object into his hand, and replaced it with a new one.

Haruhiko was completely dumbfounded; the way things had taken place had exceeded his expectations.

“Which one looks good?”

Hotaru Hoshino took out her phone and typed a question.

"They're all...beautiful."
