Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

"It's okay for you to admit your mistakes in front of me, but it's not so good to admit your mistakes in front of my sister."

A new line of text appeared on Hoshino Hotaru's phone screen.

"You're the one lying to me."

Haruhiko narrowed his eyes and patted her bottom through her pleated skirt. "Watch out, or I'll use the family rules."

Hotaru Hoshino paused for a moment, then grabbed his wrist, preventing it from leaving.

She stretched out her fair neck, expressionless, but it was clearly a provocation.

Haruhiko's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that no one was there.

"I'm going to school."

He was really afraid someone would see him.

That's definitely hard to say.

The label of "pervert" was directly attached to him.

"Find me after class."

Hotaru Hoshino let Haruhiko off the hook and typed, "I'm going to test your family rules."

"..."

Haruhiko watched her leave speechlessly.

what happened?

Being controlled by a fifth-tier demon is one thing, but how come he's being controlled by his sister-in-law too?

Haruhiko withdrew his overly warm right hand and sighed softly.

This is a new book by a tech guru; you can check it out if you're interested.

Chapter 169. Shiranui's New Lesson

The morning class was "The Complete Guide to Universal Spells for Priests".

Haruhiko learned a new spell called "Priest's Amorous Dance".

In the second stage, a controllable airflow is generated around the body for acceleration, defense, or attack.

A rather interesting spell.

After class, Haruhiko left the classroom and began searching for Hoshino Hotaru's whereabouts, and soon made a discovery.

He took a few steps and suddenly looked around.

Actually, it's not particularly difficult to tell Hoshino Hotaru and Hoshino Rin apart; you can just look at their expressions.

The one with a blank expression and a cold demeanor is definitely the former.

Haruhiko had probably already confirmed that it was Hoshino Hotaru, but just to be on the safe side, he took the initiative to greet her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Hotaru."

"fine."

Hotaru Hoshino took out her phone and typed a reply.

Upon seeing this, he suddenly remembered that he should go to a school for the deaf and mute.

Since we have nothing else to do, let's just bring Hotaru Hoshino along.

As for the aforementioned experience of learning the family rules, Haruhiko doesn't have any family rules at all.

A combination of carrot and stick, a two-pronged approach?

Just as he was pondering, Hoshino Hotaru suddenly hugged him tightly, pulling him into her arms, which startled Haruhiko.

Are you really not afraid of being seen?

Haruhiko took her hand and walked outside.

Fortunately, Hotaru Hoshino was wearing her school uniform today, not her shrine maiden outfit; otherwise, those wooden clogs would have made it difficult for her to run.

When he arrived at the school gate, he waved and hailed a taxi.

When he mentioned the location, Hotaru Hoshino looked up at him, surprised but mostly touched.

She pressed her youthful body against him once again.

Haruhiko could only reach out his left hand and put his arm around her waist.

Because there were outsiders present, Hotaru Hoshino didn't do anything excessive.

This relieved Haruhiko.

At least he's not really crazy.

Upon arriving at the school for the deaf and mute, Haruhiko and Hoshino Hotaru headed to their classrooms.

He had already attended school before, so his teachers and classmates weren't very surprised by his arrival.

Even with the addition of Hoshino Hotaru, it would still be the same.

The two of them sat down in the last row.

Haruhiko got into study mode.

Hotaru Hoshino glanced at him, then took off her shoes, revealing her small feet covered in over-the-knee socks, and gently massaged his legs.

Haruhiko stiffened slightly, turned his head, and noticed that she was listening attentively, as if nothing had happened.

He felt somewhat helpless, but it didn't have much of an impact.

Because he was supposed to be attending a class, but he wasn't actually attending a class; he was just idling and gaining experience points.

It was already noon when class ended.

"Put on your shoes."

Haruhiko said softly, "I'll take you to eat."

Hotaru Hoshino, who had been happily swaying her fair legs, suddenly stopped, put them back on, and stood up.

The two of them walked outside.

When did you start learning lip reading?

Hotaru Hoshino took out her phone and typed a question.

"It happened not long ago."

Haruhiko casually explained, "I did a favor for the principal and got the opportunity to study for free."

Hotaru Hoshino tucked a strand of black hair that was stuck to her mouth and said nothing more.

"I brought a bento box, but there was only one."

Haruhiko adjusted his schoolbag and asked, "How about I treat you to dinner?"

"Need not."

Hotaru Hoshino shook her head and typed, "I want to eat your bento."

Although she didn't speak, her expressionless face conveyed a sense of determination.

Haruhiko nodded.

He can just eat less; he's going to see Tsuchimikado Mari later anyway, so he can get some snacks to fill his stomach then.

Since we're going to eat bento boxes, the best place is the rooftop.

Haruhiko randomly picked a school building and started walking up to it.

Hotaru Hoshino followed him quietly, simply holding his hand tightly without saying a word, behaving quite obediently.

I feel like I could sell her off without any problem.

Upon reaching the rooftop, Haruhiko laid out a carpet, and the two sat down close together.

"There's only one pair of chopsticks, so make do with this."

Haruhiko opened the lunchbox and handed her the chopsticks.

Hotaru Hoshino took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried chicken, and brought it to his mouth.

The two looked at each other, and Haruhiko could only take a bite.

He quickly realized that Hotaru Hoshino's claim of eating the bento was a lie; she actually wanted to feed him.

In the end, even the chopsticks became useless.

Haruhiko started eating the imported bento box.

Lunch ended an hour ago.

The main reason is that Hotaru Hoshino is quite mischievous and is always fighting with him over things.

After finishing his meal, Haruhiko leaned against the wall, gazing at the sky.
