Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

He then sat down at the dining table to wait.

A moment later, Hotaru Hoshino appeared, dressed in a new shrine maiden outfit.

To his surprise, she was wearing a golden crown and holding a Kagura bell.

The last time I saw her dressed like this was at the Kannazuki Festival, when she was dancing for the gods.

"I've learned Kagura."

Hotaru Hoshino placed Kagura Bell on the table and said, "After we finish eating, I'll dance for you."

Haruhiko was slightly taken aback. Although it was a bit sudden, he still agreed.

Kagura's dance is actually not bad either.

It's just too orthodox.

Hotaru Hoshino picked up her chopsticks and started eating ramen.

Haruhiko glanced at her and seemed fairly satisfied.

He pulled out a tissue and wiped the grease from her lips.

The bowl of ramen was finished quickly.

"wait for me."

Haruhiko took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, washed them, and then put them back into his storage ring.

The main goal is to avoid letting Hoshino Rin notice.

But judging from the situation, she rarely uses the kitchen anymore, so it's not a big problem.

Haruhiko returned to the living room.

Hotaru Hoshino left the dining table and sat on the sofa.

But she didn't watch TV; she just waited.

When she saw him return, she immediately shifted her body and snuggled up next to him.

She smelled nice because she had just taken a shower.

Haruhiko sniffed, wrapped his arms around her waist, and said nothing.

He felt that all he needed to do with Hotaru Hoshino was to be quiet.

A moment later, she got up, went to the carpet in the middle, and picked up the Kagura bell.

Haruhiko's heart stirred, his expression slightly changed, and he began to appreciate it seriously.

However, he was somewhat puzzled, as this Kagura seemed to be not much different from the previous one.

Just then, Hotaru Hoshino stopped what she was doing.

"This is Kagura dedicated to you."

Her lips moved silently, and at the same time, her shrine maiden robes fell off, leaving only her two jade feet covered in white socks.

Haruhiko's eyes widened suddenly.

Hotaru Hoshino offered no explanation and began a new dance.

Elegant, solemn, and dignified.

She seemed to radiate a divine light.

With each movement, the golden crown and Kagura bells would make a crisp sound.

Haruhiko stared blankly at her.

A delicate face, fair skin, a serene expression, and a graceful figure.

After a long while, the Kagura dance ended.

Hotaru Hoshino slowly walked forward, took off the golden crown, put Kagura Rin together, and hugged Haruhiko.

Because she was standing.

He then pulled Haruhiko into his arms.

It has a soft, jade-like feel.

Haruhiko subconsciously reached out and hugged the smooth and soft jade legs.

His body stiffened slightly, and he turned his head slightly, implying, "It's cold."

"Does it look good?"

Hotaru Hoshino took a half step back and asked.

"nice."

Haruhiko swallowed hard, his mind filled with a jumble of three colors.

My birthday is coming up in a while.

As she spoke, Hotaru Hoshino picked up her shrine maiden outfit and asked, "The shrine maiden outfit is worn the same way as a kimono. Can you help me?"

Haruhiko was stunned for a moment before accepting the shrine maiden's robe.

Fortunately, he had experience, so he didn't embarrass himself and helped her put on her clothes.

"When is your birthday?"

Haruhiko calmed himself down and asked.

January 3rd.

Hotaru Hoshino sat down next to him again and said.

Haruhiko suddenly realized that he had been a bit stupid.

He didn't know Hoshino Hotaru's birthday, but he knew Hoshino Rin's birthday.

The two are twin sisters, so naturally they were born on the same day.

Haruhiko thought to himself that this was a bit troublesome; he would have to prepare two gifts.

And they cannot be the same.

"Yes, I'll be there on time."

Haruhiko ruffled her hair, then put his arm around her shoulder and asked, "Is there anything you want?"

As he spoke, he stared at her slightly trembling lips.

"you."

Hotaru Hoshino spoke heartfelt words with a blank expression.

Haruhiko felt a sudden flutter in his heart.

Sometimes he didn't understand why she liked him.

But regardless, this feeling is genuine.

"Besides this?"

Haruhiko turned to the side, touched her lips, and asked.

"It will be all right."

Hotaru Hoshino tilted her head, her hair falling down.

"That's it."

Haruhiko fell into deep thought.

so troublesome.

He looked Hoshino Hotaru up and down.

She wasn't wearing any jewelry.

But are simple pieces of jewelry not very useful?

Haruhiko then thought of the bamboo leaf of the Heavenly Maiden in his hand.

It can be used to make Kagura bells, which can be given to Hoshino Hotaru.

But what about Hoshino Rin's gift?

Just then, a noise came from outside the door.

Haruhiko's heart stopped, and he instinctively looked at Hoshino Hotaru.

"It's my sister."

Hotaru Hoshino remained completely calm.

"I'll go first."

Haruhiko stood up in a panic and said.

The main problem is that he can't explain it.

"It's fine."
