Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Hotaru Hoshino shook her head and said.

"See you next time."

Haruhiko ultimately felt that now was not the right time.

Moreover, he had just seen his sister-in-law's naked Kagura dance.

He used the player's spawn point and appeared at the Inari Shrine.

"My mental fortitude needs improvement."

Haruhiko sighed, and the image of Tsuchimikado Mari in her teacher's uniform flashed through his mind.

His throat tightened immediately, and he quickly banished the image from his mind.

"Oh no, my shoes!"

Haruhiko finally realized the problem.

After he left, Hoshino Rin opened the door.

On the shoe rack in the entryway, she saw two familiar pairs of shoes.

The former is a pair of wooden clogs, which undoubtedly belong to Hotaru Hoshino.

The latter refers to standard-issue shoes issued by the school, but worn by men.

The only man who could come here was Haruhiko.

Hoshino Rin smiled slightly.

She entered the living room, hesitant to speak.

As expected, Haruhiko was not there, but Hoshino Hotaru sat obediently and quietly on the sofa, like a delicate doll.

"Where is Haruhiko-kun?"

Hoshino Rin looked at the golden crown and Kagura bell on the coffee table with a puzzled expression and asked.

"I have to leave."

Hotaru Hoshino looked up, her lips moving silently.

"leave?"

Hoshino Rin stared blankly, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Then why didn't he take his shoes with him?"

"do not know."

Hotaru Hoshino's expression remained unchanged as she spoke.

"..."

Hoshino Rin looked at her suspiciously.

To be honest, she didn't connect Hoshino Hotaru and Haruhiko with any special relationship.

In her opinion, her sister was far too innocent, let alone capable of romantic relationships.

"Let me ask him."

Hoshino Rin couldn't understand it, so she took out her phone.

"You can return it to him on Monday."

Hotaru Hoshino stood up and said, "No need to waste time."

"You really are something else."

Hoshino Rin couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You need to be nicer to Haruhiko-kun, understand?"

"I'm hungry, I'm going back to eat."

Hotaru Hoshino did not answer her question, her expression indifferent, and she moved her lips.

"Let's go then."

Hoshino Rin stepped forward, took her hand, and walked towards the teleportation array upstairs.

Inari Shrine.

The expected phone call didn't come.

Haruhiko scratched his head.

Could it be that they didn't discover it?

After pondering in vain, he went to Jinguji Fuyumi's room.

Today is Friday.

The original plan was to come over in the evening.

However, because the player's spawn point was used, Haruhiko arrived a few hours earlier.

I must say, this teleportation is really good.

It was perfectly stable, without any movement.

And it can be used once a week, which is really good.

Haruhiko certainly had his reasons for avoiding Hoshino Rin, but he also wanted to see what this thing was really like.

He knocked on the door, but no one answered.

"Not here? That's unusual."

Haruhiko sent a message to Yukihime, saying that he was already at the Inari Shrine.

She received a reply quickly and rushed over.

Haruhiko glanced at the door, returned to his room, and began meditating.

He is now only one psionic point away from the third tier.

All the materials have been prepared.

In other words, it's a matter of time.

After an unknown amount of time, Haruhiko was awakened by the vibration of his phone.

He took out his phone, opened it, and saw a message from Hoshino Hotaru.

"Come pick up your shoes next Monday."

"How did your sister react?"

Haruhiko sighed; in the end, he couldn't escape it after all.

Come to think of it, the shoe cabinet is right by the door, you can see it at a glance.

"I've explained the past for you."

"Thank you."

After his initial confusion, Haruhiko felt a surge of relief; she truly was a thoughtful sister-in-law.

These kinds of things can be handled.

"I want a reward."

Hotaru Hoshino replied almost instantly.

"Sure, either way is fine."

Haruhiko said indifferently.

In any case, Hoshino Hotaru's rewards are often two-way.

He couldn't tell whether it was her reward or his own.

Haruhiko breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly raised an eyebrow.

There were fluctuations of psychic energy outside the door.

He got up and opened the door.

"winter……"

Qingyan was stunned. "Bai Shuang, what are you doing here?"

He thought it was Jinguji Tougo who had returned, but he didn't expect it to be the white fox from his house.

"..."

White Frost instinctively perked up its ears and tail, clearly startled.

After a moment of silence, it regained its composure.

"You didn't come with Yukihime?"

Haruhiko looked around to make sure there was no other person or monster.

Bai Shuang nodded slightly.

It entered Haruhiko's room at a leisurely pace.

As usual, I lay down on the sofa.
