Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Haruhiko felt like he had come back to life.

He quickly understood why Hoshino Rin thought that way.

Because Hoshino Hotaru was indeed quite indifferent to him before.

"Not really."

Haruhiko waved his hand and said.

"When I get back, I'll have a good talk with her."

Hoshino Rin looked helpless and said, "Don't take it to heart, that's just her personality."

"Really do not have."

Haruhiko said with a serious expression.

But the more this happened, the more suspicious Hoshino Rin became.

However, since Haruhiko didn't admit it, she didn't press the matter further.

"Haruhiko-kun, I'm going to change my clothes."

Hoshino Rin turned and went into the room.

A short while later, they were wearing school uniforms.

The two left the small villa and headed towards the University of Tokyo.

"Ying grew up with her mother and had almost no contact with outsiders."

Hoshino Rin tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Therefore, her personality is rather indifferent."

"I see."

Haruhiko glanced at her, and seeing her explaining, he couldn't help but think that she was a good older sister.

It's your sister; she's not as cold-hearted as you think.

In a sense, it's quite direct.

"Haruhiko-kun, you were her first friend."

Hoshino Rin turned her head, a smile playing on her lips, "So I'll have to trouble you to take good care of me."

"no problem."

Haruhiko agreed.

"Thank you."

Hoshino Rin raised her hand and clenched it, then gave a soft snort and said, "Next time I'll have Hotaru apologize to you."

In her opinion, since he didn't even take his shoes, Haruhiko must have been scared away.

This shows just how serious Hoshino Hotaru's pranks were.

"No need, it's really nothing."

Haruhiko's expression didn't change much, but he was quite looking forward to it.

After all, they have to get their money back.

But is this considered a scam?

Haruhiko felt that Hoshino Hotaru would be very happy.

After all, I get to see him.

"Haruhiko-kun, see you next time."

At the intersection, Hoshino Rin waved, then turned and walked away with light steps.

Haruhiko withdrew his gaze; over-the-knee socks and a high school girl—truly a perfect match.

He went to the classroom after thinking about it.

Taking advantage of the time he had, he sent a message to Hoshino Hotaru.

"The family rules I was waiting for actually lied to me."

"it is good."

The reply was almost instantaneous, but it contained only one word.

Haruhiko saw a strong sense of provocation in it.

He gritted his teeth and began to think about his family rules.

He used to be spanked, but he always felt it wasn't enough.

By the time get out of class ended, Haruhiko had already thought of several family rules.

However, they were all rather excessive.

He hesitated.

After leaving the classroom, Haruhiko saw Tsuchimikado Mari after walking only a few steps.

She was standing under a tree, wearing a suit jacket and a pencil skirt.

Haruhiko was stunned; he didn't know that Tsuchimikado Mari had already returned to the ground.

Because no one told him.

Logically speaking, Tsuchimikado Mari should have notified him in time.

So, this was an unexpected surprise?

"Mari-neechan".

Haruhiko stepped forward, greeted him, and asked, "When did you get back?"

"Not so long ago."

Tsuchimikado Mari leaned slightly closer, her stunning face drawing ever closer.

Haruhiko's heart skipped a beat.

He had already been deceived once, so he didn't have high expectations.

"You smell nice."

Tsuchimikado Mari tilted her head, sniffed his neck twice, and said, "Looks like you're quite popular."

fragrance?

Haruhiko only had contact with Hoshino Rin today.

He was speechless for a moment, then pressed his lips to the other person's red lips.

Amid her somewhat bewildered gaze, a heated verbal battle ensued.

"Disrespecting teachers deserves a beating."

After a long while, Tsuchimikado Mari's lips curled up, and she flicked Haruhiko's forehead with her finger.

"The teacher is right."

Haruhiko had gotten the better deal and was in a good mood, so he didn't care about getting a beating.

"You've become much bolder in just two days."

Tsuchimikado Mari nodded slightly and said, "I'm not far from completing my apprenticeship."

"Where? I feel like I still have a lot to learn."

Haruhiko was naturally reluctant to part with such a good teacher.

Tsuchimikado Mari gazed at him, seemingly seeing through his thoughts, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

A cold beauty melting is a rare sight indeed.

Haruhiko was stunned for two seconds.

Especially the lipstick, which was originally vibrant and luscious, became exceptionally dull with his help.

But this did not diminish Tsuchimikado Mari's beauty; on the contrary, it added a touch of charm and reverie.

"Where is Aunt Mashiro?"

Haruhiko followed behind her and walked outside.

"She has already gone home."

Mari Tsuchimikado casually said, "I came to pick you up."

"Thank you for your help, Mari-neechan."

Haruhiko said subconsciously.

"It's no trouble at all."

Tsuchimikado Mari glanced at him and said, "It's what I should do."

should?

It was clearly your idea that you wanted to do it.
