Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

But subconsciously, I became a climber.

I have to say, this snow-capped mountain is the epitome of youth.

"It's getting late, let's talk next time."

Haruhiko remembered his important business and went down the mountain.

Hotaru Hoshino let out a breath and nodded.

After she left, Haruhiko's phone suddenly vibrated.

He opened his phone and was immediately stunned.

These are various photos of Hotaru Hoshino.

He looked at a few pictures and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Next up is Hoshino Rin.

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

If it were a real person, it would be possible to tell the difference.

But he really couldn't tell the difference in the photos.

He thought about locking the photo album.

If word gets out, both heirs to the Izumo Shrine will face social death.

Haruhiko put away his phone, walked to the school gate, and met Hoshino Rin.

He paused slightly, a subtle expression appearing on his face.

This is the school uniform; it showed a lot of fair skin in the photo.

Especially the thighs and waist.

Haruhiko guessed that Hoshino Rin didn't care about being exposed in front of her younger sister.

But who would have thought she was someone else's sweetheart?

"Haruhiko-kun."

Hoshino Rin greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning."

Haruhiko stepped forward and stood beside her.

"My sister said she already apologized to you, how about that?"

Hoshino Rin turned her head and asked.

Her jet-black, slightly fluffy pigtails hung down naturally.

"Very sincere."

Upon hearing this, Haruhiko couldn't help but speak.

We need more apologies like this.

"That's good."

Hoshino Rin's lips curled slightly, clearly in a good mood. "I was worried she wouldn't agree."

Not willing?

Haruhiko thought to himself that she was practically putting it into her mouth on her own.

"Ying is a bit aloof, but she's a really nice person."

He thought to himself and said in praise.

My sister-in-law deserves some praise.

"If you can think like that, it seems Hotaru will be able to make her first friend."

Hoshino Rin paused for a moment, then said happily, "Thank you, Haruhiko-kun."

"Need not."

Haruhiko quickly waved his hand.

That "thank you" made him feel a little guilty.

After all, he and Hoshino Hotaru were essentially working together to deceive her.

"How does it feel to join the Edo Archaeological Bureau?"

Hoshino Rin changed the subject and asked.

The main problem is that Haruhiko hasn't been around for the past few days.

Of course, they also gave a proper reason.

Because the Edo Archaeological Bureau had something to do.

"It's quite interesting, isn't it?"

Haruhiko briefly described the two ruins he encountered.

That excludes the one that pits Mina Utsunomiya.

"Unfortunately, I can't join."

Hoshino Rin's tone was quite regretful.

Since it concerned the ruins of Takamagahara and involved deities, she was actually quite interested.

It would be even better if I could team up with Haruhiko.

"Given the current situation, perhaps an opportunity will arise soon."

Haruhiko thought for a moment and then said.

This isn't meant to be comforting.

The Edo Archaeological Bureau could not possibly have solved the tomb of the Yamata no Orochi.

Only a united psionic council can do this.

Izumo Shrine is one of the sixteen major powers.

Most likely they will be able to participate.

"Ah."

Hoshino Rin understood, and she smiled, "We'll go together then."

"no problem."

Haruhiko agreed, "Following Miss Rin will definitely be easy and enjoyable."

"That being said, I won't let you slack off."

Hoshino Rin smiled slightly, shook her fist, and said.

"I will work hard."

Haruhiko paused, then suddenly remembered something and said, "I'm already at the third level."

"Level 3?"

Hoshino Rin was taken aback. "So fast?"

She had thought it would take Haruhiko several more months to reach the third stage.

"Replacement guaranteed."

Haruhiko raised his hand, revealing a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy.

When Hoshino Rin confirmed it, it was somewhat unexpected.

After a moment, she smiled again and said, "But I reached the third level earlier than you."

"Hey, why didn't you say that before?"

Haruhiko looked at her in surprise.

"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle the blow."

Hoshino Rin blinked and said with a smile.

"Your speed is truly frightening."

Haruhiko said with some emotion.

Needless to say, this is the magic of twin inheritance.

"It's too early to be surprised."

Hoshino Rin lowered her head, took a few steps casually, turned to look at him, and said, "Those behind are not slow either."

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow slightly.

Can the fourth and fifth stages be this fast?

This is obviously not normal.
