Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

She reluctantly let go of his hand.

Haruhiko smiled and sat down on the sofa.

Hotaru Hoshino didn't sit down next to her, but instead picked up the teapot and teacups from the table and went to the kitchen.

Although she didn't say it, the meaning was clear.

Haruhiko stretched, changed his position, and lay down on the sofa.

The battle at noon was too intense.

He was so tired that he was somewhat exhausted.

After a moment, Hotaru Hoshino reappeared.

She glanced at Haruhiko, who was resting with his eyes closed, and seemed to be deep in thought.

A faint aroma of tea permeated the air.

A mouthful of black tea flowed into my mouth.

Haruhiko opened his eyes and saw Hoshino Hotaru's small face so close to his.

No wonder this black tea is so fragrant and smooth.

Are you very tired?

Hotaru Hoshino licked the remaining red tea from the corner of her mouth like a kitten and asked.

Unlike Tsuchimikado Mari, she doesn't exude excessive sexiness and allure, but rather an unconscious cuteness.

"I'm a little tired."

Haruhiko suddenly felt like he was some kind of scumbag.

After all, she had just fought against Tsuchimikado Mari.

Hotaru Hoshino put down her teacup, stretched out her delicate white hand, and gently massaged Haruhiko's forehead.

"Thank you."

Haruhiko was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.

However, it's clear that Hotaru Hoshino doesn't know how to massage.

It's just simple pressing.

Think about it too.

She is the heir to the Izumo Shrine, how could she do such a thing?

If Haruhiko looked up, he could see her pretty little face.

He had no expression, but his eyes were full of seriousness.

Even with her hair falling down, she remained unmoved.

Haruhiko's heart softened suddenly, and he grasped Hoshino Hotaru's wrist.

A hint of doubt immediately appeared in her eyes.

"come here."

Haruhiko shifted his body to make room for him.

Fortunately, the sofa is big enough to accommodate two people.

Hotaru Hoshino rested her head on Haruhiko's chest and hugged him tightly.

Haruhiko felt the same way, and he said softly, "Stay with me like this."

He closed his eyes, inhaled the faint fragrance, and drifted off to sleep.

Hotaru Hoshino listened to his steady breathing and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

It was rare for him to show even a slight change in facial expression.

time flies.

An hour had passed by the time Haruhiko woke up.

His previous fatigue completely disappeared, and he felt full of energy.

His gaze shifted to the sleeping Hoshino Hotaru.

She clung to him like a koala.

Her small face resembled a delicate still painting, serene and pleasing to the eye.

Haruhiko felt his arm sinking deep into the hole and couldn't help but smile.

She's at least much better than Tachibana Yui.

Wait a minute, isn't that a bit too offensive?

Haruhiko shook his head, then suddenly remembered something.

He looked around and noticed the clock on the wall.

Half past three in the afternoon.

Based on this timeline, Hoshino Rin will be out of school soon.

If she sees this, the current situation will be difficult to explain.

Just as Haruhiko was hesitating whether to wake Hoshino Hotaru, she had already opened her eyes.

This relieved him.

"Your sister is coming back. Do you want to see her?"

Hotaru Hoshino noticed his subtle change and her lips moved silently.

Haruhiko was slightly startled.

He suddenly realized that Hoshino Hotaru was actually very intelligent.

So, were you just teasing him before?

Why does she look a bit like Tsuchimikado Mari?

"not see."

Haruhiko hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

I always feel sorry for Hoshino Rin.

When I went to see her again, I had a feeling that I was about to be exposed.

Hotaru Hoshino's eyes lit up slightly, and then she leaned forward and used lip reading to express her emotions.

Haruhiko was taken aback.

That's such a good reaction from my sister.

He held her in his arms, and through her shrine maiden robes, he could feel the softness and slenderness of her body.

It's just like a cat.

Haruhiko gently stroked the mischievous cat.

After a long silence, he said, "I'll come see you again in a few days for your birthday."

Hotaru Hoshino nodded without saying a word, but nestled close to his neck, unwilling to leave.

Haruhiko could clearly feel her warm breath.

He patted her head and said, "Good girl."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hotaru slowly stood up.

Haruhiko smiled slightly upon seeing this.

Who wouldn't like such an obedient sister-in-law?

He took out his phone and sent a message to Tsuchimikado Ayaka, then said goodbye to Hoshino Hotaru.

After leaving Izumo Shrine, I waited at the entrance for a short while before a red car arrived.

To Haruhiko's surprise, it wasn't Tsuchimikado Ayaka driving, but Tsuchimikado Mari.

"Mari-neechan".

Haruhiko opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and asked, "Why is it you?"

"Out to buy groceries."

Mari Tsuchimikado sniffed and said, "As expected, you smell like a girl all over."

"..."

Haruhiko coughed lightly and asked, "Why did you end up at Izumo Shrine to buy groceries?"

"What do you say?"

Mari Tsuchimikado glanced at it and asked in return.

Haruhiko was at a loss for words.
