Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Chapter 204. Tachibana Yui, who says one thing but means another.

University of Tokyo.

The classroom became unusually lively after the teacher announced the start of the holiday.

As a psychic student, I don't actually have many holidays.

But the New Year is an exception.

The Japanese New Year lasts for six days, from December 29th to January 3rd.

Chinese New Year is almost the most important holiday.

The University of Tokyo will no longer hold classes.

Haruhiko wasn't so happy to suddenly get a six-day holiday.

After all, he can ask for leave whenever he wants on ordinary days.

On the contrary, he was annoyed.

The most important days of the Lunar New Year are Lunar New Year's Eve, December 31st, and the first day of the new year, January 1st.

There are many customs and traditions in Japan.

For example, a family reunites and stays up late on New Year's Eve.

In previous years, he had always spent time with Yukihime.

Before meeting Yukihime, I was living alone.

But now, I know a lot of people.

Haruhiko left the classroom.

Soon, they stopped again.

"Haruhiko-kun."

Hoshino Rin stood under the tree and greeted him.

She was wearing her school uniform, with black over-the-knee socks under her pleated skirt.

Upon seeing Haruhiko, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Besides her, there's also Hoshino Hotaru.

She stood expressionless next to Hoshino Rin, dressed in a shrine maiden outfit, without uttering a word.

In short, she looks like an ice queen who keeps strangers at bay.

The two identical sisters stood together, leaving Haruhiko unsure of who to look at.

But he quickly chose to respond to Hoshino Rin first.

The main thing is that Hoshino Hotaru can communicate privately, and then apologize later.

"cold."

Haruhiko stepped forward, smiled, and called out again, "Hotaru."

Hotaru Hoshino glanced at him, then immediately looked away.

"Haruhiko-kun, don't worry about it."

Hoshino Rin patted her sister's head, apologizing for her rude behavior.

"I've gotten used to Hotaru's personality."

Haruhiko smiled and waved.

Hotaru Hoshino then turned her gaze to his face.

This time it's a little different.

If it weren't for Hoshino Rin, Haruhiko suspects she would have pounced on him.

The New Year is just around the corner.

Hoshino Rin hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Haruhiko-kun, which shrine are you planning to visit for blessings this year?"

Izumo Shrine.

Haruhiko, under her expectant gaze, said, "I plan to visit you on January 3rd."

January 3rd was the two sisters' birthday.

In addition, there is a tradition of visiting shrines or temples to pray for blessings during the New Year.

Hoshino Rin suddenly realized something, and her heart skipped a beat.

Previously, Haruhiko would at most send her a birthday gift or a few words of blessing.

This is the first time that such a point has been made so explicitly.

"Aren't you welcome?"

Haruhiko smiled when he saw her looking a little dazed.

"Of course you are welcome."

Hoshino Rin regained her composure and said, "I'll definitely treat you well then."

"I am looking forward."

Haruhiko didn't chat with them for long before they parted ways.

Having achieved her goal, Hoshino Rin stopped arguing.

Only Hotaru Hoshino looked a little aggrieved.

Haruhiko watched the two leave before walking toward Tsuchimikado Mari's red car.

"Mari-neechan".

He opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Are you too busy to come over?"

"I asked Tsuchimikado Mari in a calm tone."

"what?"

Haruhiko turned to look at her, somewhat puzzled.

Greed will lead to trouble.

Mari Tsuchimikado said meaningfully, "Especially since the two of them are heirs to the Izumo Shrine."

Haruhiko immediately understood, but didn't know how to respond.

The main problem is that whatever he says makes him seem like a jerk.

He understood what Tsuchimikado Mari meant.

There are definitely major problems with twin inheritance.

But he has a game cheat.

As long as they have enough strength before they go to the Demon Forbidden Zone.

Where are you spending Lunar New Year's Eve this year?

Mari Tsuchimikado changed the subject and asked.

What's meant to happen will happen eventually.

Haruhiko hesitated.

He observed Tsuchimikado Mari's expression.

From the moment we met, everything was quite calm, with no emotional fluctuations.

"I'll be spending New Year's Eve at home."

Haruhiko spoke the truth.

The main reason is that I can't forget my first wife.

Moreover, Yukihime is not the only one in the family.

Izumi, Qingli, and Jinguji Fuyu were also there.

"Not surprising at all."

Tsuchimikado Mari glanced at him and said, "Then come back on the first day of the new year."

"Ok."

Haruhiko nodded immediately.

As expected, the great demons are all very understanding.

Upon arriving at Tachibana Yui's mansion, Haruhiko got out of the car.

But he did not go into the living room immediately, but waited for a moment until Tsuchimikado Mari reappeared.
