Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

This allowed Haruhiko to get a good night's sleep.

The second day of the New Year.

He did not go out to visit anyone else.

The main problem is that his social circle is not wide.

Rin Hoshino and Hotaru Hoshino are having their birthdays tomorrow.

As for Chiyo and Aizawa Kaoru, we'll go after the holiday.

The only ones left are Utsunomiya Mina and Utsunomiya Minami.

He had visited them before.

Therefore, today is for accompanying Yukihime.

Happy time always passes quickly.

January 3rd.

It's the Hoshino sisters' birthday.

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

Haruhiko was determined to make a trip to Izumo Shrine.

early morning.

Haruhiko was startled awake by his phone vibrating.

He yawned.

I went to bed quite late again last night.

He looked around, found his phone, and opened it to see that it was a video call from Hoshino Hotaru.

After Haruhiko answered the call, her delicate little face appeared on the screen.

His gaze drifted downwards, and he paused, momentarily stunned.

Why aren't you wearing a single strand of clothing?

Generally speaking, in a video call, you can only see the other person's head at most.

But Hotaru Hoshino deliberately panned the camera across her entire body.

Haruhiko subconsciously swallowed.

While she may not be as good as Yukihime and Tsuchimikado Mari, she is full of girlishness and youthfulness.

It's a completely different visual experience.

"What are you doing?"

Haruhiko snapped out of his daze and asked.

"Sleeping in late."

Hotaru Hoshino's lips moved silently.

She was indeed lying in bed, but she wasn't covered up.

"It's cold in winter."

Haruhiko paused for a moment, then said, "At least wear pajamas."

"Wait a bit before you put it on."

Hotaru Hoshino said coldly, "Now it's for you to see."

Haruhiko was speechless.

What kind of sister-in-law is this?

That's fantastic!

"Go to the place your sister rents."

Hotaru Hoshino explained why she made the call: "There's a teleportation array there that can get you to Izumo Shrine quickly."

"But I don't know how to use it."

Haruhiko stared at her intently.

All I could see was a vast expanse of white.

But there are also plum blossoms blooming in the snow.

"I'll pick you up."

Hotaru Hoshino said without hesitation.

That was her real goal: to see Haruhiko sooner.

Moreover, she kept it a secret from Hoshino Rin.

At least for this period of time, she hoped that Haruhiko belonged only to her.

"Well."

Haruhiko smiled and said, "I'll call you when I arrive."

"Ah."

Hotaru Hoshino leaned forward, kissed the phone screen, and said, "I miss you."

Upon seeing this, Haruhiko's heart softened instantly.

Although there are Tsuchimikado Mari and Yukihime, Hoshino Hotaru is different.

Perhaps it's because she relies on herself all the time.

Haruhiko hung up the call and got dressed and out of bed full of energy.

Yukihime has already prepared breakfast.

It's bread and fresh milk.

After Haruhiko finished eating and drinking, he said goodbye to her and went to the small villa that Hoshino Rin rented.

He suddenly remembered a question on the way.

Did Hoshino Hotaru come alone?

This sister-in-law is getting bolder and bolder.

Not long after, you can see the Gothic-style mansion.

Hotaru Hoshino, dressed as a shrine maiden, stood at the door.

Chapter 210. Hoshino Sisters' Birthday

Apart from Hotaru Hoshino, I didn't see anyone else.

This confirms Haruhiko's earlier guess.

She came secretly without Hoshino Rin's knowledge.

When Hoshino Hotaru saw Haruhiko, she immediately ran up to him.

The wooden clogs made a clattering sound on the ground.

She threw herself into Haruhiko's arms, then looked up and leaned closer.

A soft touch came.

There was also a faint fragrance.

Haruhiko reached out and gently rubbed her head.

Today she has the typical long, straight black hair of a shrine maiden.

My fingers ran through the strands of hair; they felt incredibly smooth.

Hotaru Hoshino squinted, just like a kitten.

A few minutes later, they finished their lip-reading exchange.

But she didn't let go of him, gently nuzzling her head against his chest, a hint of enjoyment appearing on her usually indifferent face.

Haruhiko sensed her longing and was about to speak when his phone rang.

He stopped patting his head, took out his phone, and saw it was Hoshino Rin calling.

Haruhiko showed the phone screen to Hoshino Hotaru, then tapped her soft lips with his finger, signaling her to be quiet.

"Haruhiko-kun, good morning."

Hoshino Rin's energetic voice rang out.

Haruhiko had originally planned to fly to Izumo Shrine.

Therefore, I get up relatively early.
