Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Die if you try?

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

He still didn't believe it.

Even the closest sisters can't be this close.

Why don't you mind?

Haruhiko suddenly wanted to hear her explain her reasons in person.

"..."

Hotaru Hoshino remained silent.

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

The doubts I had before resurfaced in my mind.

Why does the final step of the Twin Inheritance have to be going to the First Forbidden Zone at the age of twenty-five?

Back then, of Hoshino Aoi and Hoshino Ri, only the former returned; what became of the latter – was she dead or alive?

If it is death, is it an accident or inevitable?

Haruhiko was suddenly startled.

If death was inevitable, then the fact that Hoshino Hotaru and Hoshino Rin didn't mind becomes understandable.

But this is the last thing he wanted to see.

"firefly."

Haruhiko gently stroked her face.

Hotaru Hoshino snapped out of her daze, wrapped her arms around his neck, and silenced him with a kiss.

Another round of heated debate ensued.

Haruhiko smiled helplessly.

He seemed he was hesitant to press for more information.

I'll tell you tonight.

Hotaru Hoshino took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up a great deal of courage, and said.

Haruhiko was stunned.

He had given up hope of getting an answer, but suddenly things took an unexpected turn.

Although the specific reasons are unclear, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

Even with the worst-case scenario, Haruhiko could prepare in advance.

Once you reach the fifth level as soon as possible, you can naturally stop it.

Hotaru Hoshino just turned nineteen today, and she has five years left until she turns twenty-five.

With the help of game cheats, five years would be enough for him to reach the fifth tier, and maybe even higher.

At the sixth level, dealing with this matter becomes quite easy.

"Tonight? It seems I'll have to stay at your place."

Haruhiko looked at the somewhat uneasy Hoshino Hotaru and asked, "Are you willing?"

"willing."

Hotaru Hoshino answered without hesitation.

"How about we don't let your sister know?"

Haruhiko suddenly had an idea and asked.

Although I feel bad for Hoshino Rin, given the current situation, I should deal with Hoshino Hotaru first.

He said that because she had been unhappy with the same gift before.

The fact that she's keeping it a secret from Hoshino Rin now signifies her special status.

Upon hearing this, Hotaru Hoshino's eyes lit up, and she hugged Haruhiko tightly again.

She nibbled on his ear, but eventually couldn't resist and moved the bite to his face.

A few minutes later, Haruhiko looked at her blushing face and couldn't help but smile.

Hotaru Hoshino is actually quite interesting.

She behaves like a succubus, but she's really bad at it.

This is because she is human.

She is completely different from Tsuchimikado Mari or Yukihime.

Haruhiko looks forward to the future.

The two didn't exchange any more words and just rested in each other's arms.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Haruhiko put Hoshino Hotaru down.

"It's time, let's go to Izumo Shrine."

He pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "If we delay any longer, your sister will definitely call again to urge us on."

Although Hotaru Hoshino was reluctant to part with him, she was not an unreasonable person.

She nodded, walked barefoot to the entrance, and put on wooden clogs.

Haruhiko hadn't taken off his shoes when he carried her on his back.

The two arrived at the teleportation array in the upstairs room.

A surge of psionic energy flashed by.

They appeared in the rear hall of Izumo Shrine.

In order to fake that he had come in from outside, Haruhiko, led by Hoshino Hotaru, slipped out again.

Fortunately, there was a traitor; otherwise, he would definitely have been discovered by the people of Izumo Shrine, and then by Hoshino Rin.

Standing in front of the main hall of Izumo Shrine, Haruhiko took out his phone and sent a message.

Not long after, Hoshino Rin appeared.

She's wearing a shrine maiden outfit today.

Upon seeing her, Haruhiko genuinely believed that it was Hoshino Hotaru who had returned after being unable to resist her presence.

Given her personality, it is indeed highly likely.

While Haruhiko hesitated, Hoshino Rin smiled.

He also understood that this was not Hoshino Hotaru.

At this moment, Haruhiko felt a little fortunate.

If both people had this kind of extroverted personality, he would have gotten them mixed up long ago.

Happy birthday, Rin.

Haruhiko stepped forward and took out the Kagura Bell, saying, "I hope you won't find it offensive."

"Thank you."

Hoshino Rin took Kagura Bell and was immediately surprised.

This is a fourth-tier spiritual tool.

With her current strength, she would undoubtedly be of use.

For Haruhiko, even taking out the fourth tier is precious enough.

However, Hoshino Rin did not refuse.

We can get him a better spirit tool for his birthday later.

"Haruhiko-kun, please come in."

Hoshino Rin put away Kagura Bell and said with a smile.

Haruhiko nodded and followed her into the inner hall.

Hotaru Hoshino stood quietly at the door.

The two sisters were wearing the same shrine maiden outfits, making it impossible for Haruhiko to tell them apart.

"firefly."

Hoshino Rin waved and said, "Guests have arrived, we can't be so rude."

Hotaru Hoshino stepped forward, her mouth opening and closing silently.

Haruhiko was stunned.

However, to avoid Rin Hoshino discovering the problem, he simply pretended to be clueless.

"firefly!"
