Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Although she still didn't show any expression, he felt that she was somewhat wronged.

"I have an idea."

Haruhiko couldn't bear it, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck him.

Hotaru Hoshino's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at her expectantly.

“You look exactly like your sister. If you go to school in her place, no one will recognize you.”

Haruhiko said with a smile.

Although it's a bad idea, it's actually feasible.

Moreover, Hoshino Rin went to school not for studying, but to build connections.

Izumo Shrine possesses its own twin inheritance and does not require any other spells.

What you can learn at the University of Tokyo, you can learn at home, and even more.

Therefore, whether Hoshino Rin goes to school or not is not that important.

It's okay to let Hoshino Hotaru study for a couple of days occasionally.

As for not speaking, that's not a problem either.

Given her status, remaining silent might seem rude, but who would dare cause trouble?

"I'll go tell my sister later."

Hotaru Hoshino was a little impatient.

There's no need to be in such a hurry.

Haruhiko shook his head and said, "Actually, if you really want to see me, you don't need to go to school to see me."

Aren't you afraid your sister will find out?

Hotaru Hoshino stared at him with her beautiful eyes.

"..."

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

He realized that Hoshino Hotaru really did have a bit of a mischievous side.

"Okay."

Haruhiko tapped her forehead and said, "I'm going to school, so just wait for me."

Hotaru Hoshino nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Haruhiko turned and walked towards the school gate.

Just then, he spotted a familiar figure again.

Hoshino Rin.

She wore a black pleated skirt, white over-the-knee socks that hugged her toned and shapely calves, and spotless brown leather boots.

Although she looks almost exactly like Hoshino Hotaru, for some reason Haruhiko thinks her legs are slightly better.

cough cough.

Fortunately, Hotaru Hoshino didn't know.

Otherwise, they would definitely get angry.

"Haruhiko-kun."

A smile appeared on Hoshino Rin's beautiful face.

Unlike Yukihime, she exudes a youthful and girlish charm.

It has a subtle sweetness.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Hoshino Rin waited until he got closer before speaking again.

They last met in the ruins of Izumo Shrine.

After that, Haruhiko was busy with training and the ruins, and the number of times they met at school was very few.

The girl's tone still betrayed some unhappiness.

But she wasn't angry.

"How was your trip to the Takamagahara ruins?"

Hoshino Rin walked into the school side by side with him.

"The harvest was quite good."

Haruhiko had mentioned it to her earlier.

Of course, it wasn't specified.

Rin Hoshino also knows her limits and won't be aggressive.

After all, it concerns relics, so everything is confidential.

"What about Izumo Shrine?"

Haruhiko asked casually.

However, after asking the question, I felt that I had a very strong ulterior motive.

It was as if they wanted to participate in the next visit to the ruins.

To be honest, he really did want to.

After all, Akashi had obtained the Nine Swords of Godslaying last time.

Even if it's only half.

"There are no new ruins yet."

Hoshino Rin didn't think much of it; on the contrary, if she really found it, she would continue to send invitations.

The two chatted for a few minutes before parting ways at the fork in the road.

Haruhiko arrived at the classroom where the theology major was having his class.

After class, before he even got up, he received a message from Hoshino Hotaru.

He couldn't help but smile.

He felt that Hotaru Hoshino was clingy.

Of course, he doesn't reject it.

Haruhiko left the classroom.

Hotaru Hoshino sent him a location.

It was the rooftop where we had lunch earlier.

Haruhiko followed the stairs and soon arrived at his destination.

He opened the door, and Hoshino Hotaru threw herself into his arms.

At the same time, there was a familiar, subtle fragrance.

"Have you always been here?"

Haruhiko patted her head.

"Ah."

Hotaru Hoshino's lips moved slightly.

"Really."

Haruhiko flicked her forehead and asked, "Why don't you spread out a blanket and sit down to wait?"

Hotaru Hoshino simply looked at her with her captivating eyes, offering no reply.

"Okay, I surrender."

Haruhiko took her hand, stepped forward a few paces, and then took out a blanket from his storage ring.

"help me."

Hotaru Hoshino slightly raised her leg.

Haruhiko squatted down and took off her little leather boots, revealing her delicate little feet encased in black over-the-knee socks.

Perfect and adorable.

He not only saw it, but also... touched it.

Hotaru Hoshino's feet sank deep into the blanket.

She walked to the middle seat and sat down, then looked at Haruhiko.

"Are you hungry?"

Haruhiko took off his shoes and sat down next to her.
