Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

In Japanese folklore, the child of the Snow Woman is called Snow Child.

However, they are not biologically related.

The Snow Child originated from a snowman built by an elderly couple.

It was the gods who, moved by the transformation, turned the snowman into a snow child.

His appearance often brings the first snowfall to humankind.

But it will disappear after spring arrives.

In Haruhiko's view, Yuki-onna and Yuki-douji are more like colleagues, two different kinds of yokai.

Regardless of the legend, let's leave that aside for now.

Who created the snowman in Yukihime's memory?

Mostly Jinguji Tougo.

Snow Child is a masterpiece of God.

The mountain god of Mount Aobi can only be Jinguji Touga.

It must have been when she tried to comfort Yukihime by building a snowman that she subconsciously used Haruhiko's image.

But the snowman was only a secondary reason.

Haruhiko believed the real reason was his pure yang body.

"Want some popsicles?"

Yukihime did not retract her fingers, and the cold air continued to condense, forming two long, round icicles.

Haruhiko immediately reached out and caught it.

"Ah~"

Yuki leaned close to him, slightly opening her small mouth, waiting for him to feed her.

Haruhiko placed the popsicle between her soft lips.

"No no no."

Yukihime stuck out her little pink tongue and licked the popsicle, enjoying it immensely.

This scene is quite beautiful.

Haruhiko took a bite of the popsicle.

Well, not bad.

It's pure ice.

No taste.

But seeing how intently Yuki was eating, he suddenly found the popsicle to be sweet.

This is perhaps what is meant by "a feast for the eyes".

The two fooled around until midnight before finally returning to the Inari Shrine.

Despite being a yokai, Yukihime remains incredibly energetic.

But Haruhiko was so sleepy.

He lay in his warm bed and quickly fell asleep.

Outside.

Jinguji Fuyumi glanced at Yukihime expressionlessly.

Her face was pressed against Haruhiko's, her eyes full of smiles.

Jinguji Fuyumi nodded slightly.

But he quickly noticed the red string on her left ear and was taken aback.

Yukihime, what exactly are your feelings for him?

Jinguji Fuyu also knew about red ropes.

It only appears after a vow is made.

However, vows are usually related to romantic love.

a new day.

Haruhiko got up very early.

Because I need to go back to school.

If it's too late, then you'll be late.

Although there was no punishment for being late, he was a good student.

"Aunt Dongyu, see you next week."

Haruhiko waved and went down the mountain with Yukihime.

It was the same familiar taxi driver, Jiro Nishijima.

After sending Yukihime back to the South Garden, Haruhiko slowly walked into the classroom and witnessed a harmonious scene.

Tachibana Yui and Hoshino Rin were chatting like sisters.

Chapter 35 Black Cat Liuli

Haruhiko's seat was right between Tachibana Yui and Hoshino Rin.

But it has now been ignored.

The two beautiful girls pressed themselves together.

They were wearing the same style of summer school uniform.

That is, sailor uniforms and pleated skirts.

But there are also differences.

Tachibana Yui, with a rather cunning look, sat on the desk with her small bottom showing her slender legs wrapped in white cotton socks and flat shoes under her skirt.

Her hair was loose and draped over her shoulders, with two red ribbons tied around her neck.

Hoshino Rin remained seated, tilting her head slightly as she looked at Tachibana Yui.

Her two beautiful legs, clad in black stockings, were bent, with her calves slightly taut, highlighting their slenderness.

Her hair was tied up with a bow and hung down in a single ponytail.

Tachibana Yuika is charming and lovely, while Hoshino Rin is youthful and girlish.

The two of them were being watched by almost everyone.

Such a scene is indeed pleasing to the eye.

"Haruhiko-kun."

"Haruhiko-san."

Two pleasant voices rang out.

Along with this came envious, jealous, and hateful glances from the entire class.

Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.

He knew it would be like this.

"Good morning, both of you."

Haruhiko thought about going up to say hello.

Tachibana Yui glanced at Hoshino Rin, seemingly already noticing the girl's unusual attention towards him.

She recalled the traditions of Izumo Shrine, and a slight smile curved her lips.

How interesting.

"Haruhiko, I'm so sorry for sitting at your desk."

Tachibana Yui jumped off the desk, sat back in her seat, and gracefully crossed her white-stockinged legs.

Although she spoke very politely, it was somewhat incongruous with her actions.

"It's ok."

Haruhiko didn't pay any attention.

If Tachibana Yui and Hoshino Rin create a romantic entanglement, he will definitely use her secret to give her a good dressing down.

But she seems to be quite sensible at the moment.

"The surprise you gave me the day before yesterday, were you referring to Tachibana Yui?"

Hoshino Rin brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and asked.

"Ah."
