Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

After all, Tachibana Yui had never had any dealings with her.

Haruhiko suddenly thought of a question.

Kasuga Shrine is hiding fifth-tier psychics, so what about Izumo Shrine?

Most likely they are.

"Aunt Kui, I have something I'd like to ask her for help with. Could you help me make an introduction?"

Haruhiko didn't beat around the bush, but simply omitted the specifics.

Hoshino Aoi looked at him, her expression unchanged.

Just as Haruhiko was feeling a little uneasy, she agreed.

"Thank you, Aunt Kui."

He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said.

"You and Hotaru should go to Kasuga Shrine to see her tomorrow."

Hoshino Aoi glanced at Hoshino Hotaru and said, "I'll call her in a bit."

That's just like her personality.

They are straightforward and decisive in their actions.

Haruhiko immediately became expectant.

I hope Nao Aoyama won't disappoint him.

Otherwise, the only option is to seek out Takemikazuchi to solve it personally.

But the difficulty is self-evident.

Haruhiko had no idea where the gods were now.

After they finished talking, he and Hoshino Hotaru left the room.

Actually, he had a feeling about it before.

Hoshino Aoi treated him exceptionally well.

Now it's even stronger.

Haruhiko felt that no matter what request he made, Hoshino Aoi would agree.

This is obviously not normal.

what is the reason behind the scene?

He came to his senses and found himself in Hoshino Hotaru's room.

Unlike a typical girl's room, it doesn't have too many fancy decorations.

But you can still smell a faint fragrance.

Haruhiko looked down and saw the shrine maiden's clothes on the ground.

He looked at Hoshino Hotaru.

She was slowly walking forward.

Although she is not as mature as Yukihime, everything about her is just right.

Haruhiko picked her up and carried her to the soft tatami mat.

time flies.

University of Tokyo.

Today's classes ended early, and Hoshino Rin left the school with her schoolbag.

Looking at the cherry blossom trees beside the road, she suddenly thought of Haruhiko.

The two haven't seen each other much lately.

Haruhiko was mainly busy with the ruins, so he went to school less often.

Hoshino Rin took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to give up.

Let's not bother him.

She returned to the small house she was renting.

I arrived at Izumo Shrine via the teleportation array.

Hoshino Rin hummed a song and walked briskly into her room.

She changed into a shrine maiden's outfit before leaving.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly paused and subconsciously rubbed her eyes.

She thought she was imagining things.

Not far away, Haruhiko was cultivating.

Hotaru Hoshino's fighting ability is far inferior to that of Yukihime and Mari Tsuchimikado.

In less than an hour, I was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.

Haruhiko, unable to sleep, got up and went into the courtyard to practice his swordsmanship, making the most of every minute.

Just then, he spotted a familiar figure.

"are you awake?"

Haruhiko sheathed his sword, stepped forward, and spoke gently.

Hoshino Rin was somewhat stunned upon hearing this.

She didn't understand what that sentence meant.

But it was precisely this slow reaction that prevented Haruhiko from recognizing her.

In addition, Hoshino Rin is usually not at the end of school yet.

They won't be back for at least an hour.

"You look so cute."

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile. He leaned forward and kissed the corner of her mouth.

The next second, he realized the problem.

Hoshino Rin visibly blushed.

From her neck to her ears, everything was flushed red.

If it were Hotaru Hoshino, she shouldn't have reacted so strongly.

there is only one truth.

She is Hoshino Rin.

Haruhiko froze instantly.

The worst thing still happened: he mistook Hoshino Hotaru for Hoshino Rin.

"Qing...Qing..."

Hoshino Rin blushed, like an ostrich burying its head in the shallow abyss.

"Feel sorry."

Haruhiko said shyly.

He dared not say he had mistaken someone for someone else, because that would cause an even bigger uproar.

The best course of action now is to make the best of a bad situation.

"No...it's okay."

Hoshino Rin shook her head subconsciously.

Haruhiko scrutinized her closely.

Her rosy cheeks, like apples, were flushed with nervousness and glistened with beads of sweat, exuding an indescribable allure.

Her black hair was styled into a single ponytail at the back of her head, subtly exuding a youthful energy.

Her lips, coated with lipstick, were lightly bitten, revealing a delicate pink hue.

"that……"

Hoshino Rin noticed his gaze and became even more panicked.

She couldn't help but back away, wanting to run away.

But Haruhiko grabbed her hand.

The warm touch made Hoshino Rin's heart pound.

"Rin, let's date."

Haruhiko said directly.

Hoshino Rin stood there, stunned.
