Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

He ruffled Hotaru Hoshino's hair.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"Ah."

Hotaru Hoshino looked up at him and answered.

"Well."

Haruhiko kissed her on the cheek and said, "Let's go to Kasuga Shrine now."

Hoshino Hotaru nodded.

She always knows how to distinguish right from wrong in crucial moments.

Although I will express my longing intensely, I will not rush it.

"follow me."

Hotaru Hoshino left his embrace, took his hand, and led him to the teleportation array.

This teleportation array doesn't just go to Izumo Shrine; it can also take you to bases in various cities.

Kasuga Shrine is located in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, which is quite a distance from Tokyo.

Using a teleportation array is undoubtedly faster.

With a flash of psychic energy, Haruhiko and Hoshino Hotaru appeared in another room.

Hoshino Aoi had already given prior notice, so the two of them went directly by car.

Soon, we arrived at Kasuga Shrine.

Chapter 249. Hoshino Hotaru's Special Nature

Haruhiko wasted no time and made a phone call to Tsuchimikado Mari.

The message was to ask her to inform Mina Utsunomiya that they should suspend their exploration of the Takamagahara ruins and return to the surface.

The Serpent Spirits suffered heavy losses, but that does not mean they were wiped out.

In addition to the headquarters, there are many branches, and the number of members is still quite large.

Moreover, the fifth-tier psionicist is still alive, so his foundation has not been damaged.

It's only a matter of time before they make a comeback.

To prevent the serpent spirit from reacting, exploring the ruins as early as possible is the right choice.

Tsuchimikado Mari readily agreed.

After expressing his gratitude, Haruhiko continued his cultivation.

Hotaru Hoshino hadn't woken up; he couldn't just leave like that.

Therefore, he had no choice but to decline Tsuchimikado Mari's invitation to come and pick him up.

It was soon noon.

Haruhiko's spiritual energy was almost completely depleted.

Of course, the most important thing is lunchtime.

Especially since Hotaru Hoshino was overworked, she really needed a good meal.

Haruhiko can cook, but his skills are only average.

He had just finished his cultivation and didn't want to move.

So he ordered takeout.

The door to the room suddenly opened.

Hotaru Hoshino came out.

She ran up to Haruhiko without even putting on her clothes.

"bath."

Hotaru Hoshino stretched out her hands.

Haruhiko swallowed hard and struggled to look away.

He stepped forward, picked up Hoshino Hotaru, and carried her to the bathroom.

Because he ordered takeout, Haruhiko didn't sneak any food.

After washing Hoshino Hotaru clean, I dressed her in a shrine maiden outfit.

The two people came to the living room.

After a short wait, the doorbell rang.

"I'll go get lunch."

Haruhiko's takeout wasn't from a regular roadside stall, but from the Utsunomiya clan, which is his own business.

The main source of income for the Tsuchimikado clan was the entertainment industry.

However, the Utsunomiya clan operates in the service industry.

It mainly includes major hotels and the like.

Haruhiko opened the door and picked up two pre-packaged plastic bags at the entrance.

There are three dishes and two boxes of rice inside.

Back in the living room, Hotaru Hoshino was already waiting obediently at the dining table.

She was dressed as a shrine maiden, with her hands on her lap. Only when she saw him pick up his chopsticks did she extend her right hand.

“I wonder how it tastes?”

Haruhiko placed the chopsticks in Hoshino Hotaru's hand and then opened the food box.

Tempura, takoyaki, sashimi, grilled meat skewers, etc.

It's a real hodgepodge.

But these are all common dishes in Japan.

Haruhiko picked up a skewer of grilled meat.

Fragrant and fragrant.

He took a bite.

Chicken flavor.

"It's alright, not too bad."

Haruhiko commented.

Just then, Hotaru Hoshino leaned forward, slightly opened her mouth, and stared intently at him.

"I'll get you a skewer."

As soon as Haruhiko reached out his hand, Hoshino Hotaru shook her head.

Clearly, she wanted to eat the skewer in his hand.

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile.

He then brought the kebab to Hotaru Hoshino's lips.

She took a bite, then gently pushed the rest back to him with her hand.

Haruhiko didn't stand on ceremony and finished off the last two pieces of chicken.

The meal ended with the two of them feeding each other.

Haruhiko, on the other hand, was already used to it.

This was the first time that Hotaru Hoshino had eaten like this.

Although he didn't show much expression on his face, you could tell he was very happy.

In the afternoon, Haruhiko planned to go to the Nyotengu Ruins to train.

Most of the time, I'm with Hoshino Hotaru, so there's not much else I can do.

Excessive indulgence is not in Haruhiko's nature.

Besides, we also have to consider our health.

Whether it's his or Hoshino Hotaru's.

In addition, the Nyotengu ruins are located in Shimane Prefecture.

It is in the same prefecture as Izumo Shrine.

Haruhiko can also take Hoshino Hotaru home.

But she was clearly reluctant.
