Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Although she didn't have the temperament of a spoiled princess, she certainly grew up living like one.

Holding hands with a boy was a first for both of us.

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile.

Hoshino Rin's hands are very soft.

Aside from that, it's a bit hot.

This is clearly caused by tension.

The two walked along the street.

Rin Hoshino, who is usually very lively, was unusually quiet.

She would sometimes lower her head, sometimes look to the left, but she never dared to look at Haruhiko on the right.

In short, I couldn't find peace.

Even her little face had a faint blush.

She touched it; it was a little hot.

Fortunately, Haruhiko didn't pay too much attention to her.

After walking half a block, things finally returned to normal.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Hoshino Rin looked up and asked.

"I'm fine with anything."

Haruhiko stroked his chin and asked, "How about some sukiyaki?"

Sukiyaki is a type of hot pot.

He has always felt that if you don't know what to eat, hot pot is always a good option.

Because hot pot is a great dish; you can put any kind of food in it, and it caters to everyone.

Even if someone likes spicy food, they can order a half-and half-half hot pot and have two different flavors.

"it is good."

Rin Hoshino doesn't actually have any particular requirements when it comes to food.

As long as it tastes good, that's fine.

Of course, the most important thing is who you eat with.

If you're having dinner with someone you like, then you can lower your standards a bit.

When talking about department stores in Shinjuku, one cannot help but mention Shimaya Department Store.

It is the largest department store in Japan.

The goods are complete and have everything you could want.

This is also Haruhiko and Hoshino Rin's target this time.

After entering the department store, the two went straight to the meat and vegetable section.

"Yes, beef is a must."

Haruhiko let go of her hand and picked up the plastic bag next to him.

Sukiyaki is sometimes called Japanese beef hot pot; it loses its soul without beef.

Hoshino Rin subconsciously felt a little reluctant.

She looked at her right hand and clenched it.

The original warmth disappeared, replaced by a chill.

"Let's buy one more."

Hoshino Rin quickly came to her senses and said, "Since it's sukiyaki, it'll be more lively with one more person."

She was clearly referring to Hotaru Hoshino.

"Well."

Haruhiko did not refuse.

Anyway, by evening, there was plenty of time.

Besides, it wouldn't be good to leave Hoshino Hotaru all alone at Izumo Shrine.

The beef is already cut into pieces.

Although it's a bit pricey, it's convenient and suitable for lazy people like Haruhiko.

In addition to beef, he also bought pork and fish.

Haruhiko's way of thinking is actually the hotpot thinking from his previous life.

In Japan, when eating sukiyaki, people usually only eat the beef.

He felt that since it was hot pot, it didn't matter if there were more types of meat.

After buying the meat, the two went to the vegetable section.

"Take whatever you want to eat."

Haruhiko looked at the various vegetables and said casually.

"Let me see."

Rin Hoshino didn't interfere when buying meat before.

But you can't just come and watch; you have to feel involved.

"Chinese cabbage."

As Hoshino Rin looked at it, she said, "Carrots and shiitake mushrooms."

Haruhiko picked up the plastic bag and started taking out the vegetables.

In addition to what Hoshino Rin mentioned, he also took tofu, konjac, and scallions.

"That's enough."

Seeing this, Hoshino Rin stopped her, saying, "Don't waste it."

Although he is the heir to the Izumo Shrine, he has no vices.

It's perfect for everyday life.

Haruhiko felt a pang of emotion.

He's the kind of person who doesn't know how to be frugal.

I often find myself overspending.

But it won't change.

"Buy one last thing."

Haruhiko pointed to the green vegetables in front of him and said.

Because he remembered that Hotaru Hoshino liked to eat this.

Hoshino Rin was slightly taken aback, but did not refuse.

Haruhiko took the groceries to the cashier, waited a moment, and then paid the bill.

"Are you going home next?"

Hoshino Rin watched him put the vegetables into his spatial ring, feeling a little regretful.

She felt that holding it in her hands gave her a more homely feeling.

"Since we've come all this way, let's go buy some other things."

Haruhiko said with a smile.

"What is that? Is it something to drink?"

Hoshino Rin thought back for a moment and realized that she hadn't bought any drinks.

As for alcohol, she doesn't drink it, and she knows that Haruhiko doesn't either.

Needless to say, there's also Hotaru Hoshino.

Hoshino Rin felt that her younger sister was the kind of person who didn't care about anything.

As long as I can survive, nothing else matters.

They have never been particular about clothing, food, housing, or transportation.

The most typical example is her clothing; most of the time, Hotaru Hoshino wears a shrine maiden outfit.

"You've reminded me, I really didn't buy any drinks."

Haruhiko took a large bottle of cola from a nearby freezer, paid for it, and put it into his spatial ring.

Hoshino Rin tilted her head.
