Chapter 18: Twin Sisters
Haruhiko paid the bill.
As soon as I got out of the door of the fried restaurant, I saw two men in black.
There is also an extended version of the sedan that looks expensive in the back.
"Miss."
The two men in black bowed in unison.
Haruhiko felt a sense of disobedience.
Rin Hoshino is especially like some kind of Extreme Lady at the moment, not a shrine shrine maiden.
The doors open.
"Come here."
Rin Hoshino got into the car and turned to look at Haruhiko.
Haruhiko came back to his senses and regained his composure.
He was in the first week of the game, but he was a great swordsman.
It's not a big deal.
Although the first week is not an immersive second week.
There were two people in the car.
One wears the most common shrine maiden costume, with a white robe, undergarment, and hakama, as well as a white-footed bag and red straw sandals.
The appearance is quite similar to Rin Hoshino, but he looks more mature, maybe in his thirties.
Not surprisingly, it's Aoi Hoshino.
Miyaji of Izumo Shrine.
As the head of the largest shrine, she is almost one of the most honored people in the entire Toei.
Matching it is her strength, a fifth-order divine officer.
And he is the only known fifth-order priest.
But she gave Haruhiko a very bad feeling.
An indifference that radiates from the inside out.
There is no emotion in his face and eyes.
It's like a robot.
Her coldness is different from the Winter Palace of Jingu Temple, not that people are not close, but the kind of ignorance that is like a god.
The other one, the body shape is almost the same as Rin Hoshino.
But wearing a hood, he can't see his face clearly.
"Mother."
Rin Hoshino bowed expressionlessly.
Hoshino Aoi glanced at her and said nothing.
It was as if she was not a daughter, but a stranger.
Haruhiko now somewhat understands why Rin Hoshino reacted strangely when she mentioned her mother.
I see.
The only thing that is suspicious is that such a relationship actually prepares a bento for her daughter.
The sense of disobedience is too strong.
Haruhiko instinctively sensed the problem.
"Hotaru, don't you say hello when you see your sister?"
Rin Hoshino's expression changed and showed a faint smile.
Hoshino Hoshino looked up, took off her hood, and looked at her with black eyes.
After the mouth opened silently, the hood was put back on.
Haruhiko looked surprised.
Because the appearance of the two people is simply printed in one mold.
I just don't know if it's the same in other places.
Why didn't the original body know that Rin Hoshino had a twin sister after all these years?
Is it because Haruhiko is now a priest, so he let him know?
And Hoshino Hoshino seems to be mute?
He felt more and more that the family was rather eccentric.
"Haruhiko-kun, come and sit."
Rin Hoshino beckoned to him.
Haruhiko walked over to her and sat down, and then remembered a question.
He didn't say hello to Aoi Hoshino and Hoshino Hoshino.
And the two of them ignored him.
"My mom and sister have always been like this, you don't have to worry about it."
Rin Hoshino noticed his expression and explained.
"Are you and your sister twins?"
Haruhiko stared at Rin Hoshino, who was close at hand.
Her reaction wasn't as careless as she suggested.
Rin Hoshino glanced at him and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling of worry in his eyes.
"It's not a secret."
She hesitated and said, "It's the tradition of our Hoshino clan, two heirs, each in charge of different affairs. ”
Tradition?
Meaning her mother, Aoi Hoshino, also has a twin sister?
Haruhiko was thoughtful.
The big family is just a flower.
With so many means, even if something happens to an heir, it won't have much impact.
Haruhiko chatted with Rin Hoshino all the way.
He is also observing Aoi Hoshino and Hoshino Hoshino.
The two of them were like wooden figures, motionless.
I don't know, I will think it is a realistic doll.
Haruhiko got out of the car.
He looked at the building in the distance with some surprise.
Tokyo Opera City.
Towering skyscrapers.
Under the night, dazzling lights flickered.
This is Shinjuku.
The most famous business district in all of Tokyo.
At this time, in front of the building, there are all kinds of high-end cars.
Men and women dressed in expensive clothes and wearing precious jewelry walk gracefully.
But after Aoi Hoshino appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.
Izumo Shrine, contemporary Miyaji.
Absolute big shots.
The waiter hurried down the steps, reached her face, bowed down, and said, "Hoshino-sama, welcome. ”
Adult, is a term that has disappeared in modern times.
But for Aoi Hoshino, it's suitable.
Haruhiko sighed with emotion.
After millennia, this game world still doesn't seem to have changed.
The four men followed the waiter into the hall.
A golden glow illuminates the vision.
It comes from a giant crystal lamp hanging from the dome-like ceiling.
Haruhiko looked at the center of the stage, where the red curtain hung and he couldn't see anything.
There are a lot of seats in the opera house, but they are very far apart, leaving a lot of empty seats.
Aoi Hoshino was placed in a private room on the second floor.
The view is quite wide.
It just happened to be right in front of the stage.
In addition to this, there are huge TVs.
It is also the picture of the stage.
The time officially came to seven o'clock.
All the lights disappeared and it was dark.
At that moment, the curtain of the stage opened.
A pillar of light landed inside the glass box.
Inside is a katana.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit came to the stage.
He didn't have any extra nonsense and went straight to the introduction.
"This sword is called the Clothes Drying Knife, and it is a weapon used by the Great Swordsman of the Wind thousands of years ago before he became famous."
The auctioneer scanned the audience and said, "Who is the wind, I don't think I need to introduce it, the starting price is 100 million yen." ”
Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.
Hurricane is the game character he controls in the first week.
When he cleared the customs, he was already the number one swordsman in Dongying.
I didn't think of the second week, and I still have reservations.
Is this an easter egg?
Haruhiko pondered for a moment and realized that it was of little use.
A thousand years has already been a sea of vicissitudes.
And when he was in the first week, he didn't know that he was going to cross.
The legacy left behind is almost none.
As for the clothes knives, there is nothing special about them.
That is, the blade is very long and has a wide attack range.
It's Haruhiko's favorite weapon in the early game.
Structurally speaking, it is the second order.
But because it's related to the wind, there are many people asking for bids in the auction.
Jianhao is one of the four major professions with a large population base.
Hurricane, a thousand years ago, suppressed the ruthless people of the world.
Everyone wants to try their luck and see if they can find out his secret from a knife.
It was finally sold for 1 billion yen.
Big dogs.
Haruhiko sighed with emotion.
I didn't expect that a knife I chose casually at the beginning could appreciate to such an extent.
But he found himself feeling too early.
The latter thing is more outrageous than the other.
After the 10th lot, it is no longer sold for Japanese yen, but a special item.
For example, spiritual tools, elixirs, or spells.
"The next thing to start filming is a piece of dragon scales, which was written in the Heian period in the Fuso Chronicles, which was written in the Heian period, and it was recorded that in October of the first year of Kanhei, there was a yellow dragon ascending to heaven, which is called the phenomenon of ascending dragons."
The auctioneer raised a finger, "The starting price is a third-order spirit appretherement." ”
"One piece."
The loud and domineering voice sounded immediately, "I hope everyone will give the Utsunomiya clan a face." ”
