Twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Xue Ji finished her cultivation and went to the kitchen to cook.

It didn't take long for the meal to be served.

After lunch, Haruhiko went back to his room to arrange the charm.

In a moment, he walked to the door.

"I'm going out!"

Haruhiko shouted as she changed her shoes.

Yukihime, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, immediately appeared in front of him.

She wiped her hands on her apron and hugged him.

"Be careful when you go out."

Yukihime buried her head in his neck.

The soft skin is unobstructed and touches him.

Half a ball of snow white squeezed into his sight.

Haruhiko felt the sound of breathing in his ears, and subconsciously reached out to hug Yukihime's slender and weak willow waist.

He sniffed between his silver hair, and there was a faint fragrance that shook his spirits.

"It's hot, bring this."

After a few minutes, Yukihime let go of him, her beautiful fingers stretched, revealing a jewel-like snowball in her palm.

"What is it?"

Haruhiko glanced at her stunning face, and picked up the snowball with some curiosity, which was extremely cold to the touch.

"Cool."

Yukihime whispered, a blush flashing across her pretty face.

"Thank you."

Thinking that she has the blood of the Snow Maiden clan, it seems very reasonable to make a snowball that can be used to cool down.

"Hmm."

Yukihime stepped forward, pressed her face to her face, and said, "Whatever the reason, you must carry it." ”

Haruhiko answered, and there was a slight guess in his heart.

Maybe it's not just about cooling.

Speaking of which, what rank of youkai is Yukihime?

Haruhiko didn't ask much.

After saying goodbye to Yukihime, he leaves South Park.

On the way, he sent a message to Rin Hoshino, saying that he would be there soon.

Seconds later, he received a reply.

Rin Hoshino said she was already waiting at the gate of Koishikawa Korakuen Garden.

So early?

Haruhiko has always liked to go out half an hour early.

Unexpectedly, Rin Hoshino couldn't wait even more than him.

"Thank you, master."

Haruhiko got out of the car, searched everywhere, and after a while, he locked on Rin Hoshino.

She wears a white sleeveless T-shirt and slim-fitting denim shorts, as well as a beret on her head.

A rather cool dress, revealing the breath of summer.

It would be even better if it was replaced with dead reservoir water or something.

But considering that this is to fight monsters, not swimming, it is more appropriate.

"Good afternoon, Haruhiko-kun."

Rin Hoshino noticed him and trotted in front of him, greeting him.

In the bright sun, her exposed legs looked fair and beautiful.

She didn't wear knee socks today, they were cute white socks.

"How's your illness?"

The corners of Haruhiko's mouth couldn't help but curl up and asked.

"Actually, it's not a disease."

Rin Hoshino saw the strange smile on his face and knew that he had already guessed, so he said, "It was I who advanced to the second order. ”

"Congratulations."

Haruhiko was stunned and spoke.

At the age of fifteen, he was able to reach the second order.

He is worthy of being the heir of a big family.

According to the setting of this world, when the spiritual energy reaches the standard, it will usher in an advanced test.

But the pass rate is extremely low.

Judging from the statistics of the Great Imperial Palace, even if it is the easiest first order to advance to the second level, the success rate is only 60%.

This means that the remaining 40% will always be the first order.

And their psionic cap is up to 1,500 points, after which they can't improve anymore.

Only the player, just collect enough materials.

But it's quite expensive.

Haruhiko now has two materials, and there are still five materials missing.

Seven materials, six are of the first order and one is of the second order.

The trouble is the second-order material.

Too expensive.

Haruhiko plans to find it herself.

Because this material is called the spider silk of the bride.

The bride is a kind of monster in the legend of Dongying, and the collective name of the humanoid spider.

Haruhiko only needs to find a second-order network bride and pull out its spider silk.

"It's up to me to protect Haruhiko-kun today!"

Rin Hoshino said with a smile.

When she was in the first order before, she was able to fight back and forth with the second-order onmyoji with the spirit equipment.

Now the second order, needless to say, must have a lot more means.

"Thank you, Lady Rin."

Seeing this, Haruhiko also cooperated.

"Then, the little attendant will come in with me."

Rin Hoshino hooked her index finger, and a hint of flattery appeared on her delicate little face.

It's like a secret invitation.

"It looks like I'm at the mercy of today."

Haruhiko sighed and resigned herself to following in her footsteps.

Rin Hoshino turned his face and said, "Yes, you're very obedient." ”

I was so panicked that I had to tease.

Haruhiko smiled and asked, "Are there any rewards?" ”

Rin Hoshino looked back at him, and when he looked at him, he turned around like a frightened young beast again.

"Are you a child? And a reward? ”

As she spoke, she pulled a lollipop out of her pocket and shoved it into his hand.

Haruhiko was a little stunned.

You're a kid, aren't you?

Still like lollipops?

"Yes...... I bought it for my sister, not for me to eat. ”

Rin Hoshino realized something and explained softly.

Hoshino Hoshino?

Haruhiko thought of her sister, who was like a robot and cold.

Does she like to eat lollipops?

It's quite a contrast.

"Rin."

Haruhiko suddenly shouted.

"Huh?"

Rin Hoshino subconsciously looked at him, and as a result, he was stuffed with a lollipop.

She instinctively bit and licked, a sweet smell bursting in her mouth.

"I don't eat lollipops."

Haruhiko explained casually.

Rin Hoshino came back to her senses and nodded.

Koishikawa Korakuen is a strolling-style rockery spring garden.

More than 3,000 plants are planted in the 70,000-square-meter garden.

There are many designs that simulate famous attractions in various places.

"This is it."

Rin Hoshino stopped by a stream.

Haruhiko looked around.

Because of the murder, the neighborhood was surrounded by a police cordon.

But the body is no longer there.

Haruhiko thought slightly.

Since he is a psyker, he naturally has an unusual way to find someone.

For example, the circle.

Essentially, it's a fixed spell or spell that is strengthened.

Use psionic materials and specific psionic energy operations to achieve effects and effects that go far beyond ordinary spells.

But if he can think of it, others can think of it.

"Have you found any traces of the murderer?"

Haruhiko asked, thinking about it.

"Nope."

Rin Hoshino shook his head and said, "I've used a lot of methods, but I still haven't found anything. ”

Sure enough.

Haruhiko wasn't surprised.

But it's not that the Phalanx is useless or anything.

If you change to a fifth-order powerhouse, the effect will naturally go without saying.

However, this is only a second-order order.

"I'm going to do a carpet search in the neighborhood."

Rin Hoshino said his plan, "I have a demon, and a cat can find people based on smell. ”

It sounds doable, but in reality, the odds are small.

Because the smell will disappear.

And will the murderer be stupid to stay around and not run away?

Haruhiko was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at the stream.

Some of the clear rivers are filled with a school of goldfish.

There were eyewitnesses to this murder.

He remembered that the stream at Korakuen Korakuen in Koishikawa was actually a tributary of Kanda Kamisui.

It is natural that there are fish in living water.

That's where his title of ventriloquist comes into play.

"I have a solution."

Haruhiko met Rin Hoshino's gaze and said with a smile, "You can give it a try, maybe it won't be so troublesome." ”

He crouched down and plunged his hands into the river.

Rin Hoshino looked at him suspiciously, and after a while, he showed a surprised expression.

I saw all kinds of fish around him.
