Except for Hoshino Hoshino, I didn't see anyone.

This proves Haruhiko's previous guess.

She came secretly without Rin Hoshino.

Hoshino Hotaru saw Haruhiko and immediately trotted forward.

The clogs made a clattering sound on the ground.

She threw herself directly into Haruhiko's arms, then raised her head and stepped forward.

A soft touch came.

There is also a faint aroma.

Haruhiko reached out and rubbed it lightly on her head.

She is a typical shrine maiden today.

Fingers run through the hair and are very soft.

Hoshino Hoshino squinted like a kitten.

After a few minutes, he and Haruhiko ended their lip exchange.

But he didn't let go of him, his head rubbed lightly in his arms, and his cold little face showed a hint of enjoyment.

Haruhiko felt her affection, and was about to speak when her phone rang.

He stopped touching his head and took out his phone, it was Rin Hoshino's.

Haruhiko showed Hoshino the screen of her phone and then tapped her finger on her soft lips, motioning for her not to make a sound.

"Haruhiko-kun, good morning."

Rin Hoshino's energetic voice came out.

Haruhiko had planned to fly to Izumo Shrine before.

Therefore, it was earlier to get up.

Hoshino Hotaru was also very early in order to meet Haruhiko in advance.

It's just eight o'clock.

"Good morning, Rin-sama."

Haruhiko responded with a smile.

Hoshino rested her chin on his chest and just raised her head and stared at him.

Because of their proximity, she could hear the conversation between the two men.

"You're coming to Izumo Shrine today for a New Year's prayer, do you need me to pick you up?"

Rin Hoshino explained, "You can use a teleportation array to come over. ”

"No, you don't."

Haruhiko was taken aback.

Now that Rin Hoshino is here, it will evolve into a sister Shura field.

He didn't dare to try, not knowing what the results would be.

"What's wrong?"

Rin Hoshino asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else going on with Haruhiko-kun?" ”

"Yes, indeed."

Haruhiko said in a hurry, "I'm going to get something." ”

Rin Hoshino was slightly stunned when she heard this.

But she was smart enough to react.

It's her birthday, take something, and obviously prepare a birthday present is more likely.

"That's good."

A smile appeared on the corner of Hoshino's mouth and said, "Call me when it's time." ”

"Well, I will."

Haruhiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It should be there in another hour, and it won't take too much time." ”

The chat ends.

He put away his phone and looked down at Hoshino.

She still didn't have much expression.

It's just that after noticing Haruhiko's eyes, she stood on her tiptoes again and began to attack verbally.

It wasn't until her jade feet were a little tired that they separated.

Haruhiko gasped.

Hoshino Hoshino's little face showed a hint of redness, which was cute.

He couldn't help but pinch her soft face.

"We've been standing outside for so long, let's go inside."

Haruhiko saw that Hoshino Hotaru had no intention of letting go of his hand, so he spoke.

"You carry me."

Hoshino Hoshino lifted her bare feet and said, "It's uncomfortable to tiptoe for too long." ”

Haruhiko subconsciously swept his eyes.

Exquisitely fair.

But this reason is clearly made up.

As a psyker, it's not so easy to feel uncomfortable.

Haruhiko didn't break it, he turned around and squatted down slightly.

In the next second, a light and soft body pressed against his back.

He held Hoshino Hotaru in both hands, entered the courtyard, and stopped in front of the door.

Hoshino took out the key and opened the door.

Standing in the hallway, there was a bang twice.

The clogs fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Haruhiko knew that Hoshino Hotaru still didn't want to come down, so he didn't say anything more.

He closed the door and walked into the living room.

Standing in front of the sofa, Haruhiko turned her over, hugged her in his arms, and then sat down.

"My gift."

Hoshino Hotaru was now lying in a princess holding position, and she looked up at him and stretched out her hand.

"Here you go."

Haruhiko took out the Kagura Bell and said, "I got the bamboo leaf of the Tenden Maiden before, so I made the Kagura Bell." ”

"Thank you."

Hoshino Hoshino was a little surprised.

What she didn't expect was a fourth-order spirit apple.

Although the fourth order is not particularly precious to the big forces, ordinary forces or psionic beings can't take it out.

"What's my sister's gift?"

Hoshino Hoshino suddenly asked after accepting the Kagura bell.

Haruhiko was slightly stunned.

But I told her anyway.

The main thing is that there is nothing to hide from this.

"You're really greedy."

Hoshino's soft lips moved silently.

Because of the previous two exchanges, her lips shimmered with a faint sheen.

"Greedy?"

Haruhiko was a little stunned, not understanding what he meant.

Shouldn't it be a compliment to him for being generous?

"Sending the same thing means that my sister and I don't want to miss it."

Hoshino Hotaru stared at him and said.

“……”

Haruhiko was stunned.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he really doesn't have this idea.

Because the two of them had the same birthday and were sisters, they gave the same gift.

If it's different, it's always going to be compared, and it's likely that both people will be offended.

But now he realizes that he has thought less and is not comprehensive enough.

Hoshino Hoshino, who is in a state of love, naturally hopes that she is special.

After thinking for a moment, Haruhiko put a button on the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm sorry. ”

"No need to apologize."

Hoshino Hotaru shook her head and said, "Originally, I was the one who shouldn't have appeared. ”

"Hotaru."

Haruhiko frowned and poked her forehead, "Don't say such things. ”

"I don't mind sharing it with my sister."

Hoshino Hotaru looked at his serious appearance and said, "And my sister doesn't mind. ”

"What are you talking about?"

Haruhiko coughed dryly twice.

Hoshino Hoshino didn't mind, he could roughly understand.

But how is it possible for Rin Hoshino?

He only thinks Hoshino Hoshino is talking nonsense.

"I won't lie to you."

Hoshino tilted her head and said, "You can try." ”

Try it and die?

Haruhiko tugged at the corners of her mouth.

He still didn't believe.

No matter how good the relationship between sisters is, can it be so good?

"Why don't you mind?"

Haruhiko suddenly wanted to hear her explain the reason in person.

“……”

Hoshino Hoshino was silent.

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

The previous doubts resurfaced in my mind.

Why did the last step of the Twin Legacy go to the First Forbidden Zone at the age of twenty-five?

Back then, Hoshino Aoi and Hoshino Riri, only the former came back, and the latter was dead or alive?

If it is death, is it an accident, or is it inevitable?

Haruhiko suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

If it is inevitable to die, there is an explanation for the behavior that Hoshino Hotaru and Hoshino Rin don't mind.

But that's the last thing he wants.

"Hotaru."

Haruhiko gently stroked her face.

Hoshino Hotaru came back to her senses, put her arms around his neck, and gagged him.

Another war of words.

Haruhiko smiled helplessly.

He didn't seem to be able to follow the question.

"Tell you at night."

Hoshino Hoshino took a deep breath and said as if he had plucked up great courage.

Haruhiko was stunned.

He didn't expect an answer, but suddenly he turned around.

Although I don't understand the specific reason, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

Even if it's the worst guess, Haruhiko can prepare in advance.

As long as you reach the fifth order as soon as possible, you can naturally stop it.

Hoshino is just nineteen years old today, and there are five years left before she turns twenty-five.

With the game plug-in, five years is enough for him to rise to the fifth level, maybe even higher.

At the sixth level, it would be quite easy to deal with this.

"At night? Looks like I'm going to have to stay at your house. ”

Haruhiko looked at Hoshino Hoshino, who was a little apprehensive, and asked, "Would you like to?" ”

"Yes."

Hoshino Hoshino replied without hesitation.

"Then we won't let your sister know, how about it?"

Haruhiko asked with a sudden flash of inspiration.

I'm sorry Rin Hoshino, but in this situation, let's get Hoshino Hotaru done first.

He said this because she had been unhappy about the same gift beforehand.

Now hiding from Rin Hoshino means that she is special.

Hoshino's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hugged Haruhiko tightly again.

She bit his ear, and eventually couldn't help it again and transferred it to his face.

After a few minutes, Haruhiko couldn't help but smile as she looked at her blushing.

Hoshino Hoshino is actually quite interesting.

Obviously acts like a succubus, but it's also very vegetable.

This is blamed on the fact that she is human.

It's completely different from Tsuchigomon Mari or Yukihime.

Haruhiko looks forward to the future.

The two of them didn't communicate again, just hugged and rested.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Haruhiko put Hoshino Hotaru down.

"When the time comes, let's go to Izumo Shrine."

He pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "If you delay any longer, your sister will definitely call again to urge." ”

Hoshino Hoshino is reluctant, but she is not an unreasonable person.

She nodded, walked barefoot to the entrance, and put on her clogs.

Haruhiko carried her on her back before, so she didn't take off her shoes.

The two of them came to the teleportation array in the upstairs room.

A wave of psionic energy flashed.

They appear in the apse of Izumo Shrine.

In order to fake the situation of coming in from outside, Haruhiko slipped out again under the leadership of Hoshino Hotaru.

Fortunately, there is a traitor, otherwise, he would definitely be discovered by the people of Izumo Shrine, and then by Hoshino Rin.

Standing in front of the main hall of Izumo Shrine, Haruhiko took out his mobile phone and sent a message.

It didn't take long for Rin Hoshino to appear.

She's wearing a shrine maiden costume today.

The moment he saw her, Haruhiko really thought it was Hoshino Hotaru who couldn't help but go back again.

After all, with her character, it is indeed very possible.

Haruhiko hesitated, and Rin Hoshino smiled.

He also understands that this is not Hoshino Hoshino.

At this moment, Haruhiko is still a little lucky.

If both of them were such extroverted personalities, then he must have been confused a long time ago.

"Happy birthday, Rin."

Haruhiko took the initiative to greet him, and took out the Kagura Bell, saying, "I hope you don't dislike it." ”

"Thank you."

Rin Hoshino took the Kagura bell and was suddenly a little surprised.

This is the fourth-order spirit applement.

With her current strength, she can undoubtedly use it.

For Haruhiko, taking out the fourth order is also precious enough.

But Rin Hoshino didn't refuse.

When he celebrates his birthday in the future, he will just change to a better spirit tool.

"Haruhiko-kun, please come in."

Rin Hoshino put away the Kagura bell and said with a smile.

Haruhiko nodded, followed her, and entered the apse.

Hoshino Hoshino stood quietly at the door.

The two sisters wore the same shrine maiden costume, which made Haruhiko unable to tell the difference at all.

"Hotaru."

Rin Hoshino beckoned and said, "The guests are here, so you can't be so rude." ”

Hoshino Hoshino stepped forward, her mouth opening silently.

Haruhiko was stunned.

But to avoid Rin Hoshino from discovering the problem, he just pretended to be at a loss.

"Hotaru!"

Rin Hoshino's face appeared with two red glows.

Because Hoshino Hotaru just called Haruhiko's brother-in-law.

This is undoubtedly her bad taste.

Haruhiko secretly said that at night, he should educate her well.

The most embarrassing or shy is Rin Hoshino.

Although she likes Haruhiko and has a crush on him, she doesn't make it clear.

The only thing Rin Hoshino is glad for is that her sister speaks lip language.

Haruhiko didn't understand.

Otherwise, she'd have to find a hole to get into.

"My sister greets you."

Rin Hoshino pretended to be calm and said.

"Hotaru, happy birthday."

Haruhiko smiled and said.

He noticed the change in Rin Hoshino's expression, but this was not the right time to ask questions.

The best thing to do is to act as if nothing happens.

"Thank you."

Hoshino Hoshino pointed to the living room and said, "Brother-in-law, come in, I'll make you tea." ”

She said go in and have tea.

Rin Hoshino turned her head and glanced at Hoshino Hoshino.

She didn't expect her sister to make such a joke today.

It's just ...... I don't know what to say.

Actually, she was a little happy.

After all, his sister recognized Haruhiko.

Hoshino Hotaru didn't care about Hoshino Rin's eyes.

She nodded, turned and went into the living room, heading to the kitchen.

"Isn't there anyone else on today's birthday?"

Haruhiko asked, sitting on the couch.

The two have known each other for many years, and several birthdays have passed.

But every time it was extremely deserted, as if the birthday was just a very ordinary day.

"Hmm."

Rin Hoshino explained, "My mother said that there was nothing to celebrate about birthdays. ”

A doubt suddenly flashed through Haruhiko's mind.

As we all know, Izumo Shrine is male-devoid.

then Who is the father of Rin Hoshino and Hoshino Hotaru?

Haruhina thought that their father died unexpectedly, so he didn't mention it.

But now that he has become a psyker, he has met Tsuchigomon Mareshi and others, and he has a deeper understanding of Izumo Shrine.

I am afraid that the statement of accidental death is not true.

It's just that he can't ask Rin Hoshino directly.

Maybe you can ask Hoshino Hoshino at night.

"I'll do it."

Rin Hoshino saw Hoshino Hotaru come out with a tea tray and quickly got up.

"No, you don't."

Hoshino Hotaru shook her head and said.

She put the teapot down, took out the teapot, and poured three cups of black tea.

"Thank you."

Rin Hoshino was somewhat relieved.

Today's sister is a lot more sensible.

Hoshino Hoshino picked up another cup of black tea and handed it to Haruhiko.

"Thank you."

Haruhiko stretched out his hand, and when he took the black tea, he was suddenly stunned.

Taking advantage of the alternation of the two of them, Hoshino Hotaru hooked his palm.

He subconsciously glanced at Rin Hoshino.

She was drinking tea and didn't notice Hoshino's excesses.

Haruhiko can only be glad that Rin Hoshino is not a fifth-order like Tsuchigomon Mari or Tachibana Yui.

He took a sip of his tea.

Tastes good.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

It's Aoi Hoshino.

She was dressed in a shrine maiden costume and had no expression on her face.

"Aunt Aoi."

Haruhiko stood up to say hello.

"We'll eat later."

Hoshino Aoi nodded and said.

Although she has a cold attitude, she cooks at home.

And the cooking is good.

Especially on birthdays, it's extraordinarily rich.

After she left, the three continued to chat.

More precisely, Haruhiko and Rin Hoshino talked, and Hoshino Hotaru listened.
