Because there are three people, the content of the chat is actually quite normal.

Rin Hoshino will not talk to Haruhiko about intimate topics in front of Hoshino Hotaru.

The reverse is also true.

Of course, with Rin Hoshino's personality, he and Haruhiko will not be too close when they are alone.

But Hoshino Hoshino is hard to say.

Haruhiko and Rin Hoshino mainly talk about the Takamagahara ruins.

Izumo Shrine, as the first shrine, was given the power to form an exploration team, just like the Tsuchigomon clan.

In other words, there is a possibility for two people to form a team.

Haruhiko is a member of the Exploration Department of the Edo Archaeological Bureau, so even if he doesn't expose the relationship between the Tsuchigomon clan, it's okay.

It's possible, but if you really want to form a team, it's not that easy.

The main thing is that Rin Hoshino has a different identity.

Haruhiko is an outsider after all.

Speaking of this, he suddenly had a question.

Why didn't Aoi Hoshino object to him associating with the Hoshino sisters?

Isn't she afraid of problems?

After all, Izumo Shrine has never had a man.

If Haruhiko and them kill one day, wouldn't it be a destruction of tradition?

After chatting casually for half an hour, it was time to eat.

The three of them got up and sat down at the dinner table.

The meal has been set.

It's still quite hearty.

It is worth mentioning that Dongying has to eat red bean rice for his birthday.

Because red beans represent festivity, and at the same time, red also has the meaning of warding off evil spirits.

Haruhiko doesn't have a birthday, and he eats ordinary rice.

To be honest, he doesn't really like to eat at Izumo Shrine.

Because the atmosphere is colder.

Hoshino Aoi never speaks when she eats, and she has a strong aura, so it led to this result.

Lunch was over, and the atmosphere was warm again.

After Aoi Hoshino finished washing the dishes, she left the living room.

Now there are only three people left: Haruhiko, Rin Hoshino, and Hoshino Hotaru.

Because it was a New Year's holiday, there was no need to go to school, so there was an afternoon.

"How about going out shopping?"

Hoshino Rin glanced at Hoshino Hotaru, then turned to Haruhiko, and said, "Haruhiko-kun, although I often come to Izumo Shrine, I don't have a good visit to Izumo City. It's early now, and we can look around. ”

In fact, Haruhiko spent some time in Izumo City.

Although most of them practiced in the ruins of the female tengu, there was also a time when they infiltrated Izumo Shrine to meet Hoshino Hotaru.

It's just that this matter must not be known to Rin Hoshino.

"Okay."

Haruhiko nodded and said.

Rin Hoshino's suggestion is really good.

After all, you can't sit in a room with three people watching TV in an afternoon, right?

That's really boring.

"I'm not going."

Hoshino Hoshino said.

"What's wrong?"

Rin Hoshino couldn't help but be stunned and asked.

"It's fine."

Hoshino Hotaru shook her head and said, "I don't want to go." ”

Rin Hoshino was about to persuade again, but suddenly realized something.

Could it be that my sister wants to give the two of them a chance to be alone?

She looked at Hoshino Hoshino, who had a cold face, and her heart warmed.

My sister has grown up after all.

used to be called Haruhiko's brother-in-law, but now he has taken the initiative to quit.

"Let's go together, it's okay."

Rin Hoshino stretched out her hand, rubbed her head, and said.

As an older sister, it is impossible to snub your sister because of an opportunity.

"No, no."

Hoshino Hotaru stood up and said, "I'm not interested in shopping, I want to cultivate, don't bother me." ”

She glanced at Haruhiko and went back to her room.

Rin Hoshino smiled helplessly.

Hoshino Hotaru's character is like this, and she can't help it.

What she decides, no matter how much she is persuaded, is useless.

"Haruhiko-kun."

Rin Hoshino turned her head and asked, "Then why don't you come with me?" ”

"Nothing is too much trouble."

Haruhiko looked at her delicate little face and couldn't help but smile.

Rin Hoshino got up and stopped at the entrance, where she put on her geta.

Unlike Hoshino Hoshino's bare feet, she wears a foot bag, that is, white socks.

is a very orthodox shrine maiden.

"Wearing a shrine maiden costume, will it be too eye-catching?"

Seeing that she had no intention of changing her clothes, Haruhiko asked.

He didn't want to get all kinds of attention while he was shopping.

That would be very uncomfortable.

"Don't worry."

Rin Hoshino opened the door and said, "This is Izumo Shrine in Izumo City, and it's normal for shrine maidens to appear. ”

Haruhiko was slightly stunned and reacted.

Theoretically, Izumo City is the territory of Izumo Shrine.

Even if a shrine maiden appears, no one will blatantly disturb her.

Haruhiko changed into her shoes and left with her.

Because it's New Year, Izumo Shrine is overcrowded.

The two men did not go through the gate, but through the back door.

Behind Izumo Shrine is Mt. Yakumo.

The last time the three of them had a picnic in the mountains, they were also familiar with the road.

After going around, Haruhiko and Rin Hoshino came to the street.

It's afternoon, but because it's January, it's not hot, but it's not particularly cold either.

Haruhiko looked around and couldn't help but sigh, it was worthy of the New Year, and there were a lot of people.

There are also many shrine maidens among them.

But it's not eye-catching.

Because many pedestrians wear kimonos.

The colors of both are relatively bright, mixed together, and not too prominent.

"Ah, I forgot something."

Rin Hoshino suddenly showed a slightly remorseful expression.

"What's the matter?"

Haruhiko asked, a little confused.

"New Year's Prayers."

Rin Hoshino said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Originally, it was the purpose of Haruhiko-kun's visit to Izumo Shrine, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until now." ”

"It's okay."

Haruhiko said indifferently, "Anyway, I grew up in a shrine since I was a child, and there are enough blessings. ”

What New Year's prayer is the reason he casually finds.

Besides, he does have too many blessings, so much that his body can't bear it.

Do you want to pray for Yukihime and the others to let you go?

"How can anyone dislike himself for being blessed?"

Rin Hoshino pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Naturally, the more blessings, the better. ”

“……”

Haruhiko secretly said that you don't know my situation.

He's just out of luck.

"Later, when we go back to the shrine, we will go and pray for blessings."

Rin Hoshino waved her white arm and decided to settle down.

"That's fine."

Haruhiko couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

But he quickly reacted that the most famous or most effective thing about Izumo Shrine was marriage.

It's not for him.

His special physique is similar to Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West".

It's a leprechaun who wants to eat him or get married.

It is that Tang Sanzang is a high-ranking monk who can hold it.

But Haruhiko doesn't have a lot of bottom lines.

With a little force, you can break through the bottom line.

"Haruhiko-kun."

Rin Hoshino trotted to a store and turned back to wave at him.

The shrine maiden costume didn't reveal any scenery, but her every move revealed a strong girlish feeling.

This is completely different from Yukihime or Doomon Mari.

Haruhiko couldn't help but smile.

He stepped forward and found a mask seller.

Most of the masks are based on youkai.

It is a custom derived from the New Year.

Adults put on masks to pretend to be youkai, and children sprinkle beans to disperse them.

"Which do you like?"

Rin Hoshino pointed to the mask that covered the wall and said, "Today you are a guest, take your pick." ”

"The fox mask."

Haruhiko swept around and said with a smile, "I live at Inari Shrine, and I can be regarded as a priest of Inari God. ”

"Well, I want a cat mask."

Rin Hoshino thought for a moment and said.

She has a black cat, a demon, plus she loves cats herself.

The boss took off the two masks and handed them to Rin Hoshino.

Haruhiko didn't take the initiative to go up and pay, and really experienced the feeling of being raised by a rich girl.

In fact, Rin Hoshino does have money.

In this psionic world, shrines often boast a lot of wealth.

It's like the ancient temples were quite wealthy.

Haruhiko put on a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes.

The same goes for Rin Hoshino.

The two men looked at each other and smiled, and then continued to move on.

Shopping, the main thing is lively.

Haruhiko doesn't really like it very much.

But Rin Hoshino may be happy because he goes out to play less often.

Stopped and stopped along the way, bought a lot of gadgets and snacks.

The sunlight overhead wanes.

After three hours of shopping, Rin Hoshino finally stopped.

At this time they were in front of a park.

"Haruhiko-kun."

Rin Hoshino stepped forward in a few steps and sat on the swing.

The breeze blew, and the shrine maiden's costume was lifted, revealing her white, slender legs.

Haruhiko looked at it, sat down next to her, and also swinged.

The two of them walked around for a long time, but they didn't speak at this time, and the atmosphere became much calmer.

However, there are still lively sounds in the distance from time to time.

Rin Hoshino turned his head to look at Haruhiko.

He was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression clearly.

She quickly withdrew her gaze and looked into the street in the distance.

For her, this year's birthday is the best one.

In previous years, Haruhiko would give gifts, but would not hang out with her like this.

The main reason is that they were in different worlds at that time, and their identities were very different.

Now they are all psionics, and there is a possibility of being together.

Rin Hoshino pursed her lips, a smile on her face.

Although the future is troublesome, there is always hope.

Ten minutes later, the swing stopped.

"Haruhiko-kun, let's go back."

Rin Hoshino took off her mask and said with a chuckle.

Haruhiko was slightly stunned.

In the warm sun, the girl's fair and delicate little face was dyed with a dim yellow.

But her bright smile and eyes made her seem to be shining.

"Hmm."

Haruhiko nodded.

The two men returned the same way.

This time, I didn't lose time on the way, and I quickly returned to Izumo Shrine.

"It just so happens that there are a lot fewer people, so let's go and pray for blessings."

Rin Hoshino looked left and right, immediately found the gap, and stepped forward.

Haruhiko followed behind her.

After waiting in line for a few minutes, it was their turn.

"Shh

Rin Hoshino raised her index finger.

Because the young shrine maiden who is in charge of the blessing lottery is preparing to reveal her identity.

She noticed Haruhiko, and a sudden expression appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Rin Hoshino's face stiffened, a little unnatural.

"Guest, do you want to marry?"

The corners of the young witch's mouth raised slightly, and she asked in a playful tone.

Although Rin Hoshino is the heir of Izumo Shrine, he has a kind personality, so he has a good relationship with many priests and shrine maidens.

It's just that now, she'd rather be indifferent than encounter such an embarrassing situation.

"It's not!"

Rin Hoshino blushed and said, "Seek luck!" ”

"Really?"

The young shrine maiden asked with a smile.

"Really!"

Rin Hoshino sneaked a glance at Haruhiko and was relieved to find that he didn't react.

But I don't know why, and I'm a little disappointed.

The young witch didn't tease anymore and handed her the bamboo stick.

Rin Hoshino's expression returned to a little normal, and she took a deep breath and began to shake the lot.

Soon, there were results.

With a nervous look on her face, she picked up the lottery.

As the heir of Izumo Shrine, she naturally knows how to unsign.

Rin Hoshino had a smile on her face.

It's good luck.

It shows that her fortune will be very good this year.

It is worth mentioning that because the gods are far away, the draw is purely a matter of luck.

Haruhiko didn't care too much.

In this world of psionics, it is clear that strength is greater than luck.

"Guest, do you want to marry?"

When it was Haruhiko's turn, the young shrine maiden looked at him with a smile, still asking the same question.

"I ......"

Haruhiko was about to refuse, but noticing Rin Hoshino's expectant look, he nodded again.

In fact, he also wanted to know whether this Izumo Shrine would work or not.

"Okay."

The young shrine maiden nodded and handed him another bamboo stick holder.

Haruhiko took it, shook it a few times, and then the sign landed.

Before he could make a move, Rin Hoshino had already picked it up.

She swept her eyes and froze.

It says that Haruhiko will have peach blossom luck.

But what he is asking for is marriage, which means that there will be many people who want to marry him.

Rin Hoshino became alert after being stunned.

She began to wonder who was close to Haruhiko.

But she didn't think of Yukihime or Tsuchigomon Mashiro.

Because Haruhiko had told her that they were all friends of his mother.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her strange reaction, Haruhiko couldn't help but ask, "Is it bad?" ”

"It's not."

Rin Hoshino came back to his senses and said, "It's signed." ”

“……”

Haruhiko said secretly.

"Then congratulations to both of you."

The young shrine maiden smiled sincerely.

At this moment, it is as if the wedding master of ceremonies is possessed.

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Rin Hoshino's face suddenly turned red.

"I'm congratulating both of you on winning the lottery, nothing else."

The young witch blinked and said.

Rin Hoshino was suddenly petrified.

This time, I realized that I had a misunderstanding.

She subconsciously grabbed Haruhiko and ran out.

When the young shrine maiden saw this scene, the smile on her face became even stronger.

Haruhiko was caught off guard and could only speed up to keep up with her.

Outside the hall, Rin Hoshino stopped.

She gasped for breath, and suddenly saw herself holding Haruhiko's hand again.

After a moment's pause, she quickly let go.

"Sunny ...... Haruhiko-kun, let's go back! ”

Rin Hoshino turned around and walked towards the apse.

The roots of her ears were already red.

Haruhiko suddenly thought of Yui Tachibana.

The two of them are really cute.

Rin Hoshino quickly took off her shoes and ran to the kitchen, leaving only one sentence, I'll pour tea.

Haruhiko stood in the hallway and couldn't help but smile.

He casually opened the door and entered the living room.

Just then, a gust of wind struck.

Hoshino Hotaru fell from the sky and fell into his arms.

Fortunately, everyone is a psychic, otherwise, it would have been two corpses and two lives.

Haruhiko was about to speak, but he was gagged.

Hoshino Hotaru straightened up, holding his head with both hands, and began the lip exchange she was good at.

Haruhiko's heart shook.

The main thing is that Rin Hoshino is in the kitchen, and it doesn't take a few minutes to pour tea.

Therefore, it has to be fast.
