Haruhiko paid the bill.
As soon as I walked out of the fried rice restaurant, I saw two men in black.
There is also an expensive-looking stretch sedan in the back.
"Miss."
The two men in black bowed together.
Haruhiko felt a sense of violation.
Hoshino Rin looked like a Yakuza lady at this moment, rather than a shrine maiden.
The car door opens.
"Come here."
Hoshino Rin got in the car and turned to look at Haruhiko.
Haruhiko came to his senses and regained his composure.
In the first week of the game, he was a famous swordsman in Japan.
This scene is nothing.
Although the first week is not the immersive second week.
There were two people in the car.
One is wearing the most common miko attire, white clothes, undershirt and scarlet hakama, as well as white footbags and red button straw sandals.
The appearance is quite similar to Hoshino Rin, but he looks more mature, maybe in his thirties.
Not surprisingly, it was Hoshino Aoi.
The chief minister of Izumo Shrine.
As the person in charge of the largest shrine, she is almost one of the most noble people in Japan.
What matches her strength is that she is a fifth-level priest.
And he is the only known fifth-level priest.
But she gave Haruhiko a very bad feeling.
A kind of indifference radiating from the inside out.
There was no emotion in the face or eyes.
It's like a robot.
Her coldness is different from that of Jinguji Fuyu. It's not that she avoids strangers, but that she ignores them like a god.
The other one has almost the same figure as Hoshino Rin.
But with the hood on, he couldn't see clearly.
"Mother."
Hoshino Rin bowed expressionlessly.
Hoshino Aoi glanced at her and said nothing.
It was as if the person in front of her was not her daughter, but a stranger.
Haruhiko now somewhat understands why Hoshino Rin reacted strangely when mentioning her mother.
So that's it.
The only puzzling thing is that with such a relationship, he actually prepared lunch for his daughter.
The sense of dissonance is too strong.
Haruhiko instinctively sensed a problem.
"Yingying, when you see your sister, why don't you say hello?"
Hoshino Rin's expression changed, showing a faint smile.
Hoshino Hotaru raised his head, took off his hood, and looked at her with black eyes.
After opening his mouth silently, the hood was put back on.
Haruhiko looked surprised.
Because the appearance of the two people is simply printed from the same mold.
I just don't know if this is the case elsewhere.
Why didn't the original person know that Hoshino Rin had a twin sister for so many years?
Is it because Haruhiko is a priest now that he is allowed to know?
And Hotaru Hoshino seems to be mute?
He felt more and more that this family was quite strange.
"Haruhiko-kun, come and sit."
Hoshino Rin waved to him.
Haruhiko walked to sit next to her, and then remembered a question.
He did not say hello to Hoshino Aoi and Hoshino Hotaru.
And the two of them ignored him.
"My mother and sister have always been like this, so you don't have to worry about it."
Hoshino Rin noticed his expression and explained.
"Are you and your sister twins?"
Haruhiko stared at Hoshino Rin who was very close.
Her reaction was not as nonchalant as she said.
Hoshino Rin glanced at him and found the worry in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"It's not really a secret."
She hesitated and said, "It is our Hoshino clan's tradition that two heirs are responsible for different affairs."
Tradition?
Does this mean her mother Aoi Hoshino also has a twin sister?
Haruhiko was thoughtful.
The big family has fun.
With so many methods, even if something happens to a certain heir, it won't have much impact.
Haruhiko occasionally chatted with Hoshino Rin.
He was also observing Hoshino Aoi and Hoshino Hotaru.
The two of them were like wooden figures, motionless.
If you don’t know better, you might think it’s some kind of lifelike doll.
Haruhiko got out of the car.
He looked at the buildings in the distance with some surprise.
Tokyo Opera City.
Towering skyscrapers.
Under the night, there are dazzling lights.
This is Shinjuku.
The most famous business district in Tokyo.
At this time, in front of the building, there were all kinds of high-end cars.
Men and women dressed in expensive clothes and jewelry move gracefully forward.
But after Hoshino Aoi appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.
Izumo Shrine, contemporary palace minister.
Absolute big shot.
The waiter ran down the steps quickly, came to her, bowed and said, "Mr. Hoshino, welcome to your arrival."
Sir, is a title that has disappeared in modern times.
But for Hoshino Aoi, it is suitable.
Haruhiko felt a little emotional.
After thousands of years, this game world seems to have remained unchanged.
The four people followed the waiter into the hall.
Golden light illuminated the vision.
It is a giant crystal lamp hanging from the dome-shaped ceiling.
Haruhiko looked at the center of the stage, where there was a red curtain and he couldn't see anything.
There are many seats in the opera house, but they are widely spaced, leaving many empty seats.
Hoshino Aoi was arranged in a separate private room on the second floor.
The view is quite broad.
Just facing the stage.
In addition to this, there are huge TVs.
What is played is also a picture of the stage.
The time has officially reached seven o'clock.
All the lights disappeared and there was darkness.
At this moment, the stage curtain was raised.
A beam of light fell inside the glass box.
Inside is a katana.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit came on stage.
He started the introduction directly without any unnecessary nonsense.
"This sword is called the Clothes-drying Sword. It was a weapon used by the great swordsman Gale thousands of years ago before he became famous."
The auctioneer scanned the audience and said, "Who is Hayate? You don't need to introduce me. The starting price is 100 million yen."
Haruhiko raised his eyebrows.
Hayate was the game character he controlled in the first round.
By the time he passed the level, he was already the greatest swordsman in Japan.
I didn't expect the second show, and still had reservations.
Is this an Easter egg?
Haruhiko thought for a moment and found that it was of little use.
Thousands of years have already changed.
Moreover, during his first week, he didn’t know that he was going to travel through time.
The legacy left behind is almost none.
As for the long clothes-drying knife, there is nothing special about it.
The blade is very long and has a wide attack range.
It is Haruhiko's favorite weapon in the early stages of the game.
In terms of rank, it is the second level.
But because it was related to Hayate, there were many bids at the auction house.
Swordsman is one of the four major professions with a large population base.
Gale is another ruthless person who suppressed the world thousands of years ago.
Everyone wanted to try their luck and see if they could discover his secret from a knife.
The deal was finally sold for one billion yen.
Big dog owner.
Haruhiko felt a little emotional.
I didn’t expect that a knife I randomly selected would increase in value to this extent.
But he found that he sighed too early.
What follows is more outrageous than the last.
After the tenth lot, it is no longer a transaction in Japanese yen, but a special item.
Such as spiritual tools, elixirs or spells, etc.
"The next thing to be filmed is a dragon scale. In the "Fuso Chronicles" written in the Heian period, it was recorded that in October of the first year of Kanpei, a yellow dragon ascended to the sky, which is called the rising dragon phenomenon."
The auctioneer raised a finger and said, "The starting price is a third-level spiritual tool."
"One piece."
A domineering voice sounded immediately, "I hope everyone will give the Utsunomiya family some face."
