Haruhiko looked at the calm river, holding a fishing rod in one hand, a little absent-mindedly.
Hoshino Hotaru clung to his back, not being honest.
Although it was through his clothes, he could still feel the soft body.
And those hands touched his skin, and the warmth gradually spread.
"firefly."
After all, Haruhiko couldn't hold back and stopped her from massaging everywhere.
Hoshino Hotaru stopped her movements, bent over, and looked at him with a little doubt in her eyes.
It was as if she didn't know what she was doing before.
"Sit tight."
Haruhiko said, "If you can't catch a fish later, you won't have anything to eat."
Hoshino Hotaru tilted her head and stared at him for a few seconds before nodding.
She sat next to Haruhiko again and took the fishing rod.
When the fragrance faded away, Haruhiko breathed out secretly.
As expected, beautiful girls only affect my fishing.
Hoshino Hotaru took out her phone and handed it to him.
"If I catch more fish, you sleep with me at night."
"...?"
Haruhiko raised his eyebrows.
This simply questioned his fishing skills.
"no problem."
Haruhiko agreed without hesitation and asked, "What if I win?"
"I'm at your disposal."
Hoshino Hotaru typed another line.
Haruhiko was silent.
Is co-authoring all a waste of money?
Even if you don’t fish, aren’t you like this?
But on other terms, Haruhiko couldn't think of anything better.
Should he tell her not to pester him?
Well, I don’t want this. He actually quite likes this sister-in-law.
Haruhiko nodded and entered a serious state.
Even though he is a psyker, he doesn't bother cheating.
And the cheating is obvious.
Time passes slowly.
Haruhiko became more and more confused.
Because Hotaru Hoshino caught a lot of fish.
Instead, he only has two.
"How are you two doing?"
Hoshino Rin came over and her side was ready.
Hoshino Hotaru put down his fishing rod and looked at Haruhiko.
Although he didn't speak, he could already tell that he was proud and happy.
"I lost."
Haruhiko sighed and said.
Hoshino Hotaru nodded.
"Hotaro, that's amazing."
Hoshino Rin's eyes lit up, and he reached out and touched Hoshino Hotaru's head.
Because it was the first time she could feel the strong emotions shown by her sister.
I just didn't expect that she would like fishing so much.
Next time, if you have the chance, you can take her out more.
"Haruhiko-kun, you don't have to be disappointed."
Hoshino Rin chuckled and said, "Anyway, there is no penalty for losing. If you have a chance, you can win again."
"Um."
Haruhiko responded and said, "Let's go back."
"Walk!"
Hoshino Rin rolled up his sleeves and said, "Next, it depends on my performance."
She carried the bucket with the fish in her hands and headed to the camp.
Haruhiko and Hotaru Hoshino followed her.
In the camp, two tents have been set up.
Obviously one for Haruhiko and one for the two sisters.
In addition to this, there is a barbecue grill with a lot of things already placed on it.
After all, just catching a few fish is not enough.
And there is no point in just eating fish.
The warmth spreads around with the flames.
Because it's winter, it doesn't make people feel hot.
Hoshino Rin was busy all by himself, leaving Haruhiko and Hoshino Hotaru quite free.
They tried to help but were refused.
It was said that she was going to cook today, so she had to do it.
Fortunately, it was just a barbecue, so it wasn't too busy.
Haruhiko looked around, picked up the dishes, etc., and started cleaning them.
Once that's done, it's time to put it on the plate.
The rich aroma is constantly wafting.
"Okay!"
Hoshino Rin waved, and Haruhiko handed over the dinner plate.
The vegetables are the first to ripen.
Such as potatoes and cabbage.
After installing it, Haruhiko placed it on the dining table.
Then there are all kinds of fish.
Once everything is done, today’s lunch can officially begin.
"I'm starting!"
All three people clapped their hands and performed table manners.
"How about it?"
Hoshino Rin looked at the two people expectantly.
"good."
Haruhiko took a bite of the crispy and soft meat and praised it.
Hoshino Hotaru didn't speak, but nodded.
Hoshino Rin suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, very happy.
The meal ended in a somewhat quiet atmosphere.
"I am full!"
Haruhiko put down the wooden pick in his hand and said, "Let me wash the dishes."
"no."
Hoshino Rin rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are a guest, it is not your responsibility."
She was the first to take away the dishes and so on.
"Then let's wash together."
Haruhiko followed her and came to the river.
When Hoshino Rin saw this, he said nothing more.
In addition, there is Hoshino Hotaru.
She squatted next to Haruhiko, rolled up her sleeves, exposed her white wrists, picked up a dinner plate, and washed it.
Hoshino Rin glanced at it, feeling a little dazed.
The three of them now seemed a bit like a family that loved each other.
She quickly turned away and secretly wondered what she was thinking about.
"Hotaro, it will be cleaner if you use dish soap."
Hoshino Rin said and handed the dishwashing liquid to Haruhiko.
She is on the left, Hoshino Hotaru is on the right.
Haruhiko, who was in the middle, took it easily.
He looked at Hoshino Hotaru, and she looked back.
Their eyes met, but she didn't move at all.
Haruhiko felt helpless, so he squeezed out some dish soap and spread it on the plate in her hand.
Hoshino Hotaru held his hand and squeezed it twice before letting go.
Rao was so surprised that Haruhiko was shocked.
"Firefly, I'll put it here for you to use."
He said calmly.
He glared at her in passing.
But Hoshino Hotaru didn't care at all and was very proud of it.
Haruhiko turned his head and didn't look at her again.
It was only one o'clock in the afternoon when I finished washing the dishes.
It was far from bedtime, so I started fishing again.
This time Hoshino Rin also joined the battlefield.
However, in the end it was Hoshino Hotaru who won.
Haruhiko could only sigh that it was her good luck.
Night falls.
The three of them had dinner, and at Hoshino Rin's suggestion, they planned to take a bath in the river instead of running back to Izumo Shrine.
As for safety, don't worry, you can set up a barrier.
After all, he is a psyker, not an ordinary human being.
Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru washed together.
Haruhiko is waiting at the camp and watching over them.
When he had nothing to do, he meditated and practiced.
He didn't know how long it took before Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru appeared in front of him in pajamas.
Both of them wore shawls and white one-piece kimono-style pajamas.
At first glance, Haruhiko didn't recognize who was who.
Until Hoshino Rin said: "Haruhiko-kun, you should also take a shower."
Haruhiko nodded and left the camp.
He came to the place where he was fishing today, took off his clothes and submerged into the water.
It's a little cold, but that's okay.
To him, it was nothing.
After all, his Snow Girl Breathing Technique will soon reach the third level.
The river is still quite deep, more than two meters.
But the water in the river is clear, so bathing is absolutely no problem.
Haruhiko suddenly thought of the Hoshino sisters.
I don’t know where they wash it.
If it's in front of him, does this count as bath water?
At this moment, Haruhiko heard the sound of water entering.
He didn't set up a barrier, after all, he didn't believe any Hoshino sisters would peek.
But he realized that he had underestimated Hoshino Hotaru after all.
Under the moonlight, her white body looked like a mermaid swimming toward him in the river.
Haruhiko froze on the spot.
Soon, Nephrite fell into my arms.
Hoshino Hotaru raised her head and stared at him.
"Your sister will find out."
Haruhiko swallowed and said.
Hoshino Hotaru shook his head.
In her current state, she naturally didn't bring her mobile phone.
Haruhiko didn't understand what she meant.
In his confused eyes, Hoshino Hotaru helped him take a bath with a bath ball.
"..."
Haruhiko was speechless for a long time.
The only pity is that the bath ball she used is relatively small.
More time was wasted.
After washing for a few minutes, Haruhiko left the river and put on his clothes.
"Come up."
He took a breath and said.
Hoshino Hotaru slowly walked towards the shore.
Water drops slipped from her fair skin.
Her hair was wet and stuck to her smooth back.
Haruhiko glanced at it and then looked away.
The beauty is beautiful when she takes a bath, but she can't stand it.
Hoshino Hotaru changed into a miko uniform.
"Sit down and don't move."
Haruhiko took out a towel and helped her wash her hair.
If he goes back like this, Hoshino Rin will definitely be suspicious.
Hotaru Hoshino sat obediently on the small fishing bench, squinting her eyes slightly, her joy visible to the naked eye.
Although there is still not much expression on his face.
After a while, Haruhiko put away the towel and said, "Go back quickly."
Hoshino Hotaru calmly stood up, held his hand, and walked towards the camp.
The remnants of the campfire remain.
But the moonlight is very bright tonight, and you can see clearly in the wild.
There are not many stars.
"He's back."
Hoshino Rin didn't seem suspicious because the two of them were together.
This made Haruhiko curious.
What reason did Hoshino Hotaru use?
But forget it, too lazy to dig into it.
He had been frightened many times today, and it was time to take a good rest.
After talking to Hoshino Rin, he returned to his tent.
The bedding and sheets were already made and brand new.
Haruhiko couldn't help feeling that although Hoshino Rin was the eldest lady, she would really be a good wife and mother.
He got into bed but didn't sleep.
After all, with Hoshino Hotaru's character, she would definitely sneak in in the middle of the night.
In order to avoid losing important things when he fell asleep, he thought it was better to be awake.
Haruhiko took out his cell phone.
It was already ten o'clock.
I wonder if Tachibana Yui is sleeping?
He thought about sending a message to Tsuchimikado Mari.
"What's up?"
Almost instantly.
Haruhiko wonders if the great demon doesn't even need to sleep.
"Is Aunt Mashiro asleep?"
"Already fallen asleep."
Tsuchimikado Mari paused and asked, "Do you want me to secretly take photos for you?"
"Need not!"
Haruhiko's mouth twitched.
You are committing a crime, do you understand?
One day, you must be brought to justice!
"Then you miss me?"
Tsuchimikado Marri asked again.
"think."
Haruhiko typed directly.
Mainly because you have to answer like this regardless of whether you think about it or not.
"Is there any action on Utsunomiya Mina's side?"
Haruhiko quickly changed the subject.
I always feel like this is dangerous.
And he couldn't defeat the fifth-level demon, so he had to let her fight first.
"have."
Tsuchimikado Marri said, "I have been investigating the Tsuchimikado clan recently, and I have bribed many people."
"There is a traitor?"
Haruhiko suddenly looked surprised.
"normal."
Tsuchimikado Mahri typed calmly, "Man perishes for money, birds perish for food. Human beings have weaknesses after all."
"Does it have any impact?"
Haruhiko asked worriedly.
As for Tachibana Yui, he didn't want to see anything happen to her.
After all, in that case, there would be one less rich woman.
"On the contrary, it will strengthen Utsunomiya Mina's determination."
Haruhiko was slightly startled by Tsuchimikado Mahri's answer, but then he understood.
He even doubted whether these traitors were arranged by Tachibana Yui.
The reason is to make Utsunomiya Mina believe it.
The short chat ends.
Haruhiko sent another message to Yuki Ji.
Not long after, the phone vibrated.
It's an invitation to video chat.
Haruhiko answered.
What came into view was Xue Ji lying on the bed.
She rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue.
This is Haruhiko's favorite expression.
His throat began to roll.
"sleep tight!"
Haruhiko came back to his senses and said seriously.
"I can't sleep without you."
The corners of Xue Ji's mouth curled up, and she lifted the sheet again, revealing her graceful body, especially her two long legs overlapped together.
Haruhiko remembered the previous torture and became even more dizzy.
"Are you at Izumo Shrine?"
Xue Ji noticed his expression and was very satisfied, but soon became a little confused, "Why do you live in a tent?"
"Going out for a picnic with Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru."
Haruhiko explained casually.
"That's it."
Xue Ji chuckled lightly, moved her mouth as red as petals, and said teasingly, "I thought you were kicked out."
Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.
But after being interrupted like this, the feeling of surging blood gradually calmed down.
"Okay."
Xue Ji hummed and said, "If you don't watch it, you won't be able to sleep even more if you watch it again. Remember to come back early tomorrow."
"Um."
Haruhiko nodded.
The video call ends.
He was suddenly bored.
Hoshino Hotaru hasn't come yet.
Most likely waiting for her sister to fall asleep.
Haruhiko closed his eyes and simply started practicing.
Without Xue Ji, the speed of spiritual energy absorption has slowed down a lot.
It made him a little uncomfortable.
I don't know how long it took, but Haruhiko heard a rustling sound.
He opened his eyes and saw Hoshino Hotaru.
The white pajamas were worn on her body, covering her figure curves.
However, her youthful appearance and the looseness of her shawl still made her look quite girlish.
Hoshino Hotaru didn't say anything. She got into the bed and crawled next to him.
She sat up slightly and leaned forward.
A soft touch came.
Haruhiko hugged her subconsciously and responded to her initiative.
After a long time, the two people separated.
Hoshino Hotaru moved her body and leaned into his arms, squinting her eyes slightly and licking the corners of her mouth, feeling a little aftertaste and happy.
Haruhiko looked down at her and Hoshino Rin, who had the same appearance, and was speechless for a moment.
"firefly."
After waiting for a moment, he asked hesitantly, "Do you know the first restricted area?"
Haruhiko clearly felt the small body in his arms trembled.
Hoshino Hotaru stood up and turned to look at him.
"cell phone."
Haruhiko gave her his cell phone.
She came here in her pajamas and naturally didn't bring her mobile phone.
"Why do you ask that question?"
Hoshino Hotaru held the phone and asked after a moment of silence.
"My parents disappeared in the first restricted area."
Haruhiko thought about it and didn't hide it.
Mainly because of Hoshino Hotaru's character, he understands it and won't talk nonsense.
And the truth of this news is unknown.
Even if others knew about it, who would foolishly go to the first penalty area to seek death?
Hoshino Hotaru's body relaxed slightly.
Haruhiko's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough she knew something.
But not his parents, but twin inheritance.
"Are you sure about this news?"
Hoshino Hotaru tilted her head, "As far as I know, no high-level psyker has ever been to the first restricted area."
is fake?
Haruhiko frowned.
But is there any point in Utsunomiya Mina deceiving herself?
"Your mother has been there."
Haruhiko said hesitantly.
Hoshino Hotaru was stunned.
The phone slipped.
She reacted and picked it up in a panic.
"firefly."
Haruhiko held her hand and said.
Hoshino Hotaru looked at him, her eyes evasive.
But after a moment, she hugged him again.
Haruhiko stretched out his hand and gently stroked her head without saying a word.
"Do you know that my sister and I will go to the first restricted area in the future?"
Hoshino Hotaru raised her head, feeling much calmer than before.
To be honest, what she just performed was the first time Haruhiko had seen her.
With her character, things are definitely very troublesome.
"Um."
Haruhiko glanced at the phone screen and asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"
"It's the last step in the twin inheritance."
Hoshino Hotaru lowered her head again and stopped looking at him, "I can't say the specifics."
Haruhiko fell into thought.
Why does the last step go to the first restricted area?
Could it be that twin inheritance is some kind of forbidden technique?
Haruhiko remembered Utsunomiya Changgo's dragon raising ceremony before.
His forbidden technique can only be used in combination with strange demons.
Usually, this kind of forbidden technique can be called the forbidden technique among forbidden techniques.
"My mother will not take outsiders into the first restricted area."
Hoshino Hotaru typed again and said, "Even if your parents entered the first restricted area, they would only be on the outer level because the depths are monitored by Izumo Shrine."
"I see."
When Haruhiko saw this, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
If it's the outer layer, you don't have to wait until the fifth level, you can try it at the third level.
Of course, the premise is not to disturb the deep-seated strange demons, otherwise, it will definitely be cool.
"Go to sleep."
Haruhiko put away his phone and didn't ask any more questions.
He already got the answer he wanted.
As for the twin inheritance, Hoshino Hotaru didn't want to talk about it, and he couldn't force it.
Moreover, he could tell that she seemed to be in a bad mood because of this problem.
Haruhiko stretched out his hand and passed it through her neck, using it as a pillow for her.
Hoshino Hotaru moved her body closer to him, and then closed her eyes.
Soon, steady breathing came.
early morning.
Haruhiko woke up.
relatively early.
The reason is very simple, to let Hoshino Hotaru go back, otherwise, she will be noticed.
It will be impossible to explain clearly then.
"firefly."
Haruhiko pinched her cheek.
Hoshino Hotaru opened her eyes.
She sat up, still a little confused, but soon realized something and got into Haruhiko's arms again.
"Okay, okay, it's not like there's no next time."
Haruhiko patted her head gently, smelled the girl's fragrance, and said, "Go back quickly."
Hoshino Hotaru hugged him for a few minutes before letting go.
She stood up and left his tent.
Haruhiko changed into clothes.
Not long after, we had breakfast and came to school with Hoshino Rin.
"See you next time."
Haruhiko said hello and then transferred to the teaching building where today's class was held.
He took a look at the spell master's experience points, and there wasn't much left.
After class, he went straight to Tachibana Yui's house and started making charms.
By dusk, he was successfully promoted to the third level.
This means that he can make third-level spells, and his strength has been greatly improved.
Five thousand words.
