I didn't see anyone except Hotaru Hoshino.
This confirmed Haruhiko's previous guess.
She came secretly without telling Hoshino Rin.
When Hoshino Hotaru saw Haruhiko, he immediately trotted forward.
The clogs made a thumping sound on the ground.
She threw herself directly into Haruhiko's arms, then raised her head and came forward.
A soft touch came.
There is still a faint aroma.
Haruhiko reached out his hand and rubbed her head gently.
Today she has a typical miko with long black hair and straight hair.
The fingers run through the hair, very softly.
Hoshino Hotaru squinted her eyes like a kitten.
After a few minutes, he and Haruhiko ended their lip-talking exchange.
But she didn't let him go, her head was gently rubbed in his arms, and her cold little face showed a hint of enjoyment.
Haruhiko felt her attachment, and when he was about to speak, his cell phone rang.
He stopped touching his head and took out his mobile phone. It was Hoshino Rin's number.
Haruhiko showed the phone screen to Hoshino Hotaru, then tapped her soft lips with his finger to signal her not to make any sound.
"Haruhiko-kun, good morning."
Hoshino Rin's energetic voice came out.
Haruhiko had planned to take a plane to Izumo Shrine.
Therefore, I got up earlier.
Hoshino Hotaru also went very early in order to meet Haruhiko in advance.
It was just eight o'clock.
"Good morning, Miss Rin."
Haruhiko responded with a smile.
Hoshino Hotaru rested her chin on his chest, raised her head and stared at him.
Because she was so close, she could hear the conversation between the two people.
"You are coming to Izumo Shrine today to pray for the New Year. Do you need me to pick you up?"
Hoshino Rin explained, "You can use the teleportation array to come here."
"Need not."
Haruhiko was startled.
Now that Hoshino Rin comes over, it will evolve into a sister Shura field.
He didn't dare to try, not knowing what the result would be.
"What's wrong?"
Hoshino Rin asked in confusion, "Is there anything else, Haruhiko-kun?"
"Indeed."
Haruhiko said in a hurry, "I'm going to get something."
Hoshino Rin was slightly startled when he heard this.
But she was smart enough to react quickly.
Today is her birthday, so getting something, obviously preparing birthday gifts is more likely.
"Well."
A smile appeared on Hoshino Rin's lips and he said, "Call me when you get there."
"Yeah, I will."
Haruhiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We should be there in another hour. It won't waste too much time."
The chat ends.
He put away his phone and looked down at Hoshino Hotaru.
She still didn't have much expression.
After noticing the look in Haruhiko's eyes, she stood on tiptoes again and began her oral attack.
It wasn't until her feet were a little tired that they separated.
Haruhiko took a breath.
A blush appeared on Hoshino Hotaru's little face, which was really cute.
He couldn't help but pinch her soft cheek.
"Standing outside for so long, let's go inside."
Haruhiko saw that Hoshino Hotaru had no intention of letting go, so he spoke.
"Carry me."
Hoshino Hotaru raised her bare feet and said, "It's uncomfortable to stand on tiptoe for too long."
Haruhiko glanced subconsciously.
Exquisite and fair.
But this reason is obviously made up.
As a psyker, it's not that easy to feel uncomfortable.
Haruhiko didn't expose it, he turned around and squatted down slightly.
The next second, a light and soft body pressed against his back.
He held Hoshino Hotaru with both hands, entered the courtyard, and stopped in front of the door.
Hoshino Hotaru took out the key and opened the door.
Standing at the entrance, there were two bangs.
The clogs fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Haruhiko knew that Hoshino Hotaru still didn't want to come down, so he said nothing more.
He closed the door and walked into the living room.
Standing in front of the sofa, Haruhiko turned her over, held her in his arms, and then sat down.
"my present."
Hoshino Hotaru was now lying in a princess hug position. She looked up at him and stretched out her hand.
"for you."
Haruhiko took out the Kagura Bell and said, "The bamboo leaf was given the life of Tenden Girl before, so I made the Kagura Bell."
"Thanks."
Hoshino Hotaru was a little surprised.
What she didn't expect was the fourth level spiritual tool.
Although the fourth level is not particularly precious to big forces, it cannot be obtained by ordinary forces or psykers.
"What's my sister's gift?"
After Hoshino Hotaru accepted the Kagura bell, she suddenly asked again.
Haruhiko was slightly startled.
But he told her anyway.
The main thing is that there is nothing to hide.
"You are indeed greedy."
Hoshino Hotaru's soft lips moved silently.
There was a faint sheen on her lips because of the two previous exchanges.
"greedy?"
Haruhiko was a little stunned and didn't understand what this meant.
Shouldn't we praise him for being generous?
"Sending the same thing shows that you and I don't want to miss it."
Hoshino Hotaru stared at him and said.
"..."
Haruhiko was stunned.
In all conscience, he really didn't have this idea.
Because they both had the same birthday and were sisters, they gave them the same gift.
If they are different, they will always be compared, and it is very likely that both people will be offended.
But now he realized that he had thought less and was not comprehensive enough.
Hoshino Hotaru, who is in love, naturally hopes that she is special.
After thinking for a moment, Haruhiko touched the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm sorry."
"no need to say sorry."
Hoshino Hotaru shook his head and said, "I was the one who shouldn't have appeared in the first place."
"firefly."
Haruhiko frowned and poked her forehead, "Don't say such things."
"I wouldn't mind sharing it with my sister."
Hoshino Hotaru looked at his serious look and said, "And my sister doesn't mind either."
"what are you saying?"
Haruhiko coughed twice.
Hoshino Hotaru doesn't mind, he can roughly understand.
But how could Rin Hoshino be possible?
He only thought that Hotaru Hoshino was talking nonsense.
"I will not lie to you."
Hoshino Hotaru tilted her head and said, "You can try it."
Die if you try?
Haruhiko twitched the corner of his mouth.
He still didn't believe it.
No matter how good the relationship between sisters is, can it get to this point?
"Why don't you mind?"
Haruhiko suddenly wanted to hear her reasons in person.
"..."
Hoshino Hotaru was silent.
Haruhiko raised his eyebrows.
The previous doubts came to mind again.
Why does the last step of twin inheritance have to go to the first restricted area at the age of twenty-five?
Back then, only the former of Hoshino Aoi and Hoshino Ri came back. Is the latter dead or alive?
If it was death, was it an accident or inevitable?
Haruhiko suddenly felt shocked.
If death is inevitable, there is an explanation for Hoshino Hotaru and Hoshino Rin's behavior.
But this was the last thing he wanted to see.
"firefly."
Haruhiko gently stroked her face.
Hoshino Hotaru came back to her senses, put her hands around his neck, and blocked his mouth.
There was another verbal spat.
Haruhiko smiled helplessly.
He didn't seem to feel comfortable asking further.
"I'll tell you tonight."
Hoshino Hotaru took a deep breath and said as if she mustered up great courage.
Haruhiko was stunned.
He didn't expect to get the answer at first, but suddenly things took a turn for the worse.
Although I don’t know the specific reason, it is undoubtedly a good thing.
Even for the worst guess, Haruhiko can prepare in advance.
As long as it reaches the fifth level as soon as possible, it can naturally be stopped.
Hoshino Hotaru just turned nineteen today, five years away from turning twenty-five.
With the help of game plug-ins, five years is enough for him to reach the fifth level, maybe even higher.
At the sixth level, it would be quite easy to handle this matter.
"Night? It seems I have to stay at your house."
Haruhiko looked at Hoshino Hotaru, who was a little worried, and asked, "Are you willing?"
"willing."
Hoshino Hotaru answered without hesitation.
"Then how about we don't let your sister know?"
Haruhiko suddenly had an idea and asked.
Although I'm sorry for Rin Hoshino, in this situation, we need to deal with Hotaru Hoshino first.
He said this because she had been unhappy with the same gift earlier.
Now keeping Hoshino Rin secret means that she is special.
Hoshino Hotaru's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hugged Haruhiko tightly again.
She bit his ear, but finally couldn't help it and moved it to his face.
A few minutes later, Haruhiko looked at her blushing and couldn't help but smile.
Hotaru Hoshino is actually quite interesting.
She obviously behaves like a succubus, but she's also very good at it.
Blame it on her being human.
It's completely different from Tsuchimikado Mari or Yukihime.
Haruhiko looks forward to the future.
The two of them didn't communicate anymore, just hugged each other and rested.
When it was almost nine o'clock, Haruhiko put Hoshino Hotaru down.
"It's time, let's go to Izumo Shrine."
He pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "If we delay further, your sister will definitely call again to urge me."
Although Hoshino Hotaru is reluctant to part with him, he is not an unreasonable person.
She nodded, walked barefoot to the entrance, and put on wooden clogs.
Haruhiko didn't take off his shoes before carrying her on his back.
The two people came to the teleportation array in the room upstairs.
A burst of psychic energy flashed through.
They appeared 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 will definitely be discovered by the people of Izumo Shrine, and then noticed by Hoshino Rin.
Standing in front of the main hall of Izumo Shrine, Haruhiko took out his mobile phone and sent a message.
Not long after, Hoshino Rin appeared.
She is wearing a miko costume today.
The moment he saw her, Haruhiko really thought it was Hoshino Hotaru who couldn't help but leave again.
After all, with her character, it is indeed very possible.
While Haruhiko hesitated, Hoshino Rin smiled.
He also understood that this was not Hotaru Hoshino.
At this moment, Haruhiko was still a little lucky.
If two people had this kind of extroverted personality, they would have gotten confused by now.
"Happy birthday, Rin."
Haruhiko took the initiative to greet him, took out the Kagura Bell, and said, "I hope you don't dislike it."
"Thanks."
Hoshino Rin took the Kagura Bell and was a little surprised.
This is the fourth level spiritual tool.
With her current strength, she will undoubtedly come in handy.
For Haruhiko, taking out the fourth level is precious enough.
But Hoshino Rin did not refuse.
Just wait for his birthday in the future and change it to a better spiritual tool.
"Haruhiko-kun, please come in."
Hoshino Rin put away the Kagura bell and said with a smile.
Haruhiko nodded and followed her into the back hall.
Hoshino Hotaru stood quietly at the door.
The two sisters wore the same miko uniforms, so Haruhiko couldn't tell them apart.
"firefly."
Hoshino Rin waved and said, "We have guests here, so we can't be so rude."
Hoshino Hotaru stepped forward and opened her mouth silently.
Haruhiko was stunned.
But to prevent Hoshino Rin from discovering the problem, he just pretended to be confused.
"firefly!"
Two red clouds appeared on Hoshino Rin's face.
Because Hoshino Hotaru just called Haruhiko brother-in-law.
This is undoubtedly her bad taste.
Haruhiko secretly thought that he should educate her well at night.
The most embarrassed or shy one is Hoshino Rin.
Although she likes Haruhiko and has a crush on him, she doesn't make it clear.
The only thing Rin Hoshino was lucky about was that his sister was lip-reading.
Haruhiko couldn't understand.
Otherwise, she would definitely have to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"My sister says hello."
Hoshino Rin pretended to be calm and said.
"Hotaro, happy birthday."
Haruhiko smiled and said.
He noticed the change in Hoshino Rin's expression, but it was not the right time to ask questions.
The best thing to do is to act as if nothing happened.
"Thanks."
Hoshino Hotaru pointed to the living room and said, "Brother-in-law, come in, I will make tea for you."
"She said go in and have tea."
Hoshino Rin turned his head and glanced sideways at Hoshino Hotaru.
She didn't expect that her sister would suddenly make such a joke today.
It's just... I don't know what to say.
In fact, she was a little happy.
After all, his sister recognized Haruhiko.
Hoshino Hotaru didn't pay attention to Hoshino Rin's eyes.
She nodded, turned around and entered the living room, heading to the kitchen.
"Is there no one else on your birthday today?"
Haruhiko asked, sitting on the sofa.
The two have known each other for many years and have celebrated several birthdays.
But every time it was particularly deserted, as if birthdays were just a normal day.
"Um."
Hoshino Rin explained, "Mother said there is nothing worth celebrating on birthdays."
A doubt suddenly flashed through Haruhiko's mind.
As we all know, there are no men at Izumo Shrine.
So who is the father of Rin Hoshino and Hotaru Hoshino?
Haruhiko thought their father died unexpectedly before, so he didn't mention it.
But now that he has become a psychic, he has met Tsuchimikado Mari and others, and has a deeper understanding of Izumo Shrine.
I'm afraid the idea of an accidental death is incorrect.
It’s just that he couldn’t ask Hoshino Rin directly.
Maybe you can ask Hoshino Hotaru at night.
"Let me do it."
Hoshino Rin saw Hoshino Hotaru coming out with a tea tray and stood up quickly.
"Need not."
Hoshino Hotaru shook his head and said.
She put down the tea tray, took out the teapot, and poured three cups of black tea.
"Thanks."
Hoshino Rin was a little relieved.
My sister is a lot more sensible today.
Hoshino Hotaru picked up another cup of black tea and handed it to Haruhiko.
"Thanks."
Haruhiko stretched out his hand and was suddenly stunned when he took the black tea.
While the two of them were alternating, Hoshino Hotaru hooked his hand.
He glanced at Hoshino Rin subconsciously.
She was drinking tea and did not notice Hoshino Hotaru's excessive behavior.
Haruhiko can only be glad that Hoshino Rin is not a fifth-level person like Tsuchimikado Mari or Tachibana Yui.
He picked up the black tea and took a sip.
tasty.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
It's Hoshino Aoi.
She was wearing a miko costume and had no expression on her face.
"Aunt Kwai."
Haruhiko stood up and said hello.
"Eat later."
Hoshino Aoi nodded and said.
Although she has a cold attitude, she does all the cooking at home.
And his cooking skills are good.
Especially on birthdays, it is especially rich.
After she left, the three continued chatting.
To be more precise, Haruhiko and Hoshino Rin chatted, while Hoshino Hotaru listened.
