After a while, Haruhiko hugged Hoshino Hotaru's little face and gently pushed it out.
There was a little doubt in her beautiful and affectionate eyes.
"Your sister will find out."
Haruhiko wiped the corners of her mouth twice and said.
Hoshino Hotaru stared at him, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly, but said nothing.
She stood up and left Haruhiko's arms.
The next second, Hoshino Rin walked out of the kitchen with a tea tray.
Haruhiko secretly said that fortunately I had expected it.
Otherwise, you will be trapped in the Shura field.
"firefly."
Hoshino Rin was a little surprised when he noticed his sister.
She didn't expect she would show up so early.
But she didn't think much about it.
She just assumed that Hoshino Hotaru heard the noise and came out to see her.
Just when she went to the kitchen, she could only sit face to face with Haruhiko and wait.
Hoshino Rin put down the tea tray and poured three cups of black tea.
"Thanks."
Haruhiko took it and took a sip.
He felt that the black tea brewed by the two sisters had the same taste.
Maybe it’s because they use the same black tea.
"Haruhiko-kun, do you want to stay and rest tonight?"
Hoshino Rin pretended to be calm and said, "Izumo Shrine has many guest rooms, so there is no need to rush."
After hearing this, Hoshino Hotaru also raised her head and looked at him.
"I'll go back after dinner."
Haruhiko glanced at Hoshino Hotaru out of the corner of his eye and said, "The teleportation array is here, so it won't be a problem."
He had promised before, so now he could only refuse.
Hoshino Rin was a little disappointed, but okay.
Anyway, even if Haruhiko spends the night here, nothing will happen to the two of them.
"Well."
Hoshino Rin nodded and said, "I'll see you off after dinner."
"Sorry, Rin."
Haruhiko explained seriously again, "The main reason is that I plan to get up early tomorrow to pay New Year greetings. I will come to Izumo Shrine next time."
"It doesn't matter."
Hoshino Rin was startled for a moment, then shifted his gaze and looked at the teacup in his hand.
Being stared at by those sincere eyes made her feel a little flustered.
"Maybe not next time."
Haruhiko noticed her reaction and couldn't help but smile, "We will meet at the Takamagahara ruins soon."
"Too."
Hoshino Rin breathed a sigh of relief, trying to stay calm, and said, "Izumo Shrine has begun searching for the ruins. Once it is confirmed, I will ask my mother if I can let Haruhiko-kun participate."
etc.
Is this idea a bit outrageous?
Haruhiko didn't believe that Hoshino Aoi would let him participate.
After all, it is a relic unique to Izumo Shrine.
He is an outsider after all.
Haruhiko’s previous idea was to participate in the cooperation between Izumo Shrine and the Edo Archaeological Bureau.
the reason is simple.
The newly formed exploration team can only develop the ruins on the fourth and fifth floors.
This kind of ruins is full of dangers, and many times it cannot be dealt with by one power alone.
The best way is to cooperate.
The partners for cooperation can be to find other forces.
However, the sixteen forces all cooperate on the surface but actually compete.
At this time, the Edo Archaeological Bureau becomes the best choice.
The ruins are rich in experience and there is no competition.
But when Hoshino Rin said this, Haruhiko naturally wouldn't expose it.
The three of them were watching TV and chatting. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Hoshino Aoi opened the door and entered.
A shrine is actually just like a company.
Priests and witches come to get off work on time.
Make money, a lot.
Just like a monk.
On the contrary, the swordsman and onmyoji are destined to be even busier.
In order to maintain the family, one has to find ways to make money.
Shrines and temples just sit and wait for money to come to their doors.
Especially the rich among ordinary humans are often willing to pay a high price in order to pray for blessings.
Dinner was no longer red beans and rice, it was back to normal.
After all, we already had lunch.
Because Hoshino Aoi was there, the meal seemed quite quiet.
After it was over, Haruhiko proposed to leave.
Hoshino Aoi just nodded and said nothing.
It felt as if Haruhiko was an insignificant person.
No matter what she does, she doesn't care.
But those who know her will understand how special Haruhiko is at Izumo Shrine.
No man has ever been able to stay here for a long time before.
Not to mention the close relationship with both heirs of Izumo Shrine.
"Haruhiko-kun, see you another day."
Hoshino Rin waved his hand.
Haruhiko, who was standing in the middle of the teleportation array, responded with a smile.
Only Hoshino Hotaru looked at him coldly.
As the teleportation array was activated, Haruhiko disappeared.
"Firefly, let's go back."
Hoshino Rin calmed down and touched his sister's head.
Hoshino Hotaru glanced at her and turned to leave.
"Sometimes I quite envy you."
Hoshino Rin couldn't help but smile, "This character really doesn't care about anything."
She returned to the living room and found that Hoshino Hotaru was gone.
Based on her understanding of her sister, she must be practicing again.
Hoshino Rin didn't pay attention and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.
When Haruhiko opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in Tokyo.
But it's still in Hoshino Rin's small bungalow.
He waited for a moment and saw the teleportation array flashing with light, and Hoshino Hotaru appeared.
Haruhiko smiled and stepped forward.
Hoshino Hotaru activated the teleportation array again, and the two of them returned to the apse of Izumo Shrine.
She took Haruhiko and left quickly.
Hoshino Rin was taking a shower and didn't notice Hoshino Hotaru's behavior at all.
Mainly because she would not have guessed that something so outrageous would happen, so she had no sense of precaution.
Hoshino Aoi looked up.
The fluctuations of the teleportation array may be insignificant to other people.
But she was a fifth-level psyker, and it was as obvious to her as a light bulb.
Besides, this is Izumo Shrine.
If you can't detect even this little movement, then you won't be too far away from destruction.
Hoshino Aoi quickly lowered her head.
She ignored Haruhiko's departure and return.
The two people arrived at Hoshino Hotaru's room.
This is actually Haruhiko’s first time visiting.
The last time he rested he stayed in the guest room.
Hoshino Hotaru's room is quite normal.
Nothing too pink, no dolls or anything like that.
Haruhiko remembered Hoshino Rin’s previous comments.
She said that her sister was a cultivator and had no other hobbies.
There was a clicking sound.
Haruhiko turned around subconsciously and saw Hoshino Hotaru locking the door.
He was stunned, what kind of operation is this?
Are you afraid that he will run away?
Haruhiko couldn't help but smile.
He glanced at the alarm clock on the table. It was only half past seven.
It's definitely too early to go to bed.
"firefly."
Haruhiko sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Let's talk about your affairs."
Hoshino Hotaru looked startled.
The anticipation and joy in my heart were temporarily suppressed.
She hesitated for a moment and nodded.
It’s also time to confess.
"What do you want to know."
Hoshino Hotaru looked at him, her lips moving silently.
Haruhiko touched his chin.
There were quite a lot of things he wanted to know.
"Why do you treat me like this?"
Haruhiko asked after thinking for a moment.
"I like you."
Hoshino Hotaru said seriously, "This is true, there is no reason."
Haruhiko felt warm in his heart.
He stretched out his hand, pinched Hoshino Hotaru's cheek, and pressed it against the corner of her mouth.
"I like you too."
Haruhiko said softly, "But you should know that's not what I asked."
"We may not be together after twenty-five."
Hoshino Hotaru closed her eyes, not daring to look at him anymore.
Haruhiko was shocked.
What does it mean not to be together?
And he happens to be twenty-five years old.
Could it be that something would really happen if their sisters went to the first restricted area?
"What's the specific reason?"
Haruhiko subconsciously held her hand.
"I won't die, but after I turn twenty-five, I will always stay in the first penalty area."
Hoshino Hotaru shook her head and said calmly, "If you can reach the fifth level, we will meet again."
Haruhiko narrowed his eyes.
He realized he had misunderstood.
I thought Hoshino Hotaru would die, but I didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to leave.
why?
The restricted area refers to the area where fifth-level strange demons exist.
Is it a guard?
But that's not right.
Other restricted areas do not need to be guarded.
Because there is a large magic circle or barrier outside that the Imperial Palace spent a huge amount of money to build.
Under normal circumstances, strange demons cannot escape.
Haruhiko thought and subconsciously looked at Hoshino Hotaru.
"The reason, I can't tell you."
Hoshino Hotaru opened her eyes again and said, "I was restrained by my mother."
"Restricted?"
Haruhiko suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is it because of the restriction that you can't speak?"
Hoshino Hotaru nodded, but after a moment, he shook his head again.
"What does it mean?"
Haruhiko asked doubtfully.
"I have no idea."
Hoshino Hotaru tilted her head and said, "Besides the ban, there seems to be another reason, but I can't remember it."
Haruhiko frowned.
The fruit behind Izumo Shrine is indeed very deep.
In order not to reveal the reason, he actually placed a restraint on his daughter, causing her to be unable to speak.
Although there is lip reading and sign language, it is still too cruel.
"Then Rin was also banned?"
Haruhiko sensed the problem.
"No."
Hoshino Hotaru still had a cold expression, "She doesn't know many things. My mother only told me."
Haruhiko was stunned.
Does that mean Hoshino Hotaru will bear everything?
There are two heirs to Izumo Shrine, one bright and one dark.
Although Hoshino Hotaru was in the dark, it was too cruel.
"I'll help you."
Haruhiko pulled her into his arms, held her in his arms, and said seriously.
As long as you reach the fifth level before the age of twenty-five, you have the power to intervene.
What's more, behind him are Tachibana Yui, Jinguji Fuyu and others.
No matter how powerful Izumo Shrine is, there is only one fifth level person.
Hoshino Hotaru raised her head slightly and looked at him.
There were stars twinkling in her eyes.
Haruhiko was about to ask, but she blocked his mouth.
He couldn't speak.
The next moment, his eyes widened.
His clothes lost their purpose at this moment and turned into flying snow.
Haruhiko didn't expect that Hoshino Hotaru would be so moved.
Soon, her eyes filled with tears, and the crystal pearls slid down her delicate little face.
No matter how cold the appearance is, at this time, it is also full of enthusiasm.
Haruhiko patted her fair and smooth back gently.
Hoshino Hotaru hugged him tightly.
After a long time, she moved her lips and said, "I'm fine."
Haruhiko felt relieved now, and he looked at Hoshino Hotaru silently.
She straightened up, her hair was scattered, and there were tears on her face, but she was soon covered in blush.
Haruhiko smiled and said, "It's so cute."
Hoshino Hotaru didn't answer, she seemed like a crazy cat.
It's a pity that he is human after all. After half an hour, he lost his strength and regained his composure.
Haruhiko hugged her soft body and didn't do anything else.
Although it was rare for him to show off his power today, he didn't have the same punishing mood as when he treated Utsunomiya Minami before.
He was actually surprised, not expecting Hoshino Hotaru's behavior at all.
But when I think about it, I won’t be able to see each other after I turn twenty-five.
Haruhiko can understand again.
But he won't allow such a thing to happen.
"Happy birthday."
Haruhiko stretched out his hand and pushed aside her hair that was stuck together with sweat, revealing her beautiful but tired face.
He lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead, then closed his eyes.
a new day.
Haruhiko woke up.
He felt a little sore in his head.
What caught my eye was Hotaru Hoshino.
Haruhiko was stunned.
I didn't expect to encounter such a situation this morning.
It's just that she and Tsuchimikado Mari are different, they are only communicating through lip language.
Haruhiko thought about it and understood the reason.
Hoshino Hotaru is a human being who is unwell and does not recover so quickly.
She could obviously do nothing.
Haruhiko reached out his hand and gently stroked her head.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door.
He was so frightened that his body trembled.
This is really scary.
He was now in Hotaru Hoshino's room, and the two of them were naked.
If Rin Hoshino or Aoi Hoshino walked in, he would be dead.
Hoshino Hotaru got out of bed, put on her clothes, wiped the corners of her mouth again, and walked to the door.
She opened a gap.
"Hotaro, good morning."
Hoshino Rin smiled, then suddenly frowned and asked, "Why does your face look a little bad?"
"No."
Hoshino Hotaru shook his head and said with a cold expression.
"go to eat."
Hoshino Rin looked at her.
His face looked a little paler than usual, but it wasn't too obvious.
Maybe I didn't sleep well last night.
Hoshino Rin didn’t ask again.
"You go first, I'll clean up and come back."
Hoshino Hotaru said calmly.
Hoshino Rin nodded.
At this time, Hoshino Hotaru's usual personality and facial paralysis played a huge role.
I can't see anything strange at all.
After Hoshino Rin left, Hoshino Hotaru closed the door.
Haruhiko has already put on new clothes.
"Are you leaving?"
There was a trace of reluctance on Hoshino Hotaru's face.
"Um."
Haruhiko stretched out his hand, pinched her cheek, and said, "I will come to see you often."
Now the relationship between the two has taken another step forward and has reached the same level as Yukihime and Tsuchimikado Marri.
Of course he should be more concerned.
Hoshino Hotaru nodded when he heard this.
She put away the bedding, held his hand again, and let him leave Izumo Shrine through the teleportation array.
Haruhiko returned to Nanyuan.
It's already eight o'clock.
But he hasn't eaten yet, and instead consumes a lot of energy.
It's just that he forgot one more thing.
"You smell all over you."
Xue Ji sniffed and rolled her eyes at him, "And it's a new woman."
Haruhiko ran so fast that he didn't have time to take a shower.
Being caught by Xue Ji at this time, she immediately felt guilty.
The most important thing is that she added the sentence after that, she is a new woman.
Before, she was Tsuchimikado Mari, but now she is Hoshino Hotaru.
Nature is the new smell.
"To take a bath."
Xue Ji showed a kind smile, "By the way, let me check your body."
No!
Haruhiko's face turned stiff.
Are you checking inventory?
But he couldn't refuse Xue Ji at all, so he could only follow her to the bathroom obediently.
