Tokyo Ghost Diary

The blue sky is covered with a sea of ​​white clouds, and pink cherry blossoms fill the streets and alleys like snow. Tokyo in April is like a gorgeous watercolor painting, which makes people feel a little brighter just by taking a glance.

But Yu Qingshui, who has lived here since she was a child, has long been tired of seeing such scenery, and her mood at the moment is very gloomy.

On the way to school, Shimizu Yu sighed like a wilting cabbage. His request for an advance pocket money from his mother at home was rejected, and only the last few coins left in his piggy wallet jingled. .

This left her who was recently addicted to "The Detective Diary" without even having the money to buy the latest issue of the novel.

Of course, she didn't mean to blame her mother, she just complained about why she didn't have the control to spend money before...

Fortunately, Yusei Shimizu was optimistic by nature. After feeling sorry for himself for a while, he immediately cheered up and started thinking about solutions to the problem.

Generally speaking, there are only a few ways for high school students to get money. In addition to pocket money, there are scholarships and part-time jobs. Scholarship options were first excluded by Yu Shimizu. She still has self-knowledge, although she has the ability to play ninety She has a five-point appearance and a very good swordsmanship level of over ninety points, but these cannot change the fact that she is actually a scumbag.

So in fact, there is only one option before Shimizu Yu.

Bai Shengsheng clenched his little fist, and Qing Shuiyu raised his head passionately, with a firm light shining in his beautiful almond eyes, he decided! I won’t join any clubs this semester. I’ll go work after school!

The determination was made just now, but the wavering started in the next second, because at the moment when he raised his head, a familiar thing appeared in Yu Shimizu's field of vision.

It was a book, and the vaguely seen cover was familiar. An idea flashed in Yu Qingshui's mind, ah... isn't that "Spirit Detective's Notes"! Shimizu Yu quickly turned his attention to the person who was walking and reading with the book in hand.

The other person was wearing the uniform of the same school as him. He had a very tall figure. From the side and back, you could see a little bit of his face. His skin was fair and his outline was beautiful. Yu Shimizu's name immediately came to mind.

Hoshino Gen, my classmate!

Although the school had just started, Yu Shimizu had a very deep impression on this boy in his class. It had nothing to do with this guy's behavior. After all, this guy usually sat quietly reading alone in the class. He was so quiet. Shimizu Yu didn't even hear this guy speak!

Even though many girls took the initiative to talk to him because of his mixed-English-Japanese appearance, which was really a bit offensive, he just stared at them and smiled until he stared them away. He was a rather strange and low-key person.

But such a person has an incredible twin sister - the popular idol who has never appeared in the school except for the entrance ceremony, but has always been the center of the school's talk, Hoshino Rin.

Yes, this guy has a very cute idol sister! It’s so jealous that you go crazy with it!

But that's not what's important! But this guy actually also reads "Spirit Detective Notes", is he actually a fellow reader? ! In this case, as a classmate, can I borrow his books for free as long as I build a good relationship with him? Then, without the hard work of a part-time job, you can continue to join the kendo club with your good friend Suzuki Zemi, and compete in national competitions during the summer vacation just like you did in junior high school...

Thinking of this, Yu Shimizu's eyes became bright. She ran two steps and shouted loudly to the front: "Hoshino-san!"

The young man in front of him paused, turned around slightly, and fully revealed the delicate and beautiful face like a doll in front of Yu Shimizu's eyes, especially the left eye that was like a clear sapphire inlaid in the eye socket, as if it covered the blue sky at this moment. Comparison continued.

Oh, this guy, like his idol sister, has very rare eyes. Qingshui Yu felt a little sad because she wanted to have such handsome eyes.

Facing the gaze of the pair of strange eyes, Shimizu Yu cheered up and jogged to Hoshino Gen's side with great energy. He said enthusiastically: "Hoshino-san, it turns out you also followed this path when you were in school. I never saw it before. I’ve been here before!”

The young man looked at her with a smile and had no intention of speaking.

Qingshui Yu felt a little sweat in his heart. Come on, this expression, which the girls in the class call a "death smile", makes the person facing him extremely embarrassed and just wants to stay away quickly - but! In order to read books without having to work part-time, I will definitely let you talk today!

Taking a gentle breath and suppressing the urge to dig her toes into the ground, Yu Shimizu walked side by side with Gen Hoshino. At the same time, his smile became more enthusiastic and familiar: "Do you also live in a nearby town?"

The boy still just smiled, but he had already closed the book in his hand. At this moment, Shimizu Yuu could see clearly that what this guy was holding was the latest issue of "Spirit Detective Notes" that she had been thinking about!

The expression on his face immediately turned into unnatural surprise. Shimizu Yu suppressed his excitement and said: "Ah! So you are reading this book too. I also like it very much! Hey - have you seen the latest issue? ? I just finished reading the last issue. I wonder if the mother-in-law in the Taisho era waited for her husband..."

Before Shimizu Yu finished speaking, Hoshino Gen's eyebrows suddenly jumped, and then he jumped to the side of Shimizu Yuri who was side by side. He lowered himself while holding her shoulders with both hands, and with a little force, he turned her back to him to expand the protective surface. Among the flints, a car sped past, and a large brown speck of mud flew out of the sewage puddle left over from last night's heavy rain, covering Qing Shuiyu's body and face.

Shimizu Yu's expression became confused, and she turned stiffly to look at the spotless Gen Hoshino behind her.

Gen Hoshino calmly handed the "Spirit Detective Notes" to Yu Shimizu's hands with both hands, and said solemnly: "Thank you."

After saying that, Hoshino Gen had already gotten into the taxi parked not far away in three steps. Then in a few blinks, the people and the car disappeared from Shimizu Yu's dazed and confused vision.

......

Shimizu Yu was almost going crazy, not just because Hoshino Gen used her to cover herself with sewage and mud, but also because she was late as expected after she went home to clean up and change clothes! As punishment, she ran several laps around the school's 800-meter playground and almost died of exhaustion at the end!

During the first period of class, Yu Shimizu didn't even read the latest issue of "Spirit Detective Notes" that she was obsessed with. She just sat in her seat and stared fiercely at some unscrupulous bastard in the front row by the window.

That kid pretends to be cool every day in school, but in fact he is just a bastard who can even do things like messing with beautiful girls!

"Xiaoyou, why are you here so late today... Huh? What's wrong with you? Why do you look so fierce?"

The voice of his good friend Suzuki Zemi rang in Shimizu Yu's ears. Shimizu Yu turned his gaze and saw a plump and good-looking girl standing in front of him with a curious look on his face.

When asked by a good friend, Shimizu Yu's expression suddenly fell. He didn't want to let her know about his embarrassment. Seeing this, Suzuki Zemei turned his eyes and followed Shimizu Yu's line of sight. In an instant, , a thoughtful look appeared on her pretty face: "Were you bullied by him?"

Shimizu Yu pouted, indicating that he didn't want to speak.

However, Suzuki Zemei became excited as if she was afraid that the world would be in chaos: "What's going on? Tell me quickly." After saying that, he lowered his voice and whispered: "If the crime is really heinous, I just have it. I’ll find a way to take revenge on you!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Shimizu, who didn't want to say anything at all, hesitated even more. She frowned and whispered: "It's not a big deal. Let's forget about revenge..."

"Oh, let's not retaliate. Let's teach you a lesson. You can't just endure it and be a little turtle after being wronged, right?" Suzuki Zemei didn't want to let it go. It's one thing to fight for a good friend, but you can correct it. That handsome gourd is also quite interesting!

Yu Shimizu couldn't stand being called a little turtle by her best friend. She opened her mouth, and finally sighed, telling Gen Hoshino that she was used to block mud and sewage on the way to school today, and even the things that made her late. Again.

After hearing this, Suzuki Zemei slammed the table and said indignantly: "This is too much! Is this still a man?!"

She looked upright and was willing to help her friends. Of course, it would probably be more believable if her eyes weren't so bright and the corners of her mouth weren't raised so high.

The movement attracted the attention of many students in the class, but Suzuki Zemei didn't pay attention. She waved her hand, patted Yu Shimizu on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, this lady has avenged your revenge for you!"

"..." Qing Shuiyu looked at her sideways.
