Tokyo Ghost Diary

Hoshino Rin didn't know when he fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, the world outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room was already bright.

He sat up in a daze and looked around, but he didn't see his brother Hoshino Gen.

The living room was empty and quiet without any sound. For no reason, Hoshino Rin suddenly felt a little scared. She tightened the blanket and wrapped herself tightly, and tentatively called out: "Onii-chan?"

"In the kitchen."

came the response from the kitchen.

Hoshino Rin suddenly felt relieved. She put down the blanket, stepped on the cartoon shark slippers and ran to the kitchen. Then she saw Gen Hoshino in a white shirt standing in front of the induction cooker. The stove was on, with a pot on it. There seemed to be something cooking inside, and Hoshino Gen himself was holding a mobile phone in his left hand and tapping rapidly on the screen with his fingers.

"Are you cooking?" Hoshino Rin was a little surprised. She had no idea that Hoshino Gen had cooking skills.

"Well, I don't really want to go out today." Hoshino Gen replied casually.

Hoshino Rin glanced at his right hand that was hanging aside and wrapped in white gauze, and then a cute smile appeared on his face: "Your hand is still injured, let me do it instead."

"What are you cooking?" Hoshino Rin didn't seem to give Hoshino Gen a chance to refuse. He came to Hoshino Gen in a few steps and pushed his brother away from the induction cooker with a push of his butt.

Hoshino Gen followed the good example and decisively left the cooking area, while replying: "The broth is boiled in the pot."

"Broth? Has it been so greasy all morning?" Hoshino Rin wrinkled her little nose. This kind of breakfast was obviously not acceptable to her. She curiously reached out and opened the lid of the stew pot, and a large amount of hot steam came out. , and then Hoshino Rin saw the almost unsightly hodgepodge in the pot.

The boiling light red soup exudes a fishy smell, and a large amount of unappetizing foam adheres to the wall of the pot. Meat pieces of different sizes and odd shapes are vaguely visible, but what is more eye-catching are the boiled cabbage and tomatoes. vegetables like...

Hoshino Rin calmly turned off the induction cooker, um, and threw away the pot later.

Sitting at the table in the restaurant area outside, Gen Hoshino heard the sound of the induction cooker being turned off, and looked up a little strangely: "Is it already cooked?"

"Brother, have you never cooked before?"

"...Well, what's wrong?"

"What else is going on! If you eat what you cooked, you will definitely get sick! Onii-chan, please, don't go into the kitchen again, okay?"

Hoshino Gen, who probably realized something, lowered his head silently and continued typing on his phone with one hand. The private message he sent last night had received a reply, and he was now communicating with the other party.

Hoshino Rin pouted and muttered something like "Ignoring people again, so rude" and left the kitchen to wash up.

......

"Are you really willing to spend 10,000 yen on such a weird game?"

"Yes."

"Although I think you will regret it if you buy it, I won't refuse it if you can make money. However, I still want to make some things clear."

"Please say."

"This game is super weird. It's not just what I said in the post. After posting last night, I opened the game a few times and found another problem. When my favorability reaches 60 and something terrible happens, every time I restart Once I go to the computer, the more my favorability will drop when I re-enter the game. Chi-chan’s expression will become more and more indifferent. At the same time, it will be harder to raise my favorability. My favorability has dropped to ten now, and no matter how I interact with him, It hasn’t been updated yet, even if I uninstall the game and reinstall it, it’s still the same.”

"Now I think this game might be a virus written by a bored programmer. Do you really want to buy it?"

"Yes."

"Well, I hope you won't regret it..."

......

After paying 10,000 yen online, Gen Hoshino successfully obtained the game files of "redskirt".

At this time, Hoshino Rin also came back after washing up. She found her mother's apron in the kitchen and put it on. She turned around and asked Hoshino Gen in a soft voice: "Brother, what do you want to eat? Do you still want broth? Let's talk about it first. I actually don’t have much confidence in stew.”

"Then just do what you're good at."

"ok~"

Gen Hoshino checked the directory of game files and after making sure that these were really just some data files, he uploaded them to the computer in his bedroom. He planned to go back to the room after breakfast to see what the game was like.

The breakfast made by Hoshino Rin was quickly served, including fried eggs, bacon, ham, toast, fruit salad... and a cup of hot milk.

These are foods that do not require cooking skills, but are very suitable for breakfast. However, thinking about it, Hoshino Rin is not a girl who is particularly good at cooking. At most, she has learned a few skills for the sake of filming effects when she was on some programs. But at least the omelette on the plate still looked pretty decent.

These breakfasts are all prepared for Hoshino Gen. As for Hoshino Rin himself, he only has whole wheat bread, fruit salad, and a glass of skim milk.

Hoshino Gen took a look and didn't make any comments. It was one thing that he didn't like to interfere in other people's affairs, and it was also one thing that he had long been accustomed to Hoshino Rin's starving eating style.

Hoshino Rin held his cheeks with his hands and looked at Gen Hoshino who was quickly eating the food across the dining table with a smile: "How is it? How does it taste?"

Although the taste of these things has little to do with the cooking skills of the cooks, Gen Hoshino does not hesitate to praise the workers: "It's great, much better than the school cafeteria."

"Hehe~" Hoshino Rin felt a little proud and started to eat his breakfast.

Hoshino Rin cleaned up the mess after the meal because Hoshino Gen had an injury on his hand, although the so-called cleaning was just putting the dishes in the dishwasher.

Gen Hoshino originally wanted to go back to the room to install "Redskirt" immediately after dinner, but looking at Hoshino Rin's delicate back busy in the kitchen, he suddenly worried that the game would really be related to the supernatural. What if it was true? , so what if something happens and the innocent Rin Hoshino is affected?

Out of this consideration, Hoshino Gen asked in the direction of the kitchen: "Are you going out today?"

Hoshino Rin gently hummed a beautiful melody and ignored Hoshino Gen's question.

Just when Hoshino Gen thought the other party didn't hear clearly, Hoshino Rin suddenly said: "Onii-chan, who are you talking to? Is there anyone named 'you' in our family?"

Hoshino Gen was slightly speechless, then decisively changed his words: "Rin, are you going out today?"

"Hehe~" Hoshino Rin laughed happily, probably feeling smug about his superb method of "bringing people closer".

She pointed her finger at her chin and raised her little head to think: "It seems that there is no work today... Ah, by the way, there is a program to be recorded in the evening. I probably have to go out in the evening."

After saying that, she looked at Hoshino Yuan strangely: "Brother, why do you ask this?"

"It's okay, just ask." Hoshino Yuan got the answer he wanted, stood up and left the restaurant. Hoshino Rin blinked his strange eyes and stared at the back of Hoshino Yuan as he left, suddenly an idea flashed across his face.

In the past, Gen Hoshino never even talked to her, not to mention asking her if she could go out. If he is so abnormal today, there must be some purpose!

There are probably only two possible purposes for asking yourself whether you can go out. One is to ask her to help you complete something outside, such as helping her buy things and bring them back. The other is to ask her to go out so that she can only have the other person at home. The purpose of being alone at home.

Hoshino Rin thinks that the latter possibility is more likely. Let’s not talk about Hoshino Gen’s personality problem. Let’s just say that if it is really the former one, no matter what, he should attach an explanation after getting the exact time of his departure. Some turned around and left after asking.

So following this line of thought, Hoshino Rin quickly thought of Gen Hoshino spending 10,000 yen to buy a game from someone else last night.

Think about the way Hoshino Gen is holding his mobile phone and tapping the screen quickly with his thumb in the morning. It is obvious that he is typing. Typing with such high frequency on the mobile phone can only be done as a regular chat! But as far as Hoshino Rin knows, this brother doesn’t even use the line, so the most likely thing is that his brother contacted the poster and successfully purchased the game files!

Ask her when she goes out to play that game when she is alone at home!
