Tokyo Ghost Diary

At around three o'clock in the morning, the only restaurants still open on the street were probably 24-hour fast food restaurants and some izakayas.

In order to make it easier to talk things over, Hoshino Gen and Kiryu Ruoha avoided the izakaya beloved by the social beasts and found a larger Matsuya with independent private rooms.

Gen Hoshino was really hungry, so he ordered a plate of wagyu rice rudely. Compared to him who didn't care about anything, Kiryu Ruoha, who was careful about his figure and skin condition, only ordered a vegetable juice.

Hoshino Gen was immersed in eating rice, and Kiryu Ruoha was sitting opposite him, sipping vegetable juice, and said: "Senior, you must have heard about what happened in Kyoto, right?"

"Chiyokoji is critically ill?" Hoshino Gen swallowed the meat and rice in his mouth without raising his eyes.

"Yes, senior, you haven't had much contact with the other world before, so you may not know what it means if Chiyomiyaji really dies, but let's not mention this for now. What I want to say to senior is... no, It should be said that the special task force wants to entrust you to go to Kyoto to rescue Asaba-senpai."

Hoshino Gen raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Rescue?"

Kiryu Ruoye nodded cautiously: "Yes, Senior Asaba lost contact this morning. Before he lost contact, he left a message asking us to tell you not to approach Kenmi Shrine within three days."

"Tell me? How did he know that I would definitely go at that time?" Hoshino Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Maybe Asaha-senpai guessed that after he lost contact, the special task force will definitely entrust you and Takasugi-senpai to rescue him." Kiryu Ruoha said.

"Takasugi? Has he set off?" Gen Hoshino asked curiously.

"No, Takasugi-senpai plans to leave in three days." Kiryu Ruoye said.

"..."

After finishing talking about the business, the seriousness and seriousness on Kiryu Ruoye's face instantly disappeared, and he showed a sweet smile again: "Okay, these are the things that everyone in the special task force wants me to tell the seniors."

Hoshino Gen said nothing, lowered his head and continued eating.

However, Kiryu Ruoha did not calm down. She seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "Ah, by the way, when we were in that park last time, the senior seemed to have said that it was because he owed money to Senior Sasaki's family. Favor, that’s why we can’t break off the engagement...Can I know what kind of favor the senior owes?"

"Life-saving grace." Hoshino Gen said casually.

"Well...that's it." Kiryu Ruoye nodded his head thoughtfully after hearing this, then took a few more sips of vegetable juice, and then tentatively asked again: "Then, senior, have you got anything? Have you ever thought about repaying this kindness in a way other than marrying Sasaki-senpai in the future?"

Hoshino Gen finished the last bit of meat and rice on the plate, then raised his head and looked at Kiryu Ruoye, with a calm expression on his face: "Do you really think that empty feelings can be bought back with money?"

"...Eh?" Kiryu Ruoye was stunned for a moment, then blinked: "What?"

"It's nothing." Gen Hoshino took out a napkin and wiped the corners of his lips: "The marriage with the Sasaki family was originally for profit. If the favors owed are really repaid, then in order to obtain greater benefits, it would be better to terminate the engagement. It’s nothing, of course, provided the other party is also willing.”

After saying that, he threw the tissue into the trash can nearby, got up and left without looking back.

Looking at Gen Hoshino's back disappearing outside the box, Kiryu Ruoha pursed her lips and clenched her hands slightly.

She didn't know whether money could buy the relationship she wanted, but relationships could be cultivated, so it was enough if she could "buy" what she wanted.

......

When Gen Hoshino returned home, he was surprised to find that Rin Hoshino was still playing games in the living room. Judging from her condition, she didn't seem to be in a good condition. She looked groggy and was trying hard not to fall asleep.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Hoshino Yuan's voice reached Hoshino Rin's ears, and she who was drowsy a second ago suddenly woke up. She turned her gaze to her brother, then pursed her lips and stared at Hoshino Yuan angrily: "Brother, eat Does a midnight snack take so long?"

"..." Hoshino Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Indeed, when he went out, it was not yet two o'clock, and now it is already four o'clock in the morning. In a while, it will be dawn.

But having said that, he is used to being free and unrestrained, and now he is being questioned by his sister with this expression...? He really has a different feeling.

But he didn't explain anything. Faced with Hoshino Rin's resentful gaze, he looked away, chose to ignore it, and then walked straight to his room, preparing to wash up and sleep.

But Hoshino Rin didn't want to do it anymore. She dropped the game controller and stopped in front of Hoshino Gen. She put her little face in front of Hoshino Gen. Her nose twitched slightly. She smelled her brother carefully and didn't smell the girl's. The smell, on the contrary, smells like risotto?

She blinked. Did her brother really just go out for a late-night snack?

Of course, based on her understanding of Hoshino Gen, she actually knew that her brother was not that casual, and his ability to resist temptation was also very strong.

But her worries are not unreasonable. After all, no matter how cold her brother is, he is still a sixteen-year-old boy who is in puberty. He goes out for supper alone with a girl in the middle of the night - besides, Kiryu-san is so cute and beautiful. It’s really hard not to think about something.

But, fortunately, my brother is still the same brother. It seems that nothing happened. Hoshino Rin's expression softened, and he raised his face with a flattering smile and looked at Hoshino Gen's expressionless face: "Brother, you smell so good~ "

Gen Hoshino rolled his eyes, raised his hand and flicked the unfortunate sister's soft face, then walked around her and returned to the room.

......

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and several carriages on the Shinkansen train from Tokyo to Kyoto were filled with noise and excitement.

These carriages were naturally chartered by Segawa Private Academy to transport first-year high school students on their study trip to Kyoto.

The carriage where Class A of the first grade of high school is located is at the front. Compared with other carriages, the atmosphere here is slightly quieter.

The reason is because on the left side of the window, Hoshino Gen is leaning on the backrest and sleeping soundly, and next to him, Hoshino Rin is leaning on his brother's shoulder, with the same peaceful sleeping look.

Apparently, the siblings are paying the price for staying up late last night...

Click!

Suddenly, the sound of a mobile phone taking pictures rang out in the car. It might be an occupational disease of being an idol. Hoshino Rin, who was particularly sensitive to the sound of taking pictures, was suddenly awakened. She opened her eyes and saw a person in the front seat. The girl held up her cell phone to herself and her brother. When the other party saw that she was awake, the expression on their face was quite embarrassing and embarrassing.

"You... took a photo?" Hoshino Rin blinked and asked.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I just saw that the scene just now was... eye-catching, I'll delete it now!"

"No!" Hoshino Rin quickly stopped the girl, moved her little head away from her brother's shoulders, and stared at the girl with bright eyes: "You don't need to delete it, but as a reward, you have to send me the photo you just took. share."
