Tokyo Ghost Diary

Ignoring Yu Shimizu's obvious misunderstanding, Hoshino smiled to himself and said, "I remember that you seem to like that novel called "The Notes of a Spirit Detective" very much?"

Shimizu Yu didn't quite understand what Hoshino Gen wanted to express. He frowned and asked, "Is there any connection between the work you mentioned and this?"

Gen Hoshino did not answer Yu Shimizu's question, but asked: "Have you seen other works of this type?"

"Of course, I've seen all the slightly famous ones!" Yu Qingshui said with a proud face.

"for example?"

Speaking of this, Shimizu Yu became a little excited. She opened her mouth and said: ""The Phantom Story", "Onmyoji's Work", "Hyakukiji"..."

Every time she mentioned the name of a work, Hoshino Gen nodded. Finally, he interrupted Yu Shimizu, who had already mentioned a dozen works and still had the heart to continue, and said with a smile: "Then have you noticed that in these works? , but all the characters who regard ghost removal as a profitable job have one thing in common?”

"Um...all have special abilities?" Shimizu Yu blinked his beautiful big eyes and said tentatively.

Gen Hoshino shook his head and his smile became gentler: "No, they all have an assistant who is dedicated to doing some boring and boring but indispensable preparation work."

Shimizu Yu opened his eyes slightly and said in surprise: "You want me to be your assistant?"

The surprise is not because of displeasure, but because of surprise, just kidding! She dreams of having a deeper understanding and contact with those mysterious supernatural things. As for being an assistant and having to do boring preparation work, that's not a problem! After all, it is said to be boring, but that must be because this kid has long been used to it.

As the saying goes, a well-fed man doesn’t know what a hungry man is hungry for!

The things that the boy is used to must be super new and incredible things to him! And if you become this guy's assistant, doesn't it mean that you are indirectly participating in and solving some "supernatural" incidents?

Shimizu Yu's eyes were sparkling, and he suddenly felt that Hoshino Gen had become super pleasing to the eye.

Hoshino Gen smiled and asked: "What is your answer?"

"Of course I am willing! When will it start?" Qingshui Yu suppressed his excitement and asked impatiently.

"There's no rush." ​​Gen Hoshino thought for a while and said, "I'll print out a contract after school. I'll wait for you to sign it before taking up the job."

Yu Shimizu had no objection to this, but when she saw Gen Hoshino taking out an A4 paper from somewhere, lowering his head and writing something on it with the pen he carried, she couldn't help but ask: "You What are you writing?"

"Application for withdrawal from the club." Gen Hoshino said.

"Application to withdraw from the club?!" Shimizu Yu said in surprise: "Are you going to quit the kendo club? Didn't you just join last Friday?"

Gen Hoshino's pen tip paused: "I joined the Kendo Club originally to practice my swordsmanship and at the same time to carry a bamboo sword to the dojo in the woods after school. Now I don't need it anymore. Of course, the Homecoming Club is more suitable for me. ." As if he had thought about his words, after finishing speaking, he continued to write furiously.

"No, you joined the kendo club just to steal the school's bamboo sword?" Yu Shimizu opened his eyes wide, but he didn't expect that this guy was also a part-time thief!

"Don't be so mean." Gen Hoshino smiled and said, "My father's daily sponsorship to the school is enough to build several new gyms. What's wrong with me borrowing a few bamboo swords?"

"..." Qing Shuiyu was speechless.

"By the way." Gen Hoshino suddenly remembered something, turned to Yu Shimizu and said: "I remember that you are also a member of the Kendo Club. If you decide to be my assistant, you'd better quit the club as soon as possible, because after school It’s your work time.”

"Ah?" Qing Shui was stunned for a moment, but after comparing the proportions of "superpowers" and "kendo" in his mind, he still nodded reluctantly: "Oh."

......

"Eh!? Is it true? Is it that Rin-chan? Rin-chan from tky02 came to school?"

"Of course it's true! I even went to see it during the break just now!"

"How is it? Are you as beautiful as on TV?"

"She's much cuter than on TV! If Rin-chan can be my girlfriend, I'll be willing to take thirty years off my life immediately!"

"Hey - pull it, even if you commit suicide by jumping off a building right now, people won't even look at you~"

At noon, the school cafeteria is full of noise. Whenever there is the slightest disturbance on campus, you can definitely hear the news here. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a transfer station for campus information.

The biggest news at Segawa Private Academy today is naturally that today's super popular idol, Hoshino Rin, has come to school.

Although it's not like it started a craze, at least when Gen Hoshino was walking in the cafeteria, for every ten people he passed, at least five were talking about Rin Hoshino or tky02, so by extension, Gen Hoshino, the "idol's brother" "It also received several times more attention than usual.

Gen Hoshino does not have the habit of bringing a lunch box. Although in the past, girls from other classes would often come to talk to each other when eating in the cafeteria, share a table, and ask for their contact information, but they were basically persuaded by Gen Hoshino's masterful "death smile". After retreating, as time went by, he was naturally labeled as "strange", so basically no one bothered him.

But due to the incident of Hoshino Rin coming to school today, his long quiet lunch time instantly turned into a "Fan Q&A" column!

"Hoshino-san? Are you really Rin-chan's brother? Do you two usually live together?"

"Why didn't Rin-chan have lunch with you?"

"How is your brother-sister relationship? I also have a younger sister, but she ignores me after she reaches puberty. Is Rin-chan the same at home?"

A lot of inexplicable and private questions stopped him at the window selling food. Hoshino Gen, who was silent, turned around decisively, went to the vending machine to buy a piece of fried noodles and left the canteen.

In Japan, far more students bring lunch boxes than go to the cafeteria. During lunch break, the classroom is always accompanied by the aroma of food and a lively atmosphere.

Classmates who have been with him for almost a month have long known Hoshino Gen's character, so no one here will run up to him and ask questions, because everyone knows that asking questions will not reveal anything, and will only get an embarrassing answer. Smile.

Gen Hoshino was sitting in his seat, munching bread leisurely while looking out the window at the blue sky. In the classroom where everyone was sharing tables and hugging each other, he felt a bit "unparalleled and independent".

When this scene fell in Suzuki Zemi's eyes, it became——

"So lonely."

Suzuki Zemi picked up a meatball and threw it into her mouth, and complained to her good friend Shimizu Yu who was eating lunch together: "If you hadn't told me about him using you to block the mud, I almost thought that guy was a cold man. God."

At this time, Shimizu Yu was looking at Hoshino Genshun, and casually defended him: "Maybe he is too lazy to communicate with ordinary people."

"An ordinary person?" Suzuki Zemei asked curiously: "Isn't he?"

Yu Shimizu opened her mouth and almost nodded subconsciously, but fortunately her head was not completely overwhelmed by excitement and anticipation. Her low IQ came online in time, and she quickly yelled: "Look, I am the brother of an idol. , the family is so rich, and he is of mixed race... you can tell he is not from the same world as us."

"Why aren't we from the same world?" Suzuki Zemei puffed out her small chest in dissatisfaction: "Uncle Shimizu..."

Before she finished speaking, Suzuki Zemei's voice was interrupted by a knock on the door of the classroom.

Many students in the class were silent, and then they all looked in the direction of the classroom door.

The person knocking on the class door was a tall, beautiful girl wearing black stockings. There was a faint smile on her face, but she also showed an alienation that was alienating her from thousands of miles away.

"Excuse me, are Hoshino Gen and Shimizu Yu here?"
