Tokyo Ghost Diary

"Brother, my things have been packed. Can we set off?"

In the early morning, Hoshino Rin, who rarely woke up early, was standing in the living room holding his white suitcase and holding the leash of the big dog Xiao Bai, asking loudly towards Hoshino Gen's room.

The door to the room was quickly opened, and Hoshino Gen, who was wearing black short-sleeves and black trousers and simply carrying a travel schoolbag, walked out. Instead, in front of Tamamo behind him, he was dragging someone who was much taller than her. The large suitcase looks a bit funny.

Hoshino Rin walked up to Tamamo with a smile, bent down and rubbed her little head, then took the lever of her suitcase: "I'll do this, Jiujiu-chan just help me carry this."

As she spoke, she took off the shell bag she was carrying and put it in Tamamo Mae's arms.

Taking the elevator downstairs, there was already a car waiting downstairs. The driver respectfully welcomed the three people and the dog into the car, then got into the driver's seat and drove steadily to Haneda Airport.

On the route from the airport entrance to the private jet boarding gate.

Hoshino Rin pulled his suitcase and led the big dog Xiaobai and walked behind Hoshino Gen. Hoshino Gen dragged Tamamo Mae's suitcase and walked in front, while Tamamo Mae simply sat in Hoshino holding her shell bag. The source pulled the suitcase.

Looking at Tamamo who was sitting on the suitcase and shaking her legs, Hoshino Rin suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but take two quick steps to reach his brother: "Brother, how should we explain Kujiu-chan to our mother when we get to London?" existence?"

Gen Hoshino still maintained his own rhythm and walked through the turbulent crowds of people at the airport in the early morning, ignoring the eyes that would stop here from time to time. He looked forward with a calm expression: "Do you think she won't know?"

Hoshino Rin blinked: "Huh?"

"We don't live a closed life. We have enough food, clothing, and even travel and work. At least half of the people we come into contact with every day can act as our eyes and ears. You really feel that there is suddenly an extra person in the family. Will mother not know about this?"

"..." Hoshino Rin was silent for a moment, but soon it dawned on her that her brother was right, but she still asked with some confusion: "Then why has mom never asked..."

"I asked, it's just that you don't know." Hoshino Gen glanced at her: "How could the mother not care about a little girl with a mysterious origin and a unique appearance. No matter how much I check, I can't find any social background."

Hoshino Rin opened a pair of moist eyes: "Well, mom already knows..."

Hoshino Gen interrupted her: "Jiujiu's current social identity is that she is the orphan of her mother's friend and her goddaughter."

Hoshino Rin, who has lived in London since he was a child, knows the meaning of goddaughter. Of course, in a simple and easy-to-understand way, it is——

On the religious level, godmothers and godmothers have obligations similar to those of biological mothers and daughters. Once a woman becomes the godmother of a child, she will also become the second mother of that child as recognized by society.

Hoshino Rin was a little shocked, and his brain was still in a trance, so he followed his brother on the plane in confusion.

It wasn't until the plane took off that she asked Gen Hoshino, who was already playing with his cell phone with his head down, "Doesn't that mean that Jiujiu-chan is actually our sister in the true sense?"

......

Halton Street, London, UK.

"Sir, this price is already my bottom line. I believe you can see with your eyes that nine hundred and seventy-seven pounds is a very fair price."

Wearing a black suit, the brown-haired and blue-eyed agent spoke authentic London accent and was selling the rental house next to him to Yamada Nagahito.

"Yes, sir, I understand." Yamada Nagahito's English level is pretty good, and there is no embarrassing situation where his fluent "Japanese English" makes even British people confused.

There is no problem with communication, but the price of rent is very problematic. Of course, this does not mean how sinister the agent is or how serious the premium is, but...

Yamada Nagahito turned around and came to his father, Yamada Terushi, and whispered in Japanese: "Dad, let's find another house. The monthly rent is 180,000 yen... it's too expensive."

When he said these words, Yamada Nagahito felt indescribably sad in his heart. It was difficult for him to tell his father about the monthly rent of 180,000 yen, but he clearly remembered the meal at noon that day. It’s also 180,000 yen…

"One hundred and eighty thousand yen a month, more than two million yen a year..." Terushi Yamada, who was unshaven and looked a little decadent, muttered to himself, and then he turned to look at the building next to him that was smaller than the one he was in. Homes in Tokyo are much older and dilapidated.

Finally, he sighed helplessly and shook his head: "Dad doesn't have a stable job now. You should go back to school and live in the student dormitory. Dad can just find a house to deal with by himself for a while."

Looking at the gloomy look on his son's face, Yamada Terushi took a long breath, forced a smile and comforted him: "It's okay, after the house in Tokyo is sold, and with the deposit, we will buy one directly in London. Come on, dad should have found a job by then, and when everything gets on track, life will get better."

"..."

......

The plane took off at 7 a.m. Tokyo time and arrived in London after 11 hours of sailing. If calculated according to Tokyo time, it should be 6 p.m., but due to the time difference between London and Tokyo...

It was still nine o'clock in the morning in London when the sun was shining brightly.

Hoshino Gen, who got off the plane, was holding a suitcase in one hand and Tamamo Mae in the other. Hoshino Rin was also holding a suitcase on his left hand, while his right hand was holding the leash of the big dog Xiaobai.

As soon as the group passed through the VIP passage, they saw Tilina walking quickly with her arms open and a smile on her face.

"Mom!" Hoshino Rin shouted excitedly, put down his suitcase and rushed over to hug his mother, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month.

"Oh, my dear, I miss you so much -" Tilina also hugged her daughter tightly, placed her palms on her delicate back and gently comforted her, and finally kissed her daughter gently on her forehead. Then let go.

Tilina walked up to Hoshino Gen. Faced with her son who looked calm and indifferent, Tilina was speechless. After a while, she almost choked and said: "Welcome to mom's hometown, your other home." A home, Xiaoyuan.”

"Really, this scene is what I have wanted to see in my dreams for the past ten years. Xiaoyuan, my child, my dear, you are finally here -"

She gently opened her hands and wanted to hug Hoshino Gen. However, thinking of her son's reaction after he was hugged by her in Tokyo two months ago, she hesitated and did not dare to hug him.

Hoshino Gen didn't express anything about this. He just nodded and said calmly: "I am also looking forward to traveling to London."

"..." Tilina opened her mouth and said nothing to Yuan Hoshino. Instead, she lowered her head and looked at the little white-haired girl hiding behind Yuan Hoshino, timidly holding her son's legs and looking up at her curiously. .

Tirina knelt down and showed a bright smile that was completely different from the hesitant expression she had when facing Hoshino Gen. She reached out and rubbed Tamamo Mae's little head: "Such a cute little girl, you must be Xiao Jiujiu, right?" ?I am Tirina, Yuan and Rin’s mother, and also your godmother. You can call me godmother, or you can call me Tirina.”
