Tokyo Ghost Diary

Yu Shimizu's contract was already dizzy before she even read a few lines. It was such a thick stack of A4 paper, with densely packed small print on each page, and she really didn't have the confidence to read it all.

Just when she forced herself painfully and read the words on the contract word by word, Hoshino Gen came back with Hoshino Rin. He sat down opposite Shimizu Yu with a silver cup and took out a needle from nowhere. Hold it with your left hand.

Under Yu Shimizu's confused gaze, Gen Hoshino smiled at her and said, "We can start now. Where do you want the tattoo to be?"

"Ah? Is this the beginning?" Shimizu Yu looked at the needle in Hoshino Gen's hand in surprise, and asked uncertainly: "Is this the only one we will use?"

Hoshino Gen smiled and said nothing.

Shimizu Yu twitched the corner of her mouth and retreated a little, but she was the kind of person who would never back down once she made a decision. Since she had already reached this point, she should grit her teeth and carry on to the end.

She took a breath, stretched out her right hand, and spread it on the table as if to feel her pulse. She pointed at her forearm, which was like a lotus root: "Just right here..."

Without saying a word, Hoshino Gen took her arm and started to administer the acupuncture.

"and many more!"

Hoshino Gen raised his face and looked at Yu Shimizu's pretty face full of nervousness in a strange way.

"Well, I'm afraid of pain, please be gentle..." Qing Shuiyu whispered.

Gen Hoshino lowered his head and pricked Yu Shimizu's arm with a needle.

"Oh!" Qing Shuiyu closed his eyes tightly and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain in his throat.

But Gen Hoshino had no intention of pitying her. The needle tip rose and fell on the fair and flawless skin at an extremely fast frequency, leaving light red traces wherever it passed like a painting.

Gradually, Shimizu Yu became numb to the pain. From the beginning, he screamed in pain with every injection, and now he is like this, his eyes are moving up and down as the needle tip rises and falls in Hoshino Gen's hand.

Rin Hoshino, who was watching on the side, lightly covered his mouth, with an expression of "I don't understand but I am greatly shocked".

More than ten minutes later, the inside of Shimizu Yu's forearm turned red, and the dense pinholes formed red line segments, drawing a talisman pattern full of mysterious symbols.

A little bit of red crystal overflowed from these lines, and Hoshino Gen took out his handkerchief to wipe away the blood stains.

"Is the knot... over?" Shimizu Yu's crying voice sounded. Gen Hoshino couldn't help but look up and found that the beautiful almond eyes were filled with tears, which hurt.

Hoshino Gen smiled and said in a gentle voice: "Almost, there is one last step."

After that, he took out a very small pocket brush from his treasure chest-like pocket. Hoshino Gen put the mini brush into the silver cup placed aside, stirred it gently, and when he took it out again, the original pure The tip of the flawless white brush is filled with intoxicating red.

Hoshino Rin couldn't help but stretched his head to look inside the silver cup, and was surprised to find that it was clean without a trace of red residue.

At this time, Gen Hoshino had lowered his arm and touched Yu Shimizu's skin with the tip of the brush. The landing point was the upper left corner of the talisman pattern.

Shimizu Yu felt a blazing heat on his skin, which was different from the burning pain where the needle tip had pierced the skin. This feeling was like the moment when you put your feet in hot water while taking a bath. It was so hot that you wanted to pull your feet back, but if If you grit your teeth and endure it, you will enjoy the comfort brought by taking a bath.

Shimizu Yu was like this now. The moment she was touched by the tip of the brush, she couldn't help but shrink her hand. If Hoshino Gen hadn't pressed her down, there would have been a red scratch on her arm from a mistake.

But with the rhythm of Hoshino Gen's wrist, the tip of the brush traveled along the talisman pattern on her forearm, and an extremely comfortable and warm feeling enveloped her whole body.

Until Gen Hoshino finished writing, Yu Shimizu still had some unfinished ideas.

But the next moment, she didn't care whether she was comfortable or not, because the moment Hoshino Gen's talisman was finished, a stream of steam escaped from her arm, and the golden-red talisman pattern shone brightly and shimmered. With mesmerizing colors.

The steam quickly dissipated in the air, and the magnificent light gradually dimmed. Eventually, even the pattern of the talisman disappeared.

Shimizu Yu's arm placed on the table was smooth and flawless, as if everything Hoshino Gen had done on it just now was a dream.

With his eyes wide open, Shimizu Yu couldn't help but touch the location of the talisman with his other hand. It was still smooth and delicate, and there was no graininess at all due to so many needles.

It's really magical, so magical that Yu Shimizu still can't believe it: "Just... it's done?"

Hoshino Gen didn't say anything. He spread out the clothes that were wrapped around the black demon sword and pulled out the blade. A crisp "clang" echoed around him. Hoshino Gen put the blade close to Shimizu Yu. The next moment, a brilliance appeared on her wrist. With a loud burst of light, the golden and red talismans that had just disappeared appeared instantly, and the black demonic sword suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably.

Hoshino Gen put the blade back into its sheath, and the talisman immediately disappeared again.

Shimizu Yu was convinced that the pain he had just endured was worth it, no, it was super worth it! Even if it hurts two or three times more, she can accept it! The scene just now, which was nothing short of a dream come true, really hit a certain point in her heart, and her whole little face became flushed with excitement.

"This! You...I...this..." Shimizu Yu pointed at his wrist incoherently, extremely excited!

Equally excited was Rin Hoshino, who was sitting next to Gen Hoshino, but she was not paying attention to the invisible and luminous tattoo on Yu Shimizu's wrist. She looked at her brother beside her with brilliant eyes.

Gen Hoshino smiled and said to Shimizu Yu: "Don't be so excited, you'd better pray that thing doesn't get activated again."

After saying that, his tone suddenly changed and he said with a smile: "Now that the contract has been signed and the preliminary preparations have been completed, Qingshui-san, it's time for you to get to work."

"No problem!" Shimizu Yu was in high spirits now, and he immediately agreed to the work instructions issued by boos: "What do you want me to do?"

Hoshino Gen snapped his fingers: "It's very simple."

"Didn't Mr. Fujiwara ask each of us to write a short English composition before school? You can write one for me, remember not to be the same as your own." After that, he also gave guidance: "You can write it in Mandarin first. , and then go online and use translation software to translate it into English and copy it down.”

After saying that, Gen Hoshino pulled the contract in front of Yu Shimizu, used a pen to write two English words in the blank space, and then pushed it to Yu Shimizu again: "This is my handwriting, imitate it a little bit."

"..."

Silence, stillness.

Shimizu Yu's expression froze on his face, and the corners of his lips twitched: "Ah?"
