Tokyo Ghost Diary

I don't know how many times I replayed the scene of Hoshino Gen's battle with the faceless swordsman in the gym in my mind. Yu Shimizu's expression was both excited and uncomfortable. To put it simply, it was like seeing what he had been looking forward to for a long time. The concept product was finally mass-produced and put on the shelves, but the price was far beyond my budget.

Or - "What does this expression mean? Are you constipated?" Suzuki Zemei looked weird.

"You're the one with constipation!" Shimizu Yu glanced at his friend angrily, then weakly lowered his head: "I'm fine, I just feel a bit...bored."

"Boring?" Suzuki Zemei looked at her best friend in disbelief: "Does being with me actually make you feel bored?" After saying that, she looked like she was about to cry: "You are a person who plays with emotions. Scum, let’s break up!”

Shimizu Yu looked at his best friend who was playing tricks with fishy eyes, but out of the corner of his eye, he was caught by a group of people running towards the gymnasium holding umbrellas.

She pulled Suzuki Zemi's sleeve and curiously pointed to the stadium building in the distance that was crowded with people: "There are so many people over there. Is there any important game today?"

Suzuki Sawami naturally put away her weeping expression, glanced in the direction Shimizu Yu pointed and said casually: "You don't know? Today tky02 is holding a concert at the Shinjuku National Stadium."

"tky02?" Shimizu Yu thought for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Isn't that the idol group that Hoshino Rin is in?"

"Yeah, the sister of Gen Hoshino in our class is super popular." Suzuki Sawami said with an envious look on her face: "Except for the first day of school, I've never seen her in school. It's great to be an idol. You can do whatever you want with her." Any class is fine.”

"..." Shimizu Yu glanced at Suzuki Zemei speechlessly, and then couldn't help but wonder, did the idol know that her brother had "super powers"...

"Okay, let's go. Do you still want to go to her concert now? The tickets must have been sold out long ago!" Suzuki Sawami took Yu Shimizu's hand and walked towards a more prosperous neighborhood.

......

In the evening, the rain stopped, and the dark clouds that covered the sky were cut into pieces of white rags hanging on the horizon.

The sunset after the rain is always particularly moving, and the reddish-purple sprinkles on the horizon give the entire city a layer of ambiguous drunkenness.

Yu Shimizu ran into a remote alley chasing a black stray cat holding a hair tie in its mouth, because the hair tie was a new product she just bought today! Although I used the change my mother gave me to buy clothes, it was really not cheap!

The stray cat broke open the door of a shop in the alley and got in. Yu Qingshui ran to the door of the shop without thinking.

She was just about to open the door and rush in, but was overwhelmed by the exquisite classicism of the door. However, she had seen too many high-end places. Although she was surprised why someone would open a store here and have such a beautiful door, she still That didn't stop her from rushing in and asking that scoundrel badass cat for her headband back!

The door was pushed open, and a crisp sound of wind chimes sounded.

The scene behind the door came into view. Shimizu Yu's half-raised leg froze in the air, and his entire expression froze.

In the living room with a medieval classic atmosphere, a boy with slightly longer black hair squatted on the fluffy carpet, holding some cat food in one hand and passing it to the mouth of the black stray cat.

The sunset in the evening flows on his body through the window, and the picture is as beautiful as a healing oil painting.

The person in the painting seems to be disturbed by the movement of the door, and casts his gaze towards the "uninvited guest" outside the door. The blue left eye is as clear as the sea, and the dark right eye is as deep as the abyss.

Yu Shimizu came to his senses with a start: "Hoshino-san?!"

After shouting this, Yu Shimizu stepped back and looked at the small vertical sign on the door frame. After confirming that it was an antique store, he looked at Gen Hoshino again with his disbelieving eyes: "You... Are you here to buy antiques?”

"No, this store is mine." Gen Hoshino tilted his head and looked at Yu Shimizu with curious eyes. However, he reacted quickly and immediately thought of something. He lowered his head and picked up the coin that was thrown by the black cat. On the side, the hair tie has become dirty: "This...is yours?"

"Ah!!" Shimizu Yu yelled and was about to rush in, but Hoshino Gen raised his hand to stop him: "Please change your shoes first. There are disposable ones in the cabinet on your right."

Shimizu Yu looked at the dusty floor in the room, as well as the large and fluffy carpets, and then looked at the shoes on her feet that were inevitably stained by running on the ground that had just rained. She immediately shook them off without a word. He wore his own sneakers and put on disposable slippers through his white socks.

He came to Hoshino Gen and took the hair tie that was brand new a few minutes ago, with a sad look on his face.

"How much is the hair tie? I'll pay it to you." Hoshino Yuan suddenly said.

"Ah?" Shimizu Yu was stunned, then shook his head: "No, I'll just go back and wash myself."

After saying that, she looked down at the black cat that was eating the cat food in Hoshino Gen's hand, and asked uncertainly: "Do you raise this cat?"

"No." Hoshino Yuan thought about it and said, "I only met him two months ago. At that time, I saw that he was very hungry, so I gave him some food. After that, he would often come to me with some things in his mouth. In exchange for food, sometimes it is some garbage that it thinks is good stuff, sometimes it is some other people's lost items..."

"A very smart guy, isn't he?" Gen Hoshino smiled at Yu Shimizu.

Shimizu Yu was indeed a little surprised by the wisdom of this stray cat, and it actually understood many things that humans didn't understand. However, thinking back on it, he just accidentally used too much force when unpacking the hair tie, and accidentally dropped the hair tie on the ground. , but this guy came over, picked it up and ran away. This was no longer just picking up things to exchange for food, this was robbery!

Qing Shuiyu's pretty face darkened slightly, and she pouted but said nothing.

The small handful of cat food was quickly eaten. The black cat barked at Hoshino Gen twice, then licked its paws, turned around and left, looking very cool.

Watching the little guy disappear outside the door, Gen Hoshino looked at Yu Shimizu again, smiled and asked: "Is there anything else, Shimizu-san?"

Maybe she felt that it was impolite to talk to others while she was standing and Gen Hoshino was squatting, so Yu Shimizu sat down cross-legged on the carpet. She scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly: "Well, your super power... …”

"Sorry, I don't have any superpowers." Gen Hoshino got up and went behind the bar: "Coffee or juice?"

"Ah... no need." Shimizu Yu waved his hands repeatedly, but Hoshino Genquan pretended not to hear and poured a glass of juice and handed it to Shimizu Yu.

Reluctantly taking the juice, Yu Shimizu said again without giving up: "That faceless swordsman in the gym yesterday..."

"Is it a ghost?" She whispered her guess.

"..." Hoshino Gen stared at her face silently. After a while, he sighed and said, "Why do you have to get to the bottom of it? Or are you dissatisfied with your past life? Why do you have to get to the bottom of it?" What about the dangerous variables?”

"I'm just curious! This kind of thing that I always thought was only in novels and anime suddenly appears in reality, everyone can't help but figure it out!" Shimizu Yu muttered in retort.
