Tokyo Ghost Diary

Hoshino Rin took the ice cream handed by the young man with a slightly dazed expression. What the other person just said was like a steel cone, unexpectedly piercing the bubble in her mind.

On the one hand, I felt that what the other party said was ridiculous, but at the same time, I felt inexplicably panicked as if my thoughts had been seen through.

After paying the bill in a daze, he left the shop with his brother who had just leaned against the door from beginning to end without entering. It wasn't until a biting cold wind blew on his face that Hoshino Rin came back to his senses. Then the first thought that came to my mind was that the young man just now was talking nonsense. How could she like her brother?

Even if she likes her, it must be between relatives, just like she likes her mother and Liz very much.

Of course, she also knew about the theory of hereditary sexual attraction, and the situation between her and her brother seemed to be quite consistent with the environment where this phenomenon might occur. But the question was, she...she...how could it be possible?

This is ridiculous!

Another gust of cool wind hit him, and Hoshino Rin couldn't help but shiver. He finally woke up, pursed his lips, and then naturally handed the ice cream in his hand to Hoshino Gen.

Hoshino Gen welcomes all comers. Although the temperature in Zermatt is now close to zero, ordering ice in this environment has a unique flavor.

"Hmm...it's so cold." Hoshino Rin on the side stretched out his pink and tender tongue and licked the ice cream, then immediately shrank his little head and shuddered.

Gen Hoshino glanced at this silly little sister, and then took a bite of the cold dessert in his hand. The sweetness melted in his mouth, and the coolness spread throughout his body.

......

"Brother, my hands are so cold. Can I put my hands in your pockets?"

"My pockets are also cold. Don't they sell gloves in the store over there? Just buy a pair."

"Oh."

"Brother, the weather forecast says it's going to snow!"

"Then I hope it can predict accurately."

"Hey - it turns out that my brother likes snowy days."

"Brother! Look, the helicopter! It's flying towards the Alps! Do you want to ski? Brother, should we also go skiing tomorrow?"

"will not."

"Oh, I can teach my brother, it's very interesting!"

"Not interested in."

"Hey...brother, if you are so boring, be careful not to find a girlfriend in the future."

"hehe."

Along the way, Hoshino Rin kept chattering, and Hoshino Gen occasionally responded. The route he took was completely random, basically walking wherever he wanted, until the two of them came to a standing gray cathedral.

There were faint sounds of mourning music in the church, and people in black formal attire could be seen coming and going at the door.

"Someone is holding a funeral..." Hoshino Rin approached his brother and whispered.

Gen Hoshino ignored her, but stared straight at a middle-aged man with a pale face and a translucent body not far from the church door. He looked at the guests coming in and out of the church door with an inexplicable expression, and then seemed to sigh. Normally, slowly lower your head.

Noticing the strange behavior of her brother, Hoshino Rin couldn't help but follow Hoshino Yuan's line of sight, but she saw nothing, there was only an open space there.

She asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you looking at?"

Hoshino Gen ignored him because he didn't know whether his vision was too straightforward or because the perception of the soul body was generally much stronger than when he had a physical body. The translucent middle-aged man noticed him and talked to him. Watching, walking towards this side.

"hilfmir."

This is a very simple German sentence that even Hoshino Gen's intermediate level can understand. It means "Help me."

Gen Hoshino paused for a moment, but without saying anything, he slashed the middle-aged man in front of him with a knife. After all, the man was not a ghost, or even a remnant soul, but a soul that had lost its body and was wandering in the human world on the verge of collapse.

Even if you kill him, you won't gain anything.

After a while, Hoshino Gen replied in English: "Can you speak English? Chinese, Japanese, or Latin are also fine."

The middle-aged man's face showed a little confusion. Finally, he shook his head and choked out: "No."

He seemed to only understand the first half of Hoshino Gen's sentence, which was "canyouspeakenglish?"

It was very helpless. Everyone couldn't speak the same language. Although Gen Hoshino was indeed a little curious about what this spirit who would rather collapse than wander around the world want the only person who could see him here to help him, but even the other party couldn't help him. If you don't understand what is being said, it is all in vain.

Hoshino Gen understands this, and the middle-aged man who is a little more transparent than before also understands, with a little despair in his eyes.

But at this time, Hoshino Rin tugged on Hoshino Gen's sleeve again, his face full of doubts: "Brother, who are you talking to?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately reacted, her face immediately turned pale, and she said uncertainly: "Is there...a ghost here?"

Hoshino Gen glanced at his sister, thought for a moment, took out a talisman from his pocket and put it on Hoshino Rin's shoulder. The talisman quickly turned into two strings of crystal light and flew into her eyes.

Hoshino Rin only felt that her eyes were itchy and hot. She couldn't help closing her eyes and rubbing her flesh hard. When she opened them again, she was surprised to find that in front of her brother, in the empty space that should have been empty, there was actually Standing there was a middle-aged man whose body was translucent and who could be easily identified as a ghost.

Noticing new eyes falling on him, the middle-aged man turned around in surprise.

"Hmm!" Hoshino Rin was startled and almost subconsciously took a step back to hide behind her brother. She nervously grabbed Hoshino Gen's arm: "Brother...brother...ghost...ghost!"

Hoshino Gen rolled his eyes and said calmly: "It's just a spirit, there is no harm in it. Listen to what he wants to say, and then translate it for me."

After saying that, he gestured to Hoshino Rin behind him to the transparent middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man understood what he meant. After bowing deeply to Hoshino Gen, he said to Hoshino Rin in German: "Beautiful lady, help me."

Hoshino Rin, who was a little scared at first, couldn't help but become bolder when she saw that this "ghost" was so polite and her brother was still beside her. She opened her mouth and tentatively asked: "What help do you... need?"

"Thank you... thank God, thank you, beautiful lady." Hearing Hoshino Rin's words, the middle-aged man's soul was very excited. He waited for a long time and was exhausted. When his consciousness was hazy, he finally appeared. Someone who can still see him...well, and still understand what he's saying, and can communicate with him.

Hoshino Rin finally walked out from behind Hoshino Gen, but she was still close to her brother. She wanted to grab Hoshino Gen's hand again, hoping to bring herself more security. After all, it was necessary to talk to ghosts. Courage is still a bit overloaded for a sixteen-year-old girl.

I don’t know if it’s because his attention is focused on what the middle-aged spirit is going to say next, or because Hoshino Rin is helping him... In short, Hoshino Gen’s hand was not as timely to avoid as before, but Hoshino Rin was so casual. As soon as I grabbed it, I held it.

His brother's hand was a little cold, colder than his own, but at this moment, Hoshino Rin's heart seemed to be wrapped in a warm current, and even the ghost in front of him didn't look so scary.

Her slightly stiff face returned to normal, and she showed a super bright smile: "You're welcome, please tell me, what difficulties did you encounter?"

Hoshino Gen looked at his sister's little face that suddenly became dazzling, and twitched his tightly held hand. If he didn't pull it out, he just let it go.
