Tokyo Ghost Diary

"Miss, the snow is too heavy, please go inside as soon as possible."

Hoshino Rin came to his senses only after being reminded by the gatekeeper of the manor. In fact, it is not accurate to say that it was the gatekeeper. The other person was not very old. He was in his prime in his thirties. He was wearing a suit and had a strong figure. Ting Li followed them from Japan and was only temporarily responsible for the security of the manor.

Hoshino Rin smiled politely at the other party, and then quickly ran into the manor.

After the brother and sister disappeared from sight, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and made a call.

So on the other side of the ocean, in a luxury hotel in downtown New York, Hoshino Sosuke said this playfully while lying in the bathtub while drinking wine and answering the phone.

"Oh? That's what that kid thinks. He's very aware..."

......

The dinner in the manor was very sumptuous. In Nuoda's restaurant, all kinds of delicacies were filled up on the luxurious dining table. The dining table was so large that it could seat twenty people without any pressure. However, there were only Two chairs were placed.

There is no doubt that in this manor, except for Hoshino Gen and Hoshino Rin, no one else is qualified to serve.

Hoshino Gen ate very quickly and didn't care about the environment. After filling his stomach, he went back to his room alone.

The rooms in the manor are large and luxurious, with crystal chandeliers, marble floors, exaggeratedly large floor-to-ceiling windows, and equally large solid wood beds. From the wine cabinets filled with all kinds of unlabeled red wine, you can tell at a glance that they are temporary. The game consoles and super-large game TVs that were shipped here are all available, large and small.

The luggage I brought was just some clothes.

After going to the bathroom and taking a hot bath, he put on a thin shirt and trousers. Gen Hoshino lay on the bed and turned on the TV and game console.

It's not that he has nothing to do. After all, he has been consuming quite a lot of talismans recently, at least 10% of his inventory. It would be good to draw some talismans and replenish his talisman library while he is free now, but looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows, the world is covered with snow, and he feels The heating in the room was dim.

In such an environment and with such equipment, it would be a pity not to play games.

Moreover, Gen Hoshino really likes playing games. It is one of the few entertainment projects that he responds to with great enthusiasm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have refused every time Rin Hoshino asked him to play games with him.

Although I don’t know who arranged for this game console to be placed in the room where he is staying, I have to say that it is really considerate. Many popular games on the market are installed and can be clicked and played.

Gen Hoshino found a popular game on the market that could be played by two people on the same screen. He took out his phone and opened [redskirt]. Qian-chan understood what he meant without him having to say anything.

A wisp of noise flew from the phone to the TV screen, and then a game character inside jumped twice to signal that he was ready.

I don’t know whether it’s because Chi-chan often played live games during her lifetime, or because she can directly control the game character in her avatar. All in all, no matter how difficult it is or what kind of tacit understanding is required, Chi-chan can always keep up with Gen Hoshino. The operation is as smooth as water and the whole game process is completed in one go.

Playing it for the first time, a game that usually takes more than ten hours to complete was completed in more than two hours by one person and one ghost.

Putting down the controller, Gen Hoshino stretched out and picked up the phone. In the [redskirt] interface, Qian-chan was back, with a bright smile on her pretty face. Even the column showing the mood value in the interface kept saying Refreshing the "up" and "up" symbols.

Gen Hoshino smiled and looked at the time. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, but the sky with snowflakes outside the window was still gray, only slightly darker than in the afternoon.

In Zermatt in May, it’s not strange even if it doesn’t get dark until ten o’clock.

Just when Hoshino Gen was about to look for other more interesting games, there was a knock on the door of his room.

The "tuk-tuk-tuk" sound kept coming. Even if he didn't open the door, Hoshino Gen knew who was standing outside the door. He felt helpless for no reason in his heart. He went over to open the door. Sure enough, he was wearing a thin suspender pajamas. Rin Hoshino held his notebook, pointed at the computer screen with bright eyes and said excitedly: "Brother, look at it! The PS and PC versions of "Ruby Village" are on sale at the same time!"

Gen Hoshino raised his eyebrows. "Ruby Village" is a big world, sword and magic themed adventure game developed by a famous game manufacturer after ten years. It supports multiplayer online.

Just a month ago, it was the first to release a pre-test version on the mobile phone. It was limited to the performance of the mobile phone and cut out a lot of content. The playability and picture precision were far from the PC version and the console version. Even It can be said that it is just an appetizer before the main meal, but even so, "Ruby Land. Early Beta Version" became popular all over the Internet as soon as it was released, which can be regarded as setting off a craze in the gaming circle.

During the Tokyo Bay ghoul incident not long ago, Gen Hoshino played this game with Ruoha Kiryu while the crew was waiting for the ghoul to arrive.

I have to say that even Hoshino Gen's picky taste found it interesting.

"Brother, can we play together?" Hoshino Rin squeezed into the room, his bright eyes filled with anticipation.

Hoshino Gen looked at the door that she had even closed smoothly, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

......

When he was away from home, for Hoshino Gen, this manor was just like a hotel. The cheap girl came in if she wanted. After all, he was really interested in the full version of the game "Ruby Land".

But at two or three in the morning, when the pace of the game slowed down, and Gen Hoshino looked back at Hoshino Rin who had not spoken for a long time behind him, he found that Hoshino Rin had curled up and fell asleep on his bed.

"..."

Hoshino Gen thought for a while and realized that he wasn't sleepy anyway, so he might as well go for a walk.

Putting down the controller, turning off the game, and putting on his mobile phone, Hoshino Gen went to the cloakroom to change his clothes. He pushed open the solid wood double doors of the main building of the manor, and saw the cold wind carrying snowflakes whistling towards him.

Hoshino Gen stepped out, and the heat from being soaked in the heater for a long time was instantly taken away by the cold wind. Sure enough, he still preferred this environment to the warm feeling.

The door behind him closed automatically, and Hoshino Gen left the manor in the heavy snow.

At three o'clock in the morning, Zermatt, like most places in the world, is already in the quietest time of the day.

Under the street lamp, snowflakes were falling. Surprisingly, Hoshino Gen also saw a figure sitting on a bench near the street lamp.

It was a Swiss girl who looked to be less than twenty years old. She was wearing a hat, gloves and scarf, plus her furry clothes. Although she was sitting alone in the heavy snow, she gave people a very warm feeling.

The other party also noticed Hoshino Yuan, probably because he was also surprised that at this time and in such weather, there were still people hanging out outside. The girl's eyes followed Hoshino Yuan for a while.

Until Gen Hoshino walked under the streetlight, the girl couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's you!"

It was in German, and Hoshino Gen didn't quite understand it, but it naturally attracted more attention to him. He looked at the girl carefully for a few times. Hmm... she looked familiar - I remembered it, in the church in the afternoon. He had seen it before, and judging from her appearance, she was most likely to be Jerome's daughter or something like that.

"It's really you!" The girl remembered something and said something surprised in English. Then she immediately got up from the bench and said incoherently: "Thank you in the afternoon! Thank you very much! But, for... Why are you here at this time? Are you in any trouble? Please don't be polite. No matter what the difficulty is, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help..."

Hoshino Gen raised his hand to stop the other party and said calmly: "I was just out for a walk out of boredom. Thank you for your concern."

After saying that, he continued to move forward without stopping. It was just a stranger who met once, and there was nothing much to say. If it were Jerome himself, he wouldn't mind chatting, but his daughter or something forget it.

"Is this... like this?" The girl blinked, looking at Hoshino Yuan's retreating back, and said without giving up: "Um... may I ask, which country are you from? What is your name? Can you give me your contact information? I My family and I would love to repay you!”

Hoshino Yuan paused slightly. For some unknown reason, he turned back to look at the girl and said, "My name is...Ye Xingyuan. Forget about the reward. After all, I have already received the reward from your father."
