Tokyo Ghost Diary

"Eh?" Hoshino Rin was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around to catch up with Hoshino Gen: "Failed? Why? Why does my brother dislike him? Is it because he's not pretty enough? Or is it a personality problem?"

Gen Hoshino looked at his sister who had transformed into a curious baby with a bit of fun, turned his head and asked playfully: "Why can't it be that the other party doesn't like me?"

"Because that's impossible!" She stopped in front of her brother's room and blinked her moist and beautiful heterochromatic eyes. She stood there with her hands behind her back, her pretty little face like a handicraft. Showing a smile, at this moment, the dimly lit living room seemed to be a little brighter: "Unless my brother did it on purpose!"

Hoshino Gen's movement of pushing the door paused for a moment. He retracted his gaze from Hoshino Rin, and then walked into the bedroom and said lightly, "It's just because I already have someone I like." Then he said " With a bang, the door to the room closed.

Hoshino Rin, who was standing outside the door, stuck out his tongue and made a face at the room door, then couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, humming a bright melody and turned around lightly to leave.

......

"President Amamiya, you should pay more attention to your children's emotional life on weekdays. All in all, this is what happened. It's a pity. I hope we can have a chance to cooperate next time."

In Paris, France, in an office deep in a manor, Hoshino Sosuke hung up a cross-country phone call.

There is a seven-hour time difference between Paris and Tokyo. Although it is already midnight in Tokyo, it has just entered the evening in Paris.

The assistant next to him took the boss's mobile phone and put it aside, then picked up a tablet terminal and handed it to Hoshino Sosuke.

Hoshino Sosuke scratched the terminal with his finger, rows of information scrolled by, and photos of girls flashed by. Finally, the screen froze on the photo of a dark-haired girl with a cold face.

"Sasaki..." Hoshino Sosuke looked thoughtful.

......

"The monthly test results have been released again."

"Don't squeeze...help me check my ranking!"

"Oops! No. 209, my mother will kill me!"

"The first place is that Sasaki again. It seems that she was the first place in the last monthly test and entrance exam, right? It's really amazing..."

"She is a genius after all. I heard that she basically ranks first in any exam or competition she has participated in!"

"No way, my family is so rich, I'm so beautiful, and yet I'm a genius, why are we ordinary people allowed to live?"

In the crowded and noisy crowd, Shimizu Yuu followed the crowd expressionlessly. Her eyes stayed on her "289" ranking, and her eyes were filled with death.

Although it seems that her ranking has improved a bit from the 290th place in the last monthly test, if you count from back to front, you will find that she is actually still the tenth from the bottom in the grade, because only Hoshino was in the last monthly test. Rin alone did not participate, but this time, neither Rin Hoshino nor Gen Hoshino participated.

Tenth from the bottom, with this heavy name weighing on his head, Yu Qingshui felt his soul sluggish.

Then she languished all day until school was over in the afternoon.

……

In the antique shop, Yu Shimizu was lying on the solid wood table like a little salted fish who had lost her dream. She puffed up her little face and looked at Gen Hoshino who was sitting opposite and leisurely reading a book, and made an angry sound. : "Why in the world is there such a human tragedy as exams?"

"Forget about taking exams, why do you still need to give rankings?"

"Some people are just not good at studying, and studying is not the only way out!"

"Isn't education a comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills? Why do we have to use our scores to judge our rankings?"

Shimizu Yuyou said, the more excited she became, she had now sat upright with her slender body, clenching Bai Shengsheng's little fists, as if she was not sitting on the carpet in front of the desk facing Hoshino Gen, but standing on the podium where everyone was watching. , delivering an impassioned speech.

Hoshino Gen put down the book and said quietly: "It's useless for you to yell with me here. You should tell your mother when she wants to beat you." Hoshino Gen was very unhappy when his reading was interrupted, so he didn't want to The employees who shout loudly and make noise at the workplace are happy.

A basin of cold water was poured down on his head, and Qing Shuiyu suddenly slumped back, looking downcast like a wilted cabbage: "What should I do? If my mother knew that I was ranked tenth from the bottom again, she would definitely send me away. From the cram school—that’s what she said last time..."

After saying that, she pursed her pink lips and looked at Hoshino Gen with a pleading look on her face.

"It's useless for you to tell me this." Gen Hoshino said with a smile: "The exam is over and the results have come down. I don't have the ability to turn back time and let you take the exam again."

Of course Yu Shimizu knows that, she just thinks that Gen Hoshino is so powerful and smart, and she hopes that this guy can help her think of a way to make her mother not so angry...

With a helpless sigh, Shimizu Yu put her slender white legs wrapped in black knee-high socks together and stretched them under the table, and then continued to lie on the table withering.

Gen Hoshino looked down at the pair of little feet stretching out to him from the opposite side, rolled his eyes, picked up a pen on the table and tapped on it: "It's time for you to work."

Shimizu Yu shrank his legs and glared at the unscrupulous boss on the opposite side, bastard! Can girls’ feet be touched casually? ! Moreover, don’t you see that people are sad and depressed?

But Gen Hoshino had already lowered his head and continued reading, completely ignoring her emotions.

Shimizu Yu pouted, and while sulking, he got up and walked to the utility room, ready to work.

"Wait a minute." Hoshino Yuan suddenly stopped her.

Yu Shimizu turned around in confusion and saw Gen Hoshino smiling: "Make me a cup of coffee first."

"..." Shimizu Yu rolled his eyes, made a face at him, and then turned around and walked towards the bar where the coffee machine was.

......

After cleaning up, he went to the backyard to water the flowers and plants. It was almost time to get off work. Shimizu Yu said goodbye to Hoshino Gen, then dragged his tired and heavy body and disappeared into the distant sunset.

Hoshino Gen stayed alone in the antique shop for a while. He felt that it was almost dinner time, so he stretched, got up and walked out of the shop door that had been repaired yesterday morning, locked the door and left.

His dinner was served at a ramen restaurant on the street. After dinner, Gen Hoshino was supposed to go home, but while walking, he suddenly remembered what Asaba Shinichi said to him at the dinner last night. .

Hoshino Yuan couldn't help but muttered: "Get stronger..."

In fact, if I think carefully about my fight with Asaba Shinichi that night, my swordsmanship is almost immature compared to that guy's. The fact that I was able to fight him evenly on the scene was all about forcibly closing the gap with my physical reaction.

No, it's not so much a physical reaction, but rather the blessing of the special power in his body. Without that power, his body is just at the level of an average person. After all, he has not even gone out of his way to exercise in this life.

At least compared to his previous life, he is at a level of negative growth physically. If his body does not need the blessing of special power and has enough strength, then he can invest more special power into the battle itself, and That is to say, as long as he actively exercises his body, he can... become stronger.

Thinking of the battle with Asaba Shinichi that night, Hoshino Gen raised his lips, and the desire to become stronger arose in his heart that he had not seen for a long time.

On the street less than a kilometer away from home, Hoshino Gen stopped a taxi and got in. The car turned around and drove in the opposite direction.
