Tokyo Ghost Diary

The sudden wind pressure made a forest in the wild rustle. In the harmony of branches and leaves, Hoshino Gen held Hoshino Rin and slowly fell from the night sky.

It's not that he doesn't want to find a better landing location, but this is the closest place he can reach to nearby populated areas.

He can't fly. At least on land, all he can do is glide in the wind or stay in the air for a short time. The position he jumped from the plane before was not good. At that time, the night sky was vast. The sea, God knows how much strength and talismans he spent to glide from that ghost place to the land.

The moment he found his feet on the ground, Hoshino Gen even staggered twice before regaining his balance. He quickly adjusted his breathing. He looked at his arms, which was still holding his waist like a small tree, with a pair of big watery eyes open. , the sister who looked at him with a slightly aggrieved expression said expressionlessly: "Come down."

Hoshino Rin immediately let go of his brother's waist obediently, wiped his tears, left his arms and stood on the ground, tangled his hands together, and called out "brother" to Hoshino Gen in aggrieved manner.

Hoshino Gen moved his aching arms, then walked in a certain direction, took out his mobile phone and said: "I just saw it in the sky. There is a small town not far ahead. Let's go there to spend the night first."

"Yes." Hoshino Rin responded obediently with a nasal voice, then trotted to catch up with his brother, hugged one of his arms, and the two walked side by side.

Hoshino Gen glanced at her but said nothing.

Using one hand to operate his mobile phone to check the location, he found that his current location was the northernmost part of Hokkaido, 1500 kilometers away from Tokyo. It was a coincidence. He was supposed to leave for Hokkaido tomorrow, but he never thought about it. We actually arrived at our destination early...

Walking out of the woods, what appears in front of you is a large piece of green grass. At a glance, you can still vaguely see a country road surrounded by grass. The moonlight tonight is extremely bright, not only the shape of the clouds, but also the color and color of the grass. The outline of the small town in the distance was reflected extremely clearly. Even without the street lights and neon lights everywhere, the countryside was still as bright as day.

When the cool night breeze rippled on the grass, carrying the fragrance of grass and soil, it blew on Hoshino Rin. She, who was only wearing a thin summer dress, couldn't help but shiver.

But she didn't feel cold. She hugged her brother's arm tightly and stayed close to him... and the sight of the vast wilderness and the bright night in front of her. For a moment, she really couldn't tell whether this was a dream. It's still realistic.

In such a drifting trance, she was led by Hoshino Gen all the way into the town. It was not difficult to find a hotel that was open 24 hours a day. She chose a hotel with fairly good conditions to stay, and until this moment, she stood After completing the room check-in procedures in front of the bar, Hoshino Rin gradually came back to his senses.

"Two rooms."

When Hoshino Rin heard her brother say this to the salesperson behind the bar, she quietly glanced at Hoshino Gen's side face, then lowered her head, saying nothing, and even let go of the hand holding her brother's arm.

In this month, there are basically no tourists in the town, and the hotel rooms are very sufficient, so the rooms of Hoshino Gen and Hoshino Rin are adjacent to each other. However, the door of the room corresponding to the room card in Hoshino Gen's hand is relatively close to the stairs, so it is not Arrive faster.

However, Hoshino Rin followed Hoshino Gen to the front and rear of the room and was unwilling to move any further. Hoshino Gen swiped his card to open the door and looked back at her strangely.

Hoshino Rin lowered his head and reached out to grab the hem of his brother's clothes, remaining silent and speechless.

But the meaning has been conveyed, and Hoshino Gen understands it. He knows that this girl is a coward. She has experienced a life-and-death horror today, and she is probably too scared to go back to the room alone.

He didn't care at all, he pushed the door open, turned on the light, and walked into the room. Hoshino Rin quickly followed, not forgetting to help close the door, lock it, and pull on the anti-theft chain.

After all, this is just a small town not much bigger than a village. Even if it is the highest-level room in this hotel, the facilities inside are still rudimentary. Apart from a clean big bed and a TV and air conditioner hanging on the wall, basically There is no other furniture...oh, and there is a wicker chair on the balcony.

At the critical moment, Hoshino Gen was not picky about the environment he lived in. After casually scanning the room to make sure there was no problem, he stretched, sat on the bed, leaned his back against the bedside, took out his phone and started playing with it.

Hoshino Rin went into the bathroom and looked around. After discovering that there were disposable unopened towels, he turned around and asked Hoshino Gen in a low voice: "Brother, do you want to take a shower first?"

"No need." Hoshino Gen typed a message on his phone without looking up.

Hoshino Rin nodded, then entered the bathroom, closed the door and started taking a shower.

She was very fast, probably because she didn't want to use the low-quality shampoo and shower gel provided by the hotel, so she just rinsed her body with water, wiped it clean with a disposable towel, put on her clothes and came out.

Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening, Hoshino Gen raised his head and said to Hoshino Rin: "Give me your room card. When you fall asleep, I will go to the next door."

"Oh..." Hoshino Rin obediently found the room card from his pocket, walked to the bed and handed it to his brother. Then he climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt, and lay down.

Gen Hoshino, who was sitting next to the bed and leaning against the headboard, pressed the switch next to him to turn off the light, and then continued to lower his head to reply to the message.

Huddled up in the quilt, Hoshino Rin lay on his side facing his brother. The room was dark, with only the faint light from the screen of Hoshino Gen's mobile phone illuminating his face.

Hoshino Rin looked at his brother's side face. After a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Why did my brother... appear at that time?"

"Because I was also on the plane, and my mother called me and asked me to accompany you to England."

"...Oh." The doubt was answered, and Hoshino Rin was quiet for a while.

But not long after, she couldn't help but said: "Brother, who are you chatting with?"

"A friend." Gen Hoshino said calmly while typing.

"Ms. Sasaki?" Hoshino Rin asked tentatively in a low voice.

"No."

"Is that another girl?"

"Male." Gen Hoshino glanced at his younger sister who was turning into a chatterbox again, put down the phone, and said calmly: "Are you going to sleep or not?"

Hoshino Rin didn't reply, but quickly turned his little head to look at his brother's phone screen, and found that there was more than one person chatting with his brother. It seemed to be a chat group. Looking at the profile picture, it seemed that there were only three people in total.

The key words in the chat content are "Hokkaido", "Rigui" and "Village".

Hoshino Rin had a rough guess, but she didn't pay much attention. She just took one look and realized that her brother was really not chatting with a girl, so she immediately put her head back on the pillow, and then innocently faced the expressionless Hoshino Gen. He blinked his big watery eyes.

Hoshino Gen ignored her, picked up his phone, and continued to exchange information with the other two guys in the group and determine tomorrow's course of action.

The dark room was quiet for a long time, and Hoshino Rin suddenly spoke again: "Brother, can you hold my hand? I'm a little cold..."

Before Hoshino Gen could reply, his hand on his leg was grabbed by Hoshino Rin and pulled into the warm quilt. Then he was held by two soft little hands. It seemed that he was not going to do it for a while. open.

The index finger of Hoshino Gen's hand that was held trembled subconsciously twice, but soon returned to calm. He didn't speak or move. He allowed Hoshino Rin to hold his hand while he stared at the phone in silence with a smile. light screen.

I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that Hoshino Gen thought Hoshino Rin had fallen asleep. He moved his eyes away from the screen that turned off at some point and looked at Hoshino Rin's face next to him.

The moonlight made everything in the bedroom clearly visible through the window and balcony, and Hoshino Gen saw that Hoshino Rin was looking at him with a pair of beautiful eyes open, with a slight blush on his beautiful face. .

Noticing his brother's gaze, Hoshino Rin said with a confused expression: "Brother..."

"Shut up and go to sleep." Hoshino Gen said.

As soon as he spoke, Hoshino Rin suddenly woke up from a dream. He lowered his head in a panic and buried his whole face in the quilt. However, even though the hands holding Hoshino Gen's hands were hot, he still refused to let go. .

This time, the room was quiet for longer, because Hoshino Rin really fell asleep.

Gen Hoshino glanced at the peaceful sleeping face of his sister next to him through the moonlight, then took his hands away from her arms, stood up and left the bed.

But he did not go to the next door to rest. Instead, he walked to the balcony of the room, sat on a wicker chair, and looked up at the stars in the sky in a daze.

There was a ripple in a deep pool that had been calm for sixteen years.
