Tokyo Ghost Diary

In the evening, Gen Hoshino, who was having dinner in the restaurant at home, received a call from Naika Asara of the special task force.

"Missing?"

"Yes, we found traces of her out-of-control abilities near Ruo Ye's residence. Centered on her home, within a radius of one kilometer, a total of two people were seriously injured, and twelve people, including Ruo Ye's stepfather, died of suicide. .”

"This is the total number of people in that area at that time... Fortunately, it was two or three o'clock in the afternoon on a weekday, and there were not many people staying at home in that residential area, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Ruo Ye's ability may not be that strong when dealing with powerful ghosts and supernatural beings, but once the ability goes out of control and affects people with weak abilities or ordinary people, it will cause devastating disasters."

"We can't be sure of her current condition. There's no guarantee where she will repeat the afternoon disaster next time. We need to confirm her location as soon as possible. Ruo Ye seems to have a good relationship with you. If you have any clues, please tell me contact us……"

"In addition, if you find her, please tell her that her mother is not dead. She has a fractured neck bone and a shattered skull. The injuries are very serious, but she was rescued in time to save her life. If Ruo Ye regains consciousness now, she will be very desperate. , if possible, I hope to at least let her know that her mother is still here."

"Beep beep..."

After hanging up the phone, Hoshino Gen looked at the phone interface with a slight frown.

At the dining table, Hoshino Rin, who was sitting opposite him, looked at his frowning brother in confusion and couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's wrong, brother?"

Hoshino Gen sighed softly: "A friend is missing."

After saying that, he thought for a while, did not turn off the phone, but swiped the screen and found an application that he had not opened for a long time.

【line】

"Missing?" Hoshino Rin was a little surprised: "Brother's friend? Who is it?"

"You saw it last time in White Palm Village." Hoshino Gen's phone has already displayed the interface after entering the line.

There is only one contact in the friends column.

At the same time, the appearance of that very sweet and cute junior high school girl suddenly appeared in Hoshino Rin's mind.

She was full of surprise: "Don't she have special abilities like her brother?"

Gen Hoshino ignored his sister's endless questions. He clicked on the avatar of the only friend in his line and entered the chat interface.

He thought for a moment and typed "Where are you?"

Click Send.

After doing this, he turned off his phone and put it aside, and continued to eat with his head down.

Tamamo Mae, who was sitting opposite Hoshino Rin and had been eating a small cake, raised her little head at this time, but she just glanced at Hoshino Gen, then quickly lowered her head and continued to eat her own. cake.

"Brother..." Hoshino Rin called Hoshino Gen and asked tentatively: "How about I call my mother and ask my mother to activate the family network to help search..."

Before she finished speaking, Hoshino Yuan's cell phone suddenly vibrated twice. He picked up the cell phone, took a look at it, and said, "No need."

After saying that, he dropped his chopsticks, put away his phone and stood up: "I'm going out."

"Eh?"

Hoshino Rin blinked in confusion, and just as she was about to ask something, Tamamo Mae beside her tugged at the hem of her clothes: "A Yuan already knows the location of the missing girl, so we don't need to worry about it. Compared to that, Rin-chan, I I’ve finished eating the cake, can I have another piece?”

Among the many ordinary foods that have no energy, only sweets have a taste that suits the little girl's taste.

......

Gen Hoshino rode his motorcycle all the way to an abandoned park in Higashi Ikebukuro.

The dusk light makes the dilapidated park look even more desolate and sad.

Gen Hoshino took off his helmet, got out of the car and walked into the park.

Except for a bench not far from the entrance, there was no one anywhere else.

Hoshino Gen came to the bench and looked at Kiryu Ruoye, who had a downcast face and a petite body with a lonely body. They were silent for a long time, neither of them spoke.

In the end, it was Hoshino Gen who spoke first. Standing under the withered cherry blossom tree, he asked: "Are you feeling better now?"

Kiryu Ruoye seemed to have just realized that someone was coming, and raised his head to follow the sound.

Her face, which was always filled with a sweet smile, was dull. Her pretty face, which was always full of energy, was pale, her eyes were blood red, and her eyes were numb.

She stared at Hoshino Gen and spoke in a murmuring voice: "Senior...what should I do?"

Hoshino Gen crossed his arms and said: "I'm not very good at enlightening people, but if you are referring to the consequences of this matter, I don't think you should worry too much. After all, it was caused by your out-of-control ability. Your special task force encountered Aren't all cases like this treated as psychotic homicide... But you should know this better than me, so you can first tell me what happened."

"..." Kiryu Ruoye pursed her lips and looked at Hoshino Yuan. The numbness on her face slowly receded. Mist filled her eyes and quickly condensed into crystal tears rolling down. She shook her head and lowered her head: "It doesn't matter anymore. , anyway, it’s impossible to go back to the past.”

"Really?" Hoshino Gen's expression and tone remained calm, as if he really didn't care. He continued: "So, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know." Kiryu Ruoye sobbed. In the dusk, the girl sat on a rusty bench in an abandoned park. Her frail shoulders were shaking, and her whole body seemed to be broken.

"..."

As Hoshino Gen himself said just now, he is indeed not very good at educating people, so at this moment, he just looked at Kiryu Ruoye in silence.

After a long time, Kiryu Ruoye seemed to have adjusted her mood. She washed her nose twice and raised her face again. Although her face was haggard and pale, it was still pleasant, and even made me feel pity for it. Feel.

"Don't talk about me anymore, it's all over anyway." A slight smile appeared on Kiryu Ruoye's face. Although it was a little forced, she did seem to be in much better spirits than just now.

"Speaking of which, I heard a few days ago that you are engaged, senior?"

"Yes." Hoshino Gen responded calmly. He looked at Kiryu Ruoye's face and his eyebrows twitched imperceptibly.

"It's with that Sasaki-senpai... right?"

"Ah."

"Senior, do you like Sasaki-senpai?"

"..."

"You don't like it, right?" Kiryu Ruoha chuckled and stared into Hoshino Gen's eyes: "Then the engagement between the senior and the other party should be arranged by the senior's family, right? In other words, is it for profit? "

"Correct."

"Can 30 billion U.S. dollars compare to the total amount of benefits created by the marriage between the senior and Sasaki-senpai?" Kiryu Ruoye smiled and asked Hoshino Gen: "This is the total amount of assets left by that man."

Thirty billion US dollars is almost the total market value of a midstream and downstream company in the Fortune Global 500. It is undoubtedly an astronomical amount of wealth. The marriage between the Hoshino Consortium and the Sasaki family may create a huge amount of wealth. Bundling interests and exchanging resources in various aspects can also yield various gains.

But even if all these benefits are quantified, it is absolutely impossible to reach 30 billion US dollars, such a series of terrifying figures.

Hoshino Gen sighed: "I know what you want to say. If it was a week ago, I would have been indifferent. As long as I had seen it, I didn't care who I would marry in the future. But it doesn't work now. I owe someone an adult in their family." Affection."

"..." Kiryu Ruoye looked at Hoshino Gen in silence.

After a while, she sighed helplessly and said with a smile: "That's it, forget it... Senior, please run over and talk to you. I feel much better. I'm fine."

Hoshino Yuan nodded slowly: "That's good."

After saying that, he walked towards his motorcycle: "Would you like a ride? I'll take you back."

Gen Hoshino's motorcycle is naturally the Kawasaki H2 given to him by his sister. Its design is not suitable for carrying people, but both Gen Hoshino and Ruoha Kiryu have slender figures, especially Ruoha Kiryu, who is still very petite. , two people squeeze together, there is basically no problem.

However, Kiryu Ruoye shook her head and refused. She smiled and said: "No, it's already a lot of trouble for seniors today. I'll just take the train back later."

Gen Hoshino, who was already on the bus, nodded when he heard the words, put on his helmet, started the motorcycle, hit the accelerator, and soon disappeared outside the park gate.

At dusk, Kiryu Ruoha was the only one left in the abandoned park.

She sat on the bench, swaying her slender legs, and soon the sound of footsteps approached.

A man in black robe came to her and said in a low voice: "What are you thinking about? With your ability, it is too wasteful to stay here. Anyway, you have no other worries now. How about coming with me? I can give you Everything you want..."

Kiryu Ruoye looked at the black-robed man in front of him expressionlessly and nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

The moment she finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the park gate.

"I almost forgot. Someone asked me to tell you that your mother is fine. She was rescued in time and her life is not in danger. She is in the hospital now."

Kiryu Ruoye turned to look outside the park gate in astonishment. Hoshino Gen, who should have left, was holding a demon sword and staring indifferently at the man in black robe who looked equally astonished.

Gen Hoshino glanced at Kiryu Ruoye lightly, and said in a calm but undeniable tone: "After dealing with this mouse, I will take you to see her."
