Tokyo Ghost Diary

When Hoshino Gen returned home despite the rain and fog, the lights in the living room were on as always.

Hoshino Rin was playing games on the sofa and did not see Tamamo Mae. Hoshino Gen guessed that the little girl had probably gone back to her room to sleep.

Seeing his brother coming back, Hoshino Rin immediately paused the game and stood up to greet him.

"Brother, welcome back!"

Hoshino Gen had just changed his shoes and looked at Hoshino Rin strangely, who ran over to greet him: "What's wrong?"

Hoshino Rin was not surprised that his brother saw that he had something to tell him, he smiled and said: "That's it, my mother called me half an hour ago and said that she didn't contact you - "

"Oh, there was no signal where I was before." Hoshino Genyan briefly explained the reason, and then asked casually: "So, what's going on?"

"Mom asked you when you are going to England." Hoshino Rin said, "Also, she hopes that you can call her back, brother."

Gen Hoshino didn't take out his cell phone to confirm the missed call. There was no need. He just replied "I know" and then picked up the sword bag and prepared to go back to the room.

But Hoshino Rin immediately stood in front of Hoshino Gen. She opened a pair of moist peach blossom eyes, staring into Hoshino Gen's eyes brightly and asked: "So, when will my brother go to England with me?"

"..." Hoshino Gen thought for a while and said, "I don't know. I have something to do tomorrow. When I am free depends on how long it takes to complete it."

"Eh? What's the matter? Are you going to deal with some ghost again?" Hoshino Rin pursed his lips, feeling a little unhappy.

"No, I got a good thing in Kyoto yesterday. I plan to ask someone to refine the thing into a prop. If it doesn't take a long time, then wait until the thing is finished. If it takes too long, then go ahead. Weekly departure." Hoshino Gen gave a brief explanation.

"Oh~ I see..." Hoshino Rin's two delicate white arms were clasped behind her back. She puffed her cheeks slightly, and her eyes fell on the sword bag in Hoshino Gen's hand: "So, brother got something good in Kyoto, Is this it? Is this why you go out at night?"

"No." Hoshino Gen didn't mean to hide it from his sister. Following Hoshino Rin's gaze, he also turned his attention to the sword bag in his hand. Speaking of which, after he got the sword, he didn't even take it out to take a closer look... …

He took a step back and took out Kikuichimonji Norimune from the sword bag. Without the barrier of the special fabric, the direct contact felt quite cold.

The simple blade is not very gorgeous, but just the way it is held in the sheath has an indescribable charm.

Gen Hoshino held the handle of the knife and slowly pulled out the blade. The silver light shone, and the light sprinkled on the ceiling of the living room was completely reflected by the blade. At first glance, it seemed as if the blade itself was glowing.

Hoshino Rin subconsciously took two steps back, not because she was afraid that Hoshino Gen would hurt her, but because she had experienced the incident where she was injured by a ghost more than two months ago, and her inner instinct was to have such long knives brought home by her brother. Psychological shadow.

"Brother...this is?"

"Kikuichi Monmonori Mune, like the Onikiri, is a demon sword." Gen Hoshino held the handle of the knife and shook it, then smoothly put the sword into the sheath. It felt quite good in the hand, and it made people restless just like when holding the Onikiri. The feeling of boiling was different. When he held the chrysanthemum norimune, his mind was as peaceful as an autumn pond with chrysanthemum petals floating in it.

Hearing that this knife was indeed the same type as the black knife, Hoshino Rin couldn't help but muttered: "Such a magical thing shouldn't be so easy to get, right? So my brother really went out to deal with ghosts. ?"

"That's not true. It was quite easy to get it. I just participated in an auction."

"Auction?" Hoshino Rin remembered that before her brother left in the evening, he told her that someone had made an appointment to go to the auction together, and then she couldn't help but asked: "Is there an auction that sells such magical things? "

"Why not? In this world, money can buy most things, and that includes these supernatural items." After testing the knife, Gen Hoshino was about to avoid Rin Hoshino and return to the room.

This time Hoshino Rin didn't stop him, but he couldn't help his curiosity and asked Hoshino Gen: "How much did your brother spend to buy this knife?"

"One billion dollars, but I didn't spend the money, someone else bought it and gave it away."

"Eh! Who is so generous?!" Hoshino Rin's eyes widened. After all, one billion US dollars is by no means a small amount for everyone in the world.

"The eldest lady of the Sasaki family."

After saying the last words, Hoshino Gen opened the door to his room and walked in with a knife. The door closed gently with a slight "bang".

Hoshino Rin, who was still a little unresponsive, was left alone in the living room, stunned.

The eldest lady of the Sasaki family, isn't that... my brother's fiancée? My brother accepted a gift worth a billion dollars from that eldest lady? !

Hoshino Rin pursed his lips, and suddenly had the urge to rush into his brother's room, ask him for the eldest lady's bank card number, and transfer a billion dollars back...

But fortunately, she was still sensible and knew that it was inappropriate to do so... In the end, she just sighed at her brother's closed door, turned around and walked to her room in despair.

......

In the bathroom of the room, Gen Hoshino was soaking in a bathtub filled with hot water, one arm resting on the edge of the bathtub, and holding a mobile phone in his hand to read the phone book.

Not long after, Hoshino Gen pointed at the contact with the note "Mother" and dialed the number.

After ringing for a few seconds, the call was connected, and Tilina's voice immediately rang on the other end of the phone: "Xiaoyuan?"

"...Good evening, mother." Gen Hoshino greeted in a calm and polite voice.

"Um...well, yes, good evening, honey, phew...you've gone home, haven't you?"

"Yeah." Hoshino Yuan responded.

"Oh~ My dear, you should have heard Ruiyi tell you, yes, mom misses you very much, really, very much, and your grandparents, as well as your aunts and uncles, they all Looking forward to meeting you.”

Hoshino Gen's tone remained calm: "Well, I will go over after finishing the matter in Tokyo."

"Of course! Honey, no one is forcing or rushing you. You can come over at any time, even now or tomorrow morning. Mom can help you arrange a flight immediately. Um...I mean, how long do you need?"

"I will try my best to solve it within a week, mother." He glanced at the ceiling of the bathroom, feeling a little sleepy.

"A week? Okay, I understand." Tilina's voice was filled with regret. She seemed to really hope that her son could get on a plane to London as soon as possible.

But after saying this, both Hoshino Gen on the other end of the phone and Tirina on the other end suddenly fell silent.

Gen Hoshino had nothing to say, but Tirina seemed to not know what to talk about for a while, just like when she was on the phone with her daughter, she always had endless topics to talk about and endless topics to talk about. The complete joke is the complete opposite.

She obviously wanted to talk to her son so much, but when the call actually came and she finished talking about the business, she immediately became speechless.

After all, she really didn't understand her son at all, which I have to say was really sad.

The silence lasted for about fifteen seconds, and then Hoshino Yuan broke the silence: "Good night, mother."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, threw the phone into the dirty clothes basket, half-closed his eyes, and continued to stare at the bathroom ceiling in a daze.
