Tokyo Ghost Diary

When Yu Shimizu brought the fried dishes into the living room, she saw Gen Hoshino answering the phone. She immediately closed her mouth as she was about to say something.

And just when she was about to walk over lightly, she suddenly noticed that the air above Hoshino Gen suddenly became distorted, and it looked like an invisible mirror appeared there——

Shimizu Yu widened her eyes and wanted to warn Hoshino Gen that something was wrong, but in the next second, a petite figure that was familiar to her emerged from the twisted air, and then fell on the legs of Hoshino Gen who was sitting on the sofa. superior.

Shimizu Yu blinked, witnessing such an incredible scene, she felt that she should be surprised, but she had no choice, after all, she had been with Hoshino Gen for so long, and she had seen all kinds of weird things by his side. Young people have long been resistant to this kind of fantasy scene.

Taking a breath and calmly accepting the setting that the boss's children could teleport, Yu Shimizu placed the assorted vegetables on the table in front of Gen Hoshino and greeted Tamamo Mae with a smile: "Good morning, Jiujiu. Sauce."

Tamamo, who was holding Hoshino Gen's neck and lying in his arms, turned her head sleepily and responded: "Well...it's Yu-chan, good morning~"

The little girl was wearing a wide white T-shirt that she used as pajamas. She seemed to have just woken up. Her beautiful, crystal white hair looked a little messy, and the look on her face was dazed.

Watching this, Yu Shimizu couldn't help but exclaim: How could there be such a cute thing in the world! Then he couldn't help but reach out and pinch the little girl's soft face.

Gen Hoshino, on the other hand, was not very resistant to Tamamo-mae's intimate contact, and allowed the little girl lying in his arms to hug his neck. However, when he ended the call with Master Nishida, he dropped the phone , lifted Tamamo Mae from his arms with both hands and placed him on the sofa next to him.

Tamamo Mae immediately came over and hugged his waist from the side, looking clingy.

Hoshino Gen rolled his eyes slightly, and while gesturing to Shimizu Yu to help him put the rice, he asked Tamamo Mae: "What happened? Why did you suddenly come to me in this way?"

"No." The little girl rubbed her little head against Hoshino Yuan's waist and said in the same soft voice as when she just woke up: "Because I didn't find A Yuan in the room after I woke up~"

Gen Hoshino rubbed the little girl's head, then reached out to take the rice bowl handed over by Yu Shimizu, picked up the chopsticks and ate.

Shimizu Yu sat down cross-legged on the other side of the short table, holding her cheeks with her hands and looking blankly at the inexplicably harmonious scene opposite. Although she couldn't tell exactly what went wrong, she always felt that after returning from Kyoto this time, Gen Hoshino seems to be a little different...

......

On the twelfth floor underground of a building in Chuo District, Tokyo, separated by a thickened explosion-proof and magic-blocking glass wall, Master Nishida stood side by side with a middle-aged man with a scar on his face.

Following their gaze, they could see an Ouroboros bracelet floating there quietly behind the glass wall.

The bracelet as a whole had a bone-like pale white color, except for the pair of snake eyes that shone with a faint green light, looking eerie and strange.

The silence in the room lasted for a long time. Finally, it was the scar-faced middle-aged man who took the lead to break the silence: "Using the skull and bones of Yamata no Orochi as the main body, four secondary load-bearing objects, two third-level load-bearing objects, and even... It also includes a national treasure-level demon sword... which was finally made using the alchemy skills you have learned all your life."

"Do you really want to hand over equipment of this level to such an unstable individual?"

Master Nishida put his hands behind his back and stared seriously and calmly at the Ouroboros bracelet behind the glass wall, which was almost the highest quality in his alchemy career. He said lightly: "You have never seen the existence in his body with your own eyes. , so I don’t understand.”

The scar-faced middle-aged man frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It means that the strong boy is actually to protect ourselves. After all, if the existence in his body wants to come to this world in person at any time, unless the boy willingly becomes the sacrifice of that existence, otherwise, He is our strongest first line of defense."

"..."

......

Crash-!

The rolling shutter door of the antique store fell heavily, and Hoshino Gen, who had finished breakfast, and Shimizu Yu, who had washed the pots and dishes, parted outside the store door.

Because Tamamo Mae didn't wear shoes when she suddenly appeared in front of Hoshino Gen, so...she went back riding the big dog Xiaobai.

When I got home, there was no one in the house. Hoshino Rin had sent a message to Hoshino Gen half an hour ago, saying that he and everyone from tky02 had gone to participate in the recording of a variety show and would probably not be back until evening.

But this will not have any impact on Hoshino Gen. After all, Tamamo Mae does not need to be taken care of like an ordinary five-year-old child. As long as the TV is turned on and the remote control is thrown to her, this little girl can be an obedient child on the sofa. Spend a whole day in the field.

As for the big dog Xiaobai, Hoshino Gen doesn't have to worry about it. Hoshino Rin has prepared an automatic feeder for it, whether it's food or water.

Therefore, in fact, the only impact of Hoshino Rin not being at home is that Hoshino Gen needs to think about where to go for lunch.

But it's still early. We've just finished breakfast, so there's no need to start thinking about lunch. Tamamo-mae is watching TV in the living room, and Gen Hoshino goes back to his room to play games on the computer.

After spending the whole morning leisurely, until noon came, Hoshino Gen planned to call a lunch delivery service, but before he dialed, his cell phone rang first, and the caller was this morning. The contact he had just saved in his phone - Master Nishida.

The purpose of Master Nishida's call this time was very simple. He just informed Hoshino Gen: "The things are ready, come and get them."

Hoshino Gen was a little... no, quite surprised by the alchemy speed of Uncle Nishida.

In his original idea, an ultra-high-level alchemy creation that uses the head of a skeletal serpent as the main body and smelts multiple objects into it would take a week or even ten days and a half. It is true that he did not expect that he just made it yesterday morning. If you send something over, you will receive a notification that it is ready at noon today.

In addition, he only received a call from Master Nishida this morning asking if he was willing to integrate Kikuichi Monji norimune into the alchemy creation. With such efficiency and speed, Gen Hoshino seriously doubted whether the other party had already taken action before asking him. Okay, that phone call was actually just a warning to be dealt with first?

But no matter what, it’s a good thing to get puzzle pieces that make up for your shortcomings earlier...
