Tokyo Ghost Diary

The demon sword in his hand turned into scattered streams of light and poured into Hoshino Gen's arm. He stood there and looked at himself in front of him.

There was silence in the white world.

Hoshino Gen's expression was a little hesitant, but his hand had been raised unconsciously.

Gen Hoshino, whose left eye was blood red, had a face full of encouragement and expectation——

“Ding ring ring ring————!!!”

The piercing ringtone of the mobile phone broke the silence and penetrated this vast white space. Hoshino Gen's confused and empty eyes instantly regained their vitality. He took a step back suddenly and stared sinisterly at the man in front of him with a blood-red left eye. He seemed a little angry at the moment. Then, in that expression, he disintegrated into particles of light and disappeared.

After a moment, the entire white space became distorted, like a star encountering a black hole, torn apart and swallowed into the silver-gray ring in the palm of Hoshino Gen's left hand.

The world returned to the one Hoshino Gen was familiar with. What he saw in front of him was the sand, the bay, and the bright white moonlight in the sky.

Looking down at the ring in his hand that seemed to amplify desire and confuse people, Gen Hoshino sighed softly, wrapped it with a piece of talisman paper and put it in his jacket pocket.

Jingle Bell……

The phone was still ringing. Gen Hoshino took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number.

Swipe to answer, and a sweet voice came from inside: "Hoshino-senpai, good evening!"

The voice is very pleasant and energetic, making you feel that the person speaking must be a beautiful girl full of vitality.

"...Good evening." After a short pause, Hoshino Yuan responded to the greetings on the phone, and at the same time turned and walked towards the wooden house, intending to clean up the mess there.

"Hey, Senior Gen Hoshino, have you seen the moon tonight? It's so big and bright!"

"Yes, I saw it." Hoshino Yuan's voice was calm, and he didn't have much impatience with these useless topics.

"Yeah, right! The night sky tonight is so beautiful - by the way, Hoshino-senpai, where are you now? Do you want to go out for supper together? I know a great restaurant!"

Gen Hoshino was a little speechless and choked up, because he was obviously not familiar with the owner of the voice, and had not even met him a few times, but listening to what the other person said, it was as if the two of them were close friends who had known each other for a long time. generally.

It's familiar enough, but it's obviously trying to close the relationship from the beginning of the daily life, and use it as a way to pave the way for the requests I want to make later. It's also really childish...

Hoshino Gen wanted to laugh a little: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly, don't beat around the bush."

"Ah?" The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously stagnant for a moment, but soon he said sweetly: "Senior Hoshino, what are you talking about? I just want to invite you, senior, to come out and play together..."

"It's okay, I'm hanging up."

Hoshino Gen rolled his eyes and opened the door of the wooden house in front of him.

"No, no!" the voice on the phone said hurriedly, and then said with embarrassment and a little grievance: "Actually, I just want to ask the senior, when are you going to take action to solve the incident? Can you do it? Take me with you? The team assigned me a task, asking me to observe your abilities, senior, and submit a report..."

"..." Hoshino Yuan was silent for a moment. He didn't know whether this girl was too upright or too scheming, but these were insignificant compared to the scene in front of him at this moment.

Because the female body in red that was supposed to be lying on the folding bed disappeared, and the man on the ground who was trampled to death by his foot now only has half of the eaten body left in place.

Hoshino Gen looked up at the sky, but unfortunately this was indoors. Even if he looked up, he could only see the wooden roof.

"One good news and one bad news." Hoshino Gen said to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Eh? What do you mean?" There was a sense of doubt and naivety in the voice.

Gen Hoshino looked around to make sure that the corpse named Mariina had really disappeared without a trace. He said: "I am already taking action, and the Tokyo Bay ghoul has been killed."

"Ha!? So fast!" The girl on the other end of the phone said in surprise, and then she cried a little bit: "Although I know that you are super powerful, senior, but this efficiency is too fast! Didn't I miss it? A chance to complete the mission?”

Hoshino Gen twitched his lips and turned to leave the cabin: "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. Although the original Tokyo Bay ghoul was solved, there was a small accident during the operation, and now there may be a new one." ghost……"

"...Huh?" The girl on the other side seemed a little confused.

Hoshino Gen didn't care about this, but suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, your name is Kiryu Ruoha, right?"

"Uh...yes..." The girl had not yet recovered from the shock of the previous piece of information. When faced with Hoshino Gen's question, she just responded subconsciously.

Hoshino Gen chuckled softly: "Just now, you might have saved the world... Also, thank you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, stuffed the phone back into his pocket, turned around and left the beach, gradually disappearing into the night.

After an unknown amount of time, gentle ripples appeared on the calm bay. Half of his pale face poked out of the water, and a pair of dark eyes stared blankly at the direction Hoshino Yuan left.

......

The long and fine eyelashes trembled slightly under the moonlight. Hoshino Rin, who was sleeping curled up on the floor, quietly opened her eyes, sleepiness still wrapped around her. In a daze, she sat up, hugged her delicate shoulders, and gently Rubbing it lightly.

So cold.

Hoshino Rin looked around blankly, remembering that he was sitting under the eaves waiting for his brother to come, but accidentally fell asleep by the door.

His eyes paused when he glanced at the window, because Hoshino Gen, who had returned from unknown time, was sitting there playing with his mobile phone.

"Brother...?" The girl softly called to the boy.

Hoshino Gen raised his head, glanced at his sister whose face was a little pale from the cold, then lowered his head again to look at the shimmering mobile phone screen in his hand, and said at the same time: "Two pieces of bad news."

"Your colleague is dead and has turned into a new evil spirit." Gen Hoshino said the cruelest words in the calmest tone.

When Hoshino Rin heard this, the sleepiness all over his body was instantly replaced by a coldness, and his beautiful heterochromatic eyes quickly filled with mist, condensing into teardrops and sliding down his white cheeks.

"……how so?"

Hoshino Gen breathed out, turned off his cell phone, and stood up holding on to the window sill. He walked towards the Japanese room and said softly: "The murderer has been killed. Please forgive me and go back to the room to rest early."
