Tokyo Survival from Tamamomae

Chapter 487: The Fox Treasure: The Rolling Pin

"Then... that, Haoren, what do you want to say to me?"

On the steps of the shrine, Haoren sat on the ground. He didn't know whether it was intentional or not. He leaned against Hoshino's side. The two were so close that they could clearly feel each other's body temperature even through the clothes.

This made Hoshino a little nervous, and even more uneasy.

"Liu Meichan, didn't you just say you were going to the toilet, why did you run outside?

However, Haoren didn't answer her, but asked her rhetorically.

"I, I have gone to the toilet, but I just feel a little bored sitting, and I want to come out for a walk."

Facing Haoren's questioning, Hoshino was able to find an excuse at the beginning, and barely complied.

But soon...

"Oh, so that's the case, but... I seemed to see you crying just now?"

"No, no... I didn't cry! So, what's the matter with Haoren?"

As if trying to cover up his previous gaffe, or as if he didn't want to expose his weak side in front of Haoren, Hoshino's voice suddenly became louder.

"Hmm... It's a little noisy, why do I feel that there is such a dissatisfaction?"

"without me……"

Hoshino waved his hands again and again, wanting to explain, but Haoren took the first step:
"Is it because I rejected Grandpa's proposal just now, which made you feel embarrassed, think that you are not attractive, or think that I hate you?"

Now that you have seen everything, you should take care of my feelings and comfort me!
Hoshino Rumi shouted in her heart, but this could only be said in her heart.

"No, Haoren, you misunderstood me, I just..."

On the surface, she still wanted to find an excuse to muddle through again.

However, Haoren did not give her this chance.

"Actually, I have no objection."

"Eh?"

Hoshino froze for a moment.

"Think about it, if I hated you, I wouldn't have hugged you to sleep before. How can I put it, I'm a slow-moving person who likes things to happen naturally, so I rejected Grandpa's proposal before.

But I subconsciously ignored your feelings, it was my fault, sorry, Rumi-chan! "

Varied……!
What, what, what!

This is... obviously he was lukewarm to me before, and never took the initiative, but now he actually apologized to me on his own initiative.

Restraining his heartbeat that was about to become violent, Hoshino tried his best to pretend to be normal,
"Hao Ren, you are right, I have a bad temper and am too self-centered."

"What's not, it's my problem, so... have you forgive me?"

"Well...forgive me!"

It was rare for Haoren to apologize so actively and sincerely, Hoshino naturally nodded quickly, something sparkled in his eyes, and the sadness on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Stupid girl, it's really easy to be coaxed by such a few simple words!"

In his mind, the second personality watched all this from the sidelines, and couldn't help complaining in his heart at this moment.

Of course, she also knew that Hoshino Rumi had no love experience, and even suffered from persecution paranoia.

Therefore, as long as Haoren treats her a little better, she will be so beautiful that she even forgets her last name.

"Thank you, Rumi-chan, I will pay attention next time!"

"kindness!"

At this time, Hoshino no longer felt the nervousness before, and even let out a long sigh of relief, and began to wait for what Haoren planned to talk to her next.

Because judging from Haoren's performance, what he's going to say next shouldn't look like a bad thing, so he can feel at ease for now.

Hey, why does my heart always have to be startled by Haoren's words or actions?

Really, really... I just fell in love with Hao Ren, and my mood changes because of his every move... Is this the feeling of being in love?

"No, you are just completely played by Hai Wanghao. But having said that, Haoren opened up so many harems, and it really wasn't for nothing. At least now he knows how to coax women, and he has made some progress..."

Hoshino was thinking wildly in his mind, but the second personality couldn't hold back, and complained again.

Of course, this time Hoshino still didn't hear it.

"So Haoren, what's the matter?"

Hoshino couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

However, after waiting for a long time, what was ushered in was silence.

Haoren suddenly stopped talking, and just kept staring at Hoshino, as if lost in thought.

"Uh, then, that...what the hell is it?"

Hoshino's hair was trembling for a while, and his little heart, which was originally relaxed, was slightly lifted.

"what?"

After being reminded by her, Haoren came back to his senses.

But hearing his stupid answer, Hoshino suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"That's right, didn't you just say you wanted to tell me something?"

"Yes, when you say that, it seems that there is such a thing!"

Hoshino: "..."

Although he felt a little speechless, Hoshino felt that after being reminded by himself for a while, Haoren should speak up now, right?
However, she was still too naive.

"..."

Silence fell between the two again.

This slightly gloomy and unpredictable atmosphere made Hoshino nervous again.

"So, Hao Ren, what are you going to say?"

"Uh, don't be in such a hurry!"

"However, this always gives me a bad feeling, Haoren, you are not usually like this."

No wonder Hoshino thought so, in her impression, the usual Haoren always likes to keep things short and straightforward, never being so vague like today.

Therefore, frankness is also one of Haoren's strengths. It is a sense of maturity that transcends boys of the same age, making Hoshino feel very handsome.

As a nine-tailed fox demon, he can obviously be a cold and superior demon emperor, but Haoren treats his friends and even his subordinates very gently.

This is a powerful personality charm, which is very attractive to girls.

Wait, wait... Shouldn't I be nervous right now?I don't know what bad things Haoren is going to tell me next, but why do I still praise him so much? What is this?

She suddenly remembered that Haoren was a nine-tailed fox demon, and she had already surrendered to him both physically and mentally, but today she suddenly left the meeting because of her willfulness, which must have offended Grandpa Haoren.

So, is Haoren planning to be courteous first and then to fight... to punish me?

If Haoren wanted to punish me, what method would he use?
Hoshino couldn't help worrying.

However, her question was quickly resolved, because Hao Ren finally spoke after being silent for a long time.

"Rumei-chan!"

He heard Hao Ren calling his name again.

That's a nickname for a first name.

Why, whenever this happens, my heart can't stop shaking?
"I'm here, so what's the matter?"

"Do you still have the rolling pin I gave you?"

Hoshino: "?!!"

Hoshino's complexion changed instantly.

Could it be that Hao Ren planned to punish her with a rolling pin?

And in her mind, the second personality heard the word "rolling pin", and for some reason, suddenly let out an extremely tragic scream that Hoshino had never heard before.

"Rolling, rolling...the rolling pin, ah ah ah ah~!"

Hearing the voice seemed to be afraid of something, which surprised Hoshino, and even temporarily forgot the punishment of the rolling pin, and couldn't help but think in his heart:

"Second personality, why is she afraid of the rolling pin?"
