Tokyo: Starting from Miko Big Sister

Chapter 220

Haruhiko and Hoshino Hotaru actually meet frequently.

Since their birthdays, their relationship has been extraordinary, and it is naturally impossible to run into each other once in a while as before.

But with Hoshino Hotaru's character, seeing each other for half a day is like seeing each other for half a year.

Although she has no expression, her emotions are far more intense than ordinary people.

After a long time, the two separated.

"Good morning."

Haruhiko said as he looked at her glossy soft lips.

"Good morning."

Hotaru Hoshino exhaled lightly, and hugged his arm again, and the two of them stuck tightly together.

"why you?"

Feeling the touch on his arm, Haruhiko asked casually.

He had been in contact with Hoshino Rin before.

Now suddenly changed to Hoshino Hotaru, there must be a reason.

However, he was also worried about whether doing so would lead to exposure.

Hotaru Hoshino.

how to say?

Haruhiko always felt that she was not afraid of being exposed.

"The ruins of Takamagahara are more dangerous."

Hoshino Hotaru raised her head slightly, looked at him, and said, "Sister is the heir of Izumo Shrine, and she needs to prepare many things. If she is not free, please ask me to come and pick you up."

"I see."

Haruhiko pinched her little face.

The main reason is that she looks like a cat waiting to be fed.

Adorable yet possessive.

Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru are both heirs of Izumo Shrine.

But the former is bright and the latter is dark.

This means that Hoshino Rin will truly perform the duties of the heir, and Hoshino Hotaru only needs to practice.

Haruhiko stepped forward and opened the door.

Because they were going to Izumo Shrine, neither of them took off their shoes.

They went upstairs to the teleportation room.

With a flash of psionic energy, two people appeared at the Izumo Shrine.

Haruhiko twitched his arm, but it got stuck.

He looked at Hotaru Hoshino, seeing her reluctance in her eyes, he couldn't help but smile.

"firefly."

Haruhiko said.

Hoshino Hotaru stood on tiptoe, pouted and looked at her.

It means nothing.

Haruhiko lowered his head and stuck it twice.

Only then did Hotaru Hoshino let go of her hands in satisfaction.

The two men left the room.

The location at this time is the apse.

It is relatively deserted on weekdays, but at this time there are seven people standing.

According to the result of the compromise between the Edo Archaeological Bureau and the Psychic Council, sixteen new exploration teams were established, each with a maximum of 30 people.

As far as Haruhiko knew, the sixteen forces were filled with thirty people, and there was no waste.

The reason why there are only seven people here is because more people are working in the Gaotianyuan ruins.

Their job is very simple, that is to explore and discover new ruins.

Haruhiko was a little uncomfortable with it.

Because all but him are women.

He's too ostentatious here.

"Haruhiko-kun."

Hoshino Rin stood in front of the crowd and waved to him.

Seeing this, Haruhiko and Hotaru Hoshino stepped forward.

"firefly."

Hoshino Rin smiled and touched Hoshino Hotaru's hair.

All the witches turned their attention to the three of them.

Mainly Haruhiko.

Some of them got to know him because of the Kannazuki Festival last time.

But more people are meeting for the first time.

It is extremely rare to see a male at the Izumo Shrine, just like encountering a giant panda in the wild.

Qingyan was sitting on pins and needles.

All kinds of eyes looked back and forth.

Who can stand this?
Fortunately, his ordeal ended quickly.

Hoshino Aoi appears.

A group of priestesses immediately stood up straight without looking sideways.

This shows the majesty of Hoshino Aoi.

"Mother."

Hoshino Rin bowed slightly and said, "Everything is ready and you can go."

In front of outsiders, she would always address her as an adult.

Generally speaking, this is a habit that only big families that have lasted for thousands of years will have.

It is a noble etiquette left over from the past.

"Set off."

Aoi Hoshino said in a cold tone.

Like Hotaru Hoshino, she rarely changes her expression.

Haruhiko used to think that he was born with such a personality.

But after learning some truth from Hotaru Hoshino, he changed his mind.

After the age of 25, the two sisters will never see each other. It is reasonable to develop this kind of character.

Haruhiko didn't want to see Hoshino Rin doing the same, so he had to keep working hard.

He glanced at Hoshino Aoi.

From appearance to now, she ignored him.

It was as if he really was the priest of Izumo Shrine.

But this is obviously unreasonable.

Judging from the reactions of other witches, they didn't know that an outsider would join.

Therefore, why did Aoi Hoshino agree to invite him to join the exploration of the ruins of Izumo Shrine?
Haruhiko couldn't figure it out.

A group of people left the Izumo Shrine through the teleportation array.

When he appeared again, he was already back in Tokyo.

Although there are many entrances to the Takamagahara ruins, they are all concentrated in Tokyo.

In other places, nature is inaccessible.

Hoshino Aoi raised her hand and used a trick to hide the whereabouts of everyone.

The main reason is that the appearance of so many witches will inevitably attract attention.

At this time, they were in the courtyard belonging to the Izumo Shrine.

After camouflaging, go to one of the entrances designated by the Imperial Palace, which is a shopping complex not far away.

Haruhiko discovered that the Edo Archaeological Bureau likes to set up entrances in lively places after visiting the Takamahara ruins a few times.

Maybe this is the so-called big hermit in the city.

The more crowded the place, the more hidden it is, and it is not easy to be found.

Seven people plus Haruhiko and Hoshino Aoi, a total of nine people entered the elevator together.

On the way, Haruhiko learned about the ruins he was going to today through Hoshino Rin.

Located on the fourth floor of Gaotianyuan Ruins.

After the Edo Archaeological Bureau agreed to add a new team, the formation of the sixteen forces was completed at a very fast speed.

Of course, the most unlucky one is Miyamoto.

Within a month, I lost my home.

The Imperial Palace did not care about the vacant places for the time being, so they were sent back to the ground.

Some were tempted to join other powers, and the rest followed Miyamoto Hiroshi into the Utsunomiya clan.

Today's fifteen teams are concentrated on the fourth floor to explore, and the results are good.

There are already seven newly discovered ruins.

Haruhiko is naturally not sure about the specific harvest.

But the number of losses, he knew, had been sacrificed to twenty-nine.

The lowest level of being able to join the exploration team is the third-level psyker.

From this, we can see the danger of Gaotianyuan ruins.

The ruins I went to today are the first ones discovered at Izumo Shrine.

Located in the southwest of the fourth floor, the entrance is a mountain.

Because of the restriction, they have not entered until now.

This is why Hoshino Aoi will end in person.

That restriction cannot be opened by fourth-level psykers.

The entrance alone is so troublesome, and the things inside must have a fifth level.

To be honest, Haruhiko felt more and more strange the more he heard it.

He really shouldn't find an outsider to participate in such a ruin.

Could it be that his relationship with Hotaru Hoshino has been noticed by Aoi Hoshino?
Is it just so peaceful?
Haruhiko has always believed that there are no men in the Izumo Shrine, and Hoshino Aoi will object to him falling in love with Hoshino Rin or Hoshino Hotaru.

But that didn't happen.

So why were there no men before?
Or is it that he will be killed later?
"Haruhiko-kun."

Hoshino Rin's voice interrupted Haruhiko's random thoughts.

He raised his head and took the mask she gave him.

The fourth layer of ruins is unusual, with too much spiritual power, and you need to wear a special mask to breathe.

Although Haruhiko had a mask, he did not refuse Hoshino Rin's kindness.I came to the fourth floor again, and it was the familiar gray weather again.

Located extremely deep below, it is impossible to have sunlight.

Not all black, thanks to the magic of psionics.

Because there was too much spiritual energy in the air, there was a faint light.

Haruhiko followed Hoshino Aoi, and did not chat with the Hoshino sisters.

The main reason is that the aura of this palace minister is too strong and indifferent.

It feels out of place to chat.

In a dim environment, after walking for more than ten minutes, a mountain peak came into view.

Haruhiko raised his head, the mountain was bare without any vegetation, and even the mountain looked quite dead.

When he reached the mountainside, he found a newly opened mountain road.

Rough knife marks can also be clearly seen on the stone ladder.

Haruhiko walked up the mountain road.

The mountain peak is relatively steep, but fortunately, he has the physique of a third-level monster now, so he doesn't feel tired.

He glanced at the Hoshino sisters, and they were also quite relaxed.

When they reached the mountainside, Hoshino Aoi stopped.

"My lord."

The witches who had been waiting here stepped forward and bowed together.

Haruhiko counted 21, and adding the nine of them, there were exactly thirty people.

He was a little stunned, actually including him?
No wonder the people from the Great Imperial Palace didn't ask him when they saw him before.

It turned out that he had already taken the spot.

As for who it is, the Imperial Palace doesn't care, it's up to the Izumo Shrine to decide anyway.

After all, in theory, these sixteen forces are theoretically their bosses.

I can't bother you.

It's just that the better Aoi Hoshino treated him, Haruhiko felt inexplicably frightened.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He believed in Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru, but Hoshino Aoi was not within his trust.

Fortunately, even if something happens, he has a way to escape.

"Where is the entrance?"

Hoshino Aoi asked after nodding.

"My lord, please come with us."

The leading middle-aged miko turned around and walked to the left.

At this time, there is a stone forest halfway up the mountain, which is intricate and maze-like.

Haruhiko felt more like a hedgehog.

They walked through it and soon reached the entrance.

A stone gate embedded in the mountain wall.

If you don't look carefully, you won't even know it's a door.

Haruhiko thought to himself that he was lucky to find this ruin.

"My lord, we have tried various methods before, but none of them worked."

The middle-aged witch guessed, "It should be that we haven't found the pattern, or we can't reach the strength to open the door."

The second half of the sentence is obviously talking about brute force cracking.

They tried to blast away with fourth-level spells, but to no avail.

Not to mention that the door was destroyed, it didn't even have cracks.

Aoi Hoshino nodded slightly, and she took out a Kagura bell.

The overall color is golden, with three layers and pleasant bells.

She opened her lips slightly and chanted a spell, and the Kagura bell in her hand emitted a golden light.

It's like ripples in the water, constantly spreading outward.

After touching the stone door, subtle changes occurred.

There is a scorching breath being generated.

Haruhiko raised an eyebrow.

He thought of Tsuchimikado Mari.

But there is a difference.

Shiranui's fire gave him the feeling of destruction.

In addition to being hot, this breath is also full of vitality.

Haruhiko observed the Shimen in front of him.

A few seconds later, a pattern appeared on the originally bare stone gate.

It is a simple drawing of the sun.

There is a circle in the middle, and there are a few balls of fire floating around.

The spell stopped and the Kagura Bell returned to normal.

Hoshino Aoi's indifferent expression showed a rare hint of solemnity.

When Haruhiko was wondering, he heard Hoshino Rin say, "This is the sign of Amaterasu Omiya."

Amaterasu?

He finally understood why.

In Dongying mythology, Amaterasu is the ruler of Gao Tianyuan and one of the three gods with a high status.

In addition, there are Tsukiyomi and Susanoo.

"The Takamahara Ruins has been developed for so many years, and this is the first time that the symbol of Amaterasu Omisami appears."

Excitement and anticipation appeared on the face of the middle-aged witch.

The ruins of Takamagahara have been identified as the tombs of gods.

But whose, has not yet been determined.

The reason why the Psychic Council has worked so hard is to find the possibility of the sixth level, in addition to the massive amount of psionic materials and psionic tools.

Now the emergence of the Amaterasu Omniscient Standard means such a possibility, no wonder she can't hide her emotions.

After the accident, Haruhiko felt reasonable again.

After all, this is the grave of Yamata no Orochi.

how did it die

Most of it is related to the gods of Gaotianyuan.

It is normal to find this.

"Mother, can you open it?"

Hoshino Rin asked quite calmly.

In front of Haruhiko, she would often show a girlish demeanor.

But now he is the heir of the Izumo Shrine, so naturally he can't panic.

"I know a thing or two about the spells of the Amaterasu Shrine, so I can try it."

Hoshino Aoi looked at the pattern in front of her and said.

Amaterasu Shrine, the god served is naturally Amaterasu Omikami.

In terms of power, it is not much weaker than Izumo Shrine.

Hoshino Aoi began to chant the spell again.

The spiritual energy gushed out and turned into a series of flames, covering the stone gate.

The sun logo above spins instantly.

Tens of seconds later, a divine light overflowed.

The stone gate turned into a crystal gate, which was extraordinarily dazzling.

"opened!"

The middle-aged witch said excitedly.

As the gate rises, what appears is not a tunnel, but an abyss.

There is no doubt that you have to jump.

Hoshino Aoi stepped forward and looked down, but couldn't see the end.

Psychic waves flickered.

A ray of light condensed in her hands.

Hoshino Aoi casually threw it down.

But when it comes into contact with the abyss, it goes out immediately.

She frowned suddenly.

"You guys are waiting for me here."

Hoshino Aoi thought for a while and said.

She jumped down.

Hoshino Rin and the others had no time to stop them, so they could only wait with worried faces.

"Come down."

After a while, her voice came back.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and jumped down one after another.

Haruhiko felt his eyes go dark, and three seconds later, it lit up slightly again.

He stood firm and was already in a dark cave.

The psychic light cluster dropped by Hoshino Aoi before was not far away, providing a faint light.

Is it illusion?

Haruhiko had a flash of doubt.

Placing an abyss at the entrance that serves no purpose?
"let's go."

Hoshino Aoi said.

She walked in the forefront, and at the same time illuminated the surroundings with psychic energy.

The cave seems to be formed naturally, without any traces.

After walking for a few minutes, everyone stopped.

A door and seven corpses appeared before them.

The corpses were staggered here and there, the flesh and blood had disappeared, leaving only dry bones.

But the armor outside is lifelike and contains vague spiritual energy.

"Test the time of death."

Hoshino Aoi said.
