Chapter 915 Epilogue: I Loaded the Ghost Story Game (Part 2)

"Sis, let me tell you something..."

Danbo leaned close to Hoshimi and, in a voice only the two sisters could hear, excitedly recounted how she had cleverly relayed messages between the two sides, facilitating the "good thing" of Teacher Afu and Uncle Jinxiong's date that evening.

Her little face was beaming with pride, as if she wanted to be praised for her intelligence.

After listening quietly, Hoshimi paused for a moment in thought.

She glanced at her younger sister's expectant look, then thought back to how her older sister, Afu, had been wagging her tail wildly and seemed flustered just moments before...

In the end, he simply raised his hand and gently rubbed Danbo's little head with its asymmetrical demon horns, with a hint of helplessness.

I could barely accept my sister's "harmless" little prank.

After all, the clumsy and often frustrating development of the relationship between Sister Afu and Jinxiong... with the clever little Danbo intervening and giving it a push, it might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Danbo's smooth black hair was slightly messed up by his older sister's ruffling, with a few strands sticking up unruly. Paired with that asymmetrical little devil horn, it made him look even more quirky and mischievous.

"hey-hey……"

Little Ghost Princess wasn't annoyed at all; instead, she narrowed her eyes slightly, probably enjoying this intimate interaction between sisters.

She both loved and feared Hoshimi, her older sister.

On the one hand, Kamiya Hoshimi does indeed play the role of an irreplaceable "reliable older sister" at home.

She is calm, strong, and meticulous. Her younger siblings, like Tanba, receive meticulous care and protection from Hoshimi as their older sister, whether it's guiding them in adapting to their own growth or providing daily care.

She is a strong support for her younger siblings and someone they look up to.

On the other hand...

Among the Kamiya family's "younger generation" of children, several, represented by Tanba, have reached the age of six or seven.

At six or seven years old, they are full of boundless energy, with destructive power and creativity running rampant, and they are also a mischievous age that people hate.

When Danbo and his friends are naughty and mischievous, they are usually only verbally reprimanded by their parents, elders, or teachers, or at most made to stand in the corner for a while.

Overall, there is more kindness than severity.

But Xingjian saw that this older sister was different.

My older sister really knows how to use her hands... well, no, to be precise, she really knows how to "discipline" people.

It could be a sudden, highly targeted "spiritual energy control exercise" until these little devils are too exhausted to cause trouble; or it could be taking them directly to a quiet and boring barrier for solitary confinement to calmly reflect...

……

Hoshimi had all the kids, including Tanba, line up and leave the school building, planning to take them all to the real world later using the Kisaragi Train.

Outside the teaching building, Danbo saw two familiar figures again—

They were a boy and a girl who both looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The boy was tall and straight, with black hair, a refined and gentle temperament, and a smile that always seemed to be as gentle as a spring breeze on his face.

He wore a navy blue haori and handen hakama, classic and well-fitting, adorned with purplish-red flowing cloud patterns. A mask with protruding fangs and a ferocious expression, resembling a mud-eyed hannya, hung from his waist, creating a peculiar contrast with his gentle demeanor, yet not incongruous at all.

The girl had bright orange hair and a face as delicate as a doll. But unlike Hoshimi's calm and composed demeanor, her temperament was pure and almost icy cold. There were almost no obvious expressions on her small face, and her eyes were calm and still.

She wore an elaborate, well-tailored dark dress and held a magnificent parasol with a red silk canopy steadily in her hand.

"Brother Che! Sister Lin!"

Danbo trotted up to him happily.

Not only her, but also five other children in the group, each with different appearances, who were originally closely following Hoshimi, cheered and surrounded her, chattering affectionately as they called out "brother and sister".

Toru Kamiya is the second oldest child in the Kamiya family.

Rin Kamiya, naturally, is the third child.

Including Hoshimi Kamiya, the three of them are the older brothers and sisters in the family.

In fact, Hoshimi's ability to maintain her unassailable "authority" as the eldest sister in front of her younger siblings is partly due to her calm and powerful aura, clear principles, and her "discipline" style of keeping her word.

But on the other hand, another crucial reason is that Tetsu and Rin are standing behind her.

In fact, in the three-person group of the "older group", Hoshimi, who seems to be the most "strict" and the one who inspires the most instinctive awe in her younger siblings, may actually be the most "gentle" and the one who leaves the most room for maneuver.

Tanba, who usually takes mischief as his duty but has a keen animal-like intuition for "danger," has a deep understanding of this point and has many "experiences" to prove it.

Little Ghost Princess had already clearly engraved an ironclad rule in her heart:

No matter how naughty or mischievous you are, if you cause trouble or mess things up and get "alarmed" by Sister Hoshimi to personally reprimand you, then you should immediately and unconditionally obey, sincerely admit your mistakes, and strive for leniency!

If you still want to be stubborn and try to be cunning at this point...

Therefore, she will no longer face the "moderate" discipline of Hoshimi-nee alone, but the "dual education" from Tetsu and Rin.

First, there's Che-gege. Don't be fooled by his always smiling face; he's actually got a lot of mischievous ideas!

Tanbo's supposedly "cunning and clever" little tricks were no match for Tetsuya's; he would often see through them with a smile as soon as they started.

If the little devil princess were bold enough to plot a prank on this older brother and attempt to "challenge his authority"...

The result is usually only one thing—they are completely turned around and subtly "teased" or "educated" even more severely.

Che-gege's methods may not be drastic, but they are definitely "unforgettable," and the consequences are often worse than being caught by Hoshimi-nee!

To be honest, Tetsu seemed to be looking forward to the little devils in the family jumping out to "outwit" him, but unfortunately, after even a clever little devil like Tanba was repeatedly defeated... Tetsu has become the "intelligence ceiling" that his younger siblings in the Kamiya family would never dare to challenge.

Then there's Rin-neechan...

If Hoshimi-neechan were to discipline someone, although it would be strict, at least she would have some sense of proportion, aiming to correct rather than punish.

So, what if someone is really blind and provokes Rin-neechan to take action herself...

Rin's thought process is usually very direct and efficient. Therefore, her "corrective measures" might be very... hardcore.

Simply put, she doesn't hold back when she hits someone!

There's no "be careful next time" with Rin-nee; there's only physical correction of "fix it immediately."

In short, within the Kamiya family's successor system, Hoshimi is responsible for "reason," Toru for "intelligence," and Rin for "strength," forming a stable and reliable "elderly group" core that inspires awe in the younger siblings.

Therefore, among the younger kids, there circulates a wise saying summarized by Tanbo—

"You have to listen to Hoshimi-nee's discipline, you can't joke with Tetsu-nii, and Rin-nee... when she appears behind you, you're already doomed."

Even so, Tanba's younger siblings were still very willing to be close to Hoshimi and the other two.

After all, even Tanba can't be lectured by his older brothers and sisters all day long.

In fact, in all her life, Little Demon Princess has only been disciplined by Rin once.

This really will only happen once!

……

"Why are Che-nii and Rin-neechan here too?" After cuddling with her older brother and sister for a while, Danbo looked up and asked curiously.

"I've brought you some snacks."

Che laughed, and then together with Rin, they took out the wagashi (Japanese sweets) they had prepared beforehand and distributed them to their younger siblings.

The little ones were overjoyed to receive the adorable snacks and made a ruckus.

After bringing all the children onto the Kisaragi Train, Hoshimi, Toru, and Rin didn't sit idle. They distributed the remaining wagashi (Japanese sweets) to the other descendants of gods or yokai who were studying with their younger siblings.

The train traversed between the mortal world and the present world, and soon arrived at its destination—

A “Joint Education School” that looks no different from an ordinary school on the outside, but has a completely different story inside.

With Hoshimi watching them go and giving them brief instructions, the other children who weren't from the Kamiya family soon went to school.

However, the younger members of the Kamiya family did not leave immediately, but spontaneously continued to gather around Hoshimi and the other two.

"Sister..." "Brother..."

Danbo blinked his eyes, which always gleamed with a mischievous light, and looked his older brothers and sisters up and down.

Actually, it wasn't just the cleverest little imp princess; the other children in the family seemed to have vaguely sensed something—

My older brother and sister probably came here for more than just to bring them snacks.

Hoshino looked at her younger siblings surrounding her and remained silent for a moment. Finally, she spoke, her voice seeming more serious than usual: "The three of us are going on a long trip."

"Where are you going? When will you be back?"

Tanba almost immediately pressed for an answer, instinctively reaching out to grab Hoshimi's hem.

“We’re going to do something big.” Tetsu answered the first question for Hoshimi. He squatted down, looked at Tanba and the other children at eye level, his face still bearing his signature smile, but with a more serious look in his eyes. “It might take a while, or it might… be back soon, it depends on how things go.”

Hoshimi picked up the conversation, her tone regaining its authoritative "elder sister" air, carrying an undeniable admonition: "When we're not around, you must be obedient and not misbehave. Otherwise..."

She paused, then turned her gaze to Rin, who had been silently holding an umbrella beside her with no expression.

“When we get back, Rin will teach you a lesson,” Hoshimi said in a statement of fact.

"Ah."

Rin seemed to have received a clear instruction signal and nodded belatedly.

Che, standing to the side, simply smiled slightly without interjecting.

He knew perfectly well that whether Rin would actually "teach" these brats a lesson depended entirely on his older sister Hoshimi's decision.

Rin's affection for her younger siblings is no less than anyone else's; for example, most of the wagashi (Japanese sweets) bought today were chosen by Rin. However, her way of expressing concern might be too "direct," and she completely trusts her older sister's judgment and arrangements.

And that's how the eldest sister is; she always pulls Rin along, one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop, to scare these unruly little devils who might run wild if you're not careful.

But in reality, she was the one who couldn't bear to see these little devils crying and suffering.

"Well……"

Danbo noticed that when Hoshimi-nee said "Don't be naughty," her gaze lingered on her for a moment.

This is clearly a form of "roll call".

Just as the little ghost princess was about to express her dissatisfaction, emphasizing that she had been very well-behaved lately...

But the thought of not seeing her older brothers and sisters for a while made her feel lonely, and even the wagashi in her hand didn't look as tempting as before.

"Doing something big..." Danbo repeated his brother's mysterious words, then suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he puffed out his chest, "Then I want to go too! Dad said I've become really capable lately, and Mom and Uncle said so too, I'm sure I can help! Take me with you!"

However, before the little ghost princess could fully unleash her ambition, it was extinguished by a cold and direct voice.

"You still have a long way to go."

Rin, holding up her parasol, calmly gazed at Tanbo, her gaze softening for a moment before gently flicking the asymmetrical little devil's horn on Tanbo's forehead with her free left hand.

Ding--

It didn't hurt, but it made Danbo lose control, causing his small body to lean back slightly, and his momentum to weaken instantly.

"Hehe, it seems it's still early." Che pinched his sister's face, which had just fallen, with a hint of comfort. "Let's wait until later. Maybe we can do it together next time when Danbo really becomes strong enough."

"Well..." Tanbo stopped mentioning unrealistic things like "we should go together," and instead held up the beautifully packaged bag of wagashi (Japanese sweets) high in his hand, his little face bearing a childlike expression of solemn agreement, "I'll only eat one of these sweets each day! When I've finished them, you have to come back and buy me new ones!"

"I'll definitely buy you new ones." Hoshimi looked at her younger sister's earnest little face, and her tone softened involuntarily.

"No cheating allowed!"

As Danbo said this, he picked out three of the fruits that he thought were the best looking from his own bag and stuffed them back into his older brother and sister's hands.

"I'll give you food for the road. I...I have plenty more!"

The other children followed suit.

Come back soon!

Be careful!

We're waiting for you!

With a few final words of childlike admonition and expectation, led by Tanba, the group of Kamiya's "youngest" children turned and jogged into the school entrance. (End of Chapter)
