I loaded the dream game

Although elves theoretically don't need to eat, they will still get hungry, right?

Xia Zhi thought about it and took her to the crepe stall.

Fortunately, there were not many people in line, and it was their turn soon.

Xia Zhi originally wanted one, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and asked the boss for five different flavors.

"Eat something to fill your stomach first."

He handed a few bags of crepes to the girl next to him.

Tohka took it, took out one of them, and took a small bite carefully.

The sweet and delicious taste spread in her mouth, and her eyes lit up immediately

“Woo, woo, woo!”

"Swallow what's in your mouth before you speak."

The girl swallowed it with great effort and said to him excitedly, "Xiazhi, this is delicious!"

"is it?"

“It’s sour, sweet, and really delicious!”

According to the girl's description, the first thing that comes to mind during the summer solstice is

Sweet and sour...is it sweet and sour?

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, then shook his head.

...No, it should be yogurt or honey lemon flavor or something like that.

What a pity, he actually wanted to ask the boss for a spicy dish, but there was none.

It seemed that she really liked this kind of sweet food. The girl following beside her smiled unconsciously and even her steps became much lighter.

After a moment, she looked at the vendors lining the streets, ate the crepe in her hand in a few bites, and asked curiously:

"Xiazhi, do all these shops sell crepes?"

"No, the one opposite sells takoyaki, and the one next door sells oden." Xia Zhi replied after taking a look.

"Crepes are so delicious, why don't they sell crepes everywhere?" the girl looked puzzled.

“Because there are other delicious things.”

Xia Zhi thought about it and continued to answer.

“Besides, if they are all the same, we will lose our competitive advantage.”

is it?

The girl nodded thoughtfully, and it was unclear whether she understood it or not.

Then, she happened to glance at the boy next to her and noticed that Xia Zhi didn't have a crepe in his hand.

She lowered her head and looked at her hands

She had almost finished the five portions she had just bought, leaving only this one in her hand.

She hesitated for a moment and handed the crepe in her hand to the boy.

"I'll share it with you." She said this in the face of Xia Zhi's puzzled look.

After thinking about it, she added:

“It’s delicious!”

Of course I know what it tastes like.

"Eat, eat"

Xia Zhi couldn't resist her kind invitation, so he had to pick a place and have a small bite.

"How is it?" the girl asked expectantly.

To be honest, although it is delicious, it is still a little worse than what Natsumi and Mio made... But I definitely can't say that at this time, right?

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

"Yeah, it's really delicious." Xia Zhi nodded in affirmation.

"Yeah~"

The girl showed a happy smile on her face and took the crepe back, but did not continue eating. Instead, she looked at the remaining crepe with a hint of hesitation on her face.

"After you finish eating, I'll take you to eat something else."

Xia Zhi saw what was hesitating in the girl's heart and said this.

She was relieved and swallowed the rest of the crepe in a few bites. Then she looked at Xia Zhi and continued happily.

"Let's go, shall we? Date, date!"

Xia Zhi always felt that she was confusing "date" with "dinner"?

...But it's pretty much the same. Generally speaking, when you go on a date, you just go shopping, have fun, and eat, right?

..... ......... 0

He thought to himself and took the girl to another stall.

Considering the girl's appetite, he would always buy several more portions each time. However, even though he bought so much, it would soon be finished by the girl.

I don’t know how her tiny belly can hold so much stuff.

If I didn't have a lot of money, I would probably go bankrupt after this trip, right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

But on the other hand, although, she always remembers to leave some for herself...Isn't it the case of remembering the person who dug the well?

"Summer Solstice, this way, this way!"

Smelling the fragrance coming from afar, the girl's eyes lit up again, and she pulled him towards another stall, as if she wanted to eat all the food in this snack street.

The girl who was originally wondering what dating was all about is now completely enjoying it.

After a long time, the girl's face was full of satisfaction with her arms full of snacks.

"Is this a date?"

Looking at the various snacks in her arms, she said happily

“I love dating!”

No, that's not right either.

She frowned and fell into thought.

If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be so happy.

The girl looked down at the two people's hands that were still held together and thought so.

So

She looked at the boy beside her and said with a smile again:

"I love dating Xia Yue!"

……Several.

Chapter 971 What is the purpose of a date?

"Hey hoo...hey hoo..."

In a mountain park late at night, a girl walked on the steps on the hillside, stepping on the stone floor under her feet one step at a time.

The sound of small leather shoes stepping on the stone slabs made a "tramp" sound, which echoed in the deserted valley in the middle of the night, making the place seem particularly quiet.

However, with the physique of the young elf girl, she shouldn't be out of breath after climbing such a short hill. So, the so-called "hey xiu" should be just a simple onomatopoeia, right?

Xia Zhi thought so as he looked at the back of the girl walking in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, he shouted in his heart

"Kyouzo?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" The voice of another girl came from my mind.

"No, it's just that you haven't talked much since a while ago, and I thought you were asleep." Xia Zhi replied.

"Because I don't want to disturb your important date, Mr. Xia Zhi."

Tokisaki Kurumi said, and after a slight pause, she changed her tone and said teasingly:

"Or... Mr. Xia Zhi feels lonely because I'm not here?"

Xia Zhi didn't pay attention to the second half of her sentence, and continued: "As a girl like you, it would be very helpful to give you some advice."

"I think, Mr. Xia Zhi, you are much better than me in this area. Compared with you, I am a complete amateur."

Although there is some truth to this, why does it sound like he is saying that I am a scumbag?

"Hey!"

On the other side, Tohka jumped onto the last step and stood firmly on the platform.

"Xiazhi, come up quickly!"

She turned around and extended her hand to the boy, as if trying to help him.

Xia Zhi looked at the stone steps below him, which were shorter than ordinary steps. He did not reject the girl's "kindness" and placed his hand in her palm.

The girl smiled, grabbed his hand, exerted a little force, and pulled him up.

"Successfully reached the summit~" she said happily.

In fact, it didn’t succeed.

Xia Zhi looked up at the mountain that was still a long distance away and thought to himself.

It should be said that we have only reached the park platform halfway up the mountain, right?

But as long as she is happy.

He thought so in his heart, while on the other side, Tohka came to the edge of the platform, leaned on the railing with both hands, overlooking the city in the dark night in the distance, and couldn't help but sighed:

"It's so quiet..."

The brilliant lights of the city in the distance turned into blurry halos that blended with each other, and the flickering lights seemed to be reflected as stars in the eyes.

Bustling, yet exceptionally quiet.

The moonlight and the lights blended together at a certain boundary. The obscured stars were looming, as if they were shining with the lights on the ground.

All I had seen before was a bustling city, but now it has fallen into a deep sleep.

As the boy walked step by step from the bustling streets to the secluded mountain area, from the lively evening to the quiet early morning, the girl, who witnessed the city gradually falling into a quiet sleep in time and space, felt an inexplicable touch in her heart.

She looked into the distance for a long time, finally retracted her gaze and picked up the milk coffee in her hand.

I bought this at a late night coffee shop at the foot of the mountain and it hasn't cooled down completely yet.

The girl blew carefully a few times and took a small sip.

Then, a puzzled expression appeared.

"What's wrong? Is it not tasty?" Xia Zhi asked, noticing her expression.

Tohka shook her head: "It's not that it doesn't taste good, it's just..."

After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "It tastes a little different from what I drank before."

What's that smell? Is it instant coffee? Xia Zhi thought.

"..."

The girl seemed a little disappointed. She shifted her gaze away from the milk coffee in her hand and looked back at the city in the distance at night.

It is a place where hundreds of thousands of people live. In order to accommodate this population of nearly one million, too many facilities are crammed into the small area, making it seem particularly crowded compared to the empty mountain suburbs at this moment.

High-rise buildings, roads, bridges, parks, schools, gas stations, markets, garbage dumps...all kinds of messy things are piled together.

“…like a trash can.”
