Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

The two walked hand in hand in the airport parking lot, their figures appearing exceptionally harmonious under the lights.

While couples around them were embracing and kissing or whispering sweet nothings, Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai were immersed in their own little world.

They were enjoying this sweetness and happiness that belonged to them.

This Valentine's Day was especially meaningful for Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai, as it witnessed the deep affection and boundless love between them.

They know that as long as love exists, every day can be Valentine's Day.

As the footsteps drew closer, Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai finally arrived at the parking lot.

Kitahara Makoto stopped and gently tightened his grip on Sakurajima Mai's hand, his gaze tenderly falling on her face as if admiring a rare treasure.

"You must be hungry after such a long flight, right?"

Kitahara asked with concern, his brows furrowing slightly, revealing a hint of worry.

Mai Sakurajima nodded slightly, a tired but satisfied smile on her face.

She opened her mouth slightly, about to answer, but Kitahara Makoto beat her to it.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

As Kitahara Makoto spoke, he took Sakurajima Mai's hand and walked towards the car.

His steps were firm and powerful, as if he were leading her into a wonderful new world.

Mai Sakurajima was being pulled along by Makoto Kitahara, her face beaming with a happy smile.

She turned her head slightly, looking at Kitahara Makoto's profile, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth. She knew that as long as he was by her side, wherever she went, he would be her warmest harbor.

The two walked to the car, and Kitahara Shin gently opened the car door, gesturing for Sakurajima Mai to get in first.

Mai Sakurajima obediently got into the car, gently straightened her skirt, and then looked up at Makoto Kitahara.

Kitahara saw that she was seated, so he walked around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat... He started the car and slowly drove out of the parking lot.

The street scene outside the car window gradually blurred in the night, but the interior of the car was filled with warmth and sweetness.

"I've made a reservation at your favorite restaurant, is that alright?"

Kitahara asked as he drove, his tone full of anticipation and excitement.

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima's eyes flashed with surprise. She nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, then I'll do as you say."

Her voice was soft and sweet, like a spring breeze blowing through Kitahara Makoto's heart.

The car weaved through the night, and couples around it strolled hand in hand through the streets and alleys, or embraced and kissed on the benches by the roadside.

Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai sat in the car, separated by a 2.9-meter window, but their hearts were closely connected.

"You know what? I miss you terribly every time you leave."

Kitahara Makoto suddenly spoke, his voice low but full of sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima felt a warm current surge through her heart. She gently leaned on Makoto Kitahara's shoulder and whispered:

"Me too, I always feel especially reluctant to leave you."

Her voice was filled with longing and reluctance.

Mai Sakurajima sat in the passenger seat, her voice light and cheerful as she recounted the little pleasures she encountered on the journey.

Inside the car, Mai Sakurajima's voice rang out softly as she recounted the little pleasures she encountered on her journey.

The customs and traditions of those foreign lands, their delicious food, and the hilarious stories.

Kitahara listened quietly, nodding and smiling from time to time, his gaze never leaving the road ahead.

He would occasionally chime in with his own insights or share some of his travel experiences, and their conversation echoed in the carriage, warm and harmonious.

As time went by, the car slowly drove into the neighborhood where the "Atmosphere Restaurant" was located.

The plane trees lining the streets swayed gently in the night breeze, making a rustling sound.

In the distance, the restaurant lights shone through the windows onto the floor, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.

Through the car window, Mai Sakurajima saw the lights of the restaurant in the distance, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes:

"Is that our destination for tonight?"

Kitahara Makoto nodded:

"That's right, it's that 'atmosphere restaurant' you like the most. I've already made a reservation, I hope you'll enjoy it."

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima smiled happily.

Several vintage chandeliers hung in the porch, casting a soft glow. As the two entered the restaurant, it felt as if they had stepped into a secluded and romantic world.

Their arrival immediately caught the attention of the waiter, who greeted them with a smile and warmly led the way.

Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai exchanged a smile and walked hand in hand into this night full of surprises.

The waiter had a smile on his face, wore a neat uniform, and had the restaurant's logo on his chest. You could tell at a glance that he was serious and enthusiastic about his work.

He stepped forward, bowed slightly, and spoke in a gentle and polite voice:

"Good evening, sir and madam. Welcome to 'Atmosphere Restaurant', room 507. I am your waiter. Are you Mr. Kitahara Makoto and Ms. Sakurajima Mai?"

The two followed the waiter through the spacious and bright restaurant hall. The carpet under their feet was soft and thick, and every step felt like walking on clouds.

Abstract artworks hung on the surrounding walls, adding an artistic touch to the space.

The waiter led them to a window seat with a view of the bustling night scene outside, where starlight and neon lights intertwined, adding a unique ambiance to their dinner.

Exquisite tableware and a bouquet of flowers were already set on the table, emitting a faint fragrance that made the whole space more cozy.

The waiter smiled, gave them a slight bow, and his eyes shone with enthusiasm.

"Happy Valentine's Day, both of you! I'm your waiter tonight, what would you like to order?"

Kitahara Shin nodded, indicating that Sakurajima Mai should order first.

Mai Sakurajima smiled as she took the menu and gently flipped through it, her gaze sweeping across the menu as if she were choosing the dish that best suited her taste.

"I'd like to try your signature steak, and this escargot gratin; it sounds delicious..."

Mai Sakurajima pointed to the dishes on the menu and said.

The waiter smiled and nodded, then looked at Kitahara Makoto:

"Sir, is there anything you would like to order?"

Kitahara Shin responded with a smile:

"Like her, I'd also like to try their signature steak. Also, please bring us a bottle of the red wine I recommended before."

The waiter nodded again, quickly noted down their order, and said with a smile:

"Okay, please wait a moment, your food will be served shortly."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai to enjoy this rare moment alone.

Soft jazz music began to flow through the restaurant, adding a touch of romance to the entire space.

Kitahara Shin and Sakurajima Mai exchanged a smile, as if all their troubles and worries had vanished in that moment.

They knew that this Valentine's Day night would be a beautiful memory that would last forever.

While waiting for their food, soft jazz music flowed gently around them like a babbling brook.

Mai Sakurajima gently put down the menu in her hand, a happy smile on her face. She turned to Makoto Kitahara and began her "rambling".

"You know what, Kitahara, this trip was absolutely amazing."

“I never imagined that I would get lost on the streets of Taigu and then stumble upon a small coffee shop. The aroma of the coffee there is so unforgettable that I still can’t forget it.”

Mai Sakurajima's eyes sparkled with longing for beautiful memories.

Kitahara Shin smiled as he looked at her, as if he could read every detail of her heart:

"Yes, the streets of Batavia are always full of romance and surprises. But I bet you were really worried when you got lost, weren't you?"

Mai Sakurajima gently shook her head:

"Actually, no. When I realized I was lost, I suddenly felt a sense of relief."

"I can explore this unfamiliar city as I please, instead of following a predetermined route."

“You know what? I even found a hidden art museum at the end of an alley, where some very creative works were on display.”

Kitahara was captivated by her description, as if she herself were in that art-filled alleyway:

"That must have been a very special experience. Sometimes, getting lost is a reward; it allows us to discover the beauty we usually overlook."

Chapter 327 Happy Valentine's Day to Both of You

Mai Sakurajima nodded and continued:

"Yes, and I also tried some local specialties."

"You know what? I ate the most delicious Thai snails in a small shop. The texture was indescribable."

"I also went to a traditional French bakery where the bread had a crispy crust and a soft interior; every bite was pure bliss."

Kitahara listened with great interest, as if he himself were tasting those delicacies:

"Hearing you say that makes me a little hungry. However, I'm sure their signature steak and red wine won't disappoint us."

Mai Sakurajima smiled and nodded:

"Yes, I'm also looking forward to the food here. But more importantly, I can share these wonderful experiences with you."

"I think that's the meaning of travel; it makes us cherish the people and things around us even more."

Kitahara Shin looked at her deeply, his eyes filled with love.

"You're right. Whether it's traveling or everyday life, I feel incredibly happy whenever I'm with you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if all words had become superfluous at that moment.

They knew that their feelings for each other had been conveyed through these "casual chatter".

On this special Valentine's Day night, they felt an unprecedented sense of happiness and fulfillment.

Shortly afterwards.

The waiter walked briskly toward the window seat where Kitahara Makoto and Sakurajima Mai were sitting. He was wearing a neat uniform.
