Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

As the movie drew to a close, the profound emotions and reflections remained in their hearts.

They sat quietly until the image on the screen completely disappeared before slowly getting up and leaving the screening room.

As they left the movie theater, their hearts were still heavy, but they cherished the emotional bond between them even more.

Chapter 446 Xiaoyue: Midnight Snack is Great!

After the movie ended, Kitahara Makoto walked home alone, his emotions still unsettled.

Under the streetlights, he wore a deep contemplation on his face, as if he were still savoring every detail of the movie "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day".

He stopped, looked up at the starry sky, as if trying to find answers in the vast universe. He sighed softly and muttered to himself:

"This movie is truly moving."

As he was lost in thought, Mai Sakurajima and Yue quietly approached him. Mai noticed the expression on Kitahara Makoto's face and asked softly:

"True Lord 24, what are you thinking about? Did the movie resonate with you?"

Kitahara Shin turned to look at them, smiled slightly, and nodded, saying:

Yes, this movie really touched me. The characters' experiences made me cherish the people and things around me even more.

Xiaoyue blinked her big eyes and asked curiously:

"Brother Kitahara, was the story in the movie very sad? Why are you all so serious?"

Kitahara Makoto knelt down, gently stroking Xiaoyue's head, and explained:

"There are indeed some sad parts in the story, but it's mostly about friendship, growth, and cherishing. Xiaoyue, you should also learn to cherish the time you spend with your friends."

Mai also squatted down and added:

"Yes, Xiaoyue. This movie made us all feel the beauty and hardship in life. We should learn to cherish and be grateful."

Kitahara Shin stood up, looking at them with a firm gaze:

"Mai, Xiaoyue, this movie made me understand even more that no matter what difficulties and challenges we may encounter in the future."

"As long as we support each other and cherish each other, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

The three of them smiled at each other, their hearts filled with warmth and strength.

They continued walking, their shadows stretching long under the streetlights.

The three continued walking, and the neon lights along the street gradually became denser, and the number of vehicles and pedestrians also gradually increased, and the city's night began to show its unique vitality.

Soon, they arrived at the parking spot. Kitahara Makoto stopped and turned to look at Mai and Yue.

He smiled slightly, a mischievous glint in his eyes, and asked:

"Shall we go home now, or go get something nice to eat?"

His voice echoed in the night air, sounding exceptionally gentle.

Mai gently smoothed her hair, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

She glanced at Xiaoyue, then at Kitahara Makoto, as if making some important decision.

Finally, she nodded slightly and said:

"Either is fine, it depends on what Xiaoyue thinks."

Upon hearing Mai's words, Xiaoyue jumped up excitedly. Her little hands gripped Kitahara Makoto's clothes tightly, and she said in her childish voice:

"Eat something good! Brother Kitahara, Yue wants to eat, Yue is hungry!"

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if she could already see the delicious food beckoning to her.

Kitahara Makoto and Mai exchanged a smile, seemingly charmed by Xiaoyue's adorable appearance. Kitahara Makoto affectionately ruffled Xiaoyue's hair and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's go eat something delicious. What would you like to eat, Xiaoyue?"

A happy smile spread across Xiaoyue's face. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then excitedly said:

"Xiaoyue wants ice cream and a hamburger!" Her voice was full of anticipation and joy.

Chapter 447 Three's Company at the Night Market

Kitahara Makoto and Mai were both amused by Yue's adorable appearance. Kitahara Makoto said with a smile:

"Okay, let's go get some ice cream and burgers. But first, let's find a nice place to sit down and enjoy them slowly."

Kitahara Shin gently opened the car door, and a fresh night breeze rushed in. He took a deep breath of the night air and felt exceptionally refreshed.

He turned and gestured for Mai and Xiaoyue to get in the car, a gentle smile on his face.

Mai gracefully settled into the passenger seat, adjusting it to make sure she was comfortable.

Xiaoyue excitedly ran to the back seat and hopped and skipped like a lively little rabbit to get into her seat.

Her little face was beaming with a happy smile, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity about the unknown.

Kitahara Makoto got into the driver's seat, gently closed the door, and started the car.

With the roar of the engine, the car slowly drove away from the parking space.

Kitahara Makoto watched the city lights flash by through the car window, a strange excitement welling up inside him.

He turned to Mai and Xiaoyue and said:

"Let's go to the night market and let Xiaoyue experience the lively atmosphere."

Mai smiled and nodded, understanding that Kitahara really wanted to give Yue an unforgettable night.

Xiaoyue clapped her hands excitedly, saying repeatedly:

"Night market! Night market! Xiaoyue wants to go to the night market!"

The car drove smoothly on the road, and Kitahara Makoto skillfully controlled the steering wheel, his eyes firm and focused.

He would occasionally glance at Xiaoyue in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and seeing her excited expression filled his heart with warmth.

Soon, the car arrived at the night market. It was brightly lit, bustling with people, and filled with the enticing aromas of various delicacies.

Kitahara Makoto found an empty parking spot, then led Mai and Yue into the bustling night market.

Xiaoyue's eyes seemed to be taking it all in; she curiously looked around at everything, a happy smile on her face.

Kitahara Shin and Mai were also captivated by the atmosphere. They led Yue through the crowds, savoring various delicacies and experiencing the city's vibrancy and excitement.

Kitahara Shin led Xiaoyue and Mai into the bustling night market, where a lively and prosperous scene immediately unfolded before their eyes.

The colorful neon lights intertwined, illuminating the night sky and lighting up the goods in front of each stall.

The air was filled with the aroma of various foods, whetting people's appetites.

Kitahara Makoto held Xiaoyue tightly with his left arm, afraid that she would get lost in the crowd.

Xiaoyue's big eyes sparkled with excitement as she curiously looked around at everything, occasionally letting out exclamations of surprise.

Her small hands gripped Kitahara Makoto's clothes tightly, as if telling him how excited she was.

Kitahara Makoto's right hand gently held Mai's hand. Their fingers intertwined, conveying each other's warmth.

Mai wore a smile, her eyes filled with trust and reliance on Kitahara Makoto.

They walked along the paths between the stalls, and (Wang Dehao) encountered all sorts of stalls along the way.

Some stalls were filled with candies and chocolates of various colors, and the tempting aroma made people want to taste them.

Some stalls sell steaming hot snacks, such as kebabs and pancakes, which look incredibly tempting.

Kitahara Makoto led Yue and Mai to a cotton candy stall.

The vendor skillfully turned the machine, and in no time, a fluffy and soft marshmallow appeared before them.

Chapter 448 Skewers, two yuan a skewer

Xiaoyue pointed excitedly at the cotton candy, her eyes sparkling with longing.

Kitahara Makoto smiled as he took the cotton candy from the stall owner and handed it to Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue took the cotton candy, took a bite without waiting, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

After buying cotton candy, Kitahara Makoto, along with Xiaoyue and Sakurajima Mai, continued strolling through the night market.

Soon, they arrived at a skewers stall. The stall was bustling with people, and the aroma was irresistible, attracting many diners.

The owner of the skewers stall was a middle-aged man of medium build with a round face and a warm smile on his face.

He was wearing a simple white apron and disposable gloves, busily turning over the skewers.

Kitahara Shin walked up to the stall, looked around, and noticed an empty seat (613) at the back. He then asked:

"Boss, are there any seats left? There are three of us."

The boss looked up at them, smiled, and replied:

"Yes, yes, there are plenty of seats in the back, feel free to sit anywhere."

Kitahara Makoto nodded in thanks, then led Yue and Mai to an empty seat and sat down.

Xiaoyue looked around excitedly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement. Mai sat quietly to the side, her eyes revealing her anticipation for the food.

Kitahara settled Xiaoyue into her seat, then turned to the owner and began ordering:

"Boss, what would you like to eat?"

The owner pointed to the food rack in front of the stall and said enthusiastically:

"They're all one or two yuan a skewer, take whatever you like."

Kitahara Makoto nodded and began selecting ingredients. He noticed that the shelves were filled with a variety of fresh vegetables and meats, their vibrant colors making them look incredibly appetizing.

He picked out a few skewers of his favorite ingredients, and then asked Xiaoyue and Mai for their opinions, picking out a few skewers for them as well.

The owner took the ingredients and began skillfully grilling them.

The skewers in his hands spun and danced on the flames, making a sizzling sound and releasing a fragrant aroma.

Kitahara Makoto, Xiaoyue, and Mai couldn't help but swallow hard, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the delicious food.

Kitahara Shin looked at Xiaoyue's excited face and asked with a smile:

"Xiaoyue, what did you think of the story in the movie? Was there anything that particularly touched you?"

Xiaoyue blinked, thought about it seriously, and then said:

"I think their friendship is so precious! Even though they had a fight, they made up in the end, just like me, Kitahara-nii, and Mai-neechan."

Mai smiled gently upon hearing this, and tenderly patted Xiaoyue's head, saying:

"Yes, Xiaoyue. Friendship is very precious, and we should learn to cherish it. Just like our time together tonight, it's a very memorable experience."

Kitahara Makoto nodded and added:

"Yes, friendship is like these skewers of incense. Although each skewer tastes different, they become delicious when put together."

"We are all different, but we can create more happiness together."

Xiaoyue seemed to understand, and she smiled happily, saying:

"Then let's go out and have fun together more often in the future, and create more happiness!"

Mai also smiled and said:

“Great! We can go to the park, the amusement park, and many more fun places.”

Kitahara Makoto felt a warmth in his heart seeing how happy they were. He said:

"Yes, we can go to the movies, have delicious food, and do more meaningful things together in the future."

Chapter 449 Top-Tier Warm-Hearted Man Kitahara Makoto

Just as they were chatting happily, the boss shouted loudly:

"The skewers are ready, come and get them!"

Kitahara Makoto immediately stood up excitedly. He looked at the skewers in the owner's hand, their aroma so enticing it made his mouth water.

Ready to serve the food on the table.

He first carefully picked up a string of chives, then picked up potato slices and lotus root slices.

He could feel the slight warmth and soft texture of the fresh ingredients as his fingers gently touched them.

Next, he turned to the meat section and picked out several skewers of lamb and pork belly.
