This is not the date I wanted.

It seems that Mengyue is also looking forward to this date...

Although he didn't hear what Mengyue said, but seeing her red ears, even Shidou could understand what Mengyue was thinking.

How cute! While spreading salad dressing on the cheese with a knife, Shidou looked at Mengyue who turned her head away to hide the fact that she was shy, and laughed in his heart.

Ever since she confirmed her relationship with Mengyue, it should be said that she has become shy or more frank. As time goes by, Mengyue starts to act coquettishly towards Shidou more often.

He has become a man worthy of being relied on. Shidao couldn't help but think with some pride.

"No, I do like you. But you are overthinking it."

Meng Yue didn't know when she recovered. She calmly read Shidao's mind, and then without hesitation denied the little pride in Shidao's heart.

Well, even so. Mengyue is still Mengyue... Shidou thought speechlessly.

……

"Ah~ What a nice place~"

The forest path surrounded by trees and flowers is filled with fresh air different from the city streets, and the temperature is very comfortable.

Just taking a normal walk was an enjoyment. Not only Mengyue, but even Shidao couldn't help but relax.

Suddenly, Meng Yue turned to Shidao and said:

"Shidou, let me sit on your shoulders."

"Sit, sit on your shoulders?"

Shidou said with a panicked look on his face.

"Well, it's boring since we haven't even reached the lake yet, so Shidou will help raise my vision level."

"How old are you..."

"Well~ No one saw it anyway. Shidou, you are a man, don't tell me that you can't even carry your girlfriend~"

She spoke these few seemingly provocative and coquettish words from the perspective of a girlfriend, and they seemed simple, but they sealed Shidou's choice of refusal.

If he couldn't carry Meng Yue's weight, there is no doubt that he would be dead in the next moment.

"Well, if Shidou can't do it, then Shidou can sit on my shoulders instead. It's pretty fun anyway."

Well, with Yumezuki's strength, it's easy for her to carry the weight of a man. But if she sits on her girlfriend's shoulders and enjoys the scenery like a child... If he imagines it, even if others don't say it, Shidou feels that he is terrible.

"no way."

Shidao sighed, then squatted down helplessly with his back to Mengyue.

Mengyue cheered triumphantly and sat on Shidao's shoulders.

Because the weather was not too cold, Mengyue was wearing summer women's shorts. Although this relieved Shidao from the worry of seeing Mengyue's underwear (?), the smooth touch of her thighs on both sides of her neck, like silk, made Shidao's cheeks heat up. Didn't Mengyue know that this was a bit too stimulating for the herbivorous Gokawa Shidao?

"Meng, Mengyue...I bumped into her."

"Well, it's natural for lovers to be like this."

"forgive me……"

With a long sigh, Shidao repeated in his mind countless times "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form" before he finally calmed down.

"Hold on tight... Hey, hey!"

After adjusting his posture, Shidao exerted his strength and stood up with Mengyue. To be honest... it was surprisingly light.

"Oh, I see the lake! The lake is over there, Shidou! Go full speed ahead--"

After the horizon rose, Mengyue shouted excitedly like a child.

Well, even so, with Shidou's physical strength, he could only walk slowly. If he sprinted, he would be exhausted in less than 20 meters.

Even so, Mengyue was not depressed at all, and often smiled and waved to passers-by.

Isn't this seen by someone? Shidou thought with a wry smile. Although if the students at school saw it, Gokawa Shidou would most likely become a sacrifice in some kind of witch cult the next day.

But in fact, Shidao's worry was unnecessary. Because this park is a nature reserve, the security system is very strict, so young people who come here to play are not common. Along the way, Shidao and Mengyue met uncles and aunts who had already gotten up for morning exercises or work, and they all smiled warmly when they saw Mengyue. Some even clapped and laughed, saying something like "It's good to be young--". Shidao felt a little embarrassed.

Well, this kind of life is not bad. Looking at the innocent smile on Mengyue's face, Shidao thought from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh! Shidou, the lake is not far away! Pull up the accelerator, start the turbo engine, and go full throttle! A beautiful tomorrow is waiting for us!"

“Do you think I’m a racing car? I told you it’s impossible to speed up! Wait, why is there such a steep downhill slope here?! — Stop, stop, stop. I can’t stop. Aaaaaaaaaa!”

The rubbing of leaves, the gurgling of the stream, and the chirping of birds provide a beautiful accompaniment to the late autumn forest scenery. Among them, the young couple who screamed and cheered, is their date coming to an end... Who knows? ╮(╯▽╰)╭

PS: Um, let me say this, in this game, before Shidou and Maria's meeting, there should have been a plot where Shidou and Maria met. In fact, Shidou and Maria had another conversation before the non-ordinary date. I didn't meet Maria because I arranged to meet Mengyue, and I skipped the conversation with Maria because the contents of the two conversations were almost the same.

PS: In the original game, each character will actually have about three or four dates after entering their personal line, but considering that this is a fan fiction, I will only write two... Strictly speaking, there is only one, which is the true ending of Maria and Juna.

25 Shidao's Choice - Yumezuki Line (Part )

==============================

"Well, let's just rest here."

They walked to the lakeside and spread out the mat on a small lawn with Mengyue.

Then, exhausted, Shidou fell straight down on the mat like a felled tree.

"Ha... It feels so good after laying the mat on the lawn, so soft... ah... I can't get up."

Like a deflated balloon, Gokawa Shido let out a meaningless cry.

Really——Meng Yue sighed helplessly. She sat cross-legged beside Shidao and gently shook his body.

"Hey, get up, Shidou, don't get so tired right after arriving at your destination, okay?"

Shidou managed to hold up his upper body with difficulty, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Sorry... Mengyue, my current physical strength has reached its limit."

Shidao got tired because he was satisfying his whim on the road. Mengyue was aware of this, so she didn't say anything willful and looked up at the sky.

"It's almost time, why don't we have lunch and rest at the same time?"

"Well, that's okay too."

Shidou nodded in agreement, and after turning over and finishing his work, Mengyue took out the lunch box from the basket.

When he opened it, inside were sandwiches, hamburgers, and some side dishes and fruits that Shidao and Mengyue had prepared. The exquisite platter made Shidao salivate at the sight of it.

"Lai Shidao, ah~"

Mengyue handed the sandwich in her hand to Shidao's mouth.

Meng Yue's behavior made Shidao feel a little shy, but now that they were already in a relationship, Shidao naturally had no reason to refuse. With a sound of "Ah~", he ate the sandwich in Meng Yue's hand.

"Ah~ Shidou."

Bite - chew chew ~

"This hamburger meat is also delicious, Shidou~"

Chew chew chew~~

"For a balanced diet, you should eat more vegetables, Shidou~"

... chew chew chew ~

"Well, next, I also secretly prepared a tuna sandwich, Shidou, you should try it too..."

Ah——chewing, chewing... Is there something wrong? Why does Shidao feel like he has become a puppy being fed?

"Well, Meng Yue is happy to feed me. But aren't you hungry?"

After hearing Shidou's reminder, Mengyue, who was immersed in Shidou's feeding, came back to her senses and held her cheek in surprise.

"Oh, no. Shidou looked so cute while being fed. I forgot about eating without realizing it."

"I'm talking about you..."

Should he express his happiness or blame Mengyue for not eating well? Shidao scratched his cheek in distress.

"Anyway, I can't eat enough for two people by myself, so you have to eat well too."

"Hi~"

Mengyue nodded slowly and picked up the tuna sandwich.

"Eh?! Wait, I've already eaten half of Meng Yue's!"

"That's why I eat it. Ham~"

Before Shidou could stop him, Mengyue took a bite of the sandwich and swallowed it bite by bite.

The tip of her tongue gently licked her cherry lips, Meng Yue's cheeks turned slightly red, and she smiled happily at Shidao.

Shidou looked at the girl in a daze, his eyes seemed to be fixed and unable to move away.

"Delicious, thank you for the treat, Shidao."

As for whether the deliciousness Meng Yue mentioned refers to the taste of the sandwich or the indirect kiss, Shidao decided to keep this question in his heart.

"By the way, there's barley tea here. Do you want some, Shidou?"

"Yes--I am indeed thirsty. Also, Mengyue, I can do it myself."

……

"Yoshi - I've had enough. My strength has been restored. Mengyue, do you want to go boating next? There are rentals over there... Mengyue?"

I don’t know when, Mengyue fell asleep on the mat like a kitten, breathing slowly and steadily.

Speaking of which, Mengyue seemed to have said that she had not slept since she got up early this morning. Is she an elementary school student preparing to go on a hiking trip?

Thinking of this, Shidao showed a helpless expression on his face, and gently pushed Mengyue and said.

"Hey, Mengyue, if you fall asleep right after eating you'll turn into a cow."

As if reacting to Shidou's voice, Mengyue muttered to herself.

"Um... Shidou, you can't eat beef raw..."

"Do you think I'm Bei Ye?!"

"Here's the kitchen knife... Remember the position... Then cut again..."

"You can't eat it, so you want me to dissect it directly?!"

"In three years... you will be able to become a master... and participate in... the World Dissection Competition."

"Isn't this a cooking competition?"

After a rather irrelevant conversation, he realized that Mengyue was dreaming and gave up the idea of ​​waking her up.

Because the wind might catch a cold, Shidou took a towel and lightly covered Mengyue's belly.

In the azure blue sky, a few white clouds are floating slowly.

On the crystal clear lake, several small boats are swimming slowly. On the shore of the lake, there are some fishing enthusiasts who are concentrating on the fish markers on the water, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

It's not silence here, but a kind of tranquility that makes people feel comfortable.

Taking a nap here is also a good choice.

Shidou gently stroked Mengyue's hair. The girl grabbed Shidou's sleeve in confusion, with a cute expression like a kitten on her face.

Looking at the innocent sleeping face like a child, Shidou smiled slightly.

Follow your own principles and respect the feelings of others. The girl who seems to be casual and indifferent is actually more gentle and considerate than anyone else.

When I am with her, I can share any joy or any sorrow without any hesitation.

"Shidou...I like it the most..."

"Yeah, I like Meng Yue the best too."

To Meng Yue's question, Shidao responded frankly and gently.

————————————————————————————After bgm, the dividing line to the ending————————————————————————————————

Today is sunny and windy, which is perfect weather for a date.

Standing under the bronze dog statue not far from Tiangong Station, Shidao's face was full of anticipation.

Why? Today's date. Meng Yue took the initiative to ask Shidao.
