This is not the date I wanted.

To be honest, if someone else were watching this dance, they would probably comment that it was "terrible" and cover their eyes because they couldn't bear to watch it.

Stiff, clumsy, even terrible. Their steps were completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of the music, and their movements were often wrong. If they appeared at a dance party, they would definitely be the focus of everyone's attention in a bad way.

However, Mengyue and Shidao don’t care about these things now.

"Ah, sorry. Does it hurt, Shidou?"

"No. Mengyue's feet are very soft, and it feels very comfortable to be stepped on."

"A masochistic pervert!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

"I'm not praising you, really."

Meng Yue sighed helplessly. In contrast, Shidao had a bright smile on his face.

"By the way, Meng Yue."

"what?"

"Although it's a little late. This dress suits you very well."

“…It’s really too late.”

The two sides looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The dance continues.

Although it was called a dance, what the two were dancing was no longer a ballroom dance.

The tension has long been forgotten.

The stiffness in the body also disappeared unconsciously.

I no longer care about the constraints of dance steps and postures.

As if they were showing off their personalities and expressing their passion, Shidou and Mengyue held each other's hands and danced happily on the moonlit stage.

(I’m really happy, but…)

A song only lasts so long, and there are less than three hours left until midnight. After Yumezuki, Tohka is still gearing up for a date with Shidou.

Liangyi Mengyue knew that no matter how happy or blessed things were, they could not last forever.

This is not just a date, but a date to save Shidou. It is not enough to just enjoy the date. Mengyue must make Shidou's heart beat. However, now that the earphones have been taken away, Mengyue has no way of knowing from Lingyin whether Shidou is moved or not.

"Hey, Meng Yue."

When the dance music was about to come to an end, Shidou suddenly spoke.

"To be honest, I'm very happy to date you, but I don't feel any excitement. If it ends like this, you must be in a difficult situation. I don't mean to make things difficult for you. So, just answer three questions and I will accept the condition of sealing my spiritual power."

"You're really shameless to ask a girl to kiss you and put forward conditions. Never mind... I've agreed. I'll answer if I can."

Although she was a little unhappy with Shidou's arrogant attitude, Mengyue also knew that this was probably her only chance.

"OK, then question one."

Shidou asked with a slight smile.

"Mengyue, what do you think of me now?"

Shidou now? Does he mean the rampage state? Hearing Shidou's question, Meng Yue raised her eyebrows in surprise.

After thinking for a moment, Meng Yue replied.

"That's true, you're amazing. You can control your spiritual power at will, and you're very gentlemanly and considerate to women. With you like this, you can be said to be foolproof whether it's protecting everyone or saving the elves. To exaggerate a little, you are now the most ideal and perfect Shido in the hearts of Kotori, me, and everyone else."

"Thanks for the compliment. Now, question two."

Shidou accepted Mengyue's praise without any modesty and continued to ask.

"So which one do you think is better, me now or me before? Mengyue?"

"all the same."

Meng Yue answered without hesitation.

"Whether it's the clumsy but hardworking Shidou in the past or the perfect Shidou now. To me, Shidou is Shidou, there is no difference."

“…I see. As expected of Meng Yue.”

At this unexpected answer, Shidou couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly.

"Then the last question—"

However, before Shidao could open his mouth, the music that sounded around him entered its end first, and the whole space suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

"..."

"Shidou?"

Seeing Shidou suddenly fall silent, Mengyue couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"The last question..."

As if his courage disappeared along with the music, Shidou closed his mouth with difficulty and spoke out the doubt in his heart.

"…In your heart, what am I? "

“…Does this question need to be answered?”

After a long silence, Meng Yue asked with a wry smile.

"……Yes."

"Is this such an important question for you?"

Shidao nodded silently. Mengyue could feel that the other party's hand around her waist was shaking nervously.

Meng Yue sighed helplessly.

"Well, Shidou, you are an important family member to me..."

"I'm not asking you to answer that!"

Shidou interrupted Mengyue with a voice that was close to a roar.

"Shidou..."

"I know! I know! Meng Yue can only answer this way! Now is not the time to ask such questions! I know all this! But even though I know it very clearly, I still can't accept it in my heart!"

Hate it. Shidao really hates himself now.

Willful, difficult, and unreasonable. Just like a naughty child crying and asking his parents to give up their jobs to accompany him.

But even so, he couldn't stop himself.

"Is it necessary? Is it important? Of course it is!"

I don't want the result, I just want the answer, no matter if it is the answer I expect.

Nothing frightened him more than remaining an ambiguous mystery.

"Because, I am sorry for Meng Yue——"

The words that were about to come out of my mouth were gently blocked by a slender jade finger.

"Okay Shidou, if I tell you, I probably won't be able to control myself."

With a gentle smile on her face, Meng Yue said softly.

"...Meng Yue."

"That's true. It was my fault for not considering your feelings. If I continue to fool around, Gokawa Shido won't be able to move forward. Please... speak from your heart a little."

Taking a deep breath slowly, Meng Yue continued,

“I really like Yamai and the others. Although it’s a little difficult to communicate with Chuunibyou and Muku, every time I spend time with them, I can feel their frankness and sincerity.

I like Nanashi very much. Although she has low self-esteem and is easily negative, this is also her most lovable point. I admire Yoshino very much. Not only is she cute and well-behaved, but she can also show great courage at critical moments. I respect Kotori very much. At such a young age, she stepped into a dangerous world to protect her brother.

I am a fan of Miku. Although her usual behavior makes people feel helpless, she is always so beautiful and moving when singing on stage.

Origami, I am still ashamed of her terrible initiative. I have never met anyone more proactive than her. To be honest, I envy her very much.

Not to mention Tohka, her feelings for you are probably the purest among everyone.

"

After listing all the people one by one, Meng Yue sighed helplessly.

"Every time, I wonder why so many good girls fall in love with you?"

"This one……"

Shidou was unable to answer. However, Mengyue obviously did not wait for Shidou's answer.

"Shidou."

Softly calling out his name, Meng Yue leaned forward and pressed her delicate body slightly closer to his chest.

Under the bright moonlight, the girl in the evening dress was so charming. Her half-exposed breasts, her jade-like skin, her pitiful face, everything about her was so beautiful, so beautiful that Shidao couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Compared to everyone else, my feelings may not be as pure. I won't say that this feeling is eternal and unchanging. But there is one thing I can say for sure."

Holding Shidao's cheeks with both hands, Mengyue gently tiptoed.

"Liang Yi Meng Yue - is in love with you."

On the wall of the room, in the reflection of the moonlight, the lips of the girl and the boy slowly touched each other.

18 A complicated girl's heart

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

Yatogami Tohka was walking in the corridor with hurried steps.

Although she was not as exaggerated as Meng Yue, she was also not used to wearing high heels and dance skirts, and she almost fell several times during the process. But even so, she had no intention of stopping.

Just a dozen minutes ago, no one would have thought that Shidao would leave the banquet hall holding Mengyue in his arms during a date.

After coming to the conclusion that Shidou had not yet left the underground facility, everyone split up and began searching inside the underground facility.

"Where is Shidou... Mengyue...?"

Tohka was looking for the two people along the way, with a look of uneasiness and confusion on her face.

Worrying about whether the two of them were in danger - such emotions were natural. But for some reason, the moment she saw Shidao holding Yumezuki, Tohka felt a feeling she had never felt before.

Why did Shidao leave? Why did Shidao take Mengyue with him? Why wasn't I the one in Shidao's arms at that time?

All kinds of questions surged into my mind along with these feelings, and my chest felt like it was being squeezed, and I felt very depressed and uncomfortable. What was more, I felt very disgusted with myself for having such feelings.

When Tohka heard Origami say that she liked Shidou, the same feeling emerged in her mind.

(What's wrong with me? Now is not the time to worry about this. The most important thing is to find Shidao as soon as possible.)

Shaking her head violently, she threw aside the distracting thoughts in her mind, and Tohka regained her spirit to look for Shidou.

——But... one thing... is certain...

"Eh? What's that sound?"

Tohka couldn't help but stop when she accidentally heard a voice coming from the lounge in front.

"Meng Yue... is here? Then is Shidou here too?"

If it was normal, Tohka would definitely run in and say hello with full energy. But at this moment, she seemed to be afraid of something, took off her noisy high heels, hid her breath, carefully stuck her head out, and looked into the house through the door and window.

——Liang Yi Meng Yue… is…

(Varied--)

For a moment, Tohka couldn't help but stop breathing.

Although because there was only moonlight, Tohka could only barely see the outlines of Shidou and Yumezuki.
