This is not the date I wanted.

"What? You scared yourself... Wait! Is there a new cake shop nearby?"

Suddenly realizing something, Shizhi hurriedly checked the address, and then, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

After taking out a few bills from his wallet and handing them to the clerk, Shiori hurried out.

"Wait! This guest!"

"I'm in a hurry! No need to look for me!"

"No! Your friend has already paid!"

————————————————————————I am the dividing line that diverts attention————————————————————

"Ah... what a mistake this is."

On the way to the cake shop, Meng Yue couldn't help but knock her head with some self-blame.

After a while, when the impulse caused by the sex in her brain cooled down, Meng Yue also realized what a stupid thing she had done. Although it was an attempt, if she put herself in his shoes, Meng Yue also knew that her actions were completely sexual harassment. If it caused Shizhi to feel unhappy, then she really deserved to die.

So Meng Yue asked the clerk about the famous dessert shops nearby. She planned to buy some delicious desserts as an apology, and then apologize to Shizhi.

"It's a rare opportunity. Let's buy some more and bring them home as snacks for everyone - huh?"

Walking to the door of the cake shop, Meng Yue saw three familiar figures inside the store through the window. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise.

"Tohka, Origami, Yoshino..."

……

"So, this big cake is better, isn't it? It's delicious and you can eat it to your heart's content. What's wrong with that? Tobiichi Origami."

"You only use the criteria of size and quantity to select cakes. I sigh at your mediocre vision. Yatogami Tohka, in the future you will definitely be turned into a chubby piglet by high calories and high blood sugar."

"What!"

For a moment, sparks seemed to fly between Origami and Tohka.

"Everyone... stop quarreling..."

Between the two of them, Yoshino tried to stop them from arguing with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Hmph, forget about Yoshino. But why do I have to go out with Origami?"

Tohka grumbled a little dissatisfied.

"Isn't it because you made a mess while working in the kitchen?"

Origami replied expressionlessly.

"What—Origami, weren't you the same? You tried to secretly put some strange things in the food, but were kicked out by Kotori-chan after you were discovered."

"That's a nutritional supplement that Shidao needs."

"This...is decided by drawing lots..."

"Oh no! Meng Yue-chan saw us!"

At this moment, the rabbit doll in Shion's hand suddenly looked out the window and shouted. The three people's bodies froze instantly.

"Meng Yue? Oh no, we need to leave quickly—"

"Calm down, Yatogami Tohka."

Origami calmly analyzed the situation while stopping Yoshino and Tohka from panicking.

"The other person is Liang Yi Meng Yue. If you show panic, she will definitely see through it immediately. She can't hear our conversation outside the store, so there is no need to panic."

"oh oh……"

Tohka nodded, not quite understanding.

"That being said, it's still better to leave as soon as possible. If you have no choice, call a truce. Complete the mission according to your choice."

"Yeah. I understand."

……

"What a chaotic combination this is."

The corners of Mengyue's mouth twitched slightly.

If meeting the Yamai sisters just now was not strange, then the group of familiar people I met was really strange. Why did the shy Yoshino and Origami and Tohka, who were like Mars hitting the Earth when they met, go out together?

"Ah... they are arguing after all."

Looking at Tohka and Origami quarreling in the store, and Yoshino trying to mediate, Mengyue couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

(There’s nothing I can do. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ll still go in and try to stop the fight. Yoshino won’t be able to stop them even if she tries to stop them.)

Then Mengyue's eyes seemed to meet Shionai's. Although she couldn't hear what was said, it seemed that she was asking her to come over for help.

"Hi, I'll be there soon..."

"Meng Yue!"

At this moment, a familiar voice and the sound of hurried running suddenly came from behind, making Mengyue turn around in surprise.

"Shiori? Why are you here?!"

However, before Mengyue could finish her question, Shizhi suddenly hugged her in his arms.

(Eh? Ehhhhhhhhhhh!??)

Mengyue was so shocked by this sudden happiness that she stopped thinking.

"Idiot! Why did you leave me alone?"

However, Shizhi's questioning voice with a hint of tears immediately woke Mengyue from her beautiful dream.

"Eh? No, I just wanted to buy some dessert to apologize..."

"That kind of thing is not important! Don't just leave me like that without saying a word!"

"Um, didn't I send a text message..."

"Meng Yue!"

"Yes!"

When her name was suddenly called, Meng Yue couldn't help but respond.

Slightly loosening his hands, Shizhi looked at Mengyue with tearful eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Don't leave me. Since you are going on a date with me today, then stay with me all the time and only look at me!"

——Boom!

Like a bolt from the blue, Mengyue suddenly woke up.

(Yeah, that's right... I'm so stupid. The worst thing you should do on a date is to suddenly leave the other person's side. Isn't that the same as implying that the other person is not satisfied with today's date and it's over?!)

"I understand. Shiori."

Meng Yue took the initiative to hold Shizhi in her arms. She had no evil thoughts. She just gently stroked her soft long hair and answered firmly.

"I won't disappear suddenly again. No matter what you want to do on this date, I will always be by your side and will never leave."

"……real?"

Shizhi leaned on Mengyue's shoulder and asked anxiously.

"real."

“Really…really?”

"really."

"Yeah……"

Looking at Tohka Origami and others who had already evacuated from the cake shop, Shiori immediately felt relieved. The burden of running so fast made her breathless and her speech was intermittent.

"It's really... that's great..."

(I was forced by Kotori to play several otome games all night long before. It was great.)

Dream Moon Christmas (Four)

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

"So how about going to the aquarium next, Meng Yue?"

"...Meng Yue?"

Seeing that Mengyue didn't answer him, Shizhi couldn't help but make a puzzled sound.

"Hmm? Ah, sorry, I was distracted."

After being distracted for a moment, Mengyue responded to Shizhi's voice.

"Hmm - you were looking somewhere else just now, right? You said you were only looking at me, you liar."

As she spoke, Shiori puffed up her cheeks slightly to show her dissatisfaction. As time went on, she gradually understood the role she had to play in this date, and perfectly reproduced the coquettish methods of the heroine in the otome game to capture the hero.

Of course, there are also some true-to-life performances in it.

"That's not true! Of course I was only looking at Shiori. I heard what you said just now. Let's go to the aquarium, right?"

Seeing Shizhi's angry look, Mengyue explained hurriedly.

"So what were you looking at?"

"This one……"

Faced with Shizhi's question, Mengyue looked a little embarrassed.

(Could it be that Meng Yue just happened to see other people in action this time?)

Feeling uneasy, Shizhi frowned and looked in the direction Meng Yue had just looked. What appeared in front of him surprised Shizhi.

"…Marriage experience?"

There is a sign with these words hanging in front of a small church. Perhaps it is a festival activity organized by a nearby wedding photography shop. According to the instructions on the sign, couples can wear wedding dresses and suits in the church and experience a simulated wedding.

"Mengyue, do you want to give it a try?"

Shiori asked tentatively.

"No, no, no! How is that possible? I'm not interested in wearing that kind of light and fluttery wedding dress."

Meng Yue quickly waved her hands to deny it.

"So you want to wear a men's suit?"

"Um...this..."

As if Shiori had hit upon her thoughts, Meng Yue awkwardly looked up at the sky and did not deny it.

(Come to think of it…it was the same back then.)

Looking at Mengyue's ambiguous attitude, Shizhi couldn't help but recall the day when he and Mengyue first met.

At the end of the date with Meng Yue, Meng Yue finally chose to seal her spiritual power because she believed that kissing was a vow that could only be made when getting married.

I remember that Shidou and others were still troubled by the girl's unexpected innocence, but now looking back, maybe Mengyue herself didn't know that what she cared more about was getting married.

"It's a rare opportunity, why don't we try this marriage experience as well?"

"Eh eh eh?!"

Shiori's proposal obviously caught Mengyue off guard.

"Why, didn't you agree to accompany me wherever I go?"

Shiori readily used his advantage as a woman to act coquettishly towards Mengyue.

"Of course!"

Meng Yue nodded without hesitation, then scratched her cheek with a headache.

"But there is an age limit written on it. Only adults over 20 years old can participate."

Although Mengyue has qualified in terms of mental age, the two of them are actually only high school students, so naturally they cannot meet the participation criteria.

"Oh...this."

For some reason, Shizhi did not feel surprised by the key question raised by Mengyue. It seemed that he had already thought of a solution. But for some reason, he let out a long breath with a somewhat complicated expression.
