This is not the date I wanted.

"Ah...it's okay."

"The acting is quite exaggerated."

"Um... have you been discovered?"

Seeing that his performance was seen through, Shidou scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

"You were staring at the floor just now, didn't you think I noticed? And Kotori-chan once said that you had a lot of fun teasing her when you were visiting the haunted house with her."

"Ah ha ha……"

Shidou could only respond with a dry laugh.

"Why do you say you're afraid of ghosts? If you were afraid of ghosts but claimed you weren't, I would understand. But I don't understand the other way around."

Meng Yue asked with some curiosity.

"Um... didn't someone say 'the guests who get scared in a haunted house are also part of the fun of the haunted house?'" Shidao turned his head away and confessed a little awkwardly, "I was worried that you might find it boring here, so I pretended to be scared to make you happy..."

"Want to make me happy..."

Hearing this, Meng Yue opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Then, Shidou heard Mengyue's chuckle.

"...Meng Yue?"

Looking back at Mengyue, I saw her pretty face illuminated by the dim candlelight, and her amber eyes were swaying with a cheerful smile.

"I'm sorry, you misunderstood my attitude. It's a rare date, and you always say some unromantic things. Don't worry, I think it's fun here."

"That's it."

Hearing Mengyue's answer, Shidao breathed a sigh of relief.

"And after all..."

After looking at Shidao, Mengyue didn't say anything else for some reason, but changed the subject.

"By the way, Shidao, since we all know these things are fake, why not add some settings to the next ghost that appears? Maybe it will be more immersive."

"Add settings?" Shidou was a little confused.

"Well... for example, this."

Mengyue came to a coffin in front. As if it sensed the approach of tourists, the coffin opened. Along with the special effects of bats flying across the ceiling, a vampire-like dummy bared its fangs and made a cry towards Mengyue.

"Don't be fooled by the vampire's current appearance. She used to be a devout nun who believed in God."

Meng Yue pointed at the other person and said seriously.

"Huh?" Shidou looked confused.

"The nun's mother was a prostitute who mingled in the streets of prostitution. After giving birth to a baby girl, she didn't know who the father was and didn't want to take responsibility, so she left the baby in front of the convent to die."

"This parent is such a jerk!"

"Fortunately, the nuns in the monastery were kind enough to adopt her. In the monastery, the girl spent a happy childhood and became a gentle, pious and compassionate nun."

"That's great……"

"However, when the nun was fourteen years old, her body suddenly showed signs of abnormality. She began to lose the taste of normal food, and for some reason developed a strong desire for blood."

"what happened?"

"It turns out that the nun's father was a vampire that the world feared. He accidentally had sex with the nun's mother and gave birth to a child, so the nun inherited his vampire bloodline."

"This is super expanded... and it actually seems to be rounded off."

"The nun, who had no idea what was going on, thought she was possessed by a demon and kept trying to control her urge to suck blood. She was tortured by intense hunger every night and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she couldn't stand the pain anymore and fell asleep. When she woke up again, the most beloved livestock in the monastery had suddenly died after being sucked dry of blood. After realizing what she had done, the nun had no choice but to leave the monastery in order not to hurt anyone else."

"She must be in great pain..."

"However, the curse of the vampire would not let her go. In order to relieve her hunger and thirst, the nun traveled around and secretly sucked the blood of livestock to survive. But after a long time, it still attracted the attention of the church, and a demon hunter was sent to hunt down the nun."

"Mengyue, please let her go."

"Originally, the nun was about to die under the knight's sword, but perhaps her last tears touched the knight's heart, so he let the nun go and placed her in a remote monastery, teaching her how to control her instincts and live on."

"Very good……"

Hearing this, Shidao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But Meng Yue's supplementary settings didn't seem to end, but continued.

"After finishing everything, the knight prepared to leave. The nun asked him anxiously where he was going. The knight just smiled, touched her head lovingly, and swore to God that he would be back soon."

Hearing this, Shidou had a bad feeling.

"In this way, the nun lived in this monastery, sucking a little blood from animals during the day, and confessing her sins before God at night, waiting for the return of the knight."

"A week has passed."

"Two weeks have passed."

"A year has passed..."

"Ten years have passed..."

"A hundred years have passed..."

"The cold winter blew, and then spring came. After countless seasons, the vine-covered God seemed unable to withstand the erosion of time and collapsed, leaving only the nun kneeling on the ground like a stone sculpture."

"Tears silently fell from her cheeks. The girl, who had lost all her spiritual support, said this..."

Having said that, Meng Yue pursed her lips slightly, lowered her head, placed her hands on her chest, and made a praying gesture.

Then, a choked low moan reached Shidou's ears.

……fraud.

"Sistera ...

Shidou's defense was broken in an instant.

"——Well, it's like this. Try adding some settings. It instantly becomes more interesting, doesn't it?"

Meng Yue raised her head and spoke calmly, as if those words were not spoken by her.

"It's too heavy! The setting is too heavy! Meng Yue, this is no longer just adding a setting!"

"Hmm? Will it? I think I have restrained myself. Otherwise, when the nun left the monastery, I was going to set it so that all the other people in the monastery were killed unconsciously by the nun."

"...Are you a devil?"

Sighing tiredly, Shidou turned to look at the vampire. He didn't know if it was because of the influence of Meng Yuejia's story setting, but when he saw the hideous expression on the dummy, Shidou was not afraid, but instead felt a bit of pity.

"In the end, why didn't the knight come back to find her?"

"Who knows? I haven't thought about it in detail. Usually he died while trying to hide the truth. In fact, even if he didn't leave, the nun couldn't be redeemed in the end. This is basically the ending of the vampire curse."

"Is that right?"

"That's it."

"but……"

"Oh, I really can't do anything about you."

Seeing Shidao becoming sad, Meng Yue shrugged helplessly, picked up a large skull model next to the coffin, and told the story with great emotion.

"In fact, this skull is the remains of a dead knight. After going through untold hardships, he finally returned to the nun before his death."

As she spoke, Meng Yue placed the skull into the coffin and then closed the lid.

"Okay, now we've been reunited. Congratulations~ Congratulations~ Okay Shidou, let's keep going."

"Mengyue, you...are alright."

Hearing Mengyue's perfunctory ending, Shidao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also understood that she was taking care of him, and felt a little relieved.

(Hopefully this doesn't count as vandalism.)

PS: Um… I was planning to write this to give out sweets, really. But I let myself go unnoticed along the way…

For example, the following paragraph:

"Speaking of which... Meng Yue."

"what happened?"

"This vampire... appears to be a male."

"..." After a moment of silence, Meng Yue said seriously, "I changed my gender because of extreme sadness!!"

"That's too casual an explanation!"

"Then he used magic to go back in time and had sex with his own biological mother!"

"Don't turn a beautiful tragedy into a thriller!!!"

Mengyue IF——Reconciliation with Christmas (Part 3)

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

"Kotori, is it appropriate to place this thing here?"

"Ah, it's a little off. Move it a little more to the left."

"Miss Kotori...Is it okay to cut the ribbon like this?"

"Yeah. Very good. Keep it up like this."

While Shidou and Mengyue were dating at the amusement park, the elves from the Elf Apartment also gathered at Goka's house to decorate the living room.

"It's great that Darling and Honey are having a date at the amusement park by themselves." Miku laid on the sofa, swinging her legs and muttering with regret, "Haunted house, carousel, Ferris wheel - the two must be building sweet heart-pounding memories right now, right? I really want to go too."

"Miku..." Seeing Miku's expression, Kotori said helplessly, "Although I don't force you to help decorate the living room, but don't be so lazy. You're such a big person and you're taking up a big sofa. It's a bit of a hindrance."

"Hey--Aren't you curious about Kotori-chan? Honey and Darling's date?"

"I, I didn't--"

"Answer me. Xixian, I'm very curious."

Unlike Kotori who said one thing and meant another, Yui admitted her thoughts very straightforwardly.

Seeing that someone supported her idea, Mijiu immediately nodded with shining eyes.

"Right, right! Kotori-chan, don't you have that device that can observe the condition of the elves? Can you help us broadcast Darling's current situation?"

"Of course not." Qin Li said speechlessly, "Let's not talk about protecting personal privacy. Even if we really use cameras to monitor, Sister Meng Yue will definitely find out."

"Hmm...why is this happening?"

She sighed a little frustrated, but Miku quickly pulled herself together and got up from the sofa.

"Forget it. In that case, let me come and help, and use my massage skills to relieve everyone's fatigue. Nanashi-chan~ Let me help you feel comfortable."

"Eh—No, no need! Don't come any closer to me!"

Hearing this, Qi Shi's body stiffened and he slid back without hesitation.

"Really... I hope I'm not making things worse."

Kotori sighed helplessly.

"Kotori."

At this time, Origami from the kitchen waved to Kotori.

"What's wrong Origami?"

"How do you feel about seasoning tonight's meal?"

"Yeah, that's good. Just go with the feeling."

After taking a sip from the small bowl Origami handed over, Kotori nodded and replied.

"Ok."

Hearing Kotori's affirmation, Origami breathed a sigh of relief and continued to process the remaining ingredients.

"But it's really unexpected that you would help me so honestly. I thought you would definitely follow me to the amusement park."

"I agree. Yui also thought that Master Origami would do the same."

"Ahahaha, even if it was me, I wouldn't do such a rude thing."
