The metropolis of the Demon Realm is a metropolis-level city that can be compared to the modern outside world. www.biquge.info The highly developed magical civilization of the Demon Realm and the magical talent of the local Demon Realm inhabitants far beyond humans have made the development of the Demon Realm the first to come. Although the first few times I went to the Demon Realm and passed through the metropolis, Yutong Shiai didn't stop, and went to the Demon God Castle where Shenqi was located, and his understanding of the metropolis was only limited to a glimpse of the city.

Today is different, though.

Sitting in a slightly swaying carriage, Yutong Shiai's body is a black slim long windbreaker, heavy materials and decent cuts can be seen from the master's hand. And this trench coat was indeed made by Alice, but it was not used by Alice because it was not exposed at that time.

Yutong Shiai turned her head and saw Alice who was dragging her cheeks and looking outside. Alice seemed to be looking at him just now, and turned back to the window after seeing Yutong Shiai look at him. Seeing this, Yutong Shiai laughed softly, and Alice's face turned red all of a sudden. She glanced at Yutong Shiai with a slight reproach, only to be reached out by Yutong Shiai's hand and pulled her cheek-supporting hand over, almost bringing her center of gravity over.

"Ten, ten, love what are you going to do!"

There was a bit of embarrassment in Alice's tone, and the wrist that was grabbed by Yutong Shiai felt like a fire burning.

"I don't do anything, I'm just in a strange place, and I want to ask the little princess here to be a tour guide for me, a person from the township. The innocent, kind, innocent, cute, and helpful people I know, Her Royal Highness Alice, who will bring outsiders who have strayed into Gensokyo to the world, can't bear to see me lost in the metropolis? ”

“…… My mother told you something before. ”

Alice looked at the smiling teenager with a slight frown, while Yutong Shiai just smiled softly.

"So, Alice, where are we going now, the metropolis is so big, I want to see it."

He took Alice's hand, and pointed the other hand to the metropolis outside the window, which was full of fluorescent magic lamps at night, and the demons and magic messengers walking on the street would also be accompanied by strange light sources.

Alice realized that Yutong Shiai was holding her hand, and his left hand was carefully wrapped around his right wrist, so that he couldn't break free in the first place. The ambivalence of shyness and satisfaction swept over her heart in an instant, and she gently shook the other person.

Yutong Shiai's smile deepened, as if he had gained strength from Alice's backgrip, and he reached out and patted the window leading to the coachman in front of him.

"That's it, Miss Yumeko. Thank you. ”

The blonde maid lady looked back at the two people in the car, and then Mimi smiled and nodded. Then the carriage stopped, and Yutong Shiai opened the door, got out of the car, and then took Alice's hand and led her down.

"Well, I'll go back. Have a nice evening with both of you~"

As she spoke, Yumeko gave Alice an encouraging look, and then flicked the reins, and the horse-like magical creature of magic moved its limbs to drive the carriage forward. The demons and magic envoys on the street also paid attention to the two of them, but it seems that Alice rarely shows up in the demon world when she grows up, so no one notices that the girl wearing the same black dress next to this black-haired boy is the only princess in their demon world.

Yutong Shiai held Alice in his hand and turned his head. He leaned in close to the girl, his shoulders almost pressed together and smiled at her.

"Do you see Miss Yumeko's eyes?"

“………… Look, what to see! I didn't see it! ”

The girl wanted to turn around and walk to the other side, but the hand held by the boy made it impossible for her to escape from the boy's side. She could only stay away half a step, but Yutong Shiai followed like a fly waving away and turning back.

"Don't you see, that's a shame. Miss Yumeko hates to encourage you hard. But now let's go together, it seems that someone has noticed Her Royal Highness. ”

"Huh?"

Alice heard Yutong Shiai's voice, raised her head and looked around, it seemed that some old looking demons and magicians had noticed Alice's appearance, and were showing a hesitant look to come up and ask.

"If we don't want to be watched like we're on the outside, maybe we'll have to run a few steps?"

“…… Really, when I go out with Shiai, I always feel that it won't be peaceful. ”

was said by Yutong Shiai, Alice remembered the embarrassment of being watched by the onlookers that time, and she couldn't care about refuting Yutong Shiai for a while. But as soon as Alice wanted to run, the high heels under her feet made her stunned again. Today's Alice's black dress is knee-length, and below it are smooth and slender calves and jade feet in high heels.

It was almost exactly the same scene as it was at the time, and Alice seemed to notice something, and she looked at Yutong Shiai, who was already looking at her with some amusement, with some disbelief.

“…… Ten loves, did you expect it a long time ago? ”

"Yes. It was only after I quietly pleaded with Miss Yumeko that she agreed to help me change the shoes I had prepared for you into high heels. ”

Yutong Shiai glanced at the crowd gathered around him slightly, and then narrowed his eyes.

"At that time, it was the first time I hugged Her Royal Highness the Princess, but I didn't have the emotions that Her Royal Highness should have. When I think about it, it's really unfair to Alice, so now I feel like I'm going to start here. So the topic that swept the metropolis tonight is called [The girl who seems to be the princess is running on the street with the princess in her arms], right? ”

What a strange topic that is—Alice's first reaction was this.

Then he copied his hands before the girl could react, and held the girl in his arms again. Alice exclaimed softly, but Yutong Shiai had already begun to take steps, and Alice could only hold the other party's neck at once to stabilize her body.

It's like that time. Alice returned to the boy's embrace, and after he wrapped her body with her hands, the feeling of silence in the depths of her memory suddenly exploded.

Just like back then.

Yutong Shiai ran at high speed through the streets of the metropolis, although there seemed to be someone behind him shouting "Please wait a minute! But Yutong Shiai turned a deaf ear to this, and just ran forward with the girl in her arms.

Alice was at a loss, Yutong Shiai held it tightly to her chest, and she could only feel the ups and downs that were not very bumpy, running forward with Yutong Shiai's footsteps. Yutong Shiai's breathing was close at hand, and his hand gently pressed against Alice's leg, and Alice felt bursts of burning sensation reflect back on her skin.

"Ten, ten love us, where are we going!"

The burning heat from the contact parts of her body made Alice a little dizzy, and she didn't even have time to be shy to divert her attention, so she could only ask about the current situation.

"Huh? Now, let's first get rid of the people who see Alice's face behind us, and then we'll find a more upscale restaurant. I inquired about it, and Yuki Sakura told me that the candlelight dinner or something seemed to score very well. ”

"Whoa!?"

Alice was surprised by Yutong Shiai's answer, but before she could say anything, Yutong Shiai accelerated again. Alice looked at the smile on his turned face, embarrassed and annoyed.

"So, that's why do such a thing!"

"I'm just protecting my beloved teenage girl in my own way."

Yutong Shiai's smile has a sense of presumptuousness, he looks at Alice as if her whole face is concentrated with blood all over her body, her eyes are full of embarrassment, and when she looks at Yutong Shiai, she will panic away, but when she looks elsewhere, she will look for Yutong Shiai's gaze again with a sense of insecurity, and it repeats itself.

"I was given the feeling of love by Alice ♂ before, so I want Alice to feel it too."

"Woo woo woo ......"

Alice let out a scream like a ship after being hit by a torpedo, and buried her head in the arms of Yutong Shiai.

"Don't bring it up!"

"Okay, then I won't mention it. Let's move on to the next stage. ”

Satisfied with Alice's performance, he happily hugged Alice tighter into his arms, and then jumped high from the ground. A silver light lit up from under his eyes, and the black-clad boy and girl seemed to shoot sharp arrows out of the air, and the magicians and demons who were chasing after the boy also rose into the air after that.

There are also all kinds of magic cars moving slowly in the sky of the metropolis, and because of air traffic, individuals are generally not allowed to fly, so in the face of such a situation, the traffic sirens in the metropolis sounded all of a sudden.

“…… Ah, isn't liftoff allowed here? ”

The embarrassed Yutong Shiai asked the local in her arms a little embarrassed, but Alice just hammered him.

"It's all your fault! Are you stupid!? ”

"I'm sorry~"

Yutong Shiai didn't mind, but the silver light shone brighter and brighter, and he slightly calculated the impression in his mind according to the map of the metropolis provided by Miss Yumeko, and then smiled slightly.

"It's a metropolis, but it's a lot more difficult than when I was in Tokyo."

Then the silver light in the young man's eyes suddenly exploded, and after Alice was dazzled for a while, the two of them had stopped. Yutong Shiai put down Alice, but did not withdraw the hand that had been on the back of her shoulder. Alice shook slightly as she stood up, obviously not getting used to the high speed that Yutong Shiai finally used to shake off everyone's chase.

Although there was no weightlessness or overweight during the explosion, and there was no cold wind, the sense of confusion caused by the rapid spatial displacement was still a little dizzy for the puppeteer with good perception.

She held her forehead slightly and looked up. The two of them landed on a rounded balcony, and in the room inside the balcony was a long table lit by lit candles. The room was elegantly decorated, with a patterned carpet on the floor, and a small bright yellow flame on the top of the cylindrical candlestick on the long brown table.

"It's ......"

Alice couldn't react a little, after she talked to her mother before, she was taken by Yumeko to meet the people in the Demon God Castle again, and then Yutong Shiai didn't know what to say to Shenqi, and Alice was driven by Yumeko to change this dress. Later, he was stuffed into the magic carriage and came to the metropolis with Yutong Shiai.

This is like rushing to the field, which makes Alice a little unable to react, not to mention that Yutong Shiai's series of actions after getting off the car made her dizzy. Now looking at the prepared desktop, she remembered what Yutong Shiai had said before.

[And Yuki Sakura also told me that the candlelight dinner or something seems to score very high]

Yutong Shiai's hand ran over the back of her shoulder, down her arm, and then gently grasped it.

"So, may I ask if I can have dinner with Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Demon Realm?"

His hand was very light, as if he was afraid of hurting Alice, but Alice knew that such a light grip could become a jerk to pull her into her arms in the next second, if needed.

"So what the hell are you doing, Ten Loves."

Alice was a little awkward, she was back to normal now, and she felt extremely ashamed of what happened between herself and Yutong Shiai, but Yutong Shiai's actions after that were full of all kinds of vigorous and resolute actions that caught Alice off guard.

"Let's sit down and talk about these things slowly."

Yutong Shiai took Alice's hand and walked into the empty room, he took Alice to sit down at the table, and then pushed the chair forward for her, and then sat down opposite Alice.

The candlelight illuminated the two people slightly, but there was no way to do it perfectly. Alice looked at the white round plate in front of her and the knife, fork and napkin on the side, and then looked at Yutong Shiai. As if she was infected by the wonderful atmosphere rendered by the dim candlelight, although there was no lyrical music in her ears, she also soothed along with it.

She just looked at the teenager in front of her.

The boy under the candlelight was tilted his head, and his eyes, which were originally black, should not shine at all under the too dark candlelight, but Alice had the illusion that it was shining. It's an illusion, it's better to say that Alice knows it from the bottom of her heart, it's because Yutong Shiai is watching herself.

The closed door, the curtains that were pulled up by Yutong Shiai at some point, the closed space, the burning candles, the shaking candlelight, the fragrant vase, the soothing atmosphere, and most importantly, the body has been watching at him, as if everything in this world no longer exists, only Alice within the range of the candlelight in front of him is what Yutong Shiai wants to look at. His eyes were expressing such a message, and Alice knew that she knew that he wanted to express it to herself just by looking at it.

Yutong Shiai has never had such a thorough ability to express his heart, he has never been so straightforward, not passionate, but Alice can't resist looking at Alice at all. Even when he lifted Alice up and smiled so bluntly before.

Alice vaguely sensed that Yutong Shiai wanted to say something that was most important to him today.

"What, have you calmed down?"

The sound waves from Yutong Shiai's side seemed to have been heated by candles, echoing in this silent space, and with a slight temperature, it seemed to gently pour warm hot water on Alice's heart.

She almost wanted to let her body go soft and relax like this.

"Hmm."

The feeling of comfort makes Alice not want to keep her brain running, as long as she doesn't work, she won't remember many things, she just needs to listen to his voice, just need to see his eyes, and know that she has been watched by him, so that no matter how long it takes, Alice can stay like this forever.

Yutong Shiai gently supported her face with her hands and looked at Alice like this.

"Alice in the Demon Realm has a completely different feeling from Gensokyo."

"What's so different?"

Maybe it's because Yutong Shiai's gaze is too gentle, and the atmosphere he created is too stable, Alice also smiled with Yutong Shiai for a while. She adjusted her sitting position slightly, and her hands rested steadily on her legs, meeting Yutong Shiai's gaze, enjoying his gaze.

"yes, what's the difference, I'm thinking about that too. But before that, Alice, it was clear that she had been away from the Demon Realm for a long time, but why did there still be so many people in the Demon Realm who knew you? ”

“…… I don't know very well, probably because I used to be familiar with people in the demon world, right? ”

Alice smiled lightly, Yutong Shiai didn't ask, looked at Alice's smile, and nodded.

"Then let me tell Alice what is the difference between Alice here and Alice from Gensokyo."

His eyes were still like that, and he didn't take any of them off Alice, and the feeling of being watched by his loved one made Alice almost feel like a dream. The faint fragrance of flowers, the glimmer of candles, and the gentle whispers of Yutong Shiai all made Alice feel an emotion constantly swirling in her heart.

The desire to know how the other party thinks of herself as a Gensokyo humanoid and herself as a princess of the Demon World gently stirs in her heart.

"You know, Alice."

Yutong Shiai's voice teased Alice's heart like a feather. Alice felt like she almost wanted to find a way to scratch it.

"Alice in the Demon Realm is a princess. It's the daughter of the demon god.,It's a stubborn girl who wants to use her own efforts to be worthy of the name of the princess of the demon world.,It's a child who is pampered by Ms. Shenqi.,It's also the people of the demon world.Even if it's been so long.,Even if you experience the death of the upright, you'll definitely be promoted by Ms. Shenqi to let them know that there is such a princess who makes people in the demon world proud.。 ”

“…… I'm going to be irritable when you talk about that, too. ”

Alice closed her eyes, raised her chin slightly, listened to the other party's compliment, and felt that the whole person was fluttering.

"Irritable or something...... No, don't say that. ”

Yutong Shiai seemed to deliberately stagger a topic that he seemed to want to talk about, and instead talked about the topic just now.

"Next up is Alice from Gensokyo. Alice is actually very popular in Gensokyo. ”

"Popularity or something, it can't be compared to Sanae in the East Wind Valley, right? That kid is quite popular in the world. ”

Alice pouted. As soon as Yutong Shiai talked about this matter, she remembered the high popularity of Sanae in the east wind valley in the world. At that time, after Sanae Dongfang appeared in Gensokyo, Alice raised a very high level of vigilance against Sanae in Dongfenggu, so she was also quite worried about the fact that Sanae Dongfang was very popular in the world.

"Alice thinks so, then I'll tell you something. Does Alice remember the head of the Kiri Rain family, who is Marisa's father? ”

Yutong Shiai's eyes showed a little smile, and the corners of his mouth also flashed with playfulness.

"Although it is said that this head of the house has been taught a lesson by Alice with a very unceremonious puppet army, but this head of the house does not hold a grudge against Alice, and the last time Sanae and I went to his store, he was actually on Alice's side."

“…… Obviously his family's ancestral training is not allowed to touch magic, but he is willing to stand by my side? ”

Alice frowned. Yutong Shiai smiled and shook her head, rejecting Alice's speculation.

"I'm not talking about Marisa, I'm talking about us. Last time, the head of the house whispered to me that he wanted Alice to be with me at the festival. ”

“…… Huh? ”

A stunned expression appeared on Alice's face, and the image of her, who had finally calmed down, became strange again. Yutong Shiai looked at the expression on the girl's cute face, and the smile became more and more intense.

"So, Alice, the beautiful magician Alice, who has been performing puppet shows for children in the world for so many years, doesn't she know that she is the dream girl of everyone in the whole village?"

"Oh...... I ......"

Alice seemed to be unaware of this, and Yutong Shiai looked at her a little panicked, knowing that she hadn't expected all this.

"Isn't it normal that no one confides in Alice, after all, Alice has always been the one who is not close to the living, and she lives in a place like the Enchanted Forest every day that ordinary people can't go, and she is not a human. But that's why I waited until I did. ”

Yutong Shiai straightened up, with a warm smile on her face, and looked at Alice who was confused.

"So, the magician who has been lonely for a hundred years, the dream lover in the world, the humanoid who likes children, this is you, my best friend Alice in Gensokyo. But now, maybe something will change......"

With that, Yutong Shiai stood up, walked around the table, and walked to Alice's side. Alice turned her head to look at him at a loss, and then exclaimed in surprise in the sudden half-kneeling of Yutong Juai.

"Alice."

Yutong Shiai raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her. Alice's face was still red under the candlelight, her eyes were flustered and didn't know where to put it, as long as she made eye contact with Yutong Shiai, she would move away as if she was burned, but if she didn't make contact with Yutong Shiai, she would involuntarily look for the intersection of her gaze again as if she was longing for something.

Yutong Shiai stretched out her hand, grabbed Alice's hand that she didn't have time to dodge, and held the other party's hands in her own hands.

"What do you think, in the world, to tell those who have always been thinking about you and worrying about whether you have been so lonely all this time that you have someone who can accompany you, and then let them see your grand wedding?"

After Yutong Shiai said this sentence, the emotion that had been circling in Alice's heart for a long time broke through everything in Alice's heart, what past and future, what shame and unwillingness, all of them were abandoned by her, she just stared wide-eyed, stiffly running her thinking, thinking about the meaning of the words that the young man said just now.

…… This is a marriage proposal.

It's a marriage proposal!!

Alice's heart was about to burst with emotion, she was obviously trembling all over her body because of this violent emotion, her fingers were numb, and her heart was aching, but she just couldn't say the words she promised.

It was a very strange feeling, just like because too sudden a surprise would catch people off guard and not be able to react to the surprise, Alice was the same, the coveted inquiry was in front of her, but no matter how she dreamed and imagined, when she really arrived in front of her, those previous imaginations were always useless, her heart was still beating and flying out of her chest, she was still short of breath, but she was speechless.

“…… Isn't it possible? ”

Yutong Shiai tilted her head slightly, still with a smile on her face. He didn't seem to think about whether Alice would reject him, and only asked in a tone that seemed to tease her. But Alice didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't have the ability to think about it, she just heard the other party ask if she wanted to refuse.

This sentence was a spring that pressed on Alice's heart. Alice still couldn't speak, and in annoyance, she got up from her chair with anxiety on her face. But because she was in such a hurry, she seemed to forget that she was wearing high heels prepared under the design of Yutong Shiai today, and she stepped on it crookedly and almost fell, Yutong Shiai hurriedly raised her hand to support her and took Alice into her arms.

"Alice, no...... Hmm—"

Before Yutong Shiai's concern was fully spoken, Alice had already hooked his neck and handed over the answer to Yutong Shiai with action. Yutong Shiai looked at the girl in front of her frowning and desperate in front of her, hugging herself tightly, and offering her lips, and then the night sky in her eyes also softened, one hand around her, the other hand held the back of the girl's neck, and gently accepted her reply.

The candlelight is lit, and the kiss is dinner.

ps: The eyes of caring for a single dog [look in the mirror

I'm a person who has never had a first love, so why am I writing such a rancid story?
