From just after dark, the Christmas party lasts until half past eight.

What will happen to the two wives next, Toru Watanabe doesn't know, but the three of them are young people and are going to see the lantern show.

The girl takes off her Christmas dress, and Toru Watanabe also changes into a reindeer costume.

Out of the palace-like villa.

The moonlight is clear and clear, and the surroundings are quiet and peaceful, and the hustle and bustle of Tokyo cannot be conveyed here.

The car was already parked at the door.

"How about we walk to Tokyo Tower?" Toru Watanabe proposed.

"Walking?" Miki Kujou crossed her arms.

"Hmm. If I look at the map, it only takes 30 minutes to walk to Tokyo Tower. On the way, we can walk around the mall and see the illuminations along the way. ”

"On Christmas Eve, driving may not be as fast as walking." Rin Kiyono nodded slightly.

"Let's go, then." Miki Kujo doesn't care.

The temperature at night was much cooler than during the day, and the breath of the three turned into white smoke visible to the naked eye.

"What did they say to you after all this time in the kitchen?" Kujou Miki asked, holding her arms.

"Roast suckling pig is delicious, or crab is delicious." Toru Watanabe replied.

Beneath Kujo Miki's red trench coat with a hat is a white shirt with beautiful folds at the chest.

Lower body, slender legs peeking out from under a short brown skirt, wearing black pantyhose.

Walking on the quiet streets on a winter night is like a moving red rose.

"Watanabe-san, which one do you think is more delicious?" Rin Kiyono sighed lightly into the palm of her hand.

"Do you think I have a choice in front of them? What to eat. ”

As the trio walked out of Nagata Town, the streets gradually became lively.

When you stand at a large intersection, you can see a Christmas atmosphere.

The streets are decorated with sparkling lights, and the Christmas songs that come and go from the ears of pedestrians do not know from which shops.

The temperature seems to have risen a lot.

Waiting for the gap between the traffic lights, someone greeted them from behind.

"Kiyono-san, Watanabe-kun, Kujo-san!"

Toru Watanabe turned around and saw Aoi Ichiki waving his hand as he walked towards him.

Behind her are Mai Tomorrow, Asako Hanada, and Tamamo is so beautiful.

Miki Kujou looked at Toru Watanabe.

Toru Watanabe leaned over and whispered in her ear:

"This guy is a lesbian, you be careful."

When he finished speaking, Yimu Aoi and the others just walked up to them.

"Good evening!"

"Good evening."

Everyone simply greeted each other.

"Kiyono-san, where are you going?" The collar of the jacket is a circle of white fluffy tamamo so beautiful asked.

"Tokyo Tower." Rin Kiyono replied in a light tone.

"So do we! Would you like to join us? ”

"That's right, it's so crowded, it's not easy to get separated!" Aoi Ichiki chimed in.

"That's good." Kujou Miki said with her arms crossed.

Toru Watanabe was a little surprised in his heart, how could Mihime Kujo say such a thing?

Before he could cast a questioning look, his arm was grabbed by Kujou Mihime and forced him to walk onto the zebra crossing that had just turned into a street lamp.

"Kiyono-san, you can play with them, my family Watanabe and I also need private space."

Toru Watanabe was dragged away, turning his head to look back.

The people who stood there looked at them in the distance.

Rin Kiyono's lips opened, and finally, closed them again without saying a word.

Aoi Ichiki and Tamamo seem to be proposing which store to eat later, and Hanada Asako nods to the side.

Mai Tomorrow's clear eyes look at this side.

Toru Watanabe withdrew his gaze.

After crossing the zebra crossing, he pulled his sleeve out of Kujou's hand.

"You want to go back?" Kujou Miki asked with a smile.

There was no warmth in her expression, colder than this December night.

Toru Watanabe didn't answer, just took her hand.

"I'm right here, not going anywhere."

Kujou's face softened, her smile gradually warmed, and her eyes became contemptuous.

The two held hands, like ordinary love roads, followed the crowd and walked towards Tokyo Tower.

On the sidewalk, there were street singers in Santa hats singing, and there were many people around, and they also listened for a while.

I've been to Tokyo countless times

The beautiful city you live in

I've been to Tokyo countless times

The city of flowers that bloom in your place

The singer didn't look at the audience, looking at the night sky with an affectionate face, and only occasionally fiddled with the guitar in his hand.

"It's good to sing, but what does it have to do with Christmas?" Toru Watanabe asked, bowing his head.

"How do I know?" Kujou Mihime leaned into his arms, "Maybe it's chasing dreams from other prefectures in Kyoto, and missing my family in the season of reunion." ”

"So, should I sing it too? I've been there countless times...... Not? Hmmm! ”

Kujou Mihime put her hand on Toru Watanabe's lips.

Throwing a 100 yen coin into the case, the two of them continued on their way.

In front of them, there was a family of three.

Dad wears a suit, he should have just gotten off work and hasn't changed his clothes, and Mom wears a long trench coat.

In the middle of the two, the children holding their hands took off from time to time.

"Mom, when is Santa Claus coming?"

"You'll be here tonight after you fall asleep."

"But we don't have a chimney."

"Santa Claus doesn't walk the chimney anymore." Dad lowered his head and said with a smile.

The child turned his head, turned his face and asked, "So where is he going?" ”

"Where are you going? Dad also wants to know, do you want to guess it? ”

"Hmm-" The child looked at the sky and thought, and was led by his parents without looking at the road.

Before he could think of an answer, his attention was drawn to Santa Claus, who was handing out balloons.

The ginkgo trees side by side on the street are decorated with illuminations, like a fairy tale.

When Toru Watanabe and Miki Kujou pass by, Santa Claus also gives the two a balloon.

Toru Watanabe held it in his hand.

"Maggie, at what age did you start not believing in Santa Claus?"

"Before school."

"I thought I wouldn't believe it in the first place."

"Rin Kiyono has a time when she has a pacifier."

"I understand the reasoning, but why use her as an example?"

"Are you reluctant?"

"Please tell me how old she is when she wets the bed."

Kujou Miki first glared at him, and then changed to an uninterested expression: "You can ask her about this kind of thing yourself, and she won't lie anyway." ”

"Just because you don't lie doesn't mean you're going to answer that kind of question, right? Forget it, how do you know Santa Claus is fake? ”

"I made a wish to receive a star, but it never came true, and I got several meteorites with craters."

“...... Santa Claus is pathetic. ”

Miki Kujou raised her elbow and gently pushed Toru Watanabe in the chest, "Then when did you not believe in Santa Claus?" ”

"That kind of thing, I didn't believe it in the first place."

"Miss Ben said to believe it, you don't believe it, do you want to deliberately appear mature?"

"I've never even wet the bed."

"Sure enough, they were lying to me, and they knew that there was no truth. I see that when you confessed, what you said 'you liked me as soon as you met' was also false. ”

Kujou Miki left Toru Watanabe's arms and walked forward quickly.

"Wait, I'm telling the truth!" Toru Watanabe took the balloon and chased after it.

"Mei Ji, Mei Ji, listen to me!"

"I don't listen."

"I really didn't lie to you! How could I have lied to you! ”

Kujou Mihime, who wears a red trench coat, holds her elbows and walks on her slender legs.

"Okay, okay, I'm wetting the bed, I'm wetting the bed."

Kujou Miki stopped and asked him in a cold voice, "How old are you?" ”

"Half a year old?"

Miki Kujo walked forward again.

"One year old, one year old!"

Kujou Miki was very satisfied, and leaned her slender body back into Toru Watanabe's arms.

"It's not easy to fall in love." Toru Watanabe said with a sigh.

"You dare to say this to me if you haven't peed or worn such a thing?" Kujou Miki poked his nose with her fingers, "Lying is like a little bit for me." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Yes? Are you really going to lie to me? ”

"Nope!"

I thought it would take a long time to walk, but in the blink of an eye, I could see the orange Tokyo Tower.

If you stand on it and look down on Tokyo at this time, you will see a river of lights.

There are a lot of people queuing up to climb the tower, but just looking down is enough.

The colorful neon lights are changeable,

The streets are lit up with sporadic lights on winter nights, bringing light and warmth.

Looking at these, all the gloom of this year will be relieved under the baptism of light, and there will be expectations for next year.

When I was distracted, a cold wind blew.

Toru Watanabe was fine, and Miki Kujo's body couldn't help but tremble.

Perhaps feeling cold in her ears and cheeks, she put on the hat on her coat.

Under the brim of the hat, the delicate and small face is even more cute.

That appearance made Toru Watanabe accidentally fascinated.

Kujou Miki noticed the change in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised into a haughty and contemptuous smile.

Toru Watanabe pulled her into his arms, holding the cheek in her hat, his lips gradually drawing closer.

His face was close, and Kujo Mihime's fair face began to waver.

Under Tokyo Tower, her dark eyes reflect the light of the stars.

When Toru Watanabe heard the sound of her heart beating faster, her long eyelashes, trembling gently like butterfly wings, closed her eyes.

The two lips were together.

Watanabe saw bright lights, intertwined crowds, gorgeous Tokyo Tower, and delicate roses.

The world is full of light, the scenery is breathtaking, and everything is romantic and warm.

When the two separated, Toru Watanabe found out that the thin man who was originally holding Kujou Mihime had hugged her at some point.

Kujou Mihime also hugged him, her ruddy face leaning against his arms.

The place where the two are located, warm and romantic. The winter nights are no longer lonely, and the cold winds are no longer bleak.

"Watanabe."

Her voice undulates like the most beautiful melody in the world, and warms like the most powerful Gulf Stream in the world.

Toru Watanabe hugged her tightly and sniffed her hair.

"I'm not going anywhere." His tone was full of affection.

He personally put a ring on Kujou Miki, and if she was there, he would stay here.

Systematic tasks, high-quality New Year's packs, transcendent-level skills, and Toru Watanabe is unwilling to be tied down by anything except himself.

The color of Tokyo Tower changes suddenly.

Miki Kujo pushes Toru Watanabe away.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I'm going back." Kujou Miki arranges her sideburns.

“...... Yes? Toru Watanabe looked at his watch, "It's only ten past nine, I want to stay with you a little longer, if you're afraid of the cold, let's find a restaurant." ”

"Nope."

"Then I'll go back with you."

"Stop." Kujou Miki pointed her finger at Toru Watanabe's forehead, who was about to hug her, "I have to deal with work today." ”

"No," Toru Watanabe was a little speechless, "Can't you take a day off for Christmas?" I'm coming home tomorrow. ”

"It's because it's Christmas that you have to work hard."

"What do you mean?" Toru Watanabe wondered.

Kujou Miki clasped her arms and ordered, "You don't need to know the reason, just listen to me." ”

“...... All right. ”

Watanabe was confused, unable to understand the Queen's thoughts.

Miki Kujo gets into a luxury car that has been parked on the side of the road at some unknown point and merges into the traffic.

Toru Watanabe, who stayed in place, was blown by the cold wind and began to hesitate to continue the system mission.

After thinking about it, he decided to take a taxi back.

I couldn't wait for a taxi for half a day, so I had to walk to take the tram.

Walking on the road, pedestrians looked at him with strange eyes.

Toru Watanabe looked at the balloon in his hand, wondering whether to give it to a passing child or tie it to a certain tree.

If you have a girlfriend by your side, let alone a balloon, even if you take a women's bag and wear high heels, it is not a strange thing.

After walking for five minutes, it was time to pay attention to Toru Watanabe, who was about to eat something, and saw a familiar figure.

Rin Kiyono wears a white turtleneck sweater with a long cardigan sweater and a brown long skirt underneath.

In the street where the lights illuminate the night and the black hair swaying, she is particularly charming.

"Watanabe-kun, why are you alone? What about Kujo-san? Aoi looked left and right.

"She suddenly said she wanted to work, and she went back." Watanabe said with a headache.

"Work at Christmas? Kujo-san's hard work. Aoi Ichagi nodded and said with a little sympathy, "Then what is Watanabe-kun going to do?" ”

"Go home."

"Watanabe-kun lives alone, right? It's okay to go back, so why don't you continue shopping with us? Aoi Kazuki suggested.

Toru Watanabe glanced at a few people.

Tamamo is so beautiful and unhappy; Hanada Asako's little face is nervous; The figure is slender and slender, carrying a small bag on her shoulder, like a city beauty's tomorrow Mai, with an indifferent expression.

"Forget it." He shook his head.

"You're going back to Iwate Prefecture tomorrow, aren't you? Let's play a little more today. Kiyono Rin's tone, the tone said that it was a consultation, but rather an order.

“...... All right. ”

Toru Watanabe followed them back again.

Waiting at the crossroads, Aoi Ichiki proposes to go to Tokyo Tower and eat ramen.

"Watanabe-san."

"Huh?" Toru Watanabe, who was looking at the balloon to pass the time, withdrew his gaze and looked at Rin Kiyono, who was staring ahead.

"You said before that there is no right to choose, what to eat."

"What? Oh, and you who roasted suckling pig and crab thing? ”

"Not having the right to choose, being in misery, facing a desperate situation, I don't think it's a disaster."

"What's that?"

"I think it's time for people to grow."

"A good answer for who you are." Toru Watanabe nodded.

Rin Kiyono suddenly turned her face and looked directly at him.

"What's wrong?" Toru Watanabe was uncomfortable with her.

"If you don't have the right to choose, you just go with the flow, even if this kind of person is glamorous on the outside, he has already rotten on the inside."

"I'm really sorry for you when you're rotten inside."

In the face of Watanabe's joke that diverted the topic, Rin Kiyono laughed: "You told me that the time you miss the most is the days when you work every day, right?" ”

Suddenly, there was a soft cry from the crowd.

It's snowing.

"It is white Christmas! In the cheers, Rin Kiyono pulled his long wind-blown hair behind his ears, and his soft but firm words reached Toru Watanabe's side:

"Whatever you choose, Watanabe, you have to be yourself."

Snow fell between the two.

After a moment of silence, Toru Watanabe sighed and took off his coat and draped it over Kiyono's shoulders.

"It doesn't matter if I do it or not, don't catch a cold."
