Red tablecloths lay on elaborate wooden tabletops, delicate cutlery is placed on either side, and in the center is a pompous gilded candlestick, which is only reflected in the light of the candlestick, but it does not appear dim.

Next to the table is a huge window, and even though it is only on the second floor, the view is quite wide and you can see the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.

It's still winter, the snow has melted, and Shinjuku Gyoen Gyoen has only a lonely branch, and the small lake reflects the moon.

"Our restaurant is serving a Valentine's Day set menu today, and the specific menu can be seen here, I wonder if there are any taboos for the two of you?"

The waiter was very professional and brought the two of them a beautifully bound menu.

Qiao Qiao glanced at it, it was a very regular Western dish...... Well, what is goat's milk bavaro this Valentine's Day?

There seems to be a lot of things to be interested in in the menu.

Probably just for the occasion so a Valentine's Day affix was added in front?

"There's nothing wrong with me here, what about the Kita-Shirakawa shrine maiden?"

Qiao Qiao eats everything without any scruples.

"I'm fine."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa also nodded, and waited until the waiter left, then asked in a whisper.

"Qiao San, what's the taboo?"

“？”

Qiao Qiao was stunned.

"I just don't like what to eat, or can't eat anything, well, it seems that the association hasn't told me anything like that, so let's just treat it as if there is nothing."

He suddenly felt that if he left Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa alone in this society, he might be abducted in the next second.

No, I have to take a good look at her.

"Well, if you want green peppers, I don't like them very much."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa whispered.

"There don't seem to be any green peppers in the dishes here."

Qiao Qiao glanced at the menu in his hand again.

However, many of the current Western food is a molecular cuisine in which more than a dozen strawberries are crushed and then made into grapes.

"Where is this?"

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa looked out the window and asked curiously.

She was wearing a long black dress that Ya Lizi and others bought online, with delicate lace and black gauze on it, a white shirt, long hair coiled up, and a small top hat.

This is probably Sayoko's taste.

Not bad.

Qiao Qiao secretly glanced at Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa.

"This is Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, which used to be a royal courtyard and is now a public park."

Qiao Qiao briefly introduced that he didn't know if there would be a drunken teacher and a teenager painting shoes in the pavilion here on a rainy day.

"It's huge."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa sighed.

"In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people, there is such an ancient poem in Huaxia, and the situation is probably the same, the land of glory and wealth in the past has now become an ordinary place where everyone can go."

Qiao Qiao couldn't help but sigh.

Since neither of them was under the age of 20, they were not allowed to drink alcohol, and the restaurant also prepared soft drinks with care.

Although Qiao Qiao used to always think that high-end Western food was to use a huge plate to hold a little thing to reflect the force, he might not be able to eat at all.

But in fact, one dish after another is served, and the portions are really a lot.

After eating the last dessert, roasted chestnut Mont Brown, even Qiao Qiao couldn't eat it very much.

The two walked out of the point, and at this time, the moon was sparse, and it seemed that they could see the crow magpie returning in the night sky.

The nights in Tokyo are slightly cooler.

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa subconsciously hugged her shoulders.

Qiao Qiao took off his coat and draped it over her body.

"Thank you."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa buried her face in Qiao Qiao's clothes, her cheeks flushed slightly.

The two were about to take a taxi back, but Qiao Qiao suddenly felt something.

"Want to go next door?"

He asked, pointing in the direction of Shinjuku Gyoen.

"Huh? But it must have been closed for the night. ”

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa was a little worried.

"It's okay."

As he spoke, Qiao Qiao took Satoma Kita-Shirakawa's hand and came to the side entrance of Shinjuku Gyoen.

There are also guarded security guards here.

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa originally thought that there would be a blushing and heart-pounding plot where Qiao Qiao sneaked in with him like those, but he didn't expect Qiao Qiao to come directly to the guards in front of him, and after a few simple words, he was able to enter the Imperial Garden.

"Qiao San, how did you do it?"

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa was stunned for a moment and walked in the path of the Imperial Garden.

"I told him that there was a lovely young lady who wanted to see the night view of the Imperial Garden, and he agreed, probably because I had cast an ecstasy spell."

“？”

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa stood in place in surprise.

"Just kidding, I told him there might be a ghost here, and I showed my soul slayer ID so I could come in."

Qiao Qiao explained, took Kita-Shirakawa Rika's hand again, and the two walked together in the moonlit imperial garden.

The Imperial Garden is huge, probably because everyone is busy rebuilding their homes during this time, and there are hardly any tourists who come here.

The naturally growing plants and trees reveal full of vitality, and from a distance, the lonely branches are actually full of new green shoots.

In the midst of ruin, there is life.

In the moonlight, Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa came to a pavilion.

This should be the filming location for that animation, Qiao Qiao thought.

The girl leaned on the railing of the pavilion and looked at the calm lake, reflecting the moonlight and the stars, and there was a bright star in her black eyes.

"This world is so beautiful."

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa said.

The moonlight fell on her face, shining like a jewel.

"In the past, I was actually confused in my heart, why did I stay in the Desert Sacrifice Palace all the time, why did I protect this world."

She turned her head and whispered to Qiao Qiao.

"But now, seeing these and getting to know Qiao San, I really want to understand what I'm fighting for."

Qiao Qiao nodded.

Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa slowly walked to Qiao Qiao's side.

"Qiao San, only tonight, can you let me be a little willful?"

"Huh?"

Before Qiao Qiao could react, Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa had already stood on tiptoe and left a kiss on Qiao Qiao's face gently, long and briefly.

......

Qiao Qiao opened his eyes, and in front of him was a familiar ceiling hanging upside down on the foggy night.

On the side, Sayaka Kita-Shirakawa and Ariko hugged each other and slept peacefully.

On the bed, Sayoko slept steadily, and under the bed, Suzuka also made a small snoring sound.

After going to the Imperial Garden last night, the two took a taxi back home, and after that, it was the same guerrilla warfare as always.

Qiao Qiao tiptoed out of the room, stretched, and came downstairs.

When I opened the refrigerator, I realized that something was wrong.

Yesterday's wrapper, the extra xiaolongbao is gone, replaced by dough and minced meat.

He went back to the living room and took a look.

On the coffee table, two meal coupons are lying quietly on the table.

Qiao Qiao glanced at the time.

7:30 a.m.

The date is, February 14th.
