The red tablecloth is spread on the exquisite wooden tabletop, and the exquisite tableware is placed on both sides. In the middle, there are exaggerated gold-plated candlesticks. There is only the fire of the candlesticks in the room, but it does not appear dim. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test

There are huge windows beside the table. Although it is only on the second floor, the view is quite wide and you can see the scenery of Shinjuku Gyoen.

It is still winter now, and the snow has melted. Shinjuku Gyoen Garden has only lonely branches. The small lake reflects the moon, which has a unique flavor.

"Our restaurant serves a Valentine's Day meal today. You can check out the specific menu here. I wonder if you have any taboos for you?"

The waiter professionally brought the two of them a beautifully-bound menu.

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

There seems to be a lot of concern in the menu.

Maybe it was just to meet the situation, so I added a Valentine's Day slander to the front?

"I have no problem here, where is the Kitashirakawa witch?"

Qiao Qiao ate everything without any scruples.

"I'm fine, either."

Kitashirakawa Rika nodded as well, and asked in a low voice when the waiter left.

"Qiao Sang, what is the ban on the food?"

"?"

Qiao Qiao was stunned.

"It's just that you don't like what you eat or can't eat. Well, it seems that the association hasn't told me anything like that, just pretend it's not."

He suddenly felt that if he threw Kitashirakawa Rika into this society alone, he might be abducted in the next second.

No, you have to look at her.

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

Kitashirakawa Rika whispered.

“The dishes here don’t seem to have green peppers.”

Qiao Qiao took a look at the menu in his hand again.

However, many Western foods nowadays are made of molecular dishes that crush more than a dozen strawberries and then make them into grape-like molecular dishes. Qiao Qiao can't say whether there are green peppers.

“Where is this?”

Kitashirakawa Rika looked out the window and asked curiously.

She was wearing a black dress that Yalizi and others helped buy online. It had exquisite lace and black veil on it, and it was white shirt. After she tied up her long hair, she also wore a small top hat.

This is probably Xiaoyezi's taste.

It's pretty good.

Qiao Qiao secretly glanced at Kitashirakawa Rika.

"This is Shinjuku Gyoen Garden, which used to be the royal courtyard, but now it has become a mass park."

Qiao Qiao briefly introduced that I wonder if there would be a drunken teacher and a boy painting shoes in the pavilion on rainy days.

“So big.”

Kitashirakawa Rika sighed.

"In the old days, the swallows in front of the King and Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people. There is an ancient poem in China, which is probably the same. The place of glory and wealth in the past has now become an ordinary place that everyone can go to."

Qiao Qiao couldn't help but sigh.

Since neither of them was twenty years old, they could not drink alcohol, and the restaurant also thoughtfully prepared soft drinks.

Although Qiao Qiao used to think that high-end Western food was just a huge plate to fill a little thing to show off her style, she might not be full at all.

But in fact, one dish after another is served, and the portion is really quite large.

After eating the last dessert and roasted chestnuts, even Qiao Qiao couldn't eat it.

The two walked out of the spot. At this time, the moon was bright and the stars seemed to be visible. Crows and magpies returned in the night sky.

The nights in Tokyo are slightly cool.

Kitashirakawa Rika subconsciously hugged her shoulders.

Qiao Qiao took off her coat and put it on her.

"Thanks."

Kitashirakawa Rika buried her face in Qiao Qiao's clothes, her cheeks slightly red.

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

"Do you want to go to the next door?"

He asked, pointing to the direction of Shinjuku Gyoen.

"Oh? But it should have been closed tonight."

Kitashirakawa Rika was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter."

Qiao Qiao said, then took Kitashirakawa Rika's hand and came to the side door of Shinjuku Gyuyuan.

There are also guards here.

Kitashirakawa Rika originally thought that Qiao Qiao would take him in with her blushing heartbeat plot like those, but she didn't expect Qiao Qiao came to the guards openly and then entered the Imperial Garden after a few simple words.

"Jo Sang, how did you do it?"

Kitashirakawa Rika was stunned and walked on the path of the Imperial Garden.

"I told him that there was a cute lady who wanted to see the night view of the Imperial Garden, so he agreed. Maybe it was because I released the Ecstasy spell."

"?"

Kitashirakawa Rika stood in surprise.

"Just kidding, I told him that there might be resentful spirits here, and I showed my spiritual elimination certificate, so I could come in."

Qiao Qiao explained, then took Kitashirakawa Rika's hand, and the two walked together in the Imperial Garden reflected by the moonlight.

The Imperial Garden is very large, probably because everyone is busy rebuilding their homes during this period, and almost no tourists come here.

The plants and trees that grow naturally reveal vitality. From a distance, there are actually new green buds on the lonely branches.

In the destruction, life is contained.

Under the moonlight, Kitashirakawa Rika came to a pavilion.

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

The girl held the railings of the pavilion and looked at the calm lake, reflecting the moonlight and stars. There was a bright starlight in her black eyes.

"This world is so beautiful."

Kitashirakawa Rika said.

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

"I was actually confused in my past, why should I stay in the Waste Sacrifice Palace and why should I protect this world?"

She turned her head and whispered to Qiao Qiao.

"But now, after seeing these and knowing Qiao Sang, I really figured out what I was fighting for."

Qiao Qiao nodded.

Kitashirakawa Rika slowly walked to Qiao Qiao.

"Qiao Sang, if it's only for tonight, can I make me a little willful?"

"Um?"

Before Qiao Qiao could react, Kitashirakawa Rika had already tiptoed, leaving a kiss on Qiao Qiao's face gently, long and briefly.

......

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

On the side, Kitashirakawa Rika and Ariko were hugging each other and slept very quietly.

On the bed, Sayako's sleeping position was stable, and under the bed, Suzuka made a small snoring sound.

After going to the Imperial Garden last night, the two of them took a taxi back home, and then there was another guerrilla warfare as usual.

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

When I opened the refrigerator, I found something was wrong.

The extra buns I made yesterday disappeared, but were replaced by dough and meat filling.

He returned to the living room and took a look.

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

Qiao Qiao took a look at the time.

It's 7:30 in the morning.

The date is February 14th.
