Chapter Thirty-One: The Photograph

  Ryūgū's true name, a killer on the battlefield, a shrine maiden, I never thought I'd run into her here.

  "Why is he here? Of course, it's for dinner." He replied naturally.

  Yeah, I'm really stupid, asking such a silly question.

  No, it's not like that, I asked this question because... I'm too nervous.

  The first date with Xiaona, although it was under the guise of practice, but after all, it was the first time dating a girl, so it's natural to be nervous, and the underlying meaning is that I didn't want to run into acquaintances.

  Result...

  "What are you doing here at this hour? You should still be on patrol." Longgong Zhenming asked curiously.

  I took a glance at her and found that her face had turned bright red, as if she would explode with a loud bang the next moment.

  It's already impossible to expect her to answer this question.

  "I came here naturally for dinner." I replied.

  "So he skipped patrol."

  "It's really hard to say." My eyebrows slightly furrowed, I carefully replied: "Anyway, it's also boring, and my stomach is hungry too."

  Cannot let the other party see any flaws, absolutely cannot.

  The Dragon Palace was silent for a moment, without saying anything.

  It seemed that Setsuna had also snapped out of his earlier unease and tension, although his face was still a bit red, but much better than before.

  "By the way, this is our first time here, are there any recommendations?"

  Long Gong thought for a moment and mentioned several dishes, with a particular emphasis on curry.

  "Is the curry here delicious?" I asked.

  "I don't know." An unexpected answer.

  "You don't know."

  "Of course, I'm also here for the first time."

  "This answer is really annoying." My forehead was twitching with anger as I forced myself to say, "If you don't know, then don't talk nonsense."

  "It's what you asked me to recommend."

  ……

  I lost to her, I really lost to her.

  "Ah-ha!" Ryūgū no Shinmei seemed to have remembered something and stretched out his hand towards me.

  I stared at her in confusion, "What?"

  "Referral fee!"

  ……

  Author, can I beat her up? Can I beat her up, I'm about to say that I'll beat her up right away.

  "Here!" I put a hundred-yuan coin in her hand and said, "Commission fee, no change needed, the rest is just a tip."

  She accepted a hundred yen with an unknown attitude, and solemnly put it in her pocket.

  Then said "I've finished eating, you guys enjoy slowly," and left the restaurant.

  After Long Gong Zhenming left, he immediately let out a sigh of relief and gradually returned to normal.

  "You were so nervous just now." I smiled and said to Satsuki: "Does the Dragon Palace make you that nervous?"

  "No! Not that, I didn't mean it." Suddenly flustered and wanting to explain something...

  At this moment, the waiter standing beside finally couldn't help but speak out: "Excuse me, sir, can you order now?"

  Seeing the waiter's gloomy face, I and Satsuki suddenly turned bright red.

  "Then, let's have curry." I said, gesturing with my hands and feet.

  "Understood, two curries for the guests at table fifteen." He said, and then turned around to leave.

  After enjoying a midnight snack together, the two of them left the restaurant and strolled around several places.

  For example, game halls and amusement parks, oh right, two people also took a few large stickers together.

  To tell you the truth, he's really cute.

  When taking a sticker photo, the machine prompts you to lean towards one side, and suddenly your face turns red, standing awkwardly in place.

  I don't know whether I should move closer or step back, but it's really cute anyway.

  When the machine was counting down, I suddenly pulled Sana over to me. She lost her balance and half of her body leaned against mine.

  Crack!

  The screen suddenly came out, and the captured lens was very beautiful. The two people looked very intimate leaning against each other.

  Just like a couple.

  "How's that? Isn't it cute?" I split the sticker into two halves, putting one half in my own pocket and handing the other to Moment, "Here, this is yours, take good care of it."

  He hastily turned red in the face, stuck his big head down and then put it into his own pocket.

  Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but tease: "Don't lose it, this is the evidence of our first date."

  Suddenly, with a loud crash, a large amount of steam burst out.

  "About about about about about about... what's about... practice... dating..."

  Completely confused language, completely unclear what I am saying.

  When parting ways, she was still immersed in confusion, and even walking was unsteady.

  It's really hard for her to say that she has been practicing swordsmanship for over a decade in order to protect Mokuren, and basically hasn't had any interactions with boys at all.

  Thinking about it this way, I should also be considered one of the boys who are very close to Satsuki.

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a silly grin on my face, which must look quite strange.

  This can be seen from the strange gaze of passersby around.

  When they returned to the wooden house, Yi Wanjie and Chacha were still awake, with Chacha waiting on them at the side.

  After seeing me come in, they didn't even raise an eyebrow, this master and servant are really tacit.

  "I'm back." He said loudly to them, but didn't hear the expected response.

  That's right, I'm still quarreling with Chachaomaru. If it were in the past, Yumeno would definitely not say anything, but Chachaomaru said something very intimate: "Welcome back!"

  But in these few days of cold war between the two people, it's been a long time since I've heard Chacha say something like that to me.

  The conversation between two people seems to have decreased a lot, it's just like strangers.

  This feeling is really depressing.

  "I'm back, Chacha." I said softly, watching her carefully.

  Don't mind me, it's as if I'm just air standing here.

  "I'm back, Chacha." I raised my voice involuntarily.

  Cha Cha stood quietly on the spot, as if she had fallen asleep.

  I'm back!!!!!

  "Ahhhhh!!" A shrill cry pierced the air, a flying dagger whizzed past my ear and lodged itself into the wooden door beside me.

  The hilt was shaking violently with a buzzing sound.

  Tea leaves flutter in mid-air, staring at me with a series of "heh heh heh", their pupils full of murderous intent.

  After seeing clearly it was me, the murderous intent gradually dissipated, "What's this, so it's you, get down!"

  "You're not qualified to order me around!" I said loudly. "And what was that just now? Did you want me to die?"

  "Shut up, shut up, it's just dying once or twice, you're not like you've never died before."

  That's what they say, but it still feels really uncool.

  "Give me some quiet." Irritated Yvaine said, and suddenly there was silence.

  As a result, I still didn't make up with Chachamaru tonight, sigh~~~~
