i have a date with leader jae

Lupine's Bar that night.

The white smoke that always permeated the store enveloped the narrow place like a badger's nest as usual.

Empty wine bottles on the walls are dotted with blinding light from ceiling chandeliers.

The waiter sometimes walks around with a tray, and the bartender in front of the bar wipes the glass with a rag, and turns around to mix the drink occasionally. The whispered conversations of the guests blend into the background of this scene, like water droplets dripping into the lake, disappearing easily.

After recording the order from the customer, the waiter returned to the bar and handed the menu to Shimoba's table: "Miss Ogihara, No. 3 Zacatini."

"receive."

Frost Leaf hurriedly poured the excess ice cubes in the shaker into the stainless steel bucket at his feet, then put the absinthe on hand aside, took another bottle of orange-yellow wine from the shelf, and began to hang down Moolai patiently prepared the cocktail according to the needs of the guests.

She didn't go anywhere that night, but came to the bar to work.And Dazai didn't take the initiative to mention any time and place related to the meeting with her.

But in her heart, she had an inexplicable premonition that she could meet him here.

Perhaps it was fate, in order to accommodate her guess, until the moment when she decorated the glass of Sakaitini with triple twisted grapefruit peels on the side of the glass of Sakaitini that the guests needed, and then handed it over to the waiter. There came the sound of light and regular footsteps.

In a few seconds, a young man in a black coat walked out of the shadows. He was very well dressed, but his forehead was wrapped with a bandage that only the wounded had.Holding a bouquet of bright red roses in his arms, he looked around the store with his beautiful iris-colored right eye for half a circle, and finally stopped at Shuangye with nostalgia.

"I gave it to you at noon, do you still like it?"

Dazai gracefully sat down at the nearest exclusive position, and at the same time held the rose in front of Shimoba, looking at her with a pure smile in his eyes.

Shuangye paused for a moment, then temporarily put down the work in his hand, and took the rose in his hand.

The rich fragrance rushed towards the senses immediately, she took out a rose and inserted it into the horizontal glass vase between the two, and then put the bouquet on the chair inside the bar, and took it away after get off work.

After completing this action, Frost Leaf raised the hair on her cheeks, turned her head and said to him, "I can't put so many roses here."

Dazai was plucking the delicate petals of the rose between them at this time, and he responded in a good mood: "If you can't let go, you can throw it away, anyway, I just want to give you away."

"...You are too wasteful." A certain migrant worker felt his heart ache.

"You don't need to save me money, I will send it to you every day."

Dazai raised his eyelids, curled up his pale thin lips, and smiled sweetly at her, "Although roses have a shelf life, my sincerity doesn't and won't."

"..." What else could she say, being rich is self-willed.

"What do you want to drink this time?"

"Little Shuangye, you decide."

Hearing what he said, Shuang Ye decided to just give him a glass of simple distilled wine and forget about it, saving the tedious work of bartending.

Taking out the ice cubes from the freezer and putting them in the palm of his hand, Frost Ye turned around and drew a chisel, following the correct steps to chisel the ice ball on the spot.And on the way, Dazai seemed to have let go of all the burdens, leaned over to the table, put his chin on the folded arms, and watched her standard movements without shifting his eyes for a moment.

Staying where he could see her, his expression was unprecedentedly relaxed.

"Is the job done?"

"Basically... the rest is left to the subordinates, the one you saw last time."

They exchanged information about what happened to each other in the past few days since they parted. Although the things were small, they didn't feel bored at all.

On the contrary, it is very strange, it is clear that the man in front of her is no longer in the form of a cat, without the magic power that can make her discard her IQ rua belly, and can no longer be by her side day and night, but Shuangye doesn't think that each of them As a result, her heart gradually drifted away, but she was always accompanied by a place within reach, so that she would not feel lonely.

The chat between the two went around half a circle, and Dazai finally decided to get down to the topic of his coming tonight.

"Little Shuangye, can you be free in two nights and go on a date with me? There is a gift that I want to give you no matter what." Dazai couldn't help but smile and narrow his eyes when he thought of that scene. The dark circles under the eyes formed by staying up all night have become much cuter, "I think you will like it..."

But Shuangye interrupted his intoxicated thoughts at this moment: "Dazai."

She did not choose to meet the young man's eyes, but lowered her head and carved the ice puck in her hand, as if she was facing a solemn act.

"Are you really sure you don't regret spending your time on me?"

Shuang Ye said slowly, the clear ice crystal of the same color was reflected in her silver eyes, letting the light rotate repeatedly on the edge of the chisel, "Your knowledge of me is just based on the memory of another parallel world, right?"

"But I'm not 'me'. Even if I have similar looks and personalities, encounters and backgrounds will completely change me."

After finishing speaking, Shuang Ye finally raised her eyes to look at him, her plain eyes seemed to be able to penetrate this person.She put the perfectly carved ice ball into the glass, and when the ice ball rolled to the bottom, it made a crisp sound.

"What you're actually looking forward to is 'the future that will make you happy'—bet on me, but it's very likely that you will lose everything."

As the person involved, she thought that she had done her best to advise, but Dazai, the black-haired young man in front of her, did not show any flinch in his eyes until half a minute after listening.

But with a little bit of helplessness, sadness, and fragile fragility.

"Because you gave me the courage." He said bitterly, "If you haven't tried it, how would you know?"

Shuangye replied indifferently: "I just stayed awake, convinced that I would no longer be at the age of losing my mind for love."

She poured a proper amount of distilled wine into the glass, and the clear and clear liquor covered three quarters of the glass, and the ice cubes were soon slightly suspended.The light reflected on the surface of the ice hockey quietly transitions into a dazzling halo.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm not as beautiful as you imagined... Instead, I'm a bad woman who is only fit to struggle in darkness and mud?"

The record player in the store was playing soothing music, but the two people facing each other across the bar were in a state like the rose plant on the table at this time, full of confrontation, probing and entanglement between each other.

He should have retreated.

Otherwise, she really couldn't take it anymore.

However, even though driven by her resistance, the man who still wanted to break into her world had a pale face, as he did in Lupin that day, and carefully held her hands that pushed the wine.

Regardless of the fact that the rose's thorns will pierce him bloody, he cherishes it as if he is welcoming the long-awaited treasure that has finally arrived in his arms.

Obviously he himself is a coward who is afraid of being rejected.

"How do you know I'm not on your side?"

He slowly raised his eyelids, staring into her eyes very calmly.

The kite eyes, which were covered with pitch-black shadow, seemed to be suppressing deep and extremely melancholy emotions, about to turn into an overwhelming cold madness that would overwhelm people.

But Dazai suddenly smiled.

"Even if you do all kinds of bad things, so what?" Dazai raised his lips carelessly, and added without regard to any morals and ethics: "I am willing to be your accomplice for the rest of my life."

"..."

The heart that had been silent for a long time began to pound again, and it was as loud as if I heard the waves and tides in my ears.

After a while, Dazai's chin was gently lifted.

Shuangye, who made this action, looked down at this outspoken man who didn't know what to do, and finally came to the crushing moment full of uneasiness.

"You are very brave—" she couldn't help but said, "To be honest, this is the first time I have been posted like this."

Dazai gently rubbed Shimoba's palm, "Then what's your answer?"

After looking at each other for a few seconds.

"...Thank you, I was touched."

Shuang Ye withdrew her hand, and under the guy's reluctant gaze, she folded her hands indifferently, "You won, I just happen to be free on the weekend—"

"That day, it belongs to you."
