Shinji himself couldn't quite define what a date was.
In his opinion, dating is just a boy and a girl hanging out together to deepen their relationship, it's that simple.
According to this statement, Shinji and Elquet should be considered dating during this period.
A man and a woman left home and traveled around the world alone. Although they were hunting vampires and looking for treasures that could control their blood-sucking urges, how could vampires, monsters hiding in the shadows of humans, be so easy to find
Apart from those old monsters with a great reputation, fixed territories and huge influence, finding two or three small fish a month is considered very lucky. Most of the time outside of hunting, the two of them were playing. It was just that the way and place of playing were different, sometimes in the real world, sometimes in the spirit world, sometimes just to see the scenery, and sometimes to do something and cause some trouble.
Since he was not in the Clock Tower, Fuyuki, or China, Shinji's temper was relaxed. Now he could understand the feelings of his strange compatriot. It was fun to make trouble in an unfamiliar place, even though it didn't make much sense.
But since Elquet formally proposed a date, we can't follow such broad standards. We have to be more formal and strict.
But the problem is, he really doesn't know what is formal and strict. After thinking about it, he can only apply the rules summarized from various anime.
"It is said that there are three places you must go to on a date, collectively known as the three major dating sanctuaries, namely the aquarium, the amusement park, and the cinema. It just so happens that this city has all of them. Where do you want to go first?"
Standing at the waiting area outside the hotel, Shinji looked at the map and asked Elquet. The latter thought for a moment and answered.
"We've all been to the amusement park before, so let's go to the aquarium first."
"Okay, let's go to the aquarium first."
To be fair, the aquarium is a great place where you can see many aquatic species that you don’t usually see. Coupled with the dim and quiet environment, a day can pass by quickly for both men and women without them noticing.
Even if he and Elquet had superb physical qualities, they should be able to get through the morning at least - that's what Shinji thought.
However, less than an hour later, the two walked out of the aquarium.
It's not because the aquarium here is too small, but -
"So boring, so boring, Shinji. There's nothing interesting about this big house except water and fish. If you want to see fish, we can go to the sea, which is much bigger than this."
Well, for a living god-level being, the daughter of the Earth, this is the case.
Shinji sighed helplessly: "Although I have already told you in advance, I should still apologize. I'm sorry for boring you."
"It's okay, it's okay, I wanted to try dating myself, you're just accompanying me." At this time, Elquet was very understanding, "So, where are we going next? The movie theater?"
"I'm already bored, do you want to continue?"
"Of course, the date isn't over yet. You said you'd spend the whole day with me."
"Yeah, let's go, I hope there's a good movie showing today."
There is a cinema not far from the aquarium, which can be reached in more than ten minutes on foot.
On the way - or in the present tense, people around cast their eyes over here. The reason has been mentioned before, Elquet is undoubtedly a great beauty.
When he realized this, Elquet suddenly moved closer.
"What's wrong?"
"Their eyes look a little weird."
"You don't care about that, do you?"
"I'm concerned after hearing what you said. Now, Shinji, if something goes wrong, will you protect me?"
Are you sure I'm the one protecting you, not you protecting me? You can crush me with one hand without using the mutually destructive sympathetic tactic.
However, under such circumstances, Shinji could not possibly say such a spoiling thing. He bowed slightly, took the princess's hand, and whispered:
"Princess, please allow me to be your knight and protect you."
"Oh, from today on I am also a knight." The pure white princess cheered, and this was the opportunity for the birth of the "Blue Knight".
Throughout the mysterious world, countless people have speculated about how the True Ancestor's princess met and signed a contract with the Guardian Knight, but no one knew it would be such a trivial scene.
Of course, no matter how joking it is, "Pale Knight" has always kept his promise, whether it was during a date or when suppressing the urge to suck blood later.
But that is all in the future. Right now, the princess and the knight are focusing their attention on the cinema in front of them.
"We're here. It's been a while since I've been to a place like this. The last time was when the Conan movie was released."
After traveling through time, Shinji has been to the cinema only a few times. On the one hand, it is because he has little interest in movies. On the other hand, it is because the Matou family has their own complete home theater, so he can watch movies anytime he wants.
"This is the movie theater."
This was also Elquet's first time to go to the cinema, but she was not very interested, probably because of the influence of her previous visit to the aquarium.
But now that I'm here, I might as well give it a try.
"Then we'll go in. If you have any complaints, you can go somewhere else."
"Oh, I'm not unhappy, it's just that -"
Haah, Arquette sighed.
The slouched, drooped shoulders seemed to say 'this is boring';.
"In that case, buy the tickets. What do you want to watch? Let me see. The shows showing now are Love in Love and Love in Love... What is this?"
Elquet prefers direct sensory stimulation. She would be interested in action blockbusters or horror and suspense works, and she also prefers this aspect when playing games.
But when it comes to love, I tried to play "Tokimeki Memorial" with her last time, but she gave up after less than ten minutes.
"Well, how about we go somewhere else? The movies here are all romances, which is too monotonous."
At this time, the ticket seller couldn't help but say:
"Young man, what else can you watch if you bring such a beautiful girlfriend to the cinema for a date other than a romance movie?"
"So watching a romance movie is what you do on a date." Arquette nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, I'll just pick one at random, this one."
As soon as you look at the promotional poster, you can tell that this movie is not very good, and it has a shoddy feel everywhere.
"... "
Shinji wordlessly took out his wallet, wordlessly paid, wordlessly bought popcorn and Coke, and wordlessly checked the tickets with the princess.
—Failed.
Even if you bring Arquette to the cinema, it seems to be extremely boring.
