Coming out of the cinema.
To be honest, the romance movie they watched wasn't particularly boring. It expressed what it should have expressed, and was worth the money paid for the two tickets.
But can this kind of film that focuses on "connotation" and "understanding" really make Miss True Ancestor feel interesting
Shinji didn't know.
"... "
Elquet walked silently next to the boy.
Hateful silence.
Shinji felt that he couldn't go on like this and had to say something.
"That, Arquette."
After getting used to her being noisy and willful, it's really hard to get used to her suddenly becoming silent.
"Yeah, this is really interesting, Shinji!"
"Clam-?"
So, so interesting──...!
"Uh, Arquette, what do you mean by interesting?"
"The cinema is really interesting, not as boring as you said. Although the cinema in my knowledge is only good at making trivial fantasies, I didn't expect it to be different from what I imagined!"
From her chattering tone and cheerful and lively appearance, there is no doubt that Her Royal Highness the Princess is genuinely amused.
"It makes noise in the dark, but it's not noisy, and I'm also happy that Shinji is next to me."
That’s all
"What about the film itself?"
You didn't miss the movie and were just enjoying the dark atmosphere - come to think of it, the darkness without sunlight is exactly what Elquet is most accustomed to.
"The movie itself is also very good. When you played the game with me, I thought that humans might be better at imagining things than us. Now I am sure of it. You can make something imaginary become real. Well, if I have to compare it, the impression I created is like something to coax a child. I really admire it."
"...Ah, yeah, is that so?" Shinji was a little dumbfounded.
Although I remember that Elquet liked movies, when I called her to watch at home before, she seemed to be uninterested. Was it because the atmosphere was not right
"Huh? You don't look very happy. Are you bored?"
"I'm actually okay. It's not boring, nor is it particularly interesting. Maybe I've seen too many similar movies. Anyway, as long as you like it, you can come back often. According to human evaluation standards, such a movie is not actually good. If you like it, you can give it a 6 out of 10 points at most."
"Only 6 points, what a lie! But the one just now was very good!?" Elquet's face was full of surprise.
"Look at my sincere eyes, I am definitely not lying. Believe me, a truly good movie would be several times better than this, but there may not be many released in a year. We came at the wrong time and it was not released during the schedule."
"...Shock!"
She was so surprised that she was stunned. She had been complaining coldly before watching the movie, but this kind of movie made her jump up and down like a child.
"Were the movies you watched at home several times the size of those before?"
"Yes, Titanic is one of the best romantic movies. But when I called you, you were busy playing games and refused to come out. I couldn't do anything about it."
"What a shame. I should have listened to you before. If I had known it was such a happy thing, I would have looked at it more."
Shinji comforted her: "It's not too late now, there will be plenty of time later."
"Yeah, that's right. Thank you, Shinji."
"You're welcome."
Seeing you so happy makes my day worthwhile.
"Hey, Shinji, where are we going next?"
"Next, let's go find something to eat."
"Okay, okay, I want to eat the specialties here."
This is also one of Elquet's interests. Although he is a vampire, he is very interested in human food, and especially likes to eat up all the food in a whirlwind. I don't know how to complain about it.
Fortunately, Shinji is also a foodie, so it's always good to have someone to eat with. And with Elquet around, there's no need to worry about waste. With her digestive ability as the embodiment of nature, she can finish any amount of food, making her the best person to implement the "Clean Plate Campaign".
This time was no different. With sufficient funds, Shinji ordered a large table of food, a quarter of which he kept for himself, and the rest went into Elquet's stomach.
After finishing the meal, he patted his stomach like Shinji, even though it was not swollen at all. He picked up a toothpick and put it in his mouth, even though it was not stuck in his teeth at all, he looked very satisfied.
"So interesting, so interesting, where should we go next?"
"Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
He had originally planned to visit all three dating sites, which would be enough to last until the evening, but he didn't expect that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon and he had already completed the original plan. He couldn't figure out how to continue for a while, so he passed the initiative on.
Elquet rubbed his cheek and tilted his head to one side: "Well, let me think, what is that over there?"
The restaurant they chose happened to be on the upper floors of a building, so they could have a clear view of the surrounding scenery. In addition, Elquet's vision was far superior to that of humans, which meant that he could overlook this small city.
"That." Shinji performed a magic trick to enhance his vision. "It should be a park, an ordinary citizen park."
"What about that?"
"station."
"Where do we live?"
"It should be in that direction, but it's blocked by the taller building."
"Where is that place where a lot of people gather together?"
"School."
"It looks interesting, why don't we go there?"
"No, the students are in class, and going over now will disturb them."
"I see. What's that colorful area on the left?"
"Game Center."
"Games? Okay, I've decided. Let's go there. It should be fun."
"It took me so long to choose that place."
Shinji laughed. If the cinema is a holy place for dating, this place is a forbidden place for dating—except for those who also have the attribute of staying at home.
However, considering that Elquet herself loves games, this might be a surprisingly suitable place? As long as she doesn't play too much.
"Let's go. I haven't been to a place like this for a long time. It's a good opportunity to see if my hands are rusty."
"Oh, then let's go and have fun till the evening."
"That's fine, but don't use more strength than an ordinary person can. It will be troublesome if it causes a commotion."
"I know this! Shinji underestimates me. Don't treat me as a woman who knows nothing."
"Haven't you caused enough trouble? Vandalizing public property, printing money on the spot..."
"Those don't count. I just came out then and I haven't adapted yet. That won't happen this time."
With a snort, Arquette stood up and left his seat.
Sometimes I really can’t figure out where her confidence comes from
PS: What a pity, it’s not 2018 now, otherwise it would be fun to take Elquet to watch “Dream Showbiz”. Dream Showbiz circle circle circle circle circle...
