Chapter 413: Date with Minos!
The next day—
At around 3:00 PM, the sunshine was just right, plating Tokyo, the number one city in Asia, with a layer of soft warm tones.
Ryohei drove the Patrol back to the luxurious villa in Meguro Ward, pushed open the door, and walked in:
"I'm back."
"Welcome back."
Minos, lying sideways on the sofa watching TV and covered with a cow-patterned blanket, looked towards the entryway and responded with a crisp voice.
"Mn... Minos, are you the only one home today?"
Ryohei came to the living room, surprised not to see anyone else.
"Ang."
Minos responded, her voice revealing a trace of laziness:
"Second went to her teacher's place. Jashin-chan went out in the morning and hasn't come back... I'm so bored being home alone!"
"Then go out for a walk."
Ryohei sat down on the single sofa nearby, casually took a sugar mandarin from the coffee table, and slowly peeled it.
After pounding rice cakes yesterday afternoon, he drove Yurine back to the Hanazono Inari Shrine first, then played outside with Yusa until half an hour ago when they separated.
By the way—
Lucoa and Pekola took New Year Lucky Bags to visit friends, saying they would return before the New Year.
"Don't know where to go..." Minos paused, looked at Ryohei with her ruby-like beautiful eyes, and changed the subject: "Ryohei-kun, take me out to play."
"Me?"
Ryohei looked sideways in surprise, but he was indeed free next, having nothing to do. It seemed a bit pitiful for Minos to be bored at home alone...
Ryohei thought for a moment and suggested: "Shall I take you to the gym to play badminton or tennis?"
Σ(°Д°;
Minos immediately widened her eyes, revealing an expression of "What on earth are you saying," looking at Ryohei and roasting:
"Although I am usually a bit careless, I am still a girl, right?"
"Asking you to take me out to play, and you take me to play this?"
"Uh..."
Ryohei ate the last few segments of the sugar mandarin, picked up another one, and said a bit embarrassedly: "I thought compared to shopping, watching movies, etc., you would prefer competitive sports."
"Your misunderstanding of me is too deep!" Minos roasted speechlessly.
"Aha—!"
Ryohei smiled and suggested again: "Then shall we watch a movie, then have a meal together, and stroll around?"
"That's more like it!"
Minos rebuked playfully, sitting up from the sofa cheerfully.
The cow-patterned blanket covering her slipped due to gravity, revealing her proud assets.
Seeing this, Ryohei took out his phone from his pocket, unlocked it with his fingerprint, opened the ticket purchasing app, and gestured to her:
"Come over and see if there's anything you want to watch; let's book the tickets first."
"Okay." Minos responded, got off the sofa, and leaned over with a burst of fragrance.
She reached out to take the phone, half-sitting on the armrest of the single sofa, her left leg wrapped in black over-the-knee stockings also resting on it.
Ryohei glanced; this leg was also excellent, with beautiful curves, giving a sense of voluptuousness—and the absolute territory between the stockings and the pleated skirt was also dazzling!
"Mn? You've already watched 'Invaders' Dinner'?"
Noticing the "Watched" mark on a certain movie, Minos turned her head in surprise to look at Ryohei.
"Mn, watched it last night."
Ryohei withdrew his gaze from her leg, answering while eating the mandarin.
"Was it good?"
"It was okay." He paused and summarized: "It's the type with all villains plus multiple reversals, a bit brain-burning. If you're interested, I can accompany you to watch it again."
"No thanks, I still prefer the hot-blooded, violent types." Minos said, her gaze returning to the phone screen, browsing the synopsis of other movies.
"Uh... as expected of you!"
Ryohei looked sideways in surprise.
"Mn-hmph~."
Minos hummed lightly.
A while later, she handed the phone back to Ryohei and suggested: "How about watching this? There's a screening at 4:20; we'll come out just in time for dinner."
The movie displayed on the phone screen was called First Kiss. Ryohei was instantly surprised; didn't she say she liked hot-blooded and violent ones? This looked like a romance movie no matter how you looked at it, right?
"Alright then." He didn't ask much and agreed readily.
Taking the phone from Minos, he started selecting seats.
It was currently the New Year holiday, and there were many people watching movies. Ryohei checked four cinemas in a row before booking two decent seats.
After booking the movie tickets, the two went out, discussing what to eat for dinner on the way.
...
About half an hour later—
"Oh ho—! It's my first time watching a movie in a human cinema!"
As soon as Minos stepped into the cinema lobby, she looked around with great interest, her ruby-like beautiful eyes shining, exclaiming: "So many people!"
"It's the annual leave period now; usually, there are fewer people... sometimes you can even have the theater to yourself."
Ryohei took over the conversation casually.
He had already seen the self-service ticket machine and waved: "Let's go, pick up the tickets first."
After picking up the tickets, Ryohei took Minos to queue at the counter—watching a movie naturally required popcorn and drinks!
In a few minutes, it was their turn.
"What would you like to order?"
The staff responsible for ordering and cashier stood behind the counter, asking with a smile.
Besides popcorn, this cinema also offered snacks like french fries and fried chicken, and drinks included coffee and juice among other choices.
—Many cinemas here were like this, slightly different from China.
"One Set C, butter caramel popcorn, both drinks cola."
Ryohei handed out the prepared 1060 Yen.
He and Minos had already discussed what to buy while queuing.
"Okay."
The cashier responded, taking the order and money while loudly repeating Ryohei's request.
The staff responsible for serving immediately started preparing.
Soon, a large bucket of fragrant butter caramel popcorn and two medium cups of cola were placed on the counter.
"Your Set C is ready."
The staff reminded with a smile.
"Mn."
Ryohei casually handed the popcorn and one medium cola to Minos, picking up the remaining cup himself.
At this time, ticket checking for First Kiss had already started.
The two immediately walked towards the ticket gate.
