” After finishing the cake together with Belle, this time Belle ate a little more without any reservations.
“Firefly, today’s cake seems even more delicious.
Even knowing I might gain weight, it still makes me want to eat a bit more.” “Is that so?
As long as you like it.
In the future when my shop opens, you’ll have to support it a lot too.” Hearing that Belle liked the cake she made, Firefly was also very delighted.
“I definitely will!
Then let’s go to Lumina Square now!
I want to experience everything that older brother experienced.” Belle took Firefly’s hand, and the two walked into the Sixth Street station together.
After buying tickets, the subway arrived very quickly.
From Sixth Street to Lumina Square station, even by subway, it takes a few minutes of travel.
The two of them chatted hand in hand.
Belle initiated the topic first.
“Did you know, Firefly?
In many works, subways are frequent accident zones.” “Ah, does Belle have any interesting stories?” “Of course!
For example, after boarding an empty subway, the train falls into an endless loop, constantly going back and forth between two stations.
At the same time, monsters appear inside the carriage, and you have to dodge the monsters while figuring out the cause of the loop.” Once Belle started chatting about those rare Inter-Knot videotapes, she couldn’t stop.
“And there’s more, more!
On an Astral Express packed with people, the Astral Express enters an abnormal Hollow, and people discover that the Astral Express cannot stop.
It keeps driving through the Hollow until everyone turns into Ethereals.” Belle thought that telling some scary stories would make Firefly show a frightened expression, which would definitely be very interesting, but such a thing didn’t happen, which instead surprised Belle a bit.
Firefly smiled, and seeing Belle finally stop, she said, “I’ve also heard some things about the Astral Express.” Seeing Belle’s eager-to-listen expression, Firefly continued, “Five college students were chatting in front of the platform.
They said there was a delicious restaurant near the school, they said a new game came out recently, and they said the girl they liked accepted their confession.
Then one of them said, ‘Alright, alright, the Astral Express is here.’ Afterwards, the five of them fell silent, and holding hands, they jumped off the platform simultaneously.” “Uwah, this is way too dark!” Instead of scaring Firefly, Belle got scared by the other person.
Watching Belle shrink her body, Firefly couldn’t help snickering.
Seeing Firefly covering her face with her hand to snicker, Belle was furious.
“Alright, how dare you mock me.” Belle extended her little evil hands.
Unfortunately, they were grabbed by Firefly in one go.
“Alright, we’ve arrived at the station, let’s get off quickly.” The two came to the pedestrian walkway, and Belle looked at the overpass in the distance.
“I want to go take a look over there first.” Seeing that Belle was pointing at the overpass, Firefly teased, “What, are you going to jump down from there?” “Stop trying to scare me.” Belle gave Firefly’s waist a playful punch with a coy smile.
Saying was just saying, the two still went to the milk tea shop first.
“Koko, give us two cups of Taro Bobo Milk Tea.” “Got it, two cups of Taro Bobo Milk Tea.” A girl wearing a capable uniform, with prominent dark circles around her eyes but maintaining a constant smile, raised her head and saw the incoming people.
“Eh…
It’s you, and the Video Store Manager.” Koko spotted Firefly at a glance.
“Eh, Koko actually looked at Firefly first?” Belle frequently bought milk tea here, and she thought Koko must definitely be a familiar friend mutual to her.
Of course that was also the case, “Like…
like a Watermelon Frost Honey-delicious Video Store Manager, seeing you in the summer will make the whole day cool and refreshing, right?” The praise almost made Belle embarrassed, but Koko quickly shifted her attention to Firefly, her expression visibly becoming sluggish, and her speech even more stuttering.
“However, this…
Strawberry Cheese Peach-like…
Miss Firefly, very glad to meet you.” “Strawberry Cheese Peach, eh?
This evaluation is very high, right?” Belle looked at Koko with some curiosity.
Strawberry Cheese Peach—Firefly was also very curious about this evaluation, and of course, she was also very curious about this girl who liked to describe people using milk tea drinks.
“Of course.
Dense milk foam paired with strawberries, a gentle shake will blend the fruit and tea base, and adding some ice cream makes it even smoother and sweeter.” “Oh, quite a high-end evaluation, Firefly.” Belle looked at Firefly and teased.
“Then please change ours to a cup of Watermelon Frost Honey and Strawberry Cheese Peach.” At this moment, Koko suddenly realized they had been chatting and hadn’t had time to make the milk tea.
After being completely startled, Koko hurriedly began making the milk tea in a flurry.
Fortunately, Koko was highly skilled, and the milk tea was completed shortly after.
At this moment, Firefly asked HQ in her heart, “What do you think of Strawberry Cheese Peach?” “Sounds better than a Centedrini Ice Cup.” Note: Centedrini Ice Cup refers to Wise.
“Two of you, your milk tea.” Koko handed the milk tea into the hands of the two young girls.
“Mhm, this is really good!” Belle took a sip of Strawberry Cheese Peach, then extended the milk tea toward Firefly’s lips, “Firefly, give it a taste too!” Looking at Belle’s star-filled eyes, Firefly took a shallow sip.
“Mhm, it’s really delicious.” Afterwards, Firefly opened the Watermelon Frost Honey in her hand and shared it with Belle.
Watching this scene, Koko’s smile deepened, and even the dark circles on her face faded a bit.
“Please take care on your way, the two of you.” Koko said goodbye to the two young girls.
Afterwards, the two walked side by side onto the overpass.
Firefly subconsciously glanced at the rising sun in the sky, while Belle immediately looked at the traffic flow below.
“You chatted with older brother here for a long time that day, right?
I’m a bit curious about what you two talked about.” Belle asked with a smile.
But Firefly’s expression instantly lost its smile.
Seeing this situation, Belle felt some regret.
She was just about to change the subject when she heard Firefly’s voice.
“We chatted about some things from the past.
I was able to come here from the Star Capital all thanks to my family.
At that time, clearly everyone had a lot of things to do, yet they still gave me this opportunity.” Seeing Firefly’s completely depressed mood, Belle suddenly hugged Firefly.
“Alright, alright, you must have said these things to older brother already.
Today we need to be happy, let’s temporarily not think about these things, okay?” Belle was also a bit anxious, but now she deeply regretted it—why didn’t she just go directly and ask older brother about such things!
However, Firefly quickly recovered, and that smile became bright again.
“Of course, I have nothing to be sad about.” Firefly felt that not a single person among the Stellaron Hunters was missing, and her main body also had things she needed to do; she didn’t need to feel sad just because she wasn’t over there.
After all, this side belonged to her.
This girl who was trying her best to comfort herself and racking her brains should also be cherished even more.
Finally, Belle held the railing with both hands, and she said with lingering fear, “This place might not be so great for you, but I have an even better place—let me take you there!” “Mhm.” Firefly nodded decisively.
Belle pulled Firefly to jog along the pedestrian walkway, soon passing Koko’s milk tea shop and passing the cinema.
Firefly saw a cafe, and after a corner, Belle pulled her up to the open-air second floor of the cafe.
Because she had jogged for this short distance, Belle was a bit out of breath, but she quickly cheered up and said very happily, “This place is said to be the ultimate spot for men and women to date, friends to gather, or even mafia transactions.” Hearing Belle say this, Firefly didn’t care much; instead, the sound of waves crashing against the shore attracted Firefly.
“Watching the sea here is also a good choice, but I prefer coming over at dusk because that way I can see the sunset.” Belle scratched her head somewhat sheepishly, “I originally wanted to wait until dusk to come and watch together, but coming now is also great.” “Thank you, Belle.
I really like this place.
I love the ocean; it’s very similar to the starry sky.
I also really want to see the sunset, so let’s come again before dusk.” Having said that, Firefly’s mood also became even better.
Seeing this scene, Belle’s heart felt like it was melting.
“Firefly, let’s take a photo together!” Belle took out her phone, and Firefly agreed without even thinking.
The phone put the two of them together, Firefly smiling on the left, while Belle held up the phone on the other side and made a V-sign.
Belle chimed in, “Firefly, let’s be best friends for life!” “Okay.” The phone captured the exact moment Firefly smiled and said this word.
