Watching Miharu Takisakara walk to the roadside coffee shop to place an order, Naoki sat down on a seat set up under a shed on the street.

Sure enough, it is more comfortable this way.

Miharu Taki Sakura's cooperation was better than she had imagined, but...

Favorability still hasn't increased.

Even though two people are on a serious date, face to face, it’s not really a date if their feelings don’t increase.

However, Naoki could only pray that the Marriage Card was powerful, otherwise she would have to use the Charm Card.

It doesn't matter if you're watching a horror movie or entering a haunted house, just stick close to her and tell her if you accidentally kiss her.

After drinking coffee and sitting for a while, Naoki pulled Miharu Taki to continue their shopping date.

Perhaps considering that today was a date, the other party did not break free from Naoki's hand.

Naoki used his hands to secretly knead and entangle with the other person's hands using various techniques.

Holding hands and sticking to each other is really comfortable.

Naoki silently compared the length of her fingers with the other person's. The answer was no surprise, because she was short, so her fingers were slightly shorter.

Perhaps because Naoki had pinched her for too long, Miharu Taki Sakura's face turned an unnatural red.

System: Miharu Taki Sakura's favorability towards you has increased slightly.

After working so hard for so long, I finally got some results, although it’s not much.

The two of them walked around the street. It was Naoki's first time to visit the city center, so there were many things he didn't know. He was not shy and asked Miharu Takisara about his curiosity.

For example, when choosing cinemas and amusement parks, she simply looked at reviews online and had not actually been to many of the places.

"Senior, I want to know, is this your first time going out on a date with someone? You seem to be very familiar with this area."

Miharu Taki Sakura thought about it. If she said she was hanging out with someone, it definitely wouldn't be her first time. "No."

"Ah, as expected, this is my first time going out on a date with someone. I used the navigation system to get here just now, so I'm late."

Why did the tone of voice sound like she was taking advantage of the date? Miharu Taki Sakura was a little uncomfortable with this kind of flirting.

Her intuition told her that this was definitely not the first time a woman as outspoken and bold as Naoki had dated someone.

However, she did appear to be completely ignorant of the buildings and shops near the bustling area of ​​the city center.

System: Miharu Taki Sakura's favorability towards you has increased a little.

Naoki thought to himself, no matter what kind of woman she is, she would definitely hope that the girl she is with is her first time.

In the blink of an eye, it was already past eleven o'clock. The two happened to pass by a restaurant that was beautifully decorated. There was a notice at the door saying that the new store was opening and couples were offered a 50% discount. After dining, they could participate in couple activities and receive prizes.

Naoki suddenly had an idea and took Miharu Taki's hand: "Senior, let's go to this restaurant to eat."

It was agreed that she would treat us today, so if she could give us a 50% discount, of course she would do it to save money. After all, she is now in debt of 70 million.

Since they were here for a date and a couple's set meal, Miharu Taki Sakura naturally had no right to refuse.

Two people walked into the restaurant, and a uniformed waiter immediately came forward to greet them: "Excuse me, are you two friends or a couple?"

Do waiters ask so directly nowadays?

Naoki smiled and said, "If we're friends, can't we have your 50% off set meal?"

"That's it."

"Then everyone will say that their friends are a couple."

The waiter smiled and said, "It's up to the customer to decide what to do. We are only responsible for meeting their demands."

"We are a couple."

"Okay, this way please."

Naoki and Miharu Takisakara sat down by the window and found that there were quite a lot of couples coming to this store. There were probably more than a dozen couples in the hall at a glance.

I guess it’s the opening of a new store and the event.

When ordering, the waiter told the two that after the meal they could use the receipt to participate in couple activities inside and win prizes.

"Well, Senior, let's go."

Naoki had always wanted to play more with Miharu Takisaki, so he naturally wouldn't refuse this kind of game.

Miharu Takisara is here to fulfill her promise, and she won't refuse as long as Naoki doesn't ask for anything excessive.

So, after finishing the couple's set meal, the two followed the waiter's guidance into the innermost activity room.

"It's the door at the end of the corridor. Please come in, I have other guests to greet."

Naoki looked at his phone and said, "Let's go, there's a movie at one o'clock."

The two walked down the corridor.

"Naoki, don't you find it strange?"

Miharu Taki Sakura suddenly said, "Generally speaking, when we hold an event, we want everyone to see it because it can promote it and bring in more traffic and customers."

"But this restaurant's couples' event was actually held in a room like this. If the waiter hadn't pointed it out, no one would have known there was an event going on inside."

Naoki's heart skipped a beat, but then he smiled nonchalantly: "Well, maybe there's not enough space. After all, holding an event in the middle of the restaurant will affect other people's dining."

"It's such a big restaurant, nothing can happen."

Naoki took the lead, opened the door and walked in, and Miharu Takisara had no choice but to follow.

……

"Senior, wuwuwu, I should have just listened to you."

Naoki buried his head in Miharu Takisara's shoulder in fear.

At this moment, their hands were tied behind their backs and they were thrown into a hall. Besides them, there were other guests who had come to dine before, but without exception, they were all couples.

Having already guessed in his heart that this was another incident caused by the Marriage Card, Naoki couldn't help but think that this incident involving the Marriage Card was too outrageous and too frightening.

The guards dressed in black were watching them with guns, and no one dared to act rashly.

Someone protested: "Who are you? You're breaking the law, don't you know?"

A synthesized voice came from the speakers in the hall: "Haha, aren't you all here to participate in the couple's event? This is just the preparation before the event."

Some people talked to each other and whispered to those around them, suspecting that they had encountered a terrorist incident.

But who would kidnap a bunch of couples?

Could it be that the person behind the scenes particularly hates couples, so he specially used the restaurant event to capture a bunch of couples.

The black-clad guards held pairs of rings with specific numbers and forced all the couples present to wear them.

Naoki felt that this thing was not good, but now was not the time to resist, as the gun was pointed at him.

"Haha, everyone, don't act rashly. The rings around your necks now all have built-in bombs. As long as I remotely control it, bang! You know what I mean."

When they heard that there was a bomb, everyone present was completely panicked.

Someone begged for mercy: "Please let us go, I know nothing, and I won't say anything when I get out."

Others angrily cursed: "Do you know who I am? Do you know what my family does? If you don't let me go quickly, you'll be in trouble when the police come."

Some people even said, "I just lied to you. Actually, he and I are not a couple at all. We just want to have a couple's meal. We can't participate in this couple's activity!"

"Haha, really? You're not a couple?"

The two men were busy making a fuss. They originally wanted to take advantage of the 50% discount, so they temporarily said they were a couple.

"Since you are not a couple, you are indeed not eligible to participate in this event."

Naoki raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was not good.

Sure enough, the next moment, two explosions were heard in the hall, and pieces of flesh and blood flew all around. Two headless corpses fell to the ground. The strong smell of blood and the tragic scene made those who had lower tolerance for it vomit instantly.

After all, I just ate, so there is still a lot to vomit.

"Is there anyone here who is not a couple?"

The mechanical sound sounded again.

The place was completely silent, with only the faint sounds of retching and crying.

Now, even if there are people pretending to be a couple and coming in to eat the couple's set meal, no one dares to admit it.

Even the man who had just arrogantly said that he would teach the people behind the scenes a lesson didn't dare to say a word.

This bomb is real. Even if the police find out they are missing, no one knows when they will come. This will anger them and they will blow themselves up directly, which will be terrible.

The person behind the scenes laughed, a laugh that sounded quite creepy through the synthesizer and speakers: "Very good, now that we've confirmed our couple status, let's start our couple activities right away."

Chapter 42: Couple Games.

After what happened just now, no one thought that this couple's activity was fun.

When they were controlled by the black-clad guards just now, everyone's communication equipment was confiscated.

Even if someone could notice that something was wrong with the disappearance and call the police, it would take half a day.

Soon, the couples in the venue were separated one by one, causing another commotion.

However, after witnessing each other's iron-blooded tactics, the lovers only dared to scream and did not dare to resist.

"What are you going to do?"

"Why are you separating us? What are you going to do to my girlfriend?"

"what!"

Knowing they could not resist, most people were silently taken away by the guards.

Naoki was taken to a room with a red door on the left side of the hall, while Miharu Taki Sakura was taken to a room with a blue door on the right side.

Naoki glanced around the room and saw only tables, chairs, and small partitions, with calculator-like objects on the tables.

The guards forced them to sit in seats corresponding to the couple's numbers.

After everyone was seated, the voice of the person behind the scenes came out again from the loudspeaker in the room.

"Everyone is ready."

"In today's society, breaking up doesn't require any price. Just like the two people who just died, admitting they were a couple when they walked in was just a casual remark, and they can deny their relationship at any time."

"However, since everyone who stays here is a real couple, you can definitely pass these little games to prove that you are a real couple."

The person behind the scenes chuckled and said, "The first game is 'Telepathy.' Real lovers definitely have telepathy. You should have seen the equipment on the table."

"First, the blue team enters a string of numbers and clicks upload. Then the red team enters a string of numbers. If the numbers you enter are exactly the same, then you are definitely a couple."

"Otherwise—those without telepathy are definitely not a real couple, and if they're not a couple, they're naturally not eligible to participate in the next game."

When they heard the rules of the game from the person behind the scenes, everyone present changed their expressions.

Are you kidding? Nowadays, when you're in a relationship, all you need to do is feel comfortable with each other. How much of a love is there?

Moreover, even if they are relatives who live together day and night, the possibility of someone else repeating a random string of numbers is almost zero, because they are not the worms in the other person's stomach.

Unfortunately, although almost everyone wanted to curse, no one dared to curse out loud under the threat of guns and bombs.

"This is almost impossible! How could someone do such a thing?"

A man with glasses on Naoki's side complained.

The person behind the scenes sneered, "Here's a tip for you. If you can't even remember your partner's favorite or most important number, how can you call yourself a lover?"

After hearing the words of the person behind the scenes, some people suddenly showed a thoughtful look on their faces.

Yes, it is difficult if you just guess the numbers randomly.

But if the other person enters his or her favorite number, or the most important number, the probability of the other person guessing it correctly will increase significantly.

Naoki thought that if the red team couldn't guess it, the blue team would die too, so the blue team would definitely enter the simplest number that the other team would know.

Most people would probably choose their birthday or lucky number.

After all, as a couple, it is impossible not to know each other's birthday.

Well, except for some people.
