death of hope

"I was scared to death. I almost got into trouble..."

Yuna clenched her chopsticks nervously: "If I smash the crystal plate... I have to pay hundreds of dollars..."

The waiter just smiled politely and said nothing;

The crystal plate on the table is not a mass-produced product in a factory, but a masterpiece by the famous artist Pene de Waal, a real work of art;

The price of its single product is so high that even Yu Nai can't imagine it.

"Hey, hey, hey! What happened to your shabby restaurant?

Just pick up some useless gadgets for guests to use! "

Tetsuya pretended to be angry and raised his eyebrows at the waiter:

"What I want is a meal! It's a tool!

Not much of a work of art! Got it! "

"understood."

The waiter understood, apologized sincerely to Yuna, and took away the heavy golden nanmu chopsticks.

Bamboo chopsticks were replaced from the staff restaurant downstairs, and the white crystal plates were replaced with ceramic ones.

Yuna trembled, weighed her chopsticks, and finally relaxed, picked up a large piece of cheese and ate it.

"This is called a tool for eating!" Tetsuya slapped his thigh: "What were the things before!"

He gave a thumbs up gesture to the waiter: "Bamboo chopsticks and ceramic plates, give me a new set too!"

"As you wish~"

The waiter snickered outside the door. He knew this young man. He was famous in New Sapporo for being generous, and the tip tonight was definitely indispensable.

·

Expensive tableware becomes ordinary, making eating much easier.

The sweet and sour taste of French cheese suits Yuna's taste very well. When her attention is not on her side,

Tetsuya took out an exquisite mahogany box from his pocket and pushed it over with his finger.

"This is?"

Yuna almost choked on the cheese.

"birthday present."

"Huh? Today is my birthday?"

"Really, even girls can forget this."

"I've been reviewing my lessons lately, and I've been confused. In previous years, my brother memorized them for me..."

"Of course he hasn't forgotten. Your brother is busy now, so he can only ask his good buddy - me,

Let’s have this birthday party. "

"Tetsuya-kun..." Yuna was so moved that she almost cried.

"Don't be stunned, open the gift and take a look."

·

Yuna opened the wooden box, which was covered with thick velvet padding. Lying on the padding was a necklace studded with diamonds.

The main pendant of the necklace is a huge heart-shaped gemstone, which is as deep blue as the ocean.

Under the candlelight, the deep and dreamy blue seemed to flow out, filling the entire room, turning the place into an aquarium.

Yuna was shocked: "This looks like the one worn by the heroine Ruth in the movie "Titanic"... the heart of the ocean!"

"Good eyesight!" Tetsuya praised:

"Heart of the Ocean, the same model made with real materials one-to-one according to the movie props."

"What a big sapphire..."

"Materials are not the key. They are all artificial gemstones anyway. The craftsmanship of the jewelry craftsmen is the most rare thing.

I can guarantee that in New Sapporo, no, in the entire Federation of Terra, there will never be anything like the second one. "

"This gift is too valuable." Yuna closed the box:

"Sorry, Tetsuya-kun, I can't accept this."

·

(Hmph, as expected, the Jinguji brothers and sisters have the same stubborn temper~)

Toru had already expected this and did not force it:

"it does not matter,

I will keep it for you first, and then take it out when the time is more appropriate. "

"A more...appropriate time?"

(Little fool~ Of course it will be our wedding in a few years~)

Che didn't say these words, he just put away the wooden box and snapped his fingers;

"Snapped!"

The waiter carrying the dinner plate had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Hearing the snap of fingers, he brought it over and opened the lid.

There was no food on the plate, but a plastic-bound hardcover book.

"This can be accepted~"

"One Hundred Years of Solitude!" Yuna was ecstatic: "The work of the writer I admire most, Marquez!"

·

"Happy birthday~"

"Thank you! Tetsuya-kun!"

Seeing her holding the book and unable to put it down, Tetsuya smiled bitterly and said:

"Sure enough, Long Jun knows you best. He told me that this is the right gift."

Yuna recalled: "When I went to a bookstore with my brother last time, I saw this hardcover book. I was reluctant to buy it at the time. Unexpectedly, he kept it in his heart..."

"Your brother is a brave and careful person."

Seeing Yuna's ecstatic expression as she eagerly opened the plastic envelope and opened the pages of the book, Tetsuya sighed in his heart:

(No jewelry, no brand-name bags, just a cheap paper reading book, but it can make her so happy...

Yuna, Yuna, you are always worried about embarrassing me...

In fact, I, a vulgar rich young man, am not worthy of your interesting soul! )

·

The waiter looked at his watch and reminded: "Sir, the time is almost up."

"Thanks for the reminder~"

Yama Tetsuya stood up and left the table, and extended his arm in a very gentlemanly manner: "Miss Yuna, please come with me when you go back to your book."

The two stepped on the glass and walked towards the edge of the transparent single room.

Walking at an altitude of 1200 meters, with transparent materials all around, even if you are not afraid of heights, you will still be scared to death.

Yuna Jinguji held that hand. She trusted this man and entrusted her life to him...

"Please close your eyes."

She did so.

"Yuna, your eyelashes are too long and too dense, like little golden brushes."

"Hate...you are making fun of me again..."

"Now, please open your eyes~"

·

Yuna never imagined that one day, she would be able to enjoy the treatment of a movie heroine;

fireworks,

Fireworks fill the sky,

Exploded in the night sky of New Sapporo,

Wisps of ribbons streaked across the sky, blooming into colorful flowers.

Hundreds of drones with LED lights on took off into the sky.

Composed words high in the sky:

"おbirthday おめでとう、Yuna さん"

(Happy birthday, Miss Yuna~)

Two lines of hot tears streaked across Jinguji Yuna's cheeks, tears of happiness...

In this cold and cruel world, besides her brother, there are people who care about her and love her...

"I... have liked you for a long time, Miss Yuna, since the first time we met..."

Yamato Tetsuya approached her, his heart was beating fast, his breath was hot, and he pursed his lips:

"I think...but...is it okay..."

Yuna nodded, both of them closed their eyes and moved closer to each other...

·

Just as they were about to touch, the whole building suddenly shook violently.

Then there was a violent explosion, which was definitely not something that fireworks could make.

The two opened their eyes in horror. There were multiple explosions in the New Sapporo city below them, and countless fireballs were rising into the sky.

The blown-off roof hit the traffic on the road, and the crowd fled in fear. The billowing black smoke looked weird and terrifying against the neon lights.

"Oh my god... there's a war?"

Tetsuya hugged her: "Don't be afraid! I'm here!"

The waiter opened the door and shouted to them: "Sir, Madam! Evacuate quickly! Evacuate from the special escape ladder! Go to the underground shelter of the building!"

"what happens?"

The waiter shook his head: "I don't know either, but it must be an emergency. The alarm in the building has gone off. Our staff must follow the procedures and evacuate the VIPs in the restaurant!"

"Did the Millennium Tower where we are located also explode?"

"Probably...no, I hope...now is not the time to dwell on this!" the waiter shouted anxiously:

"I have to evacuate other customers! Please take your valuables with you, follow the lighted arrows on the escape tunnel, and run!"

After that, the waiter ran to other single rooms...

·

"Let's go! Go to the escape elevator!"

Che also grabbed the white arm and couldn't pull it.

Turning around, he found Yuna standing there, her eyes empty;

"Yuna! Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?!"

Jinguji Yuna covered her head with a painful expression.

For some unknown reason, her long golden hair became fluffy as if full of static electricity, and her silver-gray eyes glowed faintly;

"My head hurts... I feel like... something is wrong..."

"Hang on! No matter what, let's go to the shelter first!"

"Danger! Tetsuya-kun! Lower your head!"

Yuna, who was usually sick and weak, suddenly burst out with tremendous strength.

He grabbed Tetsuya's arm and gave him a strong push, knocking him down like a judo master.

"Whoosh!" There was a sound,

Yamato Tetsuya was keenly aware that a fast-moving object flew past the bridge of his nose.

Finally, it hits the transparent wall and falls down.

·

"Tetsuya-kun! Are you okay?" Yuna said in horror; "That thing just... aimed at your neck!"

"It was so dangerous...it was so close..."

Yamato Tetsuya was still in shock. He walked over and picked up the unknown object that almost hit him.

A weird little drone,

Completely different from the previous swarm drones that formed the words "Happy Birthday" in the air.

The battery capacity of this model is very small and cannot be mounted with high-power LED lights.

It cannot fly stably for a long time and long distances, and the design concept focuses entirely on concealment and speed.

There is a micro syringe connected to the head of the drone. The stainless steel needle broke when it hit the wall. There is fluorescent green liquid remaining inside the syringe.

"Is this...poison?"

Yamato Tetsuya frowned:

(It’s a drone assassination dart!

Someone wants to kill me!

who is it? Kyokushin Group? !

This type of drone cannot be controlled accurately remotely.

You have to aim for my neck, you have to penetrate it with precision...

The operator needs to fine-tune the joystick through synchronously transmitted visual signals...

Killer...

nearby! )
