At the time, Mitsuri Kanroji, whose mentality was quite simple and pure, did not notice anything strange about the date. She was simply happy to have eaten some decent food.
"It's the perfect season for cherry blossoms."
"Why don't we go see the cherry blossoms?"
Lin Cheng looked at Mitsuri Kanroji, whose face showed satisfaction, and smiled slightly, saying, "If we go later, there may not be room for us."
Naturally, a date is not just about eating. After eating and drinking enough, it is necessary to take a walk to digest.
In Sakura village, the cherry trees were already in bloom and, for a date or even for couples, it was a nice place to visit.
Of course, for Mitsuri Kanroji, who lived in the cherry blossom village, it could be a common occurrence.
Lin Cheng took Mitsuri Kanroji for a walk around the places where the cherry blossoms were in their splendor, in the cherry blossom village. During the walk, there were conversations and, compared to the initial tension when they first met, Mitsuri Kanroji became more animated after spending time with Lin Cheng.
He began to let loose, asking Lin Cheng many strange questions.
In short, Lin Cheng wasn't sure how Mitsuri Kanroji felt, but Mitsuri Kanroji considered this date to be the happiest he had ever been on.
Mr. Lin Cheng."
"I heard that you're from a foreign country, is it true?".
Walking next to Lin Cheng, Mitsuri Kanroji looked at Lin Cheng curiously.
Mitsuri Kanroji, a teenager of about 16 or 17 years old, had never left the region of her hometown in Sakura. Now, after getting her fill, Mitsuri Kanroji found herself interested in learning more about Lin Cheng.
Although Mitsuri Kanroji seemed a bit awkward in his daily behavior, he did not forget the purpose of his appointment today.
"Yes."
"For some special reasons, I have settled here."
Lin Cheng looked at Mitsuri Kanroji, who was looking at him curiously, and smiled, "At the moment, I am a master tutor."
"But I think Madam Keiko will have already told this information to Mitsuri Kanroji and her family."
"Yes, I mention it..."
"I've heard that Mr. Lin Cheng has had many failed appointments, as have I, so..."
If it were a matter of counting the number of failed appointments, thanks to Keiko Fujiwara's efforts, Lin Cheng might have had even more failed appointments than Mitsuri Kanroji. This was because Lin Cheng, as a tutor, had some reputation in teaching and had a good income. In addition, he was tall, handsome and had a good presence, which made him one of the most attractive candidates in dating. Therefore, he had been on many more dates than Mitsuri Kanroji.
"So, Mitsuri-chan thinks we could get along?"
Looking at Mitsuri Kanroji, Lin Cheng smiled with amusement and asked, "Do you think we could get along, Mitsuri-chan?"
"Well, Mr. Lin Cheng, I think you are a very nice person..."
Mitsuri Kanroji instinctively lowered her head at Lin Cheng's gaze, showing some shyness.
----------------------------------------------------
"By the way, Mitsuri."
"I mean, did all these gifts come from Mr. Lin Cheng?"
At the Kanroji's house.
Seeing the snacks that Mitsuri Kanroji had placed on the table and her carefree attitude, Mitsuri Kanroji's mother showed a resigned expression on her face. As a mother, she knew her daughter's personality very well. It didn't take much to understand that Mitsuri Kanroji had really enjoyed today's date. The happy expression on Mitsuri Kanroji's face was a clear indication of that.
However, Mitsuri Kanroji only showed that expression when she had the opportunity to eat something delicious. Her mother understood her daughter perfectly and knew that she only looked so happy when she had food in front of her.
"Yes, yes."
"Mother, Mr. Lin Cheng is really a good person."
"But Mr. Lin Cheng is really wasting too much food."
"He always orders a lot of food that he can't finish, which forces me to help Mr. Lin Cheng finish it."
"In the future, I'll have to remind Mr. Lin Cheng that he can't afford to waste like this."
After returning home, Mitsuri Kanroji no longer showed the shyness she had in front of Lin Cheng.
Mitsuri Kanroji enthusiastically shared with her mother her experience on the date with Lin Cheng, from the initial nervous moments at the café to her gradual relaxation after lunch. She spent the entire day sharing every detail of her experience. Mitsuri Kanroji's mother could also clearly feel her daughter's happiness.
However, although her daughter's happiness was a good thing, Mitsuri Kanroji's mother could not help but feel some concern. Her daughter had tried to hide her true nature at first, but after the dinner, she had completely exposed her true personality.
That was a difficult time, when food was not always easy to come by. Mitsuri Kanroji was lucky to have been born into a well-to-do family, otherwise an average family could not have supported someone like her.
Mitsuri Kanroji had had numerous failed dates due to her insatiable appetite, as her family was not a normal family and could not afford to support her. At this time, food was not always accessible, and Mitsuri Kanroji was fortunate to belong to a wealthy family that could provide for her dietary needs. Despite her efforts to hide her insatiable appetite, Mitsuri Kanroji could not help but show her true personality after a meal.
