This film tells the story of a woman who has to work while attending college to make ends meet. One day, on her way home from work, she finds a young man unconscious in an alley. Out of sympathy, she doesn't hesitate to help the man.
What she doesn't know is that the young man is no ordinary person, but an exile from another world, hunted by his enemies. However, he has lost his memory. Driven by something unknown, the woman offers him a place to stay at her house until his memories return.
Thus begins the daily life of the amnesiac young man from another world and the hardworking poor woman.
"..."
For some unknown reason, Eiji felt the film was very relevant to his current situation, except he wasn't from another world.
"Kamiki, you're not from another world, are you?" Nino joked in a low voice.
After all, the protagonist's situation in the film and Eiji's were similar!
"Maybe." Eiji couldn't give a concrete answer.
"Don't take it too seriously, this movie is just fiction." Nino chuckled and continued watching the movie.
Glancing at Eiji's hand resting on the armrest, she dared to take his hand.
"Nino-san?"
"What is it?"
"Nothing."
Since Nino considered holding hands while watching movies a normal thing, Eiji wouldn't bring it up.
'No wonder Ichika-san can be an international actress. Besides relying on her natural beauty, her acting is also very good.'
Although he didn't know much about acting, he knew at least that Ichika's acting skills were among the best among actresses.
The proof was evident in the audience who were engrossed in watching and enjoying the film.
"Mhm~ ah~... Don't~"
There was a very soft female sigh that was barely audible to anyone except one person.
'What was that sound...?'
Relying on his 360Ā° vision, the darkness didn't affect his vision at all. In a short time, Eiji found the location of the sound he heard.
He saw a couple kissing passionately in the corner of the audience seats, the man's hand was dishonest and touching the woman's sensitive area. As for the woman, she tried to hold back her voice, although occasionally a sigh escaped her lips.
In fact, there were a total of five couples secretly engaging in indecent acts. However, they didn't reach the stage of having sex. After all, there were cameras watching inside the cinema.
Regarding the couples who were committing indecent acts, the supervisors simply turned a blind eye as long as they didn't cross the line.
'What's so good about kissing? The mouth is only an organ for eating. Sticking lips to each other is very unhygienic.'
Eiji lost interest in them. He returned to focusing on watching the movie, occasionally putting popcorn in his mouth.
The caramel flavor in his mouth left a sweet taste. Without realizing it, he noticed Nino's lips, which were smeared with lip balm that looked tempting in his eyes.
'What did I just think?!'
Realizing his bad thoughts, Eiji shook his head.
āāā
After finishing watching the movie, Nino invited Eiji to have lunch. They walked to a sushi restaurant not far from the cinema.
The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere with a modern interior, yet still offered a traditional Japanese feel. As they sat at the table, Nino seemed to order some of her favorite dishes.
"Kamiki, you have to try the sushi here! Itsuki recommended this sushi restaurant, and it's really delicious." Nino said enthusiastically while showing the menu to him.
"Since Itsuki-san, who used to be a food blogger, said so, then it must be true."
His relationship with Itsuki was quite close. So Eiji knew Itsuki was a food blogger when she was still in high school.
"Besides studying, Itsuki has a hobby of eating. She even made her own list of Michelin restaurants." Nino felt amused.
"So that's it." Eiji nodded slightly.
Soon, the waiter brought their ordered sushi.
Nino took a piece of sushi and bit into it.
"This is delicious! You have to try it." She offered a piece of sushi to him.
Eiji took it with chopsticks and tried it.
"Not bad."
"Hmmm~..."
"Why is Nino-san looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong? Please tell me."
"Your reaction is so nonchalant even though you're eating expensive sushi as if you're used to it. Could it be... Kamiki, are you actually from a wealthy family background?"
Nino's assumption was correct, but there was no way to verify it.
"I don't know." Eiji gave a normal answer. He really didn't remember his past.
"Well, that's just a wild guess. If you're really from a wealthy family, it's impossible for your information not to be found." Nino said lightly.
During lunch, they chatted about light things. Nino told stories about her experience being invited by Itsuki to try various restaurants in Tokyo.
As usual, Eiji wasn't a talkative person. Nino was mostly active in talking, while he just listened.
After lunch was over, they left the restaurant.
The afternoon sun warmed the cool winter air, and a gentle breeze blew softly, creating a fresh and bright atmosphere.
"The next destination is one of Tokyo's iconic architecture, Tokyo Tower!"
Knowing that Eiji wouldn't refuse, Nino had already decided on the next date spot.
Along the way, they passed several souvenir shops filled with Christmas and winter festival trinkets. Nino occasionally stopped for a moment to look at small things that caught her attention, like a tower-shaped keychain or a small doll.
After a while, they finally arrived at Tokyo Tower. Sunlight reflected off the majestic tower structure, giving an impressive impression during the day. Nino pulled Eiji's hand towards the entrance, and they took the elevator to the observation deck.
Once at the top, the vast Tokyo cityscape, filled with modern buildings, stretched out before them. From the height, the city looked like a sea of orderly buildings, with streets like small lines connecting each other.
"Look, Kamiki! The view is amazing, isn't it?" Nino said in awe, pointing towards the city below them.
"Yeah, Tokyo looks different from up here." Eiji nodded.
Nino looked at him, a small smile appearing on her face.
"Sometimes, from up here, we can see things we usually ignore when we're down below. Looking from here, everything seems simpler."
Eiji looked at her for a moment, silent, before turning his gaze back out the window.
"You're right. Sometimes, perspective makes a big difference."
"Seeing you so calm, it seems you're not afraid of heights. If it were Miku, her face would be pale right now."
"I can imagine that."
"Hey, Kamiki, is it okay if I call you by your first name?"
"Sure."
"Eiji."
"Yes, Nino-san."
"Nothing, just wanted to say your name."
Looking directly into Eiji's beautiful eyes, Nino smiled charmingly.
Seeing this, Eiji didn't realize a thin smile formed on his face.
"You just smiled, Eiji!"
Nino's eyes widened and her heart pounded as she saw the smile.
"I'm glad you brought me here. Thank you, Nino-san."
Returning to her senses, her face looked a little embarrassed. Nino pretended to look away at the scenery outside the window.
"Don't be so serious. This is just a casual walk."
The two fell silent, letting the comfortable silence fill the atmosphere. From that high place, they could see almost every corner of Tokyo, and amidst the light conversation and small laughter, there was an unspoken feeling between them.
