After it got dark, dinner time, Christmas songs played in the restaurant.
"Jingle Bells" from Children's Christmas Favorites.
Amidst the melody of "Ding ding dong, ding ding dong, the bells are ringing," the atmosphere inside the restaurant was festive.
Under the warm lighting, diners were eating with great merriment.
The group of five rang the bell and summoned a waiter, each ordering their dinner.
Dubian Che had potato curry and grilled chicken skewers.
The rich aroma of the curry, slightly spicy, paired with rice, was a delight with each bite.
After chewing and swallowing vigorously, he picked up the golden-brown chicken skewers.
Biting into a piece of chicken, a mushroom, they were pulled into the mouth together, the fat bursting with flavor.
The joy and satisfaction of eating were particularly profound at this very moment.
"Christmas is coming up," Ichiki Aoi said, pinching a fry dipped in ketchup.
