The lamplit Shinbashi seemed to hang its lanterns among the street trees. Beneath these lanterns, open-air bookstalls were packed in tight rows.
A sleek black luxury car slowly decelerated, pulling up to the curb.
Pedestrians, customers, and bookstand owners shifted their attention towards the vehicle in unison.
The door opened, and out stepped a slender leg, which, with a firm step down, brought the person within to stand.
A strikingly handsome and refined young man.
His pale left hand rested on the black car door while his right reached back into the car in an offer of support, followed by a slim and exquisitely elegant young woman stepping down.
The beautiful youth closed the door and wrapped his arm around the noble-looking girl, heading towards the used bookstalls.
He leaned over and whispered something to the girl nestled in his arms, a slight smile that could intoxicate every woman in the street on this Friday night.
