*Your friend [Second Dungeon] is online.

Yuuri Katsuki woke up in his own bed.As soon as he opened his eyes, the golden-red morning sun had already poured in through the curtains. For a moment, everything in his eyes was golden.

He lay back moaning.

I have to drive all day today.His sluggish brain started slowly, and the first message that entered his mind made his temples and tailbone ache at the same time.He yawned, and suddenly realized that the room was a little too quiet, only the morning breeze passed through the open window from time to time, and the rustling of the curtains was blown up—it was still raining before going to bed last night, and he I clearly remember that the window is closed, closed...

He jumped out of bed suddenly, his vision blurred due to brain ischemia—the sleeping pills were still on the window frame!He didn't have time to think about it, only heard the sharp alarm sound in his ears, rushed to the window in three steps and opened the curtains to have a look - the window frame was empty, except for a puddle of black water stains that hadn't dried yet nor.

……All right.He stood there blankly for a moment, the memory of last night began to fully recover, he began to think of what happened before going to bed last night, and where he fell asleep, because he was too focused to notice a black shadow approaching stealthily over him.

"Good morning!"

"Wow!" Yuuri was taken aback, he turned around, and an energetic and radiant smile came into his sight.

"Ouch! Watch out, cowboy," Viktor yelled, almost knocked over by Yuuri when he got too close to dodge with a coffee tray and a bear's paw in his hands.He swayed from side to side twice, expressing the difficulty of maintaining balance. "Morning, the weather has cleared up."

He puts the food on the table and draws the curtains aside Yuuri.The sunlight shot into the room like running, forming a huge rectangular light spot on the wall, Yuuri could not help but squint his eyes, it was too dazzling, he rubbed his browbones thinking.

Viktor held the bear's paw in front of him, shaking it like a puppy, Yuuri subconsciously took a big bite, and then his face turned red.

"Give it to me." He said sullenly, and took the bread from Victor's hand. Victor's smile deepened, and he stepped aside, and began to add milk and sugar to the coffee.Yuuri ate the bread, looking at the little lock of hair sticking up on the back of his head, the doubts in his heart gradually expanded.

"Well, Victor..." He wanted to know how he got back to his bed, and also wondered if Victor found the medicine bottle on the window frame, but these questions were all tangled together like wool, and he couldn't figure it out There is only one thing that is certain, and that is...

"It's delicious!" Victor also took a bite of his own bread, and he praised enthusiastically, "What do you think?"

Yuuri choked—he thought Viktor could read minds, he coughed, tears welled up in his eyes, and waved his hands helplessly, Viktor quickly grabbed the coffee and stuffed it into his hands.

"Cough!" He took a sip, coughing more violently - this is Victor's coffee, he put too much sugar, Victor changed the cup for him in a panic, with a smile on his face, he never Taking out a piece of paper from the paper drawer on the table, he wiped Yuuri's nose skillfully.

"You should eat well," when he finally calmed down, Victor said affectionately, "Just praise silently in your heart."

So in the following time, Yuuri ate his breakfast in silence, thinking about how to ask about the sleeping pills.Victor, on the other hand, was in a good mood, and for some reason told a silly joke about an Irishman, a Russian, and a bear walking into a tavern, but he didn't remember his own clearly, and it was confusing, and Yuuri couldn't help it until the end. Didn't understand what the Russians did to the Irish and what role the bears played in it.

"Hahaha, that's funny." He could only say, slapped twice perfunctorily, and put the empty coffee cups and paper bags in one place, ready to throw them into the trash can. Then, his question about breakfast time Suddenly there was an answer.

——The small yellow bottle, which contained not a single sleeping pill, was lying quietly at the bottom of the trash can, looking pitiful.Yuuri didn't say anything, just threw the trash in.

"Get on the road." He said, without looking at Victor again, he took the luggage down the stairs first, but when they reached the parking lot, he offered to pass the car keys, and played a song by Thales on the stereo. Swift's song.Victor didn't say a word during this time, and when their car swung around a beautiful arc, and the front of the car swung towards the exit of the parking lot, he whistled.

"I have a hunch that something will happen today." He predicted with confidence, "something great will happen."

This time Victor finally didn't crow his mouth again.

After four or five hours of trekking, they finally managed to drive past the boundary marker of White Oak Town when the sun was at its worst. When the tallest building in the town appeared in their field of vision, Yuuri who was driving couldn't help being excited I got goosebumps all over my body.

"Victor!" He didn't care about driving safety, and patted Victor who was sleeping on the co-pilot with a free hand. The latter had a lollipop in his mouth, and his saliva dripped onto the front of his clothes along the white paper stick.

"Um, what? Ouch!" Victor woke up suddenly, bit his teeth subconsciously, grinning his teeth as the lollipop clucked, he grabbed Yuuri's hand and put it back on the steering wheel, ignoring the pain. "What happened?" he asked sleepily.

"Tower! Tower!" Yuuri's face was flushed with excitement and happiness. If he hadn't been turning the steering wheel, he would have leaned out to point it out to Victor. He yelled like a baby who just learned a new word, "Clock Tower ! Clock Tower! Lights! Lights!"

"...Wow." Victor folded his arms and shook his head, "Poor baby, you are too tired to speak incoherently." He took out a brand new lollipop from his pocket and began to peel off the wrapper, "Come on, reward You alone, ah..."

"Go away!" Yuuri yelled, "Look ahead! Look beside you!"

"Is it the front or the side?" Victor asked, but he also looked out according to his words. They were driving on a road in a residential area. This residential area looks the same as any small town with affluent life, with beautiful greenery , the city is clean and tidy, and banners are hung every few meters, with the words "Welcome to the Retro Carnival!"

……lamp?

Victor poked his head out of the car window, wanting to see more clearly, so that he could compare it with the picture in his memory. At this time, a piece of evidence that he had to ignore appeared in his field of vision, which made him understand that Katsuki The reason for Yuuri's excited incoherence: a spired clock tower, standing far away in the direction of the city center, looks so familiar as if it has been seen thousands of times.Victor was also excited, half of his body leaned out of the car.

"It's here!" he shouted, "This is...the place in the photo!" At the same time, he felt his clothes being pulled tightly, with an unbelievably strong force, Katsuki Yuuri's voice came through Ironhide passed, sounding panic-stricken: "Come back to me, damn Victor!" he snarled, "It's not safe!"

Viktor is back in the car, his hair down in all directions, and he smiles at Yuuri without saying a word, who pulls his face long.

"How can you……"

"Here it is!" Victor yelled at him, pulling out his phone, "That photo...was taken here!"

He continued to smile, and raised his palm in the air, Yuuri still looked like the boss was unhappy, but he persisted and refused to let go, finally, Yuuri had no choice but to stretch out his hand, and patted his palm quickly, at the same time Thinking of his pet dog Xiaowei—whenever he wants to beg a snack from Yuuri, he always raises his front paws in the air so resolutely, waiting for Yuuri to give it a high-five, he can't help laughing at the association .

"What are you laughing at?" Victor asked, running his hands through his hair, he was also laughing, and looking around, "There seems to be some activity..." he said, as the car drove more and more towards the center of town , the arrangement became more grand and lively, the bushes were covered with colorful lights, pumpkin heads and funny witches were placed next to the trash cans, and a huge Christmas tree was placed on the square in the center of the town... the pedestrians on the road All of them were beaming, with a kind of aimless joy on their faces, and their footsteps were as floating as if they were stepping on clouds.

"...it's like the whole town is on high." Victor muttered, they stopped in front of a traffic light, GPS indicated that they were only one street away from the town's clock tower, and at this time a man dressed like Harry The woman who came out of Pottery led a group of children dressed as the Avengers and jumped across the zebra crossing. "Is this an Easter/Christmas/Halloween and cosplay contest?" he muttered. , "Or is this whole town crazy?"

Two children dressed as Transformers passed by them on a bicycle.

"...I don't know..." Yuuri said, "Wait a minute... I read something somewhere..." He thought hard, "Did you say something about a costume party yesterday, or a retro carnival or something ?”

Victor stared at him dumbfounded, his mouth half-opened. "But, but I thought it was a... belated April Fool's Day joke." He stammered, "Which psychotic genius came up with such a good idea?"

When the green light came on, Yuuri started the car, and they drove towards the clock tower where the crowds were concentrated, and more strange combinations began to appear on the side of the street, Victor's exclamation never stopped, what they saw so far: a A Madonna on the arm of a man dressed as Jesus (“She knows they’re mother and child, right?”), a Lady Gaga on the arm of President Trump (“It’s so unnatural.”), and a crowd Batman in his mid-40s ("Who gave them the right to wear nylon leggings!?").Everyone looked busy and happy, and when they were 200 meters away from the clock tower, they decided to park their cars on the side of the road and walk through the crowd, so that their hands would inevitably be stuffed with leaflets.At the moment, both of them were full of question marks and hungry. When a man wearing half sushi and half hamburger handed them a flyer, the two of them looked at each other and followed him to the restaurant called "Matching" without hesitation. cool" restaurant.
