These translucent, mini dome-shaped rooms are really impressive. As soon as Daphne and Stairmount enter into one of them, the mini dome will fly straight into the sky, as if an invisible elevator has driven them up to the sky. And when the dome has completely stopped, it just floats amid the sky.

They are floating amid the night sky. Shaped like a light mist, the night clouds surround their dome. Even more, the moon is so close to them that they can clearly see its bright silvery white light, as if the moon is straight at their front.

As for the domed room, it is small and minimalist. There is only a mini dining table with chairs for two. But even though it is minimalist, this room is stunningly beautiful. Tables and chairs are made of very old tree smooth wood processed with high-quality standards. Daphne can see some precious gems glittering on the sides of the table. The night clouds are so close to them, the moon is near with them... and the twinkling of the stars becomes much clearer compared to when they watch from the earth.

The waitress leads Daphne and Stairmount to their respective seats. Then, after informing them to call her as they have their food order read, she bows respectfully, then turns around and goes out of the room, thus she rides her flying motorbike to another domed room which is eventually close to theirs, but has been arranged in such a way so that there are some distances between the domed rooms, therefore it won't screw up the romance of the dinner.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA3gqByoor6P
This domed room has been designed for the comfort of their customers, and since they consist of the most respected people so they don't like the idea of their eating activities can be caught on camera, therefore the management team doesn't put any surveillance cameras in the room. Both Daphne and Stairmount immediately take off their respective disguise equipment. Stairmount takes his chair and sits down. "Come on, Daphne. Have a seat."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAk73Y3MllEI
But Daphne doesn't sit down right away. She is looking out of the dome window. "Wow... this place is really beautiful..." Her tiger-orange eyes sparkle with admiration as she looks into the sky.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAtZNliaAXg3
"That's the reason why I want to come together with a special person." Stairmount smiles. "Sit down, Daphne. It would be more comfortable to have a look when you are sitting down."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAC5Ulc8vf7C
"Oh, well... I am just too mesmerized... that I forget to sit down..." Daphne takes her chair, then sits down.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yz9FdJDzY
"What do you want to order?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANATssyEkgzYT
"Ah... everything is okay... all of them look so yummy, after all..."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6igYRiOBl
"It's okay, Daphne. Just order what you want."
220Please respect copyright.PENANARzCsI1TU2M
Daphne curves a little smile. Finally, she gives her choice. Stairmount rings the bell to pass their order to the waitress.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAus1cAOnVeo
"I guess, what makes this restaurant special isn't the food, but the view," Daphne says.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA5Cz8ikET5v
"But my colleague said, it is the dishes which are very delicious, and then because they have many guests from upper-class society, they then expand to the creativity of the appearance. You know, it is very difficult for a commoner to make a reservation here since the wait for reservations is very long they almost have no chance to dine here. I can just slip through by pulling a few strings," Stairmount blinks meaningfully.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA5LfR3lIa6h
"You're so amazing, you are very brilliant in everything," Daphne praises.
220Please respect copyright.PENANANvfeT7K20P
"Not that easy, anyway... it's quite difficult to do, because the rivals are not just the Jupiterians, but all people from the entire Planet. You know, rich people from all over the Planet, their wealth is unfathomable. Even those billionaires from small countries. The rich are rich as hell. The miserable ones are the poor, they are impoverished, retarded, and even often getting oppressed in chaos."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAr4jbptDQqQ
"Just like the victims of the war in Pluto. The oppressed ones are always the commoners. Those who die are also the commoners."
220Please respect copyright.PENANACpDrYknajr
"Sometimes, I ask to myself; Those rich people, those who have influence and power, they actually get it from other people's sorrow and sufferings?" Stairmount stares out of the dome obscurely. "I guess so. Because they can get pleasures that others can't, then we can say that they are dancing upon others who can't get the luxury. Not to mention other more severe things..."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAj4Ljk17ZKM
Daphne knows what kind of conversation Stairmount is talking about, so she says, "Sir, don't be so frustrated. You're going to Saturn tomorrow. You should relax and unwind to get a healthy and strong body."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAfYA8T53bVe
A little while later, the waitress comes to bring the dishes they've ordered, and then she leaves again. Even the waitress is an expert in courtesy, her movements as she walks and serves are very delicate and graceful, she is obviously not just any waitress.

Stairmount smiles widely. "Oh well, you're right. Why should I pass up this very hard-to-get opportunity just by complaining? I should be having fun!" Because I have no other choice. He begins to scoop his dish excitedly.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAyzti5WsD3u
Daphne also eats her food. "Your colleague is correct! This food is really tasty! I've never had such a very tasteful dish like this before!"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAUCKhevy00l
"Glad you like it."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAushmlhO3rK
Daphne's face brightens as she replies, "Whatever I do, if I do it with you, I will definitely like it." Her large, beautiful eyes light up with sincerity as she stares deeply into Stairmount's eyes.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAMilAh4o58K
"Ah..." Stairmount's face turns red.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAjNxbZ2ox14
Daphne continues, "That's right. Even though you just take me to a free-to-reach meadow hill, or just to a lake near the park like we often went to in Sapphire, I am very happy with it. I'm not a girl who is greedy for money or power. I choose a man, not because he is rich, or powerful, or potent or whatever it is. I choose that man, because I fall in love with his personality."
220Please respect copyright.PENANA9HbBltAdtL
"Really? But if that man is poor, then he'll bring his family into poverty, then it will also destroy the household. What I often witness from domestic quarrels is mostly because of money. Do you mind marrying a man who will bring you to such kind of life?" Stairmount teases her.
220Please respect copyright.PENANApb62lMqyEm
"I am certain, you won't bring me to such kind of life."
220Please respect copyright.PENANA4bmpCfz4Ar
Once again, Daphne stares straight into Stairmount's eyes in seriousness, letting Stairmount get stunned.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAqufo70hgzD
But Daphne herself suddenly gets surprised at what she just said. Gosh, those are words that mean marriage proposal to him! He has never said anything about our relationship, how can you say such kind of words! Goddamnit Daphne... how can you be so reckless?! If Mr. Rivers still doesn't want to be bound by marriage, then what will he perceive you?! It will make him uneasy and then gives you a bad impact!... Very ashamed, she quickly corrects, "I really apologize, I misspoke! Please don't mind it!..."
220Please respect copyright.PENANA7Qc7fcAtIq
"Are you sure, you want to get hitched to me?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAqj82IZ5AYQ
It is Stairmount who now stares straight into Daphne's eyes. And making the young woman stunned. "Have you been really sure about it? You have had a total understanding about me, about who actually I am, not only from the surface, but also the inside of me? Are you sure, that you really trust me to be your only life partner, forever? Are you really sure about that?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAudKbL4XL3X
Daphne doesn't directly give her answer; she bites her lip harder than usual, forcing herself to look back at Stairmount, at his piercing, full-of-demanding gaze.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAJJfRlMw8NV
"Are you really sure, Daphne?" Stairmount asks one more time. "We know each other in only a very short time, we don't really understand the real characters of each other. Maybe if you trace me further, you'll find some of my characters that you hate. Are you ready for that?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAr2UgsAdU1r
"Then let me ask you a question; If I answer 'Yes', will you accept me?"
220Please respect copyright.PENANAhc1oJ7rTaC
It is Daphne who throws a demanding gaze at the now-stunned Stairmount.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAPM3wY685C2
"If I say 'Yes', will you accept me?" Daphne emphasizes her question.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAAXvDSABkFE
Stairmount takes the glass of wine in front of him, then takes a sip of it. "One thing I have to tell you, Daphne; One of my flaws is, you and I will be separated miles away, by the breadth and depth of the vast ocean. And I can't be sure how long we must be separated like this. The worst thing is, you must wait for me eternally, and it will let you miss the wedding moment which should be the most beautiful moment in your life."
220Please respect copyright.PENANA5zVBwHTCfj
"I've known about that. And I am ready to wait."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAHuKkZuIPIR
Stairmount feels his tongue goes numb. Daphne's gaze as she answered is distinct and firm.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAewpdMPROMn
"For women, if they have decided to have a relationship with a man, they definitely expect to continue their relationship to the level of marriage. I don't think there is a woman who has a relationship with a man just to break with him in the end. The biggest dream of a woman is to get married with the man she loves. So am I. To tell you the truth, I've never been in a relationship with a man before. Because I have determined, if I really have a relationship with that man, then I should do it until the end. Until the ties of fate unite me with him."
220Please respect copyright.PENANAHDv4c37Jn7
After that, a very long tranquility continues. The tranquility, accompanied only by moonlight and twinkling stars. But even though she just keeps silent, Daphne still emits a look of determination in her eyes. The look, which is full of firmness with all her words, one hundred percent. And, she keeps staring at Stairmount whose face is filled with astonishment.
220Please respect copyright.PENANA4fl4EItrv6
A second later, Stairmount extends his hands, to stroke Daphne's both cheeks. He brings Daphne's face close to his, and slowly but surely, he touches his lips in hers, and presses his against hers.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAqgADUXIvJO
However, this kiss is different from the one he has previously shared with her. When he kisses her lips, he also tucks various kinds of energies into his kiss. The energy of passion, the energy of belief, the energy of commitment. The firm, full-of-determination energy to unite. The energy to keep persistent, to live this life together with her regardless of any kind of possibilities in life. Regardless their life will be happy, or sad, or joyful, or sorrowful... or whatever. They will keep living this life together. For eternity, until the end of their lives.
220Please respect copyright.PENANAte8KruI9nq
As Stairmount releases his lips from Daphne's, he says with great compassion. "Thank you for your trust, Daphne. Please wait for me. After this has been over, we will celebrate the wedding ceremony that even our children and grandchildren will remember forever."
