Editing Seitokai no Ichizon:Volume9 Short Story (section)

===Part 1===
'''The morning, in front of the school building, Chizuru Akaba's situation'''


This day has finally come.

February 14th, Valentine's day.

It's the day where girls give chocolates to the boys they like, that kind of depressing day.

......Ah no, the me until last year, shouldn't have reasons to hate that day. To me, be it the normal behaviour or not, or is it the atmosphere which influenced me, the boys in my class didn't make a move to extort Giri chocolates from me. Apart from some girls who occasionally gave me some Honmai chocolates, as well as the 5% of people who are more annoying than usual in my entourage, I was not excited over this. <!--(Kira: I don't know much about chocolates, so please proofread this.)-->

But this year, the situation was different.

That's right.


I unconsciously have someone to whom I would like to give chocolates, for the first time this year.


"......Ah, really, what should I do......"

 
Hiding her body behind of the column beside the front door, while waiting for him......waiting for Key-kun to come, while looking inside her bag.

Inside was prepared some slightly expensive black chocolate bought from the department store on the road. The packaging was very unique, wrapping the most simply possible. ......It was indeed 'my own style's' packaging.

"Hm......it, it isn't hand, hand-made. R-right. It should be good."

Since yesterday......ah, no, since a few days ago I constantly asked myself that question and answering to it for numerous times......In fact, in my whole life until now, I haven't given chocolates to anyone, even giri chocolates.

Whatever it is, the 'first time' would always make someone nervous.
 
Especially that I do every other thing with more 'mature' manners than my entourage, so if I fail in this kind of situation, I would be more hurt than every other person.

"It, isn't it weird? To give the chocolate that I just bought to a male junior......hm, even a little bit weird............Isn't it weird?"

Even though I've never experienced that, I can't help but be very bothered if there are errors in my predictions. Clearly the normal me, even if I haven't experienced something, I could act with more confidence. But if...it has something to do with Valentine's day, I don't know why, but I can't be calm at all.

"Calm, calm down, Chizuru Akaba. Why, why does my heart beats so fast. A-After all, it isn't a confession. Right, that, after all, these aren't some Honmei chocolates Right, these are only meant to my junior who always takes care of me, I'll say it clearly that it's giri......giri......"

......Honestly, personally, I have always felt hurt by the word 'giri'. W-What, I! ............As I thought, I need to correct myself.

"It, it isn't giri, OK. Though it isn't giri chocolate......it, it is still different from honmei chocolates!"

For some reason, I started to make a tsundere play by myself. I need to cal-calm down. Huuu. 

......Right, I don't have to really give him the chocolate as if it has some meanings to it. R-Right, here...I can simply act like usual, and it would be fine. 

"Hum. '......come, Key-kun, here's chocolate......ara ara, heh, so you are really that happy. Eh? You are asking if it's honmei? Hehe, is it or not?'"

.................... ..............Wonderful. That's wonderful, Chizuru. This has always been my style. So just like that, I'll carry on the plan.

As I decided to do it like that, Key-kun finally came over with his sleepy head. I hid myself behind a column, and pulled myself back. ......Incidentally, the reason I'm like this that early in the morning, and that I look like someone suspicious to the point that she'd be ready to ambush someone, is because before giving him the chocolate, my mental state would become unstable. For this reason, I want to resolve that matter as quickly as possible. Also, after school, if I was made fun of it by someone in the student council room, I'd also receive rather serious damage.

Key-kun slowly came over here. ......O-OK! I'm coming! GO, CHIZURU!

As I was to do as planned, the most naturally possible...look as if I met him coincidently.


"Aaaaaaaaahhh. .......Uuuuh. Uuuuuh. ......A-ara, what a coincidence, Key-kun." (In a tone without any cadence in it.)


"Waah!? Chizuru-san appeared suddenly from behind the column moving as unnaturally as a robot! 

Wh-What's going on!?"

"Ara Key-kun, what a coincidence."

"Araki-kun? Ah, you have things to do with Araki. Oh, the timing is perfect! Araki! Chizuru-san seems to have things to settle——hmpf!" ('Ara Key' sounds like 'Araki'.)

As Key-kun, for some reason, was calling a male student who has absolutely nothing to do, I hurriedly gave him——gave Key-kun a Kikko-shibari tie and shut his mouth with a gag, and in total there was only two seconds of dread. (Kikko-shibari=きっこうしばり. Search in google images by yourself, NSFW)

"Gaaaaahhhh!? Whayodoin! (What are you doing!)"

"So-sorry, Key-kun. I carelessly by reflex......"

"Wulsmonebreflxdoakikoshibi, Hiurusn! (Would someone, by reflex, do a Kikko-shibari, Chizuru-san!"

"Oh right, Key-kun, do you have time right now?"

"Hokinaipsiblyhve! (How can I possibly have!)"

I couldn't understand what Key-kun was saying. It couldn't be helped, so I took off the tie and the gag. Because of what just happened in front of the main entrance, we took a lot of attention from the other students going to school, so there's no time to think.

Key-kun, who just got rid of the tie, was groping the marks of rope on his hand and on his head while looking at me.

......He's really cute, Key-kun.

"Chizuru-nee......Did, did I do something that made you mad yesterday during the meeting?"

"? It's nothing like this. Ah, don't mind the Kikkou-shibari. There's no deeper meaning for this."

"THAT BOTHERS ME EVEN MORE! AT LEAST GIVE ME A REASON I COULD UNDERSTAND!!"

"Anyways, this doesn't matter anymore, Key-kun. Don't get off-topic."

"TO ME, THE 'KIKOU-SHIBARI MOMENT' WAS THE PUNCHLINE!"

Key-kun is really a rigid guy to the point that he becomes annoying, but I ignored this so that I could make some progression in my discussion.

OK......I'm charging in!

"Here, Key-kun, it's chocolates."

"Why is that so sudden!? Why do I have an inauspicious feeling!"

"......Ara-ara, ehehe, are you that really that happy?"

"What the hell is happening! I-I'm happy, fine? That......t-thanks, for the chocolate. How should I say it......though the course of events is really, you know, but I'm still happy for that."

Ah, Key-kun is really happy. ......What's this feeling, I'm really happy. I'm really happy! What's this feeling. My heart is feeble......the lines I should say, I don't know where they've gone!

Ah, that......what's next. Ah, right, right, expressing my feelings......so it's like that.

OK.

"Eh? You're asking if there's poison or not. Hehe, I wonder."

"I GET THE FEELING THAT YOU GAVE ME A SERIOUS DOUBT——————————"

Ah, Key-kun just screamed in such a loud voice. Hehe, how cute.

Hu～, I somehow have a feeling of satisfaction! OK, I should get quickly to the classroom to molest Aka-chan.

"B-Bye, Key-kun. I wish you a bloody Valentine's Day."

"What the hell were these last words! Chizuru-nee!? CHIZURU-NEE——————!?"

After hearing what seemed like a happy lamentation in my back, I started walking lightly to start this day.
