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.

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.

Part 2

During the break after the first period, in the corridors. Minatsu Shiina's situation.


This day has finally come.

February 14, Valentine's day.

It's the day where the girls give chocolates to the boys they like, an unjustified activity.

By the way, why can't the boys give chocolates to the girls. If it's a day for confessions of love, there shouldn't be the obligation that only the girls give chocolates. Really, what a bitter Valentine's Day.

——

"Ah, S-Shiina-senpai! Please accept this!"

While walking depressingly in the corridors, I what seemed like a kouhai ran towards me from the back and gave me a chocolate.

"Uh, aah, thank you——"

"Kyaa——! I, I gave it."

"............"

As I haven't even finished thanking her, she returned back with her friends. I waved at them while slightly smiling, before pitting back the chocolate in my left pocket and walk forward.

......It was already the fourth time that I've been given chocolates today. If it was the same as the previous years, the amount should get larger starting from now.

......There are two reasons why I dislike Valentine's Day, and this is one of the reasons. Even though we're of the same gender, if they have good intentions towards me and give me the chocolates for that reason, I'm happy for that. Though that being said, I still don't know how should I respond.

There are three types of girls who give me chocolates; there are friends who give me them as giri, there are girls who bear a sentiment of yearning, and there are serious ones. The kouhai just then should count as the yearning ones, from my impression. But let's not talk about that, since if it's giri, there's no problems. The ones who bother me the most are the ones who are serious, since I, who don't bear such feelings for them, have to reject them every year.......but doing that makes me feel really depressed.

For the ones who are serious towards me, I don't hate them. However, my response would unconsciously hurt the ones I don't hate. Is that retribution for what I did of wrong? I can't help but think that way. Clearly the other one and I aren't in fault, but we still have to harm each other. How contradicting is that Valentine's Day...

These kinds of things repeat every time during those past years, and honestly speaking, there's no real good impressions left in me of Valentine's Day, so it's obvious that I'm in a somewhat ‘irritable' mood.

............

That was until this year.

"O-OK! Then......I'll go give them!"

While imposing myself a cheering mood in the corridors, the other students around made a "Huh!"-like response, but I don't have the mood to care about that today.

Since now, I must, for the first time, give to Ken......give to the boy I love, chocolates! It isn't receiving chocolates! It's to give them! With my initiative!

"......Wu! What's happening! So when your position changes, you don't feel the same! I feel like that......I can't help but to look forward to that since yesterday!"

I was kicking non-stop the wall in a non-injurable level! Though the ones who know me and were walking pass me were asking "S-Shiina? Are you OK?", I didn't have time to worry about that kind of thing!

Different from the chocolate the kouhai just gave me, I took out from my right pocket the chocolate I prepared the day before and examined it......though I failed miserably a few days ago at making it by myself, I ignored the Law of Equivalent Exchange and created the Philosopher's Stone. But because I didn't need it I threw it away, so I gave up and just bought some regular chocolates from a nearby supermarket. Though since it's the type of chocolate I really like and keep on eating, if that guy appreciates it I'd still be happy.

After putting away the chocolate, I walked towards the men's restroom to find Ken. I know that Ken should go to the restroom at this time, so I followed him after that guy had gone out for a while to pursue him. No matter how, giving chocolates in the classroom is intense enough.

As I predicted, what I saw in front of me was Ken returning from the restroom.

"Hn? Oh, Minatsu, you're also going to the restrooms?"

"Yeah, I have things to do in the men's restroom."

"So it's like that, ah no——EEEH!? W-, wait, you, what are you planning to do alone in the men's restroom!?"

Shit, I said the wrong thing. Aaah, that......

"Correction correction. That......right, right. Hey, Ken, come with me for a moment."

"TO THE MEN'S RESTROOM!? WHAT!? Could it be that you want to lock me in a cabin after, Minatsu onee-sama!"

"Who the heck is onee-sama. No, it's wrong......hum. I'm not going to the restrooms, I, I have something to deal with you, Ken."

"Me?"

"Ah, Aaah."

......A-Are, it's weird. Why would I. Why would my heart beat so fast, and my face that red, even if I didn't do any exercise to make me sweat. W-Weird. I was clearly looking forward to Valentine's Day. B-but in front of Ken, my heart can't help but beat that wildly.

"......Hey, Minatsu? What is it? Did you catch a cold?"

"Eh, no, ah, that."

Also, why can't you notice my mood right now! Normally, wouldn't you say "Oho, you'll finally confess to me, Minatsu! Great, enjoy yourself." or some nonsense like that! Even in the classroom today——

"Come to me, every girl from the class! There's a lot of empty spaces in my bag! Hey, hey hey, don't rush! One by one! Haha, how bothersome to be so popular!"

And even 'alone', you were still screwing with that thought! Why is that when other people want to give you chocolates, you don't have this thought! Really, just because of that, Ken you......

A-Anyways, I've gone through that much trouble to prepare it, so if I don't give it...

"H-Hey, Ken. Your hand......take out your hand."

"Hn? My hand? ......C-Can you promise me that you won't chop my wrist?"

"WHAT THE HECK AM I IN YOUR EYES!"

I felt a bit downhearted after the boy whom I'm about to give chocolate said something like that. Ken said at least "S-Sorry" as an apology, and took out his hand.

While I was blushing while saying "Ah, oh.", and nervously took it out from the left pocket and put it in his hand!

"M-Minatsu. Could it be......"

"Ah, hn......indeed......."

While blushing......after checking it, which was in the Ken's palm——I said.

"THAT'S THE CHOCOLATE I GOT FROM MY KOUHAI!"

"HOW ABOMINABLE CAN YOU BE!"

The agitated Ken didn't hesitate to push it back to me! I put it back in my pocket, and am now blushing because of my guiltiness! I f.....failed! I was too nervous that I took the chocolate from the other pocket! It's only when I gave it and looked at it after that I found out.

"Really, this, what's happening......"

As Ken was still astonished, I said "Sorry". Then I hurriedly searched my other pocket, but I was too anxious that I couldn't find it.

"Ah, it's not that, it's not that neither......"

"IS YOUR POCKET A FOURTH-DIMENSIONAL POCKET?"

"Ah, here! Look! An Earth-destruction bomb——Ah, no, it's not that." (T/N: Think Doraemon.)

"WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT TAKING OUT! JUST THEN!"

"You're really noisy, Ken, don't hurry me, you know that my hand might slip."

"WHAT YOU HAVE IN THAT POCKET IS TOO LETHAL! I-I'll calm down."

"......... ......... Ehehe. Sorry for the wait......don't be so impatient......that thing won't run away. Look, take a good bit and you'll immediately go to a magical world like in your dreams......"

"WHAT DO YOU PLAN ON GIVING TO ME AT SCHOOL!?"

I was so nervous that my hand was shaking. Also, Ken interrupts me non-stop, so I don't know what to say anymore.

After a fight that lasted a few seconds, I finally found the chocolate I prepared. I gave it to Ken while saying "Take it."

"Hn? Ah, that, could it be that Minatsu......"

"Ah, yes. Indeed, it's exactly what you're thinking......it's Va-......Va-......"

"Ah, right, what you would give in February 14, would obviously be Valentine——"

"Barette M82A3." (T/N: Berette M82A3 is a type of gun......also, since the pronunciation of 'Valentine' starts with 'Ba-' in Japanese, Minatsu automatically said 'Barette')

"WHY WOULD IT BE AN ANTI-MATERIAL RIFLE! IT'S REALLY NOT WHAT I WAS THINKING!"

"Ah no, I was really surprised by a remark so properly placed......Ah, could it be that Ken you, compared to an M82A3, prefer something like an M99——"

"WHY WOULD I PREFER THAT! And speaking of which, something of that size can't be a rifle, right!?"

"Uuu......"

Ah......what's happening to me! Why can't I honestly say that it's Valentine chocolate! I let down both of my shoulders, discouraged.

"Sorry, Ken. It's really not like me......As soon as I'm not careful, like a frail maiden, I start to use the name of a semi-automatic rifle to cover it up.

"I wish that you could immediately fix the image of the frail maiden in your mind."

"A-Anyways. In fact it's......V-......Valen-......Valentine's Day chocolates."

"Ah, uhm,......to be honest, I thought so since the beginning......that, th-thanks, Minatsu."

"A-Ahh."

"............"

"............"

Somehow, I was embarrassed to meet his gaze, so I kept looking elsewhere. U-Uuu......What the heck. I really didn't thought that it'd be like that! I, I clearly love Ken, and just as I said these past days, something at the level of giving chocolates should be pretty normal! Why......why am I that embarrassed, damn!"

I unconsciously expressed again a secret thought.

"D-Don't misunderstand. It's just, it's just because I like you!"

"What's going on!? Isn't that state of mind a bit too new!"

"That......since it's Valentine's Day. I only wanted to express my good feelings!"

"That's why I wonder why you are saying those embarrassing lines with a tsundere-like tone! How the hell should I respond back!"

"G-Goodbye! Ah! Yesterday, Mafuyu was desperately doing handmade chocolates, so you need to accept them! Even if it's disgusting you'll have to say that it's delicious, and do one or two affectionate things, OK! Though in principle, hugging and kissing is a no-go, you need to read the atmosphere! Do your best!"

"Waitwaitwait, I don't understand what you mean anymore!"

"Uuu! ......I don't get it neither! Y-You, please remember that!"

"Ahh! Minatsu......that Minatsu would run away after saying the lines of a side character!? What the hell is happening to you! Since you've become shy, your mind structure got so complex that it doesn't belong in the same dimension as your surroundings!!"

After leaving Ken with his silly lines, I flew away.

......After having the experience of that kind of thing, somehow, I felt like I've become more like a girl.


Part 3

After school, before the council meeting, Kurimu Sakurano's situation

This day has finally come.

February 14th, Valentine’s day.

The day girls give chocolate to the boys they like. It would be great if it were the opposite.

Anyway anyone as soon as they look at me would say “Kurimu-chan, here’s chocolate for you~~” then give me chocolate, so it’s fine like this. Indeed--Heikyuu Gakuen is heaven, there are many, many good things.

“Here is my harem!”

Throwing the bunch of chocolates holding in my hands on the table, and shouted in a relaxed manner. Hehehe......having so many people being crazy of me is really bothersome. It’s entirely different from a certain vice-president who can only talk!

“OK, from which one should I start!”

Hehehe, my saliva was dripping nonstop. Though each year when I bring them back at home, mom would always say “Oh my, I’ll store them for you, and I’ll take them out when snack time will come.” and then confiscate all of them, so I must really be careful! Though I can’t bring them home, and neither can I hide them......this feeling of excitement is a treasure that I can only experience now!

Like this, I hid in the student council room ahead of everyone, and seized the opportunity to enjoy this feeling. Hn--I feel infatuated, a small mountain of sweets is really awesome.

(Bzzzzzzzzzzzz--)

“Huh?”

As I was going to start my chocolate appreciation party, my cellphone on vibrating mode started to shake. Feeling that my instant of happyness has been interrupted, I unhappily answered the phone:

“Hello, I wish for you that a fish bone gets stuck in your throat.

“Why are you like this, out of sudden!? Kuu, Kuu-chan, it’s me, it’s me.”

“The hell, it’s Anzu......I wish for you that a chicken bone gets stuck in your throat.

“So the level raised!? You, you don’t seem very happy, Kuu-chan. I thought that since it was Valentine’s day, you should be quite happy...,,,”

“I was indeed quite happy before you called.”

“......recently Kuu-chan speaks coldly to me......for what reason......wuu.”

“You should put your hand on your chest and ask yourself,”

“Put my hands on my chest? Ah......so it was actually like that, it was because my chest, compared to Kuu-chan’s--”

I hung up the phone. OK, I should continue attacking this little mountain of sweets--

(Bzzzzzzzzz--)

My cellphone vibrated again......though it’s bothersome, I still pressed the answer button.

“Hello, I wish for you that a human bone gets stuck in your throat.

“How cruel! It’s too cruel in every sense of that!”

I knew before she said anything that it was Anzu.

“......what is it, I’m busy right now, I don’t have time to waste on a good friend who sinned!”

“W-what sinned......Kuu-chan, what on earth did I do to make you think like that?”

“You dyed your hair! You didn’t go to high school! You wander everywhere with your scooter! You speak crudely when you’re in your boss-mode! And you miraculously returned alive!”

“Why is the last one no good? Could it be that Kuu-chan wished that my surgery failed!”

“......at least the Anzu I knew, her surgery failed.

“Aah, anyway, I believe that the me right now is dark history! But didn’t I say it from the very beginning? If I get out from hospital I’ll run around for sure!”

“How could I know you meant it like that! Hn, if I consider the useless parts of Anzu, the persona of a delinquent girl indeed suits you more than the one of a model student......”

“Wh-why does it sound that unpleasant. To be told like this by Kuu-chan......I......I......”

“Ah, Anzu......I’m sorry, I’ve said too much......”

“I can’t help but want to ride my scooter to run off outside--! Yahaa--!”

“That’s the part of you that I hate!”

“Let’s stop joking for now, Kuu-chan.”

“That was definitively not a joke! I can already hear the wind blowing through the phone!”

I know that Anzu has a microphone on her helmet, so at least she’s not holding the phone while riding.

Anzu stopped for a moment, and said once again:

“Kuu-chan, happy Valemtine’s day.”

“Eh, it’s not like it’s my birthday or what......”

“But didn’t Kuu-chan receive a lot of chocolates today?”

“Huh?”

“You made a lot of friends, right?”

“Ah............yes, indeed.”

“Congratulations, Kuu-chan.”

“Hn......thank you, Anzu.”

“It’s nothing......then......I’ll go turn into wind now!”

“......Really, as I thought, I should see Anzu only as the existence that remains in my heart.”

“Don’t say such cruel words carelessly! Kuu, Kuu-chan is mean! I wish for you that you become fat after eating too much chocolates!”

“At least it’s better than being the boss of some strange gang......”

“Huh? Kuu-chan is already the boss of that strange gang.”

“Wuu.”

Speaking of which, there’s indeed not much difference between the safe drivers Red Lotus gang and the Heikyuu Gakuen student council!

“Hng, as expected, Kuu-chan resembles a lot to me.”

“Nonono, I disagree with that conclusion!”

“OK, OK, Kuu-chan, talking for too long on phone isn’t good, don’t eat the chocolate you plan to give to someone by mistake when you’re eating them, got it?”

“How rude! I won’t make that kind of mistake!”

“Ah, so you have someone to give to this year.”

“Huh? Ah......”

“Then Kuu-chan, I wish you a happy Valentine’s day~~!”

“Aaah! W-Wait, Anzu!”

As I tried to hurriedly tried to stop her, it was too late and Anzu has already turned into wind.

I put back the phone that just hung up back in my pocket, and couldn’t help but say to myself:

“A-Actually, it’s not like I took the initiative to give it, it’s, it’s just because Sugisaki was wordy about it, so, so I couldn’t help but prepare it for him!

Though there was clearly no one, I still found an excuse for that! Wuu--! That delinquent girl is always exceptionally sharp on things like this! That’s why I hate Anzu!

“Huh? Did the president call me?

“Su-SUGISAKI!?”

--Sugisaki really appeared! Unyaa--!

“Why, why would Sugisaki be here!”

“You ask me why......it’s because I’m a member of the student council......”

“You’re fired.”

“Huuuh--!? What’s with that shocking development? Why did it become like this!”

“H-how noisy! Anyway, this, this is my harem! Sugisaki can only enter at the very crucial time!”

“W-What do you mean by the very crucial time......”

In response to Sugisaki’s question, in order to conceal my embarrassment, I slightly gasped before saying:

“Even though he was a just normal student, the protagonist, because of special circumstances, was forced to become the pilot of a latest type of robot that the army developed, and got drawn into the war like this, and though many things happened he still fought and won a series of battles, he became the trump card pilot, and thinking that he had no worthy opponent, he thus lost his sense of measure and encountered the powerful machine of the enemy, then because he underestimated his enemy, he was utterly defeated and managed to survive, yet it caused the death of many of his companion, and after he got severely reprimanded by the allied forces and caused his mental state to be damaged, causing him to be unable to go to the battlefield because he got scared of fighting, and although he got out from the front line during wartime and hid in the countryside, he gradually restored his original self by by living steadily surrounded by many gentle villagers, and even more made many friends......but he didn’t think that at that moment, there would be cruel troops of the enemy that would come and violate the village, ‘Damn......I want......I want to obtain strength! I want the strength to fight once again! Not to beat the enemy! Not for myself! This is to......protect the people that are important to me!’ and at the very moment he took his decision, the new machine dedicated to the protagonist appeared in the sky--at this kind of crucial time.”

‘That’s way too heard! I just want to enter the student council room, why would it be so difficult to do so! Anyway I have work to take care of, so I’ll sit first.

“Wuu......”

Without even hearing my order, Sugisaki sat down on his seat as usual. Unyaa......it was all because of the weird things Anzu said, making me so nervous even if there’s nothing......wuu, in fact, there’s obviously nothing wrong with giving chocolates to Sugisaki! WHy would i be like this, really!

My mouth didn’t stop mumbling, and Sugisaki seemed to mind that a lot, so he took the initiative to say:

“By, by the way, Prez seemed like she was talking to someone on the phone......who was that person?”

“Eh? Uuh, yeah......that......”

How, how should I answer? I could only expose a forced smile while scratching my cheek, causing Sugisaki to have a complicated expression.

“Eh......now that you mention the phone, I remember that when we just met, I also saw you staring at the cellphone while showing a lonely expression......”

“Ah, ah--this......”

Now that he mentioned it I think there was something like that. Though I don’t remember being seen by Sugisaki, I indeed looked sometime at the Anzu in my cellphone......it was when her hair was still black, and she was letting a sigh alone......really, Anzu, you were really such a serious good kid back then......sigh.

After feeling lonely once again, Sugisaki contrariwise said nonsense.

“Ah! C-Could it be......your ex-boyfriend......something like that.........no, it’s not right! I shouldn’t ask in depth for something like that! A-As a man, I should not mind such things!”

“Huh? Though I don’t really get what you mean......yeah, it’s better if you don’t mind these things concerning the cellphone thing......”

Comparing her to the Anzu right now......sigh, it’s really depressing.

“Ah! P-Prez would show such a mature expression! T-this, as I thought......”

“......Sugisaki, to keep thinking of the person that’s already gone......it’s actually unpleasant.

Aaah, the serious Anzu from before, COME BACK!

“Waah! So, so it’s like this......guuh, could it be that Prez’s past......that its tragicness surpasses the imagination.”

“......Uuuh, but the people who really have a hard time should be the parents. Their child......would unexpectedly commit that kind of error--ah.

Though her parents showed that they’d be happy if she could simply survive......but as I thought, they couldn’t smile. After all, immediately after their daughter left the hospital, she starts getting bad habits......sigh, and she has changed into a delinquent, substantially changed her appearance, and even though she didn’t become a bad girl inside, and it can’t be helped if she wants to cut off her responsibility, it’s just that the situation become more complex--huh? Why is Sugisaki muttering to himself with sweat over his head while saying to himself:

“M-Mistake......and even mentioned the parents............WAAH! MY HEAD IS ONLY FILLED WITH THOUGHTS ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT WITH THE CELLPHONE! GWAAH! Prez......Prez actually has that kind of tragic past! I, as a man, really have no way to support all this--!? WAAAHH--!”

“Su-Sugisaki, what is it? Ah, right. Sugisaki, here, Valentine’s Day chocolate.”

“IT’S TOO HEAVY-----------------------!”

“Huh?”

After calming down quite a bit, I thought of giving the chocolate, and Sugisaki ended up receiving it with tears streaming down his cheeks:

“IT’S REALLY HEAVY! Prez, this chocolate is really heavy for the me right now! It’s really too heavy--!”

“R-Really? It’s definitively a chocolate smooth and delicate, and with a gentle feeling in the mouth ......”

“I......I, WHAT SHOULD I DO-----!”

“Just simply eat it......”

What the hell is Sugisaki saying? This guy is really hard to understand.”
