「Andou-kun, good morning.」

「Good morning, Asakura-san」

Valentine. (Asakura & Andou)

Today is what we call valentine’s day! For this day I've brought handmade chocolate for Andou-kun, but now that I'm about to give it to him I'm nervous&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; uhm, what should I say when I give him this&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Not good. I've been too engrossed in making the chocolate, I didn't consider how to present it at all! (Asakura)

Today is valentine's day&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Yeah, it's the day for a f.u.c.ked up event livening those bunch infesting the earth known as 『Riajuu』. Haah&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; At least, if only chocolates in this school disappear. (Andou)

A-alright! When it comes to this, I'm not the one presenting it if I make Andou-kun say 『Aah~, because today is valentine, I really want chocolate~』, 『It can't be helped! Then, I'll give you this handmade chocolate I made by chance yesterday!』 let's aim for this kind of flow! (Asakura)

「A-Andou-kun! To, today&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Did you know what day is it?」

「Asakura-san, today is  February 13th! It's 32:30* now. There's nothing more nor less!」

「&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Ah, yes.」

This is not good! For some reason today, Andou-kun's mood is awfully bad! W-what's wrong, Andou-kun? Where has your usual loner aura gone to!? (Asakura)

This is bad&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; No way, even that Asakura-san is being stained by this crazy event! But, why did Asakura-san ask me that&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Maybe, chocolate for me―― oi, nay, nay! Stop it, me!  Abandon such wishful thinking! If I'm being stained with valentine’s expectations, I will eventually spend the night in sorrow since I won't get any chocolate until the end of day, won't I?! Until now, how many years this feeling has kept going on&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; (Andou)

Kuh! Making Andou-kun saying that today is 『Valentine』 as it is is hard&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; By the way Andou-kun is the only 『Loner』 in the cla.s.s so it might be normal for him to hold negative sentiment towards events like 『Valentine』&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Nn? Then, wouldn't it be fine to use that as pretext?

First, let's make Andou-kun admit that today is 『Valentine.』 And then, when Andou-kun's spirit is weakened, the most beautiful girl in the school will give him chocolate. He will behold me as if I'm an angel&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Finally, Andou-kun surely will fall for me! Alright, this is it! I will go with this strategy! (Asakura)

First period break.

「A, Andou-kun. What kind of day today is, it's actually――」

「That's right, Asakura-san! Today is the thirteenth day of February which is the release date for CA Bunkou*!」

Second period break.

「Andou-kun! Don't you have any favorite sweets? I'm ch――」

「Chalk, right! Yep, as the lime crumbles, the crispy taste spreading on the mouth is delicious!」

Third period break.

「Andou-kun, can you list 5 foods that used cacao?!」

「『b.u.t.ter』『Jam』『Sake』『Tea』『Mole sauce*』over, ＱＥＤ*！」

Fourth period break.

「Andou-kun! Dark, sweet, and some have a deep bitter taste, what kind of food is it?」

「Confectionery.」

Lunch break.

Haa&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; In the end, I couldn't make Andou-kun admit the existence of 『Valentine』 until lunch break. If this keep going on, the school will end before I can hand this chocolate over! (Asakura)

Ee–eh&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;? Why does Asakura-san keeps bringing up the topic of 『Chocolate』 to me? Since it's impossible for the most beautiful girl in school like that Asakura-san to give a chocolate to me&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Rather, she requested me to? Nay, nay, n.o.body will aim for a 『Loner』 like me―― oi, maybe it's 'that'?! (Andou)

「A, Asakura-san&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」

「Eh! Andou-kun? W-what is it?」

「This is&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Present.」

「He? This is&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Tirol* chocolate? W-why Andou-kun, a chocolate for me!?」

「W-why is&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; earlier, when it's break time Asakura-san said――

『Somehow in previous years, female juniors gave me valentine's chocolates&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Occasionally being on different circ.u.mstances seems nice~.  But there's no partner huh~ I wonder if there's somebody out there that's craving for chocolateー?』 *peek!* *peek!*

―― something like this, right? So I thought, 'perhaps Asakura-san wanted a chocolate from a boy?'&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Am I wrong?」

「&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」*smile* *smile*

That's wroooooooooong! Instead, why did it turn out like this!? (Asakura)

That smile&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; As expected I've read it right! Not from female juniors but someone 『with different circ.u.mstances』―― Right, for example a boy which is 『somebody out there that's craving for chocolate』, doesn't this mean I should give Asakura-san one? That's the meaning of the previous airs. I seeー Asakura-san likes 『chocolate』 that much, huh. That's why she appealed for 『craving for chocolate』 desperately. Fuh, I'm glad. Luckily I have a chocolate that I bought for me at a convenient store this morning in my pocket. (Andou)

Geez! Andou-kun didn't understand how I felt&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; This, this kind of cheap looking chocolate――&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;B-but, even if Andou-kun only gave me something like a Tirol, most importantly I got chocolate! Ufufu, what should I do! Even though it's just a tiny chocolate&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; E-even though it's just a Tirol! Just by getting something from him, my face is&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Mortifying~! But, I'm grinning! *grin* *grin* (Asakura)

Oh! Asakura-san. Even though it's just a Tyrol chocolate she's been grinning in delight&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; It's a little bit repulsive though, liking chocolate to that extent. (Andou)

「A, Andou-kun!」

「E, ah, yes! What's up, Asakura-san!」

「For you who gave me chocolate, I'll give you this!」

「This is&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Eh! Cho, chocolate!?」

「Ah! D-don't take me wrong! It's not like, I made this because I want to give it to you today, it's because I made chocolate and by chance there's some leftover!」

「Eh&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Y-yeah.」

N-no! With this, won't it look like that I said that I made this for Andou-kun, right?! W-what should I do&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Andou-kun, will he realize my feelings? (Asakura)

I get it&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; This means, Asakura-san made this chocolate for herself, right! Even then, for a supposed to be palm-sized heart-shaped chocolate, this is quite big&h.e.l.lip;.. 'Heart-shaped for herself, how strong  is her narcissism?'- I can't say I didn't think this way, but as expected even Asakura-san is embarra.s.sed to eat this so she exchanged her chocolate with mine, isn't it? (Andou)

「Asakura-san, thanks&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」

「Un!」

Even if what I get is leftover chocolate&h.e.l.lip;..This is the first time in my life I got a chocolate from a girl! Let's eat this slowly at home. (Andou)

Yeay! That Andou-kun is taking my chocolate! Kyahho-ii!! (Asakura)

That day, why is the first valentine chocolate I eat in my life―― salty&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Really, why? (Andou)
