- Chapter 60 - Valentine's Day and chocolate balls
“How many chocolates did you get?”
“One.”
“What? Who gave you that? Give me one or I’ll kill you!”
“Mom.”
“Uh… um… sorry…”
After the winter break and the start of school, there was already a big event happening. The event was Valentine’s Day. The boys were cheering for Valentine’s Day and the girls were eager to give chocolates to the boys they were interested in.
I was not taking it easy either. I was naturally nervous that Alice, my girlfriend, would give me chocolate.
“Nn?”
I picked up the phone as I left the classroom.
“Yes, hello…?”
“Yo, Sora~! Today is Valentine’s Day!”
“Kouren…”
I don’t want to call him the most today. Well, it’s my fault for picking up the phone without seeing who it was.
“I’ve got 15 honmei chocolates as of now. How about you?”
“…Zero…”
“Hah?”
The usual teasing tone stops for a moment as he says that.
“Hey, hey, hey. What happened to Alice?”
“…Not yet. I’m rather seriously worried about this, but Alice doesn’t hate me, does she?”
I rarely talk to this guy like this, but I felt like I had to talk to someone to do it.
“What? Did you do something to make Alice hate you? For example, you cheated on her…”
“Don’t take me for an idiot. I don’t see any other woman as a member of the opposite sex. I can’t even see them.”
The problem as compared to middle school days has improved a lot, but I still have to put a line between myself and anyone else except for Alice. Well, it’s a good thing, I guess.
“Fumufumu…then…I understand now…maybe Alice will have a very nice surprise for you when she gives you a chocolate ball or something…” (from morinaga prefecture)
“Chocolate balls…”
I am happy to receive a gift from Alice. But, but I feel a little sad about the chocolate ball.
“On the other hand, it’s Alice, so you might as well get to eat her. If there was a large amount of chocolate at your house…”
Unfortunately, I haven’t found that, so that line is unlikely.
“Actually, I wonder why the chocolate ball is such a pleasant surprise.”
“Haha. You don’t know anything about Alice, do you?”
I was about to hang up the phone because I was slightly annoyed, but Kouren continued to talk.
“Alice is no ordinary woman. She’s probably come up with a surprise for you that will make you happy.”
“What kind of surprise is that?”
“What’s the point if I tell you? See you later~”
“Ah! Hey, Kouren! …He hung up on me.”
Kouren hung up the phone. What on earth was that all about? More importantly…what was the pleasant surprise for me?
………
……
…
“Ugh…ugh…”
“Next year… is no more. Let’s do our best when we go to college.”
“Ahh….”
It’s a terrible picture. The guys who didn’t get chocolate left the classroom, while the guys who did get chocolate boasted about it with glee.
The other side of the coin is that I’m on the former side, so when I try to leave the classroom quickly, the hem of my arm is yanked off.
“Ah… So… Sora…? Do you have time… when you get back?”
It was Alice. I immediately spoke up.
“! I have! I’ve got time! I have no plans for the future!”
It’s not something I’m proud of, but I shouted it without embarrassment.
“Good. Let’s go home first.”
“Okay!”
With the bloodthirsty stares of the non-normie group, Alice and I returned home together.
………
……
…
We returned home, but Alice took me back to my room as quickly as possible.
“….”
When Alice returned home, she silently rummaged through her bag, took out something and hid it behind her.
“Well, um…I, um…I wanted Sora to be happy, so…that’s why I made this choice. So…well…don’t pull away, okay?”
Her face was filled with emotions of embarrassment and upset, proof that she really meant what she said.
“How could I deny something that Alice had worked so hard on?”
I assured her, and Alice pulled out a certain pack from behind her back.
It was a chocolate ball that could be bought for about 200 yen. It was just as Kouren had expected.
“I-I’m going to open it…”
“Nn?”
Instead of me opening it, Alice opened it and took out one of the chocolate balls.
“Here, take this… from my mouth.”
“…? Do you…!”
I finally understood what Kouren was talking about.
“H-Here… you… go…”
Mouth. To. Mouth!
“A-Alice…are you serious?”
“I-I’m serious! And you promised you wouldn’t pull out!”
Alice’s face was so cute as she shouted to stifle her embarrassment,
“No… I mean… is it okay?”
“I-It’s okay! Here, take it!”
I touch Alice’s lips as she offers it to me, and the chocolate ball inside is handed to me. I place it in my mouth and move away from Alice.
“Sweet…”
The chocolate seems much sweeter than usual. I was so excited that I wanted to eat more.
“I-I’ve got more…what do you want to do?”
“…Ah… well… Thanks for the food…”
