“――up.”
A voice as pleasant as an angel’s chime that could be heard from somewhere.
“Wake up…”
A sweet and wistful voice, no other voice could soothe my soul like this.
“Kojiro. Wake up.”
I woke up to my name being called out, and was startled.
I was astonished to see the cool-headed and peerless angel in front of my face.
Her beautiful face was a very familiar one in this household.
But what surprised me was her current outfit.
“Shi-Shiori!? Y-You!?”
She had a ribbon wrapped around her naked body, and she landed right on top of me.
“So?”
“W-What do you mean…?”
“Does it… suit me?”
Shiori asked shyly, which made me crave her very very much.
“I-It looks good on you. But why are you dressed like that――”
“It’s Valentine’s Day, right?”
“T-That’s right.”
“Fufu. I thought of it as a way to thank Kojiro for always taking care of me.”
She said this to me while her face turned bright red.
“The chocolate is me.”
Then she rubbed up against me.
Her warm body heat can be felt――not…
No, she’s naked, so her body is probably cold.
“Eat a lot…”
“――Bon appétit! ――Areh?”
And before I knew it, Shiori who was in front of me suddenly disappeared.
I looked around, not understanding what just happened, but there was no sign of Shiori being here at all.
As time passed, an answer came to my mind.
“――The end of the world…”
I woke up, covered my face with my hands and slammed my head into my knees.
It really is the end of the world to dream about something like that. How much do I crave chocolates for Valentine’s Day? And the content of the dream was so shallow…
Shame! Shame! Shame!
“――Kojiro. Shut up.”
Suddenly, the door to my room opened and I saw Shiori in a dog apron――not a ribbon outfit like the dream.
“Shiori… You’re back.”
“Yes. ――Dinner will be ready soon, so eat it before it gets cold.”
“Ah, yes. ――Is it time already?”
I looked at the phone on my bedside table and saw that it was already seven o’clock in the evening.
“You’ve slept a lot. ――Hurry up.”
With that, Shiori returned to the living room.
The conversation was, as usual, ruthless today as well.
It’s Valentine’s Day, so here’s a chocolate cake! ――If it had been such a surprise, I would have been so happy I could fly.
But, the menu of an everyday life destroyed such an ideal world in my head.
Teriyaki yellowtail with pork miso soup and salad――what is this Valentine’s Day? Is it delicious? State.
And since it looks decent, she skimped a little on the menu.
“Itadakimasu.”
As a sign of gratitude for the food she always cooks for me, I give thanks as usual and we start to eat our meals.
The main course, the teriyaki yellowtail, was delicious, although I would say it was a bit skimpy
Well, we all make mistakes when we try to do our best. It’s best to put out about 80% of your effort in everything. There is also a saying that it’s best to eat eighty percent of your food as well.
“Did you get any chocolate today?”
“――Eh…?”
I almost dropped my chopsticks at the sudden question, but I managed to endure it and answered.
When I looked at Shiori, she had her usual blank expression and looked uninterested even though she had asked me.
“N-No… Ze… ro…”
The agony of answering zero hurts a man’s pride.
But this air smells like something I could actually get one from Shiori!
A man’s pride is nothing but a drop in the ditch if I can get some chocolate. It’s not worth a damn!
If I can get chocolate in exchange for my pride, it’s a small price to pay for salvation.
“Is that so…”
Slurp.
As Shiori sipped her pork miso soup, for some reason I caught on and sipped mine as well.
The taste of the pork broth fills my mouth. A little bit of shichimi (seven spice) adds just the right amount of stimulation to warm up the inside of your body.
No, it’s delicious, but it’s not what I want to eat right now.
And then, Shiori puts down the pork broth and――.
Eats the yellowtail!
“――What?”
“Ah, noー…”
Scratching my head, I said to Shiori, ‘Choco! Choco!’ I reminded her.
Even if it’s just a provisional position of being a fiancee. Get the message! You can read my mind, right!?
“I think I did a pretty good job with the yellowtail today, even though I skimped on it a bit. Is it good?”
“Yes. It’s good.”
“Good.”
Shiori looked a little happy and put her hand on her food.
“N-Noー. Will there be any dessert… after this?ー”
Shiori replied to my slightly obvious question without looking.
“You don’t usually eat dessert.”
“That’s rightー”
With that one sentence, the conversation was cut short, and today’s dinner table between the two of us came to an end.
“This year, too, it really is zero…”
I laid down on my bed.
The fourteenth is almost over.
I can’t believe it’s really zero…
No, it’s crazy, right?
Even though she’s my “fiancée” and “housemate” at the same time and yet there’s not even any obligation chocolate coming from her… Is there such a thing in this world? There isn’t, right? Reality is not that cruel, right?.
Ahー… It’s okay… It’s fine… I’ll never be able to get Valentine’s Day chocolates for the rest of my life.
Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is all about friend chocolates. Giving chocolates to a boy you like, confessing your love with chocolates, or giving chocolates to a person who has been good to you is an old-fashioned trait. Nowadays, people put more effort into Halloween than Valentine’s Day. It’s because it’s just that kind of an era! In this era of change, events are changing too!
――Let’s go to bed. To hell with Valentine’s Day.
But… I’ve slept a lot since I got home today, so I can’t actually sleep right now.
What should I do? I guess I’ll have to go to school tomorrow with no sleep.
No, I don’t know, I’m just so tired… I think I’ll skip tomorrow…
As I was vaguely thinking about this in my head, I heard a door open, and felt the presence of someone in front of my bed.
“――Kojiro? Are you asleep?”
I’m surprised at the question that was thrown in a pitch-black room.
“Ah… No… I’m… awake.”
I got up and tried to turn on the light, but Shiori said, “Ah…”.
“Don’t turn on the lights…”
When Shiori said that in a quiet voice, “Ah, y-yes…” I obeyed her obediently.
Now that my eyes have adjusted to the darkness, I can see what Shiori was currently doing.
She sat down on my bed, wearing her usual nightgown.
Her face is slightly down, and I can hear the rustling of plastic in her hands as she holds something in front of me in the darkness.
“I feel sorry for you that you haven’t gotten one, so I’ll give you one instead.”
I’m slightly panicked at the suddenness of the situation, and I took the transparent package in front of me.
I can’t see it clearly, but it looks like there are several small chocolates inside.
“T-This is…”
I swallowed my saliva and stared at the bag I was given.
“I think it’s what you wanted.”
She said simply, letting out a small sigh and sounding as if she was saying, “Good grief.”
“When you have an aura like that, I just have to give you some.”
“That’s… I’m sorry…”
――Which means it’s an obligation chocolate…
I was that desperate… It wasn’t a smart way to get the message across.
――But that’s just the process. It doesn’t matter.
“It’s the first Valentine’s Day chocolate in my entire life…”
That’s right. The point is the result. All’s well that ends well. I got the first chocolate of my life. That’s the result. I don’t care about the process or anything else.
I couldn’t control my elation and couldn’t help but express it out loud.
The embarrassing words that naturally came out of my mouth were met with, “Fir-…st…?” she said.
“W-Well yeah…Shiori is the first girl who ever gave chocolate to me.”
“I-I see…”
Shiori put her hand between her thighs and lightly rocked her body back and forth.
“――Can I eat it?”
“Y-Yes. It’s already Kojiro’s, so you can do whatever you want with it.”
“Then―― Itadakimasu.”
There was no reason to think about my already brushed teeth since I didn’t expect to be eating chocolate right before bed.
I took a bite-sized piece of chocolate out of the package――and ate it.
“Oh, it’s delicious…”
To be honest, I was too happy to actually taste it well.
But there was one thing I had decided.
If I ever received Valentine’s Day chocolates, I would tell her how delicious they were right in front of her.
This was the moment when this wish of mine finally came true.
“Thank you. Shiori.”
“W-Welcome…”
After thanking her, Shiori stood up.
“――From――.”
She stood up and seemed to say something in a quiet voice, but I couldn’t catch it and asked again, “Eh?” and then she looked back at me and said.
“Kojiro is my first too――giving Valentine’s chocolate.”
When she said these words, which were sweeter than the Valentine’s Day chocolates I received, she said, “Oh, good night!” in a rather impatient voice and tried to leave the room.
But she was in such a hurry that she tried to leave before the door was fully open and so she bumped her body into the door, leaving behind a cute scream, “Ouch” as she went back to the living room.
It was oddly cute because she always acted so cool in front of me.
“It was the first time Shiori gave it to someone――and the first time I got it too――”
I instantly felt my face heat up and my heart beat faster after thinking about it for a bit.
My heart was palpitating and I was in pain, but I didn’t mind the pain. In fact, for some reason, I feel comfortable with it.
This――Valentine’s Day――Isn’t it the best.
A/N:
Good for you Kojiro…you’re not on this side (the author’s side)… (tsk) lol.
