I got seated nervously after being declared excited by Mr. Maple.Shit, your heart's already ringing so high that it's about to fly out of your mouth.Why is it not the first time a girl gets Valentine's Chocolate?

Asked Shinji, who sat next to him with a glimpse of his eyes, he had an unusual soft smile.Why aren't you nervous?

"Nervous? Why? Instead, it will be fun.I can't stop wondering what kind of chocolate she loves. "

Is this the leeway for a man called the school's first couple?I can't.My chest hurts so much that if I'm not nervous, I might be able to handle it.

Yes haaaaaa!Thank you for waiting, gentlemen!That said, Shin and Josie are the only ones here.Do you want a special Valentine's Chocolate that only two lovers can send me?!??

You want to go to New York!?Oshitsuki-san with his fist in the sky.Is the story old?And isn't it tense?Mr. Maple also looks happy with Niconiko's face.But I can't keep up with sudden high tension.

"I want Akiho's handmade chocolate!!

Shinji raised his fist in the same way with a full smile on his face.Why don't you adapt quickly? Oh, Maple-san, why are you looking so unhappy?Would you please stop looking at me like Puy?

"Hey, Josie! Josie doesn't want Maple's Valentine's Chocolate?!??

"Will you eat me...?

Kaede-san murmured very sadly in contrast to Otsuki's high tension.Wait, why am I the bad guy!?Don't you want some? Don't joke.Is there such a thing?

"I'm sure you want to eat it!!

"Uh-oh!! Josie, I told you so!!!It's about time, so I'll give it to you right away!!

Where does such energy come from?Oshitsuki shook the drum roll in front of Shinji in a small box with a cute pink wrapper.The ribbon is carefully attached, and the sticker with the message is handwritten by Otsuki, "Happy Valentine!It was written.

"Wow, thank you Akiho.Hey, can I open it?

"Fufufu, of course, Shin-kun!

Otsuki answers with a thumbs-up.Shinji slowly removes the ribbon while shaking the candle and body, and peels off the packaging.I opened the box. It was in there.

"Shin-kun's favorite gato chocolate!I think Shin-kun, who is not good at sweetness, can eat it because it is a little bitter.Come on, have some!

"... no, I'll stop now.I'll eat it slowly later.You can't flirt in front of Yoshiya and Ichiba, can you?

Hey, Shinji! What are you going to do in someone's house!?Is that it, or are you going to feed each other?!I won't forgive you for that!?

"Yes, yes. Calm down, Yoshiya.Don't worry, I won't do it here because the stimulus is still too strong for you.Instead, you see, Ichiba is waiting for you.

"Yoshiya, is it about time?I've worked hard to make it... and I want you to eat it. "

There was a thin-cut chocolate cake on the plate in front of me as Maple-san whispered.I take a breath without thinking that it is complete enough to think for a moment that I bought it at the store.

Plenty of sweet scent with nostrils.Still, there is a slightly refreshing fragrance.If you look at the cross section, it consists of three layers.

"Three layers of chocolate sponge, mousse and cream.In between is an orange cream accent.It was coated with caramel. "

He explains, but he's just stunned.Valentine's chocolate, even if handmade when I was a junior high school student, was like cookies, so I started with something authentic.Who can predict?Three floors!?Accent Orange Cream!?Caramel coating is comparable to a reservation at a luxury confectionery store like this!

"Well, what do you think...?Does it suit your mouth?

"Yeah, it's delicious.It's so delicious. I've never had such a delicious chocolate cake.Thank you, Maple-san. "

"Josie, that's it!?You're not a good eater!Is there anything more!?Come on, squeeze it out!

Shut up, Otsuki-san! I wish I could say something smart, but no words came out.Maple-san, don't look at me with your eyes twitching.I'm angry with Shinji's yakiyaki side.

"I wonder what that means.Of course it tastes good, but I'm really glad you made all this stuff.I mean, it's hard to make sweets by hand, right?And yet, I didn't expect you to make this much from scratch.Do you think it would make me happy... "

At the same time, I swallowed the words that I was sorry.One step. Yes, I should have taken one step ahead.A fearful thorn in your heart makes you hesitate, but you have to change.

Thank you, Mr. Maple. Make me such a delicious cake.I'm getting a lot of feelings from you.Good to see you again. "

"... Yukiya-kun... yes!Welcome!

As I said, I enjoy the sourness of orange and the sweetness of chocolate.Harmony with two flavors in the mouth.I can also taste and eat Maple's thoughts.When I noticed it, it was gone on the plate.I wanted to eat more.

"Fufu, it's okay.There are still a lot of them.Would you like a refill?

"Ahh... I want to eat, but I'll stop.I'll eat again tomorrow night.Do you mind?

"Of course. Let's eat together.Ahhn, I'll give it to you. "

"Ha ha ha. Then why don't I, uh, let them eat together?

Kaede-san opened her eyes to a casual word.That's not all.The air in this room has hardened.Ah, did I say something terrible just now?

"Hey, Sin-kun.Did you hear what Josie just said?Ahhn, let's eat together.Are you in love?

"I heard that, Akiho.Yoshiya said we should eat together.I should have recorded it. "

Shut up, you two!Or maybe it's time for you to go home!?

"Yes, Sin-kun.If we stay any longer, we'll be in the way of the two young people, so why don't we take our time? "

"Yes, Akiho.It's bad to interrupt the sweet night alone, so shall we go home? "

Shinji and Otsuki (Bacchus) returned smiling as they prepared to return from the early work of electrochemical petrification.Shinji sent a message to my handy smartphone.

Be nice, Yoshiya.

"Thank you so much, you stupid bastard!

Patience made me want to throw my phone, so I went back to the living room.Mr. Maple was still freezing.

Oh dear, please restart now.

~ Conversation between Shinji Nippori and Akiho Otsuki who left the apartment ~

"Hey, Sin-kun.I feel like I forgot to ask something very important.... "

"Yes, Akiho.I forgot to ask why you two lived together. "

"Ugaaaa!!Instead, I listened to you more than to chocolate!I forgot the love air between the two of you!

"Hahaha... well, you don't have to ask.Two of them will talk to you.I'm sure. "

"That's right! I'm sure Josie's going to give me a gelo!Hey, Sin, what do you think the reason is?

"Nh... I wonder, is it possible that you live alone in such an amazing apartment?

"Ah, yes!Maple's love for Josie is halfway there!Live with me or I'll die!or something. "

"No way, it's not just Mr. Ichiba.Instead, I might have pushed you into a situation where you can't escape.Ichiba is so smart. "

They were on their way home with a conversation that they were not sure about.
