Saturday withheld Valentine to Monday. The bud grenade had come to buy out the chocolate. I have no promises to Shotaro today, so I'm free for a day.

Valentine's Day this year is not like that every year.

Usually the only thing I made for my family. I gave more to Maiko last year, and from this year on, I'm thinking about giving it to everyone on the board, Takimoto and the chairmen of the committee, and then Tojo and Holy Night, and one more person.

Tomorrow I'm going to the Tojo Group and I'm supposed to meet with Tojo. It seems that Holy Night also has an appointment with Tojo at that time, and I will see him on Holy Night, so I have to have that for you by the end of the day.

"... I wonder if I can give those guys handmade"

It's not like I'm not sure I'm handmade. But it is resistant to give it to the fat people of the tongue. I don't want you to give me handmade and look disgusted. I will give it to you anyway, so I also think bud grenades would like you to be happy.

"When you have a large number of people, it doesn't cost you more to make it than to buy it.... but I think I'll just buy it for those guys"

Mumble to yourself with commercially available chocolate in front of you. Then someone stood behind him.

"On Holy Night, I think handmade would be delightful, huh?

I don't have to turn around to find out who, but the question of why he's here strikes a bud grenade. We know that if we look back upset for now, we will be ridiculed, so the bud grenade took one deep breath and looked back.

"Why are you here... Ugh"

He said he looked back not to be surprised, but he ended up surprised. The bud grenade held his mouth back, regretting that he had rounded his eyes and even spoken to his voice.

Of course I saw the face of the surprised bud grenade and Shin Habara laughed Kerakera.

"What is it, its head"

"Don't be rude. You look great, don't you?

Makoto's hair is darkened. When I saw it on my school trip, it was supposed to be pretty bright with Ash-based colors. Makoto in front of me now had dark brown hair.

If you say it looks good or not, it does look good. Since the charming image disappeared, and it was definitely better than before, but it was a shame to say such a thing, the bud grenade clouded the words "Ma... more than before".

"Practice praising people. Sociality is lacking, huh?

"I don't want you to tell me."

Shin still laughed Kerakera as the bud grenade answered with half an eye.

"So, were you listening? Advice from me."

"Is it okay to hand make it to Mr. Qin Zao?

"I let you eat at a cultural festival, and now you're worried?

Indeed it is. They eat pumpkin custard pie on Holy Night at the Cultural Festival. They told me it was properly delicious, so it shouldn't have been something that didn't fit into his tongue.

"When, just worry about the Holy Night? What about my worries?

"Uh, excuse me. I didn't plan to give it to you."

The bud grenade answers with half eyes. Truth be told, I was just wondering if I'd give it to you. But if I tell you that carefully, I'm sure it will be browned again. So bud grenades answer unfathomably, but Shin has a suspicious grin and says, "Hmm?" He leaked his voice.

"I've had it in my hands a few times since earlier, but wasn't that for three? Thinking about Tojo and Holy Night... who's one more person?

Makoto has asked with a smile. While I can tell that the bud grenade is in Shin's thoughts, when I keep my eyes open, I look at it and it flashes.

"How long have you been watching?"

"Come on, since when?

"Are you free?"

"I happen to be free today."

Makoto flaunts his shoulders and exhales purposefully. It doesn't sound true at all when he says it, but it's probably hard almost every day because he's back at the Hagihara family. If the opponent is not prudent, the bud grenade will honestly work.

"So, you're gonna give it to me, too, right? I like bitter chocolate."

"I didn't say I'd give it to you, and I didn't hear it"

Bud Grenade can put bitter chocolate in his basket even though he says so. I made an excuse in myself that I had originally planned on choosing bitter chocolate instead of referring to Makoto's opinion. I know I'm laughing at Niyanya when I look up Shin's face, so the bud grenade will never give her a face.

In the end, the bud grenade was to choose the ingredients for the chocolate with Shin. That's right, Makoto's opinion was quite informative and the shopping went smoothly.

Shin still stands arm in arm next to a bud grenade packing his stuff into an eco-bag.

"Even so, I didn't think the one who was going to America soon was traveling alone on holiday ~"

"... aren't you alone?"

I'm just saying no.

Makoto's words are facts, not excuses or anything. That's why I can't say back bud grenades. Without a response from the bud grenade, Makoto laughed out in his voice hahaha.

"I was expecting to be with Shotaro Gejo."

Makoto's name comes out, and the bud grenade only looks up. Looking up at Makoto, Makoto grinned thinly and looked down at the bud grenade.

"Why did Gejong's name come up?"

"You know me best."

Makoto glances. Shotaro's name somehow floats in Shotaro's head. But it's about the officers and family who know that, and Shin can't possibly know that.

"I think I've been calling Shotaro Gejo home lately after school, what are you doing?

But Makoto still knows, and I don't know how Makoto knows that, even if Sprout thinks about it.

"Where do you get that information from?"

"Come on, where are you?

I've been expecting you to tease me like that. So bud grenades just frown. Shin laughed Kerakera when he saw such a bud grenade face.

"So what are you doing with Shotaro Gejo?"

In my previous experience, Makoto has never missed me without saying it. Before that, I felt that Makoto already knew about it.

Upon hearing the explanation of the bud grenade, Makoto gave a laugh that he was not sure haha.

"I overcame the dark phobia. I can't, that."

Makoto asks, sighing. "I'm doing it now," replied the bud grenade pointing his lips. Then Makoto laughs haha again and takes up the "Ahsoo" and the packed baggage of the bud grenade.

"Huh."

"I'm free, and I'll send you."

Makoto leaves the department store with his luggage, sayin 'softly. The bud grenade chased such prudent hindsight.

"Tsukasa, why Shotaro Gejo? Not if you ask me, Mr. Chairman, or that idiot."

Shin continues what he just said to the bud grenade he caught up with. That's what Shigeji told me. If a bud grenade depends on it, then it will be.

"... Gejong-kun always cared about the dark spot."

Because Shotaro was the only one who knew. That's all if you say so. But Shotaro cared for the sprouts and helped me many times where everyone didn't know. That's the truth.

"Hmm.... I don't have that sturdy one"

Makoto laughs with a glance. I guess I can't imagine Shotaro looking like that. It's probably not just Makoto. For most people, Shotaro's appearance is unimaginable.

"Hey, Nanahara."

Makoto walks in front of the bud grenade just a little bit. Makoto, one or two steps ahead, was looking up at the sky stained in the sunset.

"If I were in Li Long, I'd be the one helping you in the dark or anywhere."

Makoto shrugs like that and looks back at the bud grenade thing.

Those eyes are black. Shin's eyes are always stained black.

I cannot immediately deny Makoto's words like that. If Makoto was nearby, maybe Makoto would have helped. Shin helped me many times even if I wasn't nearby.

"... Nah"

Makoto has an emotionally unreadable grin, as usual.

Under the beautiful sunset sky, the bud grenades looked behind such prudence.

"... maybe, maybe"

But that's still the story of what if. It never becomes a fact. The only fact for Shotaro is that Shotaro helped.

Baka, don't admit it.

Makoto laughed haha and walked a little in front of the bud grenade.
