When I strongly asked for the rear handmade chocolate,

"Huh, really ... do you want this ...?"

She raised her face slowly, shaking her voice.

"Ah, of course, because that chocolate has the" love "of the rear, right?"

"Oh, that's ... what to say, that ..."

She became red and red, and eventually nodded.

"I see. Then I want that chocolate."

"..."

The chocolate may have a slightly distorted shape.

But there is the love of Leah, and her heart, which reminded me, is full of that time with the sword.

"Of course, if you don't like rear, I won't force you .... I just want that chocolate you made."

Then, if you say honest feelings without lies,

"And, but ... The shape has collapsed and the color has changed a bit ...?"

Peria said in a calm voice and looked down at the chocolate at hand.

"I wouldn't mind it at all."

Home-In poor Goza villages, there is only one criterion for evaluating food.

Whether it can be eaten or not.

For me who grew up there, the shape of the chocolate is not an issue.

"Oh, and it's ... it's a strange taste because it's burned in the flames of the

"It was warmed up by the rear flame. It's going to be even better."

“…… Oh, then …………”

"That……?"

"U, uh .... That's it, if you say that ... only one?"

She said so and offered a square box with chocolate.

"Thank you.

Carry a slightly distorted heart-shaped chocolate to your mouth.

It was sweet and rich-it was a very gentle taste.

"How about ...?"

Peria asks the wind that she is scared.

“—Yeah, it's delicious! It ’s the best chocolate I've ever eaten!”

"Ho, really !?"

"Oh, it's true. More than that ... would you like to get the rest?"

"U, yeah ...!"

After that, when I ate all the chocolate in a flash,

"This wasn't scorched ...?"

She heard that with an uneasy expression.

"Oh, it was fine."

"He didn't taste weird ...?"

"It tasted like my favorite sweet chocolate"

"Ho, really ... was it delicious?"

"Definitely the best in the world"

If you say so with a gentle voice to reassure the rear,

"That's right ... I was glad ..."

She exhaled as if she was relieved from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you, rear, thanks for the great Valentine's Day."

"Yeah, thank you all for eating Allen!"

Then we decided to return to our dormitory because it was time.

The way back,

"But I was happy."

The merry rear mutters so happily than ever.

"Well, what ...?"

"Well. Allen fighting so seriously, I saw it after a long time.-Hey, did you want my chocolate so much?"

She smiled like a mischievous child and looked up at my face while leaning down a little.

"Oh, that's ..."

Of course, I wanted.

I wanted so much that my hand came out of my throat.

But it's a bit embarrassing to say it again here right now.

And if I ’m having trouble answering,

"--I am very happy now."

Peria says so and reaches for the starry sky.

In the darkness that spreads all over.

She stands in the moonlight, like a princess jumping out of a fairy tale.

"Oh ... I wish I could continue this happiness forever and ever ..."

She mutters as she puts a wish on the star.

For some reason, there was a deep sadness in his eyes.

"--- Hey, Allen. If it's a story, what if ..." If My Life is decided by God and I can't escape from that fate ... What do you do? "

Peria smiled ephemerally with some resignation, and leaned Koten and her neck.

(It looks like you have some "big problem" ...)

This is not the first time for Peria to show such a face.

(... it's difficult)

What kind of problem is it, is it okay to stick my neck in the first place?

Unless Leah talks, I can't tell here.

So I decided to answer her questions straight on.

"If there is something that binds you and afflicts you-I will slash it, whether it be God or fate ...

For family, for friends, and for important people.

My "Swordsmanship" is to protect everyone.

"Fufu. If Allen, you might really cut anything ..."

"Oh, leave it to me."

"Thank you very much. I am very happy ..."

Peria said so and jumped into my chest.

Thus, “Valentine's Day,” which was full of turbulence, quietly came to an end.
