98. Valentine’s Day

98. Valentine’s Day

It seemed that he had no intention of answering at all.

Ha….

Due to this guy’s personality, it was almost certain that if I asked him any more, he would end up with a meaningless conversation.

I decided to go just thinking about what was going to happen next.

***

We arrived at the academy building.

Feeling a little tired from Iinazuke’s chocolate, I changed my shoes and started to go inside.

“Hey….”

“…?”

But that was then.

A female student came up to me and started talking to me. The look of her with her hands behind her back. I was taken aback for a moment, but then I came to her senses and asked her.

“Me?”

“Yes….”

I asked again just in case, but it was me.

“Why?”

When she asked me why, she immediately offered something.

Doing something I looked at it….

Its identity was chocolate. It is also carefully packaged.

“Uh..?”

When I was momentarily lost in an unexpected situation, the girl who gave me the chocolate suddenly ran away.

“Huh? Ah… hmm… Go, thank you!”

But she had already gone to another place, and all that remained was the chocolate in my hand.

Huh….

Since this was the first time I had ever seen something like this, I blankly stared at the chocolate.

The only chocolate I received on Valentine’s Day in my life was either given by Iinazuke or given to the entire class by the girls.

But this time, it was chocolate that someone else had prepared for me. So there was no choice but to hear novelty and novelty.

Huh….

“Okay, Haiseki-kun?”

The guy Iinazuke next to me asked if I was okay. I felt a bit sarcastic, but I soon decided to think it was because of my mood.

If you ask me if it’s good or bad, of course it had to be good. However, it was a gift from someone else. However, I also came to know the feelings of others, and there was a certain degree of uneasiness.

Um…. However, it didn’t come as a burden or stress as much as the fact that the heroines liked me. After all, they were the ones I wanted to save from a young age, and then rather ruined them. This was the mind of a child who had nothing to do with him, so it was completely different from them.

However, my thoughts soon ran into trouble once again.

“…?”

“Eh?”

After entering the class, Iinazuke and I froze at the same time.

“What….”

It was because there was a number of chocolates on my desk that I had never received.

From noble mtl dot com

No, it was not a number that could be expressed as ‘never received it’. Even at a glance, it seemed like there were well over 10 of them.

And then I was once again tinged with bewilderment.

As I said before, I’ve never received chocolate from the opposite s*x except for Iinazuke’s. Also, this time, he was the one who said he had already received a total of 4 chocolates, including the heroines. And to this, I added the one chocolate I received this morning for a total of five. It was a car that was already beyond my expectations.

However, there was a chocolate that was well over twice that amount in my seat. At all. It was completely unexpected.

No, if I was supposed to receive this much in the first place, why did I feel so empty when I was in middle school? It didn’t make sense. The only difference between me then and now is my height, some looks, and Iinazuke didn’t spread rumors that I liked him….

“Ah….”

…I had an important realization.

…That’s why.

“… ….”

As I was standing there blankly watching him, Sato approached me with an awkward smile.

“Shujinko-kun~! Are you popular?! As usual, children came and asked Shujinko-kun where he was and left. Ahahahaha….”

“Uh… I know.”

… It was me who felt like I was going crazy because of the burden.

***

After discovering chocolate like that, I sat down and stared blankly at him, and after a while I began to think.

As for the things I didn’t get when I was in middle school, I decided to think that it was because of the rumors I had with Inazuke. Other than that, I couldn’t really think of any reason. And according to that, I thought that it was rather good. It was because I realized that I didn’t have to feel this kind of burden because something like that happened in middle school.

I was feeling the pressure right now. It was because, in addition to presents that far outweighed him, if only one or two, several more came and handed me chocolates after that.

Yeah, obviously I wasn’t wrong. I didn’t do anything like I did to the heroines, and I didn’t feel a sense of responsibility and made up my mind to save them. Some of them just said a few words, or some didn’t even say that. So there is no need to feel pressured.

But it wasn’t that easy.

“After….”

Yes. If you watch anime or manga, you get a lot of things like this, right? After that, it went off without a hitch. Okay. This would just be the product of children’s momentary emotions and mischievous behavior. Cancer, no way.

It was me who forcibly rationalized and moved on.

***

After rationalizing it like that, I was studying to forget him again, when Osana Najimi and Toyoda entered the class.

Then, Osana Najimi slowly approached me as if she was nervous looking at me. The guy’s cheeks were flushed red.

“… ….”

I, who seemed to know what was going to happen, stared at her as expected.

Then she came right in front of me. She turned her head to her side and handed me a carefully wrapped box.

“I don’t think you, like you, would have gotten one, so you’re giving me something special?”

The hand she gave me was shaking slightly. Having received her gift from her, I expressed her gratitude to her anyway.

“Oh, thank you.”

Then she looked at me from the side of her eyes. Then, she immediately showed a very embarrassed expression.

“… ….”

Apparently, it was only then that I discovered the chocolates that were tightly packed in my bag. Actually, there were more in the locker, but aside from that, she seemed quite shocked, as if she hadn’t known I’d gotten this much.

Then she looked shocked for a moment, then slowly sat down and stared into the empty space at her and started slapping her bruises.

… Somehow.

I was a bit sorry.

***

It’s time for lunch.

Naturally, I went to the rooftop with my seniors today.

When I arrived, I saw that the senior had a slightly determined expression. Apparently, he was trying to get me Valentine’s Day chocolate. I remember it being pretty flashy in the original. I wondered if that would be the case this time, too.

While I was waiting for her, she carefully handed me one of her chocolates.

“This is the sea! Juniors!!”

“… ….”

His seriousness and determination up until now were put to shame, and anyone could see that he was nervous and trembling.

There was chocolate in the hand of such a senior.

“… ?”

However, unlike the original, the appearance of the chocolate did not look particularly flashy or great.

In the original work, it was obviously a huge chocolate. The chocolates in her hand were pretty and neat, as if to show off that they were full of care, but at the same time, they were small and few in number.

While I was puzzled by the appearance of the senior’s chocolate, the senior with reddened cheeks said in despair.

“Aren’t you a bit shabby after all? Lol…. I’m sorry, junior.”

“Yes? Oh no, old man. Not at all.”

It seemed that the expression on my face while I was doing something was bothering me. However, I did something different from the original, but in fact I was not disappointed at all. When I told the truth, the senior smiled and said,

“Actually, poetry… My butler advised me that it would be better to make it myself rather than order it…. Integrity is important….”

“Ah….”

Unlike her original story, it seems that Tsuji Shi has given her some advice. So, unlike the original, it was not flashy.

Unsurprisingly, that guy. I think so.

After learning what had happened, I thanked the senior, who was still depressed and worried.

“Thank you, senpai. I don’t know because I didn’t get it, but I think I like the one made by the sunbae more than the flashy or great one.”

Then, the senior smiled happily.

***

After lunch with my senior, I went down the roof and headed to my class.

And then, I met Morish*ta.

And she handed me her chocolate with her flushed face.

“Take this..! Shujinko-kun!”

“… ….”

Judging from the fact that it was handed over right away, it must have been waiting to meet me.

I accepted her chocolate.

Although she couldn’t be called pretty due to her nature of not being able to cook, she was surprisingly ordinary.

After looking at her for a while, I thanked her.

“Thank you, Morish*ta. I will definitely try it later.”

“Oh, yes!”

Then she looked delighted. And she started to tell me a lot of stories, as if she had accumulated a lot.

And when I saw that, I thought to myself.

Yes, later. I’ll definitely try ‘later’.

They said that they would eat it after safety was secured with Kurutta.
