Yukikaze

(I wonder if Akuta gifted his chocolate already.)

(I made chocolate for Kaede too, but…)

……

Kaede

Oh, there you are, Yuki-nii. I finally found you!

Yukikaze

Kaede

Yukikaze chocolates

Kaede

Here, Happy Valentine’s Day!

Yukikaze

What’s this…?

Kaede

It’s some chocolate from me!

Yukikaze

!

Kaede

You know how you always give me chocolate and make them together with me every year?

Well, this year, I wanted to make them myself, so I could give you some too.

Yukikaze

……

Kaede

Yuki-nii?

Yukikaze

I thought that…

I thought that you were finally about to leave me behind as your brother.

Kaede

Huh?

Yukikaze

I suppose I was jealous of someone that didn’t even really exist…

I’m beyond happy to receive the chocolate that you put your whole heart into making.

Kaede

Woah, Yuki-nii… You can’t just hug me out of nowhere like that, it kinda hurts…

Yukikaze

Thank you… I’ll savor every last one.

Kaede

Eheheh. I’m super glad to hear that you like them!

Yukikaze

I’m a bit late, but… Naturally, I made you some chocolates too.

Is it alright if I give them to you, Chief?

Kaede

Of course! I’m always happy to get them! Thanks, Yuki-nii!

Akuta

Teach, are you free right now?

Kaede

Akuta-kun! You did a great job today.

How did the students like it?

Akuta

Oh, um, they loved it. Again, thanks for helping me out a bunch.

So… Ummmm… Well, like…

Kaede

?

Akuta

Teach, here, take this…

Kaede

A box of chocolates…? This seems pretty expensive. Can I open it?

Akuta

Be my guest.

Golden Egg chocolate

Kaede

…Wow…!

(There’s a single piece of chocolate in the shape of a shining golden egg…!)

Akuta

I originally planned on giving you the other 15 too, but a lot of stuff happened, and this was all that was left…

Kaede

…Oh, I see. But I’m really happy that you gave me something!

Akuta

Really…?

Kaede

I’ll give it a taste now, actually.

Akuta

Oh, wait, hold on. Your hand’s dirty.

Kaede

Oh, you’re right. I was looking at some documents earlier, so I guess I got ink on my fingers…

Akuta

In thaaat case! I shall do the honors and⁠—

!!

(Wait… isn’t this totally like when a lovey-dovey couple feeds each other and all that…?!)

Ummmmm…!!

Kaede

Akuta-kun?

Akuta

Y-You should eat it quickly before it melts!

Kaede

Nom.

Akuta

Phew…

Kaede

Mm! It’s delicious…! It’s not overly sweet, but the rich creaminess just melts in your mouth…! There’s something so nuanced about the flavor… This is unbelievably good!

Akuta

…!! Thanks for the fire food review!

Kaede

Ahaha! Thanks, Akuta-kun.

Akuta

Actually, I have another gift too.

Kaede

Hm?

Akuta

Please direct your attention to the tablet over here!

Aaaaand click.

Kaede

This is…!

Akuta

A special movie compilation of your happiest smiles! I put all my work into making it!

Kaede

(It’s a bunch of footage from all of our study trips and tours up until this point… They’re all clips of me smiling…!)

(This is a little embarrassing, but…)

I didn’t know I always had such a big smile on my face.

Akuta

Yup! I looove seeing you smile!

Kaede

Akuta-kun… I can’t believe you made all of this for me. Thank you so much, really.

Oh, right. After I finished up my work, I was thinking of giving these to everyone, but…

Akuta chocolates

Kaede

Here, this is for you!

Akuta

The sweet smell coming from the box, don’t tell me, could it be…!?

Kaede

Yuki-nii taught me how to make these! The shape is a little wonky, but I made sure to practice, so I promise it tastes great.

Akuta

There’s so many chocolates in the box… Are you sure I can take this?

Kaede

Yep. It’s all for you!

Akuta

……W…

Weeeeeeeeee’re…

WE’RE SO BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

Kaede

Akuta-kun, I’m glad that you like it, but it’s nighttime, so lower your voice a bit…!

Akuta

Oh, oopsies… sorries.

I got a whole box! YAAAAAAAAAY! I’ll make sure to savor every last pieeeeeeece!

Kaede

Ahaha. Pretty impressive that you can yell so quietly like that.

Akuta

It’s decided. I’mma make a movie for you next year too, and the year after that, and the year after that, forever and ever and ever.

So I hope you can continue showing me all sorts of smiles, Teach!
