- Let's Make a Deal ch18: Summer Valentine
- p1
- >I'm home~
- >Welcome back... Oh?
- >You went shopping, huh?
- >I wanted to make some chocolate.
- >Why all of a sudden?
- >It's summer right now.
- >It just kinda felt like I need to make some...
- >I wonder why. How mysterious...
- >It's because this chapter is being published close to Valentine's Day.
- p2
- >So with that said, I'm gonna borrow the kitchen tomorrow.
- >It's not borrowing if it's your house.
- >You're going to make sweets, huh?
- >How unexpected...
- >It's been a while.
- >I used to make chocolate every Valentine up until high school, but when college came around...
- >This is what I think of your chocolate!
- >Ohoho
- >Haha
- >No thanks, Hitsuji-san.
- >Is it another painful memory...?
- >I started working part-time so I was able to buy the expensive and delicious stuff.
- >I see. That's good.
- >...?
- p3
- >So on the actual Valentine's Day, you give chocolate to people, right?
- >Do they not do that where you come from, Adel-san?
- >We don't celebrate Christian events.
- >I see... I wanted to get chocolate from you.
- >I can make you snacks any time you want.
- >...I'll give you some next year.
- >Eh? Are you sure?
- >Most people in Japan aren't even aware that it's a Christian event, so there's no problem.
- p4
- >The next day.
- >Okay, let's do this!
- >Do your best, Ryouko!
- >Erm, I need a bowl and spatula...
- >Here.
- >Ah... I don't think I have a sieve.
- >I bought one after you fell asleep.
- >Reminds me of my first time making chocolate...
- >Shall I chop up the chocolate for you?
- >With my mom, that is.
- p5
- >You're actually going about this properly.
- >>Eyeballing it
- >Of course I am.
- >When making sweets, you gotta follow the recipe to a T.
- >To a T...!?
- >Make one small miscalculation and it won't bake properly.
- >Fufu...
- >Add one drop of water and the chocolate will split.
- >You can't stop mixing even if your arm falls off.
- >I think I can see the mistakes that led you here.
- p6
- >I've grown from making the same mistake once a year.
- >You could've just practised on a regular basis.
- >They're pretty much made out of obligation, so once a year is my limit...
- >Everyone makes them and the commercial stuff is expensive.
- >So it was obligatory chocolate, huh...
- >By the way, what are you making right now?
- >Brownies.
- >They don't melt, they don't break, they don't crumble.
- >They're perfect!
- >Just from her choice, I can see the failures she's had up until now.
- p7
- >Oh? You're going to wrap them too?
- >>3 included
- >I feel like I need to hand them out...
- >I wonder why...
- >It's because this chapter is being published close to Valentine's Day.
- >Three...
- >Three included...
- >No doubt she's given some to Kodaka and Himawari.
- >She'd probably give Mahala some too...
- p8
- >Wait, does that mean there's none for me...?
- >Is something the matter?
- >Ah!
- >Is the pattern lame!?
- >Don't worry.
- >I'm just gonna go shopping.
- >Eh? Let's go together.
- >You need to focus on the baking.
- p9
- >Welcome back, Adel-san.
- >I knew it. There's three...
- >I think they came out looking cute. What do you think!?
- >Y-Yes. They're well made.
- >It's for Kotaka-chan and Himawari-chan~ and Mahala-san to be safe.
- >>Shock
- p10
- >That Ryouko.
- >She should know Mahala would just scarf it down...
- >What's this...?
- >That's for you, Adel-san!
- >Let's eat them together later.
- p11
- >I also bought some vanilla ice-cream for the finishing touch.
- >...Hey, Ryouko.
- >Is this perhaps heartfelt chocolate?
- >Yeah!
- >You're special to me, Adel-san!
- >...
- >I humbly accept.
- p12
- >Kotaka
- >Eh? Handmade brownie!?
- >Thank you, Ryouko-chan!
- >She likes it.
- >Good for you.
- >I figured she'd say "It'd be a shame to eat it, so I won't!"...
- >Fufu...
- >I'm going to have it for teatime with some high-quality tea for the ultimate experience!!
- >High society...
- >How did such a well-raised girl wind up as a stalker...?
