- A Special Day for Students
- February 14th. Underneath the cold winter sky, I came to this place, a slight distance away from the dorm.
- An invitation from Kiyotaka via mobile to rendezvous here.
- I had desperately been hiding my ever quickening heartbeat from Kiyotaka during our conversation.
- To give someone chocolate.
- If I were to start counting all the way from childhood, it wouldn't be my first time doing so. But whenever I let my guard down, I can feel my face reddening.
- "What day is it today? Alright, 5, 4, 3---".
- To conceal my embarrassment, I chose to poke fun at him with such a quiz.
- "...that was easier than I expected. On the contrary, it's making me feel like I won't get it right".
- "Don't beat around the bush, give me a straight answer, ok?".
- It's okay. I just need to be the 'cool me'. It's okay.
- "Valen---".
- "Alright, correct answer".
- I got really embarrassed and even as I covered it up with words, I hit Kiyotaka's head with the box.
- "Is this for me?".
- "I actually prepared this for Yousuke-kun but that's no longer necessary".
- I lied.
- The truth is, I bought it a while back while fretting over this and that.
- I bought it just before the shop closed so I doubt anyone saw me.
- "For Hirata, huh?".
- "What? You don't like that?".
- "No, I was just thinking that meant you've spent quite a while preparing for Valentine's".
- There's no way a phony, transparent lie like that would work against Kiyotaka but that phony lie is the only option I have here, isn't it?
- If I told Kiyotaka I bought it for him then......that'd just make me look like a maiden in love!
- "I-I'm the thoroughly prepared type. Even though I decided I'd break up with him, there's still the possibility that it may become necessary, no? Well, there's no way someone as romantically inexperienced as you would understand that though".
- It's precisely because I know he's romantically inexperienced that I was able to make this my escape route.
- But still, surely even Kiyotaka would have had expectations?
- After all, he knows today's February 14th.
- "I thought you picked this date because you expected to get something from me".
- That's why I asked him that.
- "Sorry, that didn't cross my mind".
- Grr......
- He has his usual poker face up and my words came bouncing straight back at me.
- Even though I threw them hard at him straight up, he still kept his cool.
- "By the way, did you get any from some other girl?".
- I think I'll probably be able to hear his answer calmly.
- "No, nothing at all".
- In other words, this means I'm the first girl in this whole school to give Kiyotaka chocolate.
- "Serves you right. Zero Love Interest Man~".
- "But is it really okay? If you give me chocolate, it'll stop being zero, you know?".
- "That in itself would make you pathetic. You'd be the guy who needed me to hand him a lifeline".
- I wish today would end without this being known to anyone else.
- And on White Day, I'll be able to monopolize Kiyotaka, won't I?
- Just kidding, I mean, this would mean I'm nothing more than a maiden in love.......!
- Inside my head, I had fallen into a state of panic.
