Actually, I made a survey on Twitter the other day, about writing a Valentine’s Day Extra Chapter and which characters I would write about.
I prepared four options and asked people to vote for the characters who haven’t had a Valentine’s Day Extra Chapter so far.
Here are the results.
Total Number of Votes: 331
① Illness ———— 19%
② Elise ———— 1%
③ Funf ———— 1%
④ All three? You want all three? You greedy b*stards! ———— 79%
And so, there would be three Valentine’s Day Extra Chapters posted.
Today is Funf, tomorrow is Elise and Illness cos after her.

Valentine’s Day…… It’s both a joyous and sorrowful event for both n and won in many ways. It’s also the ti when many couples are born, and for those who are already together, it’s an event where they reaffirm their love for each other.
At the sa ti, however, there is also a negative side to this event, which creates a clear disparity between the winners and the losers.
anwhile, it has been observed that those who have fallen prey to the negative side of the event would often scream out loud about how beings called riajuus should explode.
Until a few years ago, I was also one of them until a few years ago…… It was a ti where my thoughts were filled with throwing eggs at those people flirting outside.
However, as of the mont, rather than those on the negative side…… I had now beco one of those riajuus I had been wishing to explode, and was able to receive a lot of chocolates for Valentine’s Day.
Of course, I’m happy and feel fortunate about such a thing…… However, with Valentine’s Day coming up tomorrow, I am currently having a big problem.
If one slaps for having such a luxurious problem, I guess I can only accept it but…… That doesn’t change the fact that this is a very difficult problem.
[U- Unnn. I see…… I guess boys also have their fair share of difficulties huh.]
[Ahh, I’m sorry, Funf-san. Even though you had invited to tea, I ended up just complaining about things.]
[No. It’s no problem at all…… So, what is it that’s bothering you? It would be great if it’s sothing I can help you with……]
Chuckling with a slightly troubled smile on her lips was Funf-san, a mber of Kuro’s family, telling that she might be able to help if I consult with her.
She is a kind and caring person who fits the role of being the elder sister of Kuro’s family, and I sotis ask her for advice.
Today just so happened that Funf-san invited to hang out with her, and thus, we should be enjoying our tea today…… but after Funf-san said “Speaking of which, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, isn’t it~~”, we started talking to which led to the present situation.
[No, well, actually…… I still haven’t finished eating them.]
[U- Unnn?]
[……”Last year’s Valentine’s Day chocolates”…… I still haven’t finished eating them. Also, there are lots of people that I’m worried about……]
Yes, the problem that I’m currently facing…… is that my chocolate consumption can’t keep up to the amount I received.
No, I’m really happy to receive chocolates from various people, and I think that being troubled about sothing like this is truly quite extravagant of …… but the problem is that there are “people whose love is too much”.
For example, Ein-san sent 100 chocolates of 100 different kinds last year…… Which makes it 10,000 chocolates.
Just Ein-san gives chocolate that can’t be consud by one person in a year, but the problem is that there are people who have given more than her.
Problem Child Number 1: Pandora-san…… She sent the rights to the Trading Company that manufactures chocolates…… along with its chairman, tied up with chains.
Just when I thought Alice had dealt with her after I asked her to do sothing about her, the next thing I know, I found Pandora-san almost naked, her body wrapped in straw ropes instead of ribbons, and waiting for on the bed in my room.
Problem Child Number 2: Catastro-san…… She gave a gift that was heavy in both two senses of the word: Expensive chocolates that she had purchased after fasting for a month.
Problem Child Number 3: Phenex-san…… She just walked up towards wrapped in so silver-colored wrapping, holding a note saying “Valentine’s Day Chicken Skewers”. I thought it was just a high spec gag, but her eyes looked so serious that it scared .
Problem Child Number 4: Gluttony-san…… She’s apparently a very picky eater, so the gift she brought is a monster that looked like a deep-sea fish. It had a rubbery texture that was soft, but hard to chew through.
Problem Child Number 5: Moloch-san…… She sent a pile of skewered animals that looked like they could be used in so sort of demonic ritual.
Problem Child Number 6: giddo-san…… She gave a horribly-colored chocolate…… sothing that looked like chocolate, which would obviously kill any sane person from spiciness if they ate it.
Problem Child Number 7: Life-san…… For so reason, she sent a chocolate-coated God of Fertility, neatly boxed up. Of course, I politely returned the gift.
Problem Child Number 8: Shiro-san…… She created a tree that grows chocolate, and grew it in my yard without permission.
Problem Child Number 9: Zwei-san…… She sent a life-sized statue of made of chocolate. It looked so realistic…… that to be honest, I don’t want to eat it.
Then, the biggest and most abnormal Problem Child, Eden-san…… She gave “a planet made of chocolate”, which already made no sense from the word itself. What the heck am I supposed to do with that?
Rather, co to think of it, aren’t most of the troublemakers Alice’s subordinates!?
[……U- Unnn. That really sounds troubling…… Not only is it sothing that I can’t do anything about, and even my family is involved in it. No, ummm, sorry. I don’t think Sister Ein and Sister Zwei an any harm but…… the both of them are uncompromising in many ways.]
[No, well, I’m just happy that you think so much for …… I feel a little better now that Funf-san listened to .]
[Really? I’m really just listening, so I don’t feel like I’ve helped you…… I thought I could at least give you so advice on how to deal with this, but hmmm, I can only think of orthodox things.]
[Eh? Did you have sothing in mind?]
[No, it’s really not big of a deal. It’s just that everyone loves Kaito, so everyone is quite eager to express it…… I was just thinking that if Kaito told them “I want to eat them with you, so please make sure it’s enough for both of us” or sothing like that, I think they might adjust the amount to so extent……]
[!? ]
I- I see…… That really is a great idea. I can’t use that thod against people like Gluttony-san or giddo-san who have strange taste buds to begin with, but perhaps, so of them will restrain themselves.
[Thank you, Funf-san! If I do that, I think it might actually turn the situation better.]
[I’d be glad if I could be of help, Kaito.]
[……I’m glad I consulted Funf-san.]
[A- Ahaha…… I- If you say it like that, I’m going to feel a bit troubled.]
[Unnn?]
I thanked Funf-san for the good advice, but for so reason, Funf-san had an awkward smile on her face.
As I tilted her head, not understanding what she ant, Funf-san took out her magic box, from which she took out a small box.
[No, you see, I’m not as nice as Kaito thinks I am. After all, even after hearing Kaito’s problem of not being able to consu your chocolates…… I’m still thinking of adding more chocolates to your stack.]
[……E- Errr…… Does that an……]
[Just kidding, ahaha…… Well, I don’t think you’ll be too happy to receive one from a dull girl like , but we’ve got along so well before. But well, would you be happy to receive mine?]
[T- Thank you.]
She’s kind, caring, good at housework, knows a lot of things, has an amazingly beautiful face, and has great proportions…… even her family is saying that “they admire her as a woman”, so putting aside whether she thinks she’s dull or not…… Receiving her Valentine’s day chocolate is a surprise, but a pleasant one.
I’ve heard that Funf-san has been making and distributing chocolates to her family every year for Valentine’s Day, so she probably prepared so for while she was at it.
After thanking her, I received the small box and opened it to find six small chocolates inside, which looked delicious just by looking at it.
[……I’m really happy.]
[I- If you look that happy receiving it, that would make a little embarrassed…… Ah, sorry. I’m going back to guarding the gates now.]
[Ah, yes. Thank you for your advice.]
[Don’t worry about it. I’m always here to help…… Ahh, one more thing.]
After giving a gentle smile, Funf-san got up from her chair and walked towards .
[Kaito probably thinks that I prepared so for you while I’m making chocolate for my family…… so here’s so extra———— Chuuu.]
[…………………………….Eh?]
[See you later then.]
[…………………………………………………….Eh?]
After smoothly kissing lightly on my cheek, Funf-san left, giggling as if she had just made a successful prank.
Unable to keep up with the situation, I only touched my cheek, where I could still feel the faint touch of her lips, and stared blankly in the direction Funf-san had left.
After she left Kaito and reached her post at the castle gate, she lightly leaned against the gate and sat down.
Funf’s face was as red as an apple, as she brought her hand on her chest to hold onto her racing heart.
(I- I did it…… I- I’m screwed. Are situations like this what they called being carried away by the mood? I wonder what kind of face should I make the next ti I see Kaito-san……?)
In front of Kaito, Funf looked relaxed, but in reality, she was feeling really troubled within her mind.
(Even if he was to be loved by a troubleso woman like who has already lived for thousands of years before experiencing first love…… Kaito would probably just feel troubled.)
For Funf, Kaito was an important mber of her family, but at the sa ti, he was her very late first love.
[……Even though…… I thought of just keeping this feeling to myself……]
With a mixture of confusion and regret on her face, Funf leaned her weight against the castle gate and blankly stared at the sky.
Yes…… Right now, she still feels regret.
……The ti where her thoughts of that ti changes to “I’m glad I took action” is still a little far into the future.
