Redo of a Romanceless Author’s Life Devoid of Love; Another Chance at Youth Chapter 211

Chapter 211. Valentine’s Day: Before Sunrise. (2/2)

“Are they the first chocolates you’ve received from a girl?”

“Sorry, you were one step behind to be the first. Wisteria planted chocolates in my room before she left. She called early this morning and woke up just so she could beat you to the punch.”

“Jeez, that girl is so sneaky~ She said she’d mail hers so they would arrive today. I took her word for it and didn’t even consider that she might preemptively plant her batch of homade chocolates inside your room in secret before she left.”

“They’re homade and not store-bought?”

“Oh? She didn’t tell you on the phone, was she too embarrassed to ntion it with it being her first ti? Heheh, as a bit of payback for beating to the punch, I might as well expose her then.”

“We cooked food together and all made so homade chocolates for you the first night she slept over. I used the opportunity to have Alicia and Wisteria bond with one another. It was Wisteria’s first ti ever cooking and making chocolates for soone. Alicia ward up to Wisteria through that experience when she saw firsthand just how clumsy she was with making chocolates. It was only thanks to Alicia’s guidance that Wisteria’s chocolates ca out so well.”

“Wisteria doesn’t have any experience with cooking despite being an assassin?”

“Yes, her circumstances aren’t the sa as mine after all. But Wisteria is unexpectedly cute with that clumsy inexperienced side of hers. She’s only experienced when it cos to matters related to seduction. As for most other things, including common sense, she’s clueless and it’s all foreign territory to her. She was completely lost in the kitchen and didn’t even know left from right. Her head darted about from left to right in a panic looking to us for the next step.”

When I imagined Wisteria in front of the stove acting in such a manner I had an urge to dote on her. What’s with this clumsy assassin? Why is she so cute? It really is that gap in her two sides after all.

“Hey, Rosa, Wisteria said she was saved by a group of assassins before. Do you know how old she was when that happened?”

“Of course I know. I recognized the girl as soon as I saw her for the first ti. Her description matched perfectly with what my father described to one ti. It was about four years ago, I was only eleven years old at the ti when it happened. Wisteria was seventeen, turning eighteen when my father was hired for a certain job. The contractor had contracted a group of so of the top assassins in the world to destroy a certain institution that abducted his son at a young age for illegal human experintation purposes. That sa institution also created that pitiful girl who’d only ever been treated as a tool to relieve the sexual needs of n.”

“I was never inford that the girl’s na was Wisteria though. I’d only been told she didn’t have a na when she was found and the researchers at the institution simply referred to her as Test Subject 69. My father suggested to her that if she had no other skills that would allow her to live a normal life outside the facility, that she could use her… unique talents, as an assassin, rather than a simple prostitute. If she did, she could seek vengeance for herself by killing off lowlife n like the ones she’d been forced to service and make them suffer.”

“As for why my father said such a thing… when Wisteria was found, she was a soulless empty husk of a person, there was nothing inside her, no will to live or anything. The only thing she knew of was sexual pleasure, that was it. She’d only ever existed to satisfy the sexual desires of n and turn n impotent.”

“She’d been created solely to beco a very special type of assassin, one who ensured a man would be unable to reproduce and pass their superior genes down to their descendants. It was ideal for when you couldn’t kill the person in question, but you wanted to ensure they wouldn’t be able to spawn a large number of highly talented progeny in the future. She was part of a long-term assassination plot that targeted powerful families with superior genetics.”

“My father thought it would be a waste of a potentially incredibly talented future assassin if she just up and died like that so he gave her a choice and tempted her with his words. After Wisteria acquired freedom from that institution, her life completely changed when she attended the academy. For the first ti, she experienced the world outside of the dark candle-lit room she’d always been locked up inside pleasuring n.”

“I see, so your father was why and how she got into the academy. But isn’t your father awful? He dumped her in the academy and she’s forced to earn money for her daily expenses by now... selling her services.”

“Actually, it’s not that he didn’t offer to help at all, it’s just that Wisteria refused any financial support. She said she’d survive with money she earned herself. With the environnt she’d been raised and brought up in from young, the only thing her body knew of was pleasure derived from sexual activities. Hence why she didn’t have much problem with making use of her abilities to survive on her own.”

“According to her, there’s even actually a different sll, taste, and flavor to every guy based on how they react to her. She’s even developed preferences and everything… you just so happened to fit her preferred sll, taste, and flavor when she encountered you for the first ti. I actually asked her after you left us behind that day why she refused my father’s support at the ti, and do you know what she gave for her reason?”

“What the hell? What was it?”

“Because she didn’t like his sll.” Rosa laughed to herself as she recalled the scene before she continued, “Wisteria actually pinched her nose at the ti as though she’d rembered a truly rancid sll. She said he reeked of the type of guys she’d serviced who didn’t care at all when cheating.”

“You an… she can in the literal sense… sniff out a cheater?”

“Yeah, I don’t really get how it works. But after you ran off to work that day, I went around with her and we passed by a few guys. When she slled one she thought was a cheater, we followed them around and I confird with my own eyes that they really were cheating on their girlfriends or even wives. She did so for ten guys straight without a single mistake. I was honestly quite impressed by her ability to do so.”

A chill ran down my back. What a… terrifying ability. No cheater could hide from such a scary woman. If I hadn’t slled just right… I wonder how things would have turned out.

“Anyway, I’m going back to cuddle up with Alicia while she pretends to be sick. What are you going to do? Are you still going out?”

“Since I’m already dressed I might as well.”

“What a terrible guy. Are you going out to et yet another woman~” she teased.

“No, I’m just going sowhere to relax a bit and get so work done.”

“I see. Why not at least eat sothing before you go?”

“Didn’t you just give sothing to eat?”

“Heheh, you’re going to eat chocolate for breakfast?”

“I guess so.”

I opened up the box of chocolate Rosa gave , picked one out, and tossed it in my mouth.

“How is it?”

“As expected, it’s good.”

“That’s it? Just good?”

“Getting to say anything is good is already the highest degree of praise I can give out. Usually, it would just be a mmm.”

“Jeez, you could at least show a bit more of a reaction. I put so much love into it too~” She poked my left cheek in protest.

“If I could, I would, but I’m not the type of person to jump for joy from receiving or eating so chocolate.”

“Well, it will have to do for now.” She let out a small dejected sigh after she said that.

“Though you might not have been the first girl to give chocolates for Valentine’s Day, you are still the first girl’s chocolate I ate on Valentine’s Day.”

“Aww, aren’t you sweet? At least letting have that one.” Rosa’s mood improved noticeably when I inford her of that.

“By the way… did you get anything?”

I froze up. I’d… completely forgotten once again because I never had such concerns before. I’d also read too many light novels and manga, and watched too much ani in my earlier years of life that it never even crossed my mind. I was supposed to also prepare sothing for Valentine’s Day… wasn’t I?

“Uh… the thing is… I was actually heading out early this morning to get it. I didn’t expect to run into you so early in the morning.”

“Oh? I was sure you were just trying to escape though and later act like it slipped your mind what day it had been today. You also said before you were going sowhere to relax and get so work done.”

“Hahaha… the part about going sowhere to relax and get so work done was actually a lie.” I was at the point where I was lying about telling a lie. It had been the truth, my original plan for the day was to slack off at the small museum area in the university as usual.

But now I had to get sothing for them in return.

Damn, my wallet.

The more won you have in your life, the more unexpected expenses that co with it.

“Well, just don’t bother getting anything too expensive. After all, you’ve got more than just to prepare sothing for, don’t you?”

“Uh… thanks for your consideration of my pitiful wallet.”

With that, I exited out the front door and caught the bus. My first stop was a mall on the way to the university.
