224. Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [21]
Idol Luxmaria.
Azure pupils which almost seed transparent.
Long, beautiful, pure white hair that was half-up.
Noble facial features as though sculpted. Snow white skin.
Blue accent on white fabric – she was dressed in the White Lily Academy uniform, giving off a vibe of『dignity』.
「Why are you here…?」I asked.
「I wanted to give this to you.」
Idol took out a lovely parcel from the bag on her left shoulder.
「And this is?」
「Valentine’s chocolate. I made it.」
「Err… for ?」
「Yes. Is it an inconvenience?」
She tilted her head with a sad expression.
「No, that’s not the case at all. Of course, I’m really happy. It’s just that, I didn’t think I’d get it from you. I was just a little surprised.」
「That’s good then. Nee, Allen. I worked hard to make this, so I’d be happy if you could tell what you think of it.」
Idol said and offered the chocolates.
It seems that she wants to eat here now.
(T-This is a problem…)
I’ve been swinging for a while now, so my throat was already dry.
(To be honest, chocolate would be tough on my dry mouth, but…)
It’s her homade obligatory chocolate. No, this is more of a “friend chocolate” I suppose.
Anyway, she ca all the way to Thousand Blade Academy to give these homade chocolates.
(It’s too heartless to refuse Idol’s request for a trivial reason as “my throat is dry” …)
I decided as such, and…
「Aa, of course. Thank you, I appreciate it.」
I nodded cheerfully to reassure her, and gently opened the lovely parcel.
「Oh, it’s a beautiful shape!」
There were beautiful spherical chocolates, which were arranged in bite size.
「Fufu, it’s my prided work.」
「Well, I’m looking forward to it. Itadakimasu!」
Then, the mont I took a bite of the spherical chocolate,
「Gah!?」
A ga shock that I have never experienced before ran through my body.
(T-This is terrible…)
Unpleasant slimy sensation running on the tip of the tongue, intense odour that slips through the nasal cavity, and the indescribable bitterness that spreads in my mouth; this is way worse than simply mistaking salt for sugar.
(This slightly fragrant lemon sll is a…. dishwashing detergent!?)
I have a lot of things to say about it, but… There is one thing I can declare clearly.
This is not sothing that can be called “food”.
Calling it “hazardous substance” would be an understatent. The best way to truly describe it would be, “poison”.
(Does Idol have a grudge against ?)
As I raised my face slowly with such doubts,
「…What do you think? Is it delicious?」
She stared at with a mixture of expectation and anxiety.
There was not even a slight amount of malice in her eyes.
(Aa, that’s what it is…)
I understood imdiately.
Idol made this chocolate with all her heart.
However, she is horribly poor at cooking.
(No matter how bad it is, even if it tastes like a waste product… If it was made with all her heart, then I have to be grateful.)
Gratitude for the food and its creator. I think this is very important.
So, I…
「A-Aa… It’s delicious, it’s very delicious!」
I ignored the warning sounds from my stomach, mobilized all my facial muscles and desperately put on a smile.
「Really?! I’m happy.」
She clapped her hands together, and a flower-like smile blood across her face.
(I-I did it. I survived! I survived it!)
The mont I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of accomplishnt I had never experienced before,
「I am really glad. It’s good that I made more!」
「More!?」
Idol uttered sothing unbelievable and took out five additional parcels.
(I-Impossible… I didn’t think the concept of more than one valentine’s chocolate existed.)
I beca speechless due to the shock of it.
「I heard that boys eat well. That’s why I made a lot of them. Don’t be shy!」
She showed an innocent, child-like smile. A cruel smile.
「…Thank you, I’m happy.」
After going so far as to say,「It’s very delicious」, there’s no way I can refuse now.
I just silently threw her chocolates in my mouth.
