Chapter 3: Which Brings Us To...

What do you mean he has a point?! He's just another idiot making a big deal of a stupid event!

You may be right, but it's also a fact that many Fracciónes and subordinates have taken up this trend and are giving gifts to their masters as proof of their love and respect.

Let's say we don't do anything for Lady Halibel. Have you thought of the possibility that we may end up embarrassing her?

There's no way I'll let that happen.

Well, it's not too late yet. Let's think of something.

So, this gift to Lady Halibel is meant to show her our feelings of appreciation, right? Does it have to be chocolate?

If we were to make chocolate, we'd have to start by gathering the ingredients. That's not realistic considering how much time we have.

What, so we're just gonna be lazy about it?! For Lady Halibel, we make the impossible possible! Isn't that our only choice?!

Stop it, Apache. Now's not the time for that sort of argument.

Oh, yeah? Then, when else am I supposed to bring it up?! We're talking about a gift for Lady Halibel here!

Which is why I'm telling you to cool your head and think with us. Now, will you stop wasting my time?

Why do I even listen to you?! All you do is complain and act as if you're always right!

I doubt you were listening to me at all. I suggest you go outside and calm yourself down. We'll decide on something in the meantime.

You dare!

Hey, about that Valentine's thing...

Whaaa-?! Why are you all fighting?!

You really shouldn't be arguing then.

Be quiet! I know that! What did you want with us anyway?!

I came to warn you that she's looking for you, but I guess it's a little too late for that now. She's already here.

Huh? Who are you talking about?

That would be me.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I heard everything. I'm sorry.

No, it's our fault for arguing shamelessly. We're very sorry, Lady Halibel.

There's no need for you to apologize. It was all for me, wasn't it?

You see, that makes me very happy. Which is why I've prepared a little party for you. Will you accept my invitation?

You did it for us?! Oh, Lady Halibel...

O-Of course, we'd love to go!

Thank you very much, Lady Halibel!

Aww, lucky. I should go ask Stark to give me something too!

Staaark!!!
