Before the Sun Melts Away the Chocolate

Now that I have completed my chocolate. Without any trouble that is.

...I am happy that Senpai is getting a lot of chocolates. I am a little worried if mine will get acknowledged.

Perhaps the wrapping was too plain?

Fou, Fou.

Thank you for the encouragement, Fou. I will go hand it to Senpai now.

I dropped a letter in the mail already, so Senpai should be there.

Senpai? Are you there, Senpai?

... ...

...Strange. No response.

...Let's look for the exit record first... No exit record.

In that case, could it be! This is just like Christmas

Since this is an emergency, HAH!

Fou!?

I'm charging in! Back me up, Fou!

FouFou!?

Senpai... I mean, Master! Are you okay?

...Huh? I am sure I entered Senpai's room, but...

Hehehe, welcome my dear. I welcome your rough arrival, Mash.

Just as "I" planned, Demi-servant. But, it's too bad.

We were supposed to have our "loser sister" punish you if you were even a minute late.

...I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart that you arrived right on time, Mash...

Wh-what's the meaning of this?

I guess you don't know? Valentine's Day is an important event for women

The same goes for you. So you wouldn't appreciate it if it's too simple, right?

A special event is necessary for a special day like this. That's why

Right! That's why we will hype it up for everybody!

Only by giving the chocolate after overcoming several trials, can the bond between a Master and Servant get stronger.

I believe the term is Misattribution of Arousal? It's very important to balance the tsun and dere.

Ah, yes... Of course, my big sisters.

And I am really sorry, Mash. Those two are like that... I am sorry.

I can hear you, you know? Medusa! I can hear you, Medusa!

Sorry, I am sorry, my big sisters!

Well... Again I am sorry for all the trouble but, please defeat us and move onward!

I see. That is how it is? ...Understood. I will accept this trial!

A special trial befits a special occasion like this... I accept the justification behind those words!

And Today is the only day I can express my gratitude to Senpai!

Nooo waaaay!

...What a powerful strike! An attack from the heart, 100 times more powerful than anything from my sisters!

We were totally defeated, Mash. You did a really great job.

Th-Thank you very much! You hang in there too, Medusa!

Fou!

All right... Who's waiting for us at the next trial?

Fou?

Yes. I prepared myself knowing in a situation like this, there will always be second and third trials!

You know what happens twice will surely happen a third time!

Hey, it's Mash.

J-Jack?

It's a trial, please give me chocolate!

Well, but this is...

Please, please, please, please, please! Please, please, please, please, please!

Fou!?

Fou is trembling at the intense begging... Honestly, I'm scared too!

But, there's no way I'm handing over this chocolate! If you want one, go find the Doctor, Jack!

Whaaat, that's mean. In that case Trick or Dead!

That event was three months ago! You need to understand that the year has begun already, please!

Waaahhh, that's mean, Mash! We just wanted some candy!

...

I'll give you something sweet later, ok? So please let me through, Jack...

Really? In that case, you passed!

Fou!

...Thank you. As for the sweet, is sesame bun okay?

Er... That's the kind of stuff you eat when you're old, Yuck...

...I feel like the Doctor just passed out from that comment, but maybe it's just my imagination.

Fou Fou.

This is a trial!

Ugh... I knew something was coming but... of course it's Kiyohime!

Yes, it is I, Kiyohime, who comically throws flame at events that deal with love.

...Although I am really not that comical! Platonic love, seriousness, and suspense are what I was known for!

Fou... Fou...rror?

Fou wanted to say "Aren't you missing horror there?" But let's leave that aside.

I will face your trial with everything I have. Let's go

Well, wait a little there, Mash. ...Mash, what do you think about our Master.

I respect Senpai more than anyone! I take pride in being their Servant!

...Not like that. I mean be more straightforward.

...Don't you want to be bonded to that person with love and romance?

? What do you mean by that?

...I see. There are no lies in those words. But that's that and this is this.

My flame will be the conclusion of this trial. Prepare to receive it!

Understood. I will protect this chocolate!

Ohh, I lost. Is the chocolate safe?

Yes!

Onward then. That person is waiting for you.

Thank you very much, Kiyohime!

...Senpai, Senpai, Senpai!

!

(Inhale... Exhale...) ...ahem, ahem.

Good morning! It's Valentine's Day, Senpai!

Ah, well...sorry for shouting. I don't quite understand my feelings...

A-Anyway, I heard today is the day we transform our feelings of gratitude into chocolate and give them away.

That's why, here you go. It's not much, but it would make me happy if it nourishes you.

Huh? Why am I armed, you ask?

Well... Da Vinci taught me a lot of stuff beforehand, so...

So I turned into my Servant form to psyche myself up for this...

A-Anyway, thank you for the Valentine this year.

I put all my heartfelt gratitude in this... I'm looking forward to our time together in the future, Master!
