Sweet Valentine Conspiracy

It's Valentine's Day.

Just asking out of courtesy... Did you get any chocolates?

Ah...

T-That's...

Forget about it.

Valentine's is meant to be spent in solitude anyway.

Right. No need to spell out that you got none.

(Sigh...)

It's not that I couldn't receive any! I just chose not to!

No worries. I have chocolates prepared for people like you.

Perfect timing, I needed a test subject before selling...

I mean, a brave hero to taste them.

Who would actually eat something after hearing that...?

Tch.

Now, you're blatantly clicking your tongue. at me.

H-Hey... Then...

What's this?

Y-You're...!

W-What the...?

Hmm, that chocolate looks delicious.

Heh, it's a bit too big for me to finish on my own.

Here, open up!

Wh- Wait, you're too close, Mmph?! Mmmph!

H-Hey, hold on!

Whoa!

Oh dear, was that a little too much?

Ethan!

Are you alright?

Well, I only stopped by to say hello today.

See you again! ♥

...

Ma'am... Could you keep an eye on Ethan for a bit?

I won't do anything about it, but I suppose I can watch.

Thank you. I'll be back soon.

Ah, Princess! Wait for me!

Not so fast!

...Hmm?

You showed up sooner than I expected.

What are you up to?

You went out of your way just to...

Oh?

Haha, just watching from a distance was getting boring, so I decided to stir things up a little.

And wow, that reaction was even better than I expected. What a treat!

T-That's harsh...

Hmm...

And why would I even care?

Gah...

Tsk. Acting all tough when you can't do anything anyway...

T-That's not true...!

Well, this works out nicely.

Let's have a little fun, shall we? ♥

Pant... pant...

Uh... Princess... Are you alright?

Yeah, I'm fine...

Well, I guess that's enough for now.

The sun's setting...

And I still have things to do, so I'll be taking my leave.

Wait! This isn't over yet!

Huh?

Oh, don't worry. We'll see each other again soon.

And next time, I'll make sure to crush you completely.

She's gone...

Yeah...

Huff... Keeping up with you is exhausting.

Ethan!

Ethan! Are you alright?

Huh?

Aside from the dizziness from a nosebleed, I guess I'm fine...

Ethan...

Wait, did that woman just now... k-kiss you...?

... Huh?

No, no! Nothing happened!

T-Then why... did you collapse?

That's...

Let's just say I got hit by something... violent.

Ngh...!

That's unfair, Ethan!
