What should I make?
So, who are you giving it to?
I’ll be eating it with all my friends.
I knew it. I figured it was something like that after all.
Exchanging chocolates between the girls is fun, you know.
Aztec civilization. Cafe. Cacao.
Haruka-neesama.
Hmm? What is it, Chiaki?
Please teach me how to make it as well.
Sure, why not? How about you, Kana?
Eh? I'm fine. I couldn't care less about Valentine's Day.
Someone as greedy as you would probably swipe all the chocolates from the popular guys.
What? What's wrong?
I see. I can eat all I want!
H-Hey, I'm not giving you some nice ideas here.
It's a rare occasion, so let's make them together, Kana.
Eh?! I'm fine! It's better to receive things than give them anyway.
That won't do. It's a festival for girls after all... right, Chiaki?
Eh? Yes...
That's why Kana should do it as well.
Okay?
Festival...? A festival? A festival! This is revenge. Haruka's hospitality during the Pajama festival was spectacular.
You aren't trying to do something unnecessary again, are you?
All right! Let's gather everyone. It's a Valentine's festival!
H-Hey...
Is everyone ready?!
Yeah!
Why do I have to wear something like this?
What are you saying?
You are Mako-chan, a girl, right?
Valentine's is a festival for girls.
What are you going to do if you don't participate?
No, but I...
Oh? Are you saying that you are not a girl...?
It seems our relationship lasted a very short time.
Eh? Hang on... wait!
What?
So, does that mean that I'm prohibited from coming here?
No, I will do it!
I will do my best to help out!
Haruka-san, what should I be doing?
What kind of chocolate would you like to make?
Let's see... something cute would be nice!
All right... then... first break the chocolates into smaller pieces, and after that, cut them into even smaller pieces.
Okay!
Hey, why am I here?
Because it's a festival.
Oh...
You aren't going to give some to anyone?
Chocolate? I don't do stuff like that.
You have your brothers, don't you?
To my brothers? No way.
Why not? What a lonely gal.
I'm... lonely?
Oh, she's here!
Oh, I've been waiting. Come on, hurry up!
Excuse me...
Oh, welcome.
Pretty lively, huh?
Am I... really lonely?
Is it going well?
Eh? Well, somehow...
Who is Chiaki giving it too?
Who are you giving it to, Uchida?
Ah, I haven't thought about that at all.
What an aimless person you are.
Yoshino, who are you giving your chocolate to?
My father.
I made some yesterday.
What the...
What a boring gal.
Who are you giving it to, Kana-chan?
I'm the one who receives.
Sorry for making you two help.
I don't mind at all.
That's right.
I had free time anyway.
Thank you.
You're getting in my way! Get lost!
What the hell?! Cheapskate, cheapskate, cheapskate!
Kana-chan is as lively as always.
That's right...
Mako-chan, who are you giving chocolate to?
Haruka-san.
Rejected.
Uh...
Well...
I said it's been rejected!
Geez, Chiaki...
Thank you.
But since it's a rare occasion, so why don't you give it to a boy?
Eh?!
Do you know anyone?
Do you have someone?
Oh? So you have someone like that?
Ah, well...
Ma-Makoto-kun.
EH?!
So you have met Makoto-kun.
U-Uh, yeah...
Probably...
I won't say anything bad.
Give up on him.
He's a dumb kid.
N-No way...
Chocolates are tasty after all...
Is this okay?
Aren't these the spare chocolates?
It doesn't matter.
Say...
Huh?
Am I really a lonely person?
What? Is this a philosophical topic?
You okay?
I'm okay.
Awesome!
Yeah. It turned out nice.
I was so nervous even though it wasn't mine.
Dummy.
We're just getting started.
Where are you going?
Bathroom.
It's not melting properly.
Low heat, super low heat.
Not bad.
Melted chocolate tastes quite good.
Hey!
What are you doing?!
Kana, you...
I was tasting it, but it ran out.
Get out!
You're doing well, keep stirring it like that.
That's great, Mako-chan.
You can easily become a bride with this.
B-Bride...
Hey, something is burning.
No!
What should I do?!
All right, I'm coming!
Mako-chan?
Touma.
Touma!
Wake up!
What is it?
It seems like we don't have enough chocolate.
That's...
Go buy some.
Immediately.
Me?!
You ate the chocolate didn't you?
Eh?!
Go buy some already, you idiot!
F-Fine.
Man...
Geez...
Kana ate the chocolate too.
Hey, Touma!
Oh, Fujioka.
What's up?
Returning from shopping?
Yeah. I was asked by Kana to buy some chocolate.
By Minami?
Why?
Err, well, I was asked to help make them.
Do you need a guy's help?
If so, then I'll come along.
Ah, you can't.
How come?
W-Well, you see, sh-she might be making some for you.
It wouldn't be pleasant if she spotted you, right?
Ah...
S-See ya.
Minami...
Chocolate...
I bought some!
You're slow, Touma.
I ran into some trouble, thanks to you.
You can decorate it after it has hardened a bit.
Is it hard enough yet?
Not yet.
For now, while it hardens, lets have some tea.
Yay!
Where's Touma?
It looks like she went back home after shopping.
She said that she was tired.
She didn't even make anything.
Mako-chan left too.
She lost interest fast.
I guess I'm lucky to have received Mako-chan's chocolate.
I wonder if it was all right for her to not give it to Makoto-kun.
Delicious.
I guess she realized that he's a stupid kid.
Haruka, give me some chocolate.
You can eat the leftovers.
I'll have another cup!
Oh my, I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Yes!
By the way.
Who are you giving it to, Chiaki?
Ah...
You know...
That guy!
The neighbor, Fuyuki.
Huh?
My...
Eh? Is that so?
I never would have guessed.
No way!
Don't be shy, don't be shy.
What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!
Now, now.
Whoever it is, it’s nice to see him happy to receive it.
It's great to be young.
Tasty.
How is it?
Tasty?
It's a chocolate I made for you.
You're even shedding tears.
To think that you'd be this happy.
It's not going well.
Hey, Chiaki, help me.
Be quiet.
Don't talk to me right now.
But...
All right... I will help you.
Um...
Haruka-neesama.
I'm sorry.
It's hard when you're staring...
Eh, sorry, Chiaki.
Take your time.
It's done!
It turned out beautifully.
Looks tasty.
Done.
If only there was a boy to give it to.
You're only in elementary school and you're already trying to act romantic.
There's no need to be told that by someone who only eats chocolate.
If he receives your love, the chocolate has nothing to do with it.
And there are some who will be happy by just receiving the leftovers.
There's nothing wrong with Valentine's.
Morning, Fujioka.
Hey, morning.
Oh, no!
I can't accept a single one of these today.
I just have to return all of them.
But, who are these from?
Fujioka!
Morning, Minami!
Did you get a lot of chocolate, Fujioka?
Not a single one!
Eh?
E-Eheheheh.
I-I see.
I have to find the right time and give the chocolate to Fujioka-kun.
It'd be great if he'd accept it.
Is she blocking people from giving their chocolate to Fujioka-kun?
She's in the way.
Hurry up and move.
How long does she plan to be there?
It doesn't look like he's going to receive any chocolate.
Hamu-chan.
Here.
Looks tasty, doesn't it?
Does Hamu-chan want some chocolate too?
Ah!
My chocolate!
Don't feed it without permission.
Touma, accept my chocolate.
Me...?
Yeah, because you are way cooler than the boys.
I'm fine.
Hey, give some to us too!
Here, go ahead.
Eh?
With this, you're practically a boy.
Haruka, let me try some of your chocolate.
Anything that Haruka makes tastes good, after all.
What are you doing, Hosaka-senpai?
I was pondering when would be the time for me to give this to her.
What is that?
Using the finest grade Belgian chocolate, I used all of my skills to bake this cake.
And... who is it for?
It's a return gift to Minami Haruka for White Day, of course.
A return gift...
I don't think Haruka gave any chocolate to you, Hosaka-senpai.
That's true.
Valentine is only one day, so I have to move according to my plans.
Right!
Keiko.
Who is the most popular guy in this school?
Huh?
I think it's Ishikawa-senpai.
I see.
Probably.
All right!
I suppose he has a lot of it left.
But, why-
Uh...
She's gone...
Now!
Huh?
Do you know where Fujioka-kun ran off to?
He ran around like crazy returning the chocolates.
Maybe he doesn't like chocolate.
No way...
I brought the printouts that will be used in the next lesson.
Eh? You brought them even though you're from another class. Thank you.
It's nothing.
It was just on the way.
Thank you. Sorry for the trouble.
I'll give you my chocolate.
Eh...
I'm fine...
I'll give mine too.
Here, it's all right.
Okay.
Thank you.
Chiaki, aren't you going to give him yours?
Why?
It's not for him?
Of course not.
I returned all of what was given to me, but...
... in the end, I didn’t receive anything from Minami.
Fujioka.
What's up? From the way you look, I guess you haven't received anything.
I have a lot.
So I'll share some with the unpopular you.
Y-Yeah...
Thank you!
Here...
These are my Valentine gifts for you two.
What?
All right!
Thank you very much, Haruka-neesama.
So... In the end, who did you give your chocolate to, Chiaki?
Here.
Eh?
For me?
Thank you, Chiaki.
However, it would be nice if you find someone to give this to someday.
You will always be the most important person to me, Haruka-neesama.
Say, where's mine?
Wow...
It would be a waste to eat it.
Is that right?
In that case, I'll do it.
Aaaah!
What are you doing?!
I got tired of dark, sweet things.
Then go lick some salt!
Stop-!
Stop it!
Do you know what the difference is between Zaru soba and Mori soba?
Note: Mori soba is chilled soba noodles served on a flat basket or a plate, while Zaru soba is practically Mori soba topped with shredded nori seaweed.
A long time ago, the broth was different for each type of soba.
Zaru soba used Broth Number One and the Mori soba used Broth Number Two.
Nowadays, the only way to tell the difference is that Zaru soba is the one with the seaweed on top of it.
Ah.
I feel like eating soba now!
