I'm a really, really, really, really hard worker Bari bari bari bari no shigoto ningen desu
No matter what I'm doing, Nani o suru no mo aitsu no koto
I can't help but think about him... kangaete shimatte boku ga

He's always there inside... Aitsu ga boku no naka ni

To not even receive any out of obligation... Poor souls.
Chief Priest, a new request has arrived.
Please drive away the evil spirits for me so I can get chocolate.
"Well, please check into it."
"Tatsuki Kuroi, Machida."
Give me chocolate! Give me chocolate!
Give me chocolate!

Hey, Tatsukichi.
Whatwas that great big sigh about?
Well, seeing what's going on over there got me feeling kind of sad.
Huh? What do you mean?
I envythose lovey-dovey couples.
You've got a girlfriend called Kotobuki.
Butwith me and Ran-pyon...
Don't get carried!
Ook! Don't get carried!
Ook!
I can't even put my arm around her shoulders...
That's not a real couple!
We're technically supposed to be boyfriend and girlfriend,
but our lovey-dovey index hasn't gone up at all. What's up with that?
Lovey-Dovey Index but our lovey-dovey index hasn't gone up at all. What's up with that?
Lovey-Dovey Index
Ototchi, please tell me!
Don't ask me.
Am I really Ran-pyon's boyfriend?!
Get a grip, Tatsukichi.
Of course, you're Ran's one and only boyfriend.
Ook...
Huh? What am I saying?
I acknowledged that Tatsukichi is Ran's boyfriend...
Can I have faith that I'll get chocolate for Valentine's this year?!
So ask her.
I can't do that.
Valentine's chocolate is only worth something if I get it without asking.
Valentine's, huh?
Could it be thatyou're worried, too?
Thatyou might not get any from Mami-rin, either?
It's not about if I'll get any or not.
In my case...
Say, Yuya,
keep your schedule open on the evening of February 14th, okay?
Huh? The evening?
Yeah. I'm having a Valentine's Day party at my place.
So, I'll introduce you to my mother and father!
What?! Your mother and father?!
Rei! If Mami-rin introduces me to her parents,
what's going to happen to me?!
Like I said, don't ask me!
You're awful!
Your problem's on a totally different label than mine!
I thinkyou mean "level"...
A problem like that is just bragging aboutyour relationship!
What? Y-You think so?
We have some samples offried chicken over here, right now!
Spring Meat Fair
Please come have a taste!
Honestly!
Stop this, Ran!
This is so embarrassing!
These days, even kids don't do things like that!
And you look frightful!
Valentine's Day Chocolatey Sale of Love
You can make ittaste pretty different...
You can make it taste pretty different...
...depending on what chocolates you mix together.
Wow, I had no idea it could make such a difference.
So, how about we try combining these two?
Won't that end up too sweet?
I think Otohata doesn't like sweet things much.
Oh, right.
Come on, Ran. Pick outyours, too.
Aren't hand-made chocolates kind of a pain to make?
Hey! This is more like it.
I'll go with this.
Oh, no, you don't.
Valentine's Day only comes by once a year.
Don'tyou want to give him something full ofyour love?
More like, I'm fundamentally viva me,
so I don't do things like buy stufffor guys.
Ifyoufall 7 times, get up 8 times. ¦ Gal Lingo Class For Good Kids ¦ Viva Me = I Rock
Ifyou fall 7 times, get up 8 times. ¦ Gal Lingo Class For Good Kids ¦ Viva Me = I Rock "Viva me" means "I rock".
Ifyou fall 7 times, get up 8 times. ¦ Gal Lingo Class For Good Kids ¦ Viva Me = I Rock That's common knowledge for gals.
I'm sure it would make Tatsukichi happy.
And he might return the favor on White Day.
What?! Return the favor?!
I see! Return the favor, huh?
I'll get him to buy me clothes and handbags!
Oh, Ran,
you have to think about what you're going to give him first, right?!
Hand-made chocolate? Good to know.
I'll get some.
I won't get some.
I'll get some.
I won't get some.
Brother, gimme another flower.
Don't have any.
Sob!
Hey!
Tatsukichi, sorry for making you wait.
Ran-pyon!
What's wrong?
Says he wants chocolate.
Is that all? Then you can have this.
R-Ran-pyon, you...
...dummy!
H-Hey, Tatsukichi, where're you going?
That's not the kind of chocolate he wanted.
He meantValentine's Day chocolate.
Uh, um, what aboutyou, Otohata?
Huh? Me?
Come to think of it, you've never received chocolate, have you?
What?!
No way! I don't believe it!
I got it!
You're all cool now, but back in junior high...
Maybe you were like that!
Moron.
Keh! The who calls people morons is the moron!
What the heck? So you're in the same camp as me.
What do you mean, same camp?
The group that doesn't get chocolate, of course.
Mytrue brother!
Rei's not in the group that doesn't get any, he doesn't take any.
There were plenty of girls who wanted to give him chocolate.
But he didn't accept them.
O-Ototchi, you...
...traitor!
What's so great about getting some from someone you don't even like?
Man, you really are a smartass.
Gag! Look at the time!
Oh? Got a date with Mami-rin?
No, no, work.
Well, see you later!
Sure. Later.
Ook...
Miyu and...
...Aya's...
...Iovey-doveyValentine's chocolate making session!
First, we make chocolate shavings from the bars.
Ran.
That's our ingredient.
Just taste-testing it.
Mmm, this one's got a faintly bitter flavor to it.
Well, it is labeled "bitter chocolate".
Don't eat it!
W-What's your problem?
It's not like there'll be any less of it.
There will be less of it.
Ran! We're making the sacred Valentine's chocolates here,
so you have to put your spirit into it!
Fine...
Finely... Finely...
Ow!
What's with you? Who the heck cuts herself so easily?
Ran, your chocolate's not gonna melt like that, either.
You're not cutting napa here.
Be patient as you melt it over a bowl of hot water, slowly and thoroughly.
Oh, it's starting to melt!
Miyu, I bet you'll be a great wife.
Oh, please! Wife?!
So embarrassing! I dunno what to say!
In 2 years, I'll be Miyu Kotobuki!
Eek! Too happy!
Huh?
My chocolate's gone!
Bliss freak.
What?! I just got a little too enthusiastic, that's all!
But I think I agree.
What?! You, too?!
The ribbon Kotobuki bought.
The gift box Kotobuki bought.
The chocolate mold Kotobuki bought.
I'll make this majorly nasty tasting chocolate
and switch it with hers.
Pepper and switch it with hers.
Soy Salt Sauce and switch it with hers.
Soy Salt Sauce
Having eaten this, the wild monkey will dump you...
...and heartbroken, you'll leave Shibuya...
...and I'll become the new superstar gal of Shibuya.
Gantetsu Ramen
I should've told Ran-pyon that I wanted chocolate, after all.
Thanks for your hard work again today.
This is for you, Yamato.
Thank you, Miyu.
I feel kind of embarrassed somehow.
Oh, please! When you get embarrassed,
it makes Miyu feel kind of embarrassed, too!
Man, Bro's acting all spoony. I can't watch this.
What's wrong with that? They look happy.
I wonder if Otohata will accept it.
Especially since it didn't turn out so well.
What're you saying?
You make sure you give it to him.
R-Right.
Prepare yourself, Kotobuki!
Today, you will fall preyto my perfect plan!
I'll get some. I won't get some.
I'll get some. I won't...
Ran-pyon...
Our guests todaywere Super High School Students, Rei Otohata...
...and Yuya Asou!
Well, then, I hope you'll all check us out again nextweek!
Hey, you guys, get back! Go on home!
Rei belongs to us!
We aren't gonna letyou give him any chocolate!
He's as amazingly popular as ever, huh?
Next stop is Shin Yurigaoka.
We will be arriving at Shin Yurigaoka momentarily.
That's it!
Ifsomeone comes in this door,
I'll get chocolate from Ran-pyon!
I'm sure ofit! No, I'm DEFINITELY sure ofit!
I've decided that it's so!
Please let there be someone.
Please let there be someone...
What?!
We will be pulling out ofthe station momentarily.
Please get on board through the less crowded doors.
What're you getting nervous for?
He placed first in the Super High School Student Grand Prix.
You gotta expect this kind ofthing.
I-I know that, but...
Don'tworry about it.
He said he doesn't accept chocolate from girls he doesn't like, remember?
Yeah.
Well, I'll be waiting outfront,
so you make sure you pull it off.
Right.
If I get a 500 yen coin back as change,
1000 Yen Bills
I'll get chocolate from Ran-pyon!
1000 Yen Bills
No way!
Hachi!
I faced total failure!
Mami-rin?
No, it can't be her.
She should be having a happyValentine's partywith brother about now.
This is too annoying!
Ifyou don't hurry up and get outta here...
Have this!
Serves you right!
That sure cleared outthe pests.
Hey, you!
Don't tell me...
...that's for Rei?!
What? This is...
If itwas those other girls...
One ortwo gifts wouldn't bother us...
But if it's chocolate from a major threat like you, we definitely...
...have to stop you! ...have to stop you!
Wait! Give back my chocolate!
What?! Why those...!
At this rate, I might seriously not get chocolate.
Hey! Hold it right there!
Like hell! Like hell!
Hey, Tatsukichi! Catch those three!
Ran-pyon!
Could it be that chocolate's for me...
Huh?
Ran-pyon?
Come on, what're you doing just standing there?!
You help catch them, too!
R-Right!
Hold it right there!
Double Platform Boomerang!
We're not gonna fall forthe same thing so manytimes!
Offwe go! Offwe go!
Bull ' s Eye
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
Hey, Aya. You go afterthem!
O-Okay!
Ko-to-bu-ki!
Mami-rin!
What'd you do thatfor?!
Sorry about that.
Mami-rin,
I thoughtyou had a Valentine's Day partywith brothertoday.
What?
Valentine's Day party?
Brotherwas talking about it.
He ended up not being able to make it today.
He got called in to work at the last minute, so he couldn't come.
Work?! You're telling me he ditched you overwork?!
I want to contact him, but I just get his voice mail.
That's real rude of Second Place.
Huh? So, why're you here anyway?
Hey, Tatsukichi, you know where Second Place works, right?
Uh, um, well...
Spit it out already or you're not getting any chocolate.
What?! No fair!
A-AIright. I'll tell you.
Sure thing.
Aw, brother's gonna get clobbered by Mami-rin at his workplace.
Any guy who uses his work as an excuse to ditch his girlfriend...
...deserves to get punched a time ortwo.
U-Um, I'd definitely choose you overwork.
So, isn't it abouttime I gotthe chocolate...
Chocolate?
Shoot! I'd forgotten aboutAya's chocolate!
Tatsukichi, let's go!
Ran-pyon!
Switch made successfully.
Let's eat it so it never gets to Rei.
To Otohata
What the hell is this?!
To Otohata It's super no-good!
Even if I wore a blindfold, I couldn't make something this bad.
Come to think of it, she...
I guess she worked real hard, even though it looks like this.
Do we eat it?
We can't eat this...
Yeah... Yeah...
Oh, where could they have gone?
Here.
You can have it back.
We'll letyou give itto Rei, justthis once.
T-Thankyou.
Huh?What happened, Aya?
Did they give backthe chocolate?
Y-Yeah.
Whatwas that about?
This was the rightthing to do.
This was the rightthing, right?
Yeah, even though the north wind feels real bitter.
Let's hang in there.
I'm sure a spring breeze will blowfor us real soon, too.
Sorry about the unreasonable request today.
You can go home now.
Nah, I'll stick around until we finish.
Mami-rin!
S-Sorry. A friend got sick...
...and I had to take his place atthe last minute.
And I could've said no,
but I still wasn'ttoo sure about getting introduced to your parents,
so I went forthe work and...
I just reallywanted to give it to you today.
T-Thankyou.
Later.
Hey, Mami-rin!
Otohata, please accept it.
Sure.
Come on! Thank her at least!
Right.
Thankyou.
AIright, well said.
Here's your reward.
Sorry it's leftovers, butyou can have it.
Ran-pyon, some for me, too, ple-ple-please!
Don'twant it.
Why not?!
You're only doing it out of obligation.
Hey! What's that about?!
You saying you're too good for my chocolate?! Bastard!
I'm going to talk to Otohata for a bit.
Ran-pyon...
Geh!
Chocolate...
Oh, sorry about that. I'd forgotten.
You're only doing it out of obligation.
Did he mean he won't take it ifit's out of obligation?
Then, what ifshe really meant it?
What's wrong?
Um, Otohata...
I'd been vaguely aware...
No, I pretty much knew, really.
Somewhere in my heart, I was afraid to acknowledge it,
but I think I have to ask.
Otohata...
Otohata, you like Ran, don't you?
Why are you asking me something like that?
Don't hide it. It hurts more ifyou hide it.
I don'twant to feel all torn inside.
I'd ratheryou just came out and said it.
Yeah, I like her.
Do you feel better now?
You're satisfied nowthat I've acknowledged I like Kotobuki, right?
Why do you look at me like you're so hurt?
You're the one who asked.
Are you going to put it all on me?
I don't think it's very good to dash your own hopes.
It's because...
...I love you so much, I can hardly bear it.
Here, take it, Tatsukichi.
Ran-pyon!
Moron. Don't cry over some measly chocolate.
Can I eat it? Can I eat it?!
Sure.
I wonderwhat kind of chocolate it is?
Now, wild monkey, eat my majorly nasty tasting chocolate...
...and dump Kotobuki like yesterday's garbage!
Success!
What do you think? Is it good?
Of course! It's good!
What?!
I see. I knew it'd be good. Mm-hm.
Ook...
Just how bad can that wild monkey's sense oftaste be?!
Damn it!
I'll eat all the chocolate Ran Kotobuki made by hand...
...and erase it from the face ofthis Earth!
D-Damn you, Kotobuki!
How dare you make me eat such majorly nasty tasting chocolate?!
Go on, don't be shy. Eat more of it, Tatsukichi.
