"What was 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 envy those lovey-dovey couples." "You've got a girlfriend called Kotobuki." "But with me and Ran-pyon..." "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)" "Ototchi, please tell me!" "(Lovey-Dovey Index)" "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 that you're worried, too?" "That you 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 think you mean "level"..." "A problem like that is just bragging about your relationship!" "What?" "Y-You think so?" "We have some samples of fried chicken over here, right now!" "Please come have a taste!" "(Spring Meat Fair)" "Honestly!" "Stop this, Ran!" "This is so embarrassing!" "These days, even kids don't do things like that!" "And you look frightful!" "You can make it taste pretty different..." "(Valentine's Day Chocolatey Sale of Love) ...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 out yours, 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't you want to give him something full of your love?" "More like, I'm fundamentally viva me, so I don't do things like buy stuff for guys." ""Viva me" means "I rock"." "(Viva Me = I Rock)" "That's common knowledge for gals." "(Viva Me = I Rock)" "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 meant Valentine's Day chocolate." "Uh, um, what about you, 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." "My true 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 lovey-dovey Valentine'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)" "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 prey to my perfect plan!" "I'll get some." "I won't get some." "I'll get some." "I won't get some." "I'll get some." "I won't..." "Ran-pyon..." "Our guests today were Super High School Students, Rei Otohata and Yuya Asou!" "Well, then, I hope you'll all check us out again next week!" "Hey, you guys, get back!" "Go on home!" "Rei belongs to us!" "We aren't gonna let you 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!" "If someone comes in this door," "I'll get chocolate from Ran-pyon!" "I'm sure of it!" "No, I'm DEFINITELY sure of it!" "I've decided that it's so!" "Please let there be someone." "What?" "!" "We will be pulling out of the 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 of thing." "I-I know that, but..." "Don't worry about it." "He said he doesn't accept chocolate from girls he doesn't like, remember?" "Yeah." "Well, I'll be waiting out front, so you make sure you pull it off." "Right." "If I get a 500 yen coin back as change," "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 happy Valentine's party with brother about now." "This is too annoying!" "If you don't hurry up and get outta here..." "Have this!" "Serves you right!" "That sure cleared out the pests." "Hey, you!" "Don't tell me that's for Rei?" "!" "What?" "This is..." "If it was those other girls..." "One or two gifts wouldn't bother us..." "But if it's chocolate from a major threat like you, we definitely 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!" "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 for the same thing so many times!" "Off we go!" "(Bull's Eye)" "I'm sorry." "Are you all right?" "Hey, Aya." "You go after them!" "O-Okay!" "Ko-to-bu-ki!" "Mami-rin!" "What'd you do that for?" "!" "Sorry about that." "Mami-rin," "I thought you had a Valentine's Day party with brother today." "What?" "Valentine's Day party?" "Brother was 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 over work?" "!" "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-Alright." "I'll tell you." "Later, Kotobuki." "Thanks." "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 or two." "U-Um, I'd definitely choose you over work." "So, isn't it about time I got the chocolate..." "Chocolate?" "Shoot!" "I'd forgotten about Aya's chocolate!" "Tatsukichi, let's go!" "Ran-pyon!" "Switch made successfully." "Let's eat it so it never gets to Rei." "What the hell is this?" "!" "(To Otohata)" "It's super no-good!" "(To Otohata)" "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..." "Oh, where could they have gone?" "Here." "You can have it back." "We'll let you give it to Rei, just this once." "T-Thank you." "Huh?" "What happened, Aya?" "Did they give back the chocolate?" "Y-Yeah." "What was that about?" "This was the right thing to do." "This was the right thing, right?" "Yeah, even though the north wind feels real bitter." "Let's hang in there." "I'm sure a spring breeze will blow for 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 at the last minute." "And I could've said no, but I still wasn't too sure about getting introduced to your parents, so I went for the work and..." "I just really wanted to give it to you today." "T-Thank you." "Later." "Hey, Mami-rin!" "Otohata, please accept it." "Sure." "Come on!" "Thank her at least!" "Right." "Thank you." "Alright, well said." "Here's your reward." "Sorry it's leftovers, but you can have it." "Ran-pyon, some for me, too, ple-ple-please!" "Don't want 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 if it's out of obligation?" "Then, what if she 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 if you hide it." "I don't want to feel all torn inside." "I'd rather you just came out and said it." "Yeah, I like her." "Do you feel better now?" "You're satisfied now that 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 wonder what 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 of taste be?" "!" "Damn it!" "I'll eat all the chocolate Ran Kotobuki made by hand and erase it from the face of this 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." "Ook..."
