"How does Erena like it done?" "Being kissed out of nowhere, just when I'm not expecting it, my lips being violently stolen away." " What kind of preference is that?" "What were we thinking during those times?" "Dreaming about how nice it would be if I could be like that with Saeko-san one day," "I thought I was dreaming seriously." "What is it like to have your dream turn into reality," "I don't think I understood it." "The chocolates Souta-kun gave me." "The eclair series were really delicious." "I'm glad you liked them." "I was assuming that it couldn't possibly turn into reality." "Are you going to eventually sell that in the shop as a new product?" "I'm not sure." "It actually took quite a lot of work and cost a lot." "I see." "I want it to be a new product, but I also don't want it." " Eh?" "I don't want anyone else to eat it." "Is that so?" "Sometimes that's how I think." "During those times, what were we thinking?" "Alright, let's check it." "And nothing since then?" "What kind of guy is that?" "How can you just leave things like that?" "I wasn't in a position to get mad like that." "I wasn't his girlfriend or anything." "I think it just means that that's all I meant to him." "My worth to him can be determined only by him." "I have no right to complain." "You were getting along well, right?" "You both thought you'd be good together, right?" "We got along well because I was trying to get along well with him." " Was that hard for you?" "No." "Then you were well suited for each other." "All the couples in the world who get along well are trying to keep from hurting each other." "They continue because it's a partner you can do that with." "Jeez, that guy." "It's so annoying to the point where I want to kill him!" "It might have gone well if we had properly dated." "But we didn't actually date." "We hadn't started anything." "What's with that guy?" "What on earth does he think Erena is?" "Friend, right?" "Did you know?" "Chocolates were originally medicine." "As a strange medicine that would bring energy to soldiers tired in war, it spread around the world." "I wish it would cure the current Erena too." "Thank you." "Bitter." " But it's delicious, right?" "Yes." "Ah, that's right." "Take this to that guy too." "Eh?" " It's the invitation to your fashion show." "If that guys nonchalantly shows up, should I pull out his hair?" "I'll cast a curse on him." " Curse?" "Hey, Sekiya." "What was that called?" "The island with the sorcerer who casts curses." "What's this?" "You don't know?" "Anyway I'll put a strong curse on that guy." "Like, fail at your business, or get fat, or bald." "Or, get lots of eye discharge." " That's good." "That's right, let's give it to him." "Souta-kun says he will give up on the married woman, and start a proper relationship with Kato Erena." "See you later." "There's a present for today." "Take this with you." "Thank you." " It's okay." "What does it mean to "love seriously"?" "Kaoruko-san, are you okay?" "Good morning." "Umm." "Has Souta-kun come in?" "He's here." " I see." "Thank you." "Since it's before business opening time, can you not enter?" "I'm sorry." "Umm." "I wanted to give an invitation for a show I'll be appearing in." "Did you not hear from Souta-kun?" "Or you heard it, but that's how you feel anyway?" "Souta-kun is upstairs but, he's with a woman." "The favorite wife is staying over." "Souta-kun's staying with her." "If you enter now, they might be in the middle of making out, you'll get in the way." "I see." "Even though you're a friend, not even being told properly, it sounds terrible." "I understand that it's difficult to say." "He probably thought that I would understand even if he didn't say it outright." "If he says it outright, I would get hurt," "I think he's looking out for my feelings." "Probably, he's thinking various things in his own wa" "Are you stupid?" "If you go on with the good girl act, in the end, you're just going to lose to her." "That's no good." "The shameless woman winning in the end." "That may be." "Thank you." "For telling me about Souta-kun." "The hardest part was not knowing exactly what's going on, so I'm glad I could find out the truth." "Excuse me." "In Cinderella, I wonder what the prince's servants were thinking." "The stupid prince going around the country looking for a girl he met for just one night." "Don't you think he should stop?" "Going to lots of trouble and getting others involved, searching desperately for a woman whose face he doesn't even remember." "Making a huge deal, when he didn't even really love that woman, right?" "I would have broken that glass shoe for him." "I would have done the right thing." "The servant who broke the glass shoe," "I wonder how he must have felt?" "If he thinks he really did the right thing," "I think it's fine." "Even if he was wrong, since it's something he did after thinking a lot about it, there's no helping it." "Next up is the chance of precipitation in various areas." "In the Yokohama prefecture, there is a possibility of showers." "In the event of going outside please take an umbrella." "I'll be home late today." " I see." "Isn't it obvious I went out with a girl friend?" "If it was a date, I wouldn't stupidly write it down." "I have a request." " Hm?" "What is it?" "When I'm cheerful and having fun, and when I'm sad and crying, and when I'm happy and relaxed, I eat chocolate." "So, all the time." " Yes." "But when I'm in a good mood like this," "I would be satisfied if I ate elegantly, but, when it's not like that," "I want to gobble it up!" "You don't want to munch on it, but you want to gobble it up?" " That's it." "Chocolatier-san." " Yes." "Please make a chocolate" "I can gobble up and feel better with." "Sure." "I'll do anything." " Yay, happy!" "I love you, Saeko-san." "Ah, it's fine no matter what I say now." "I don't have to pretend I'm not interested in Saeko-san." "I don't have to act cold." "I can tell her I love her however much I want." "I don't know if this love is right or wrong." "But if this love is a sin, Saeko-san and I are already accomplices." "brought to you by akamiso, better late than never Shitsuren Chocolatier 9" "Hmm." " What's wrong?" "A chocolate you can gobble up," "I was thinking about how it would be." " Gobble up?" "Ah, like this?" "A completely filled bag, economical chocolate." "That might be." "But I don't think that's what she told me to make." "Ah, it's the adultery princess's wish." "Not "munch", but "gobble"." "Just ignoring it, huh?" " Totally ignored it." "You're going to ignore it?" " Like, when you feel bad, a chocolate that you can gobble up, and will make you feel better." " Like eating to reduce stress?" " Yeah, that's it." "Ah, like crunchy crunch, huh?" "Ha ha." "That was a nice expression, Kaoruko-san." "Do it again." "I won't." " This feeling is good." "Seems like it might become a clue." " It's really like, about a stressed woman, you should ask a stressed woman, right?" "Ha ha, very funny." " Hey, what do you think about a chocobar?" "With nuts or crisped rice, or with dried fruit mixed in." "Isn't that nice?" "That kind of casual product is surprisingly rare." " Yeah." "I wonder if it could become a product everybody could enjoy." "Yeah." " Then, for our next product, let's go with a chocobar." "Okay?" "Yeah, sounds good." "I want to crushingly eat that right now." "Bringing someone else's wife into the store and then having a refreshing smile," "I don't understand how someone could have such nerve." "And with a calm face, going around people's work place," "I don't understand this person's nerve at all either." "Ah, I'm sorry for bothering your work." "I'll go clean upstairs." "Good work." " Good work." "Good work." " Matsuri-chan, come here." "Okay." "What do you think about this situation?" " Eh?" "It's weird, right?" " Yeah." "This is supposed to be a sacred workplace." "But an unrelated woman is sleeping over." "And then on top, every night, with the chef - Um, nevermind." "Every night, every night se- That's not what I'm trying to say." "That's right." "No, every night what they're doing is not really relevant, but it being here is definitely weird." "Ri..right?" " Yes." "Matsuri-chan says it so smoothly." "So, don't you want to do something about it?" " Hmm." "But even when I told dad it was useless." "The Koyurugi DNA is absurdly weak against that woman." "Both the father and son." " It's true." "And then, what if the husband marches in, what are they planning to do?" "It will become a warzone." "I wonder if Yoshioka-san really knows nothing." "Souta-kun, you're handsome today too." "Thanks." "Is it you?" "!" "The chocolatier who took in someone else's wife!" "Oi, you." "You dared to touch my precious wife, huh." "I'll write whatever about this shop in our magazine, and crush this shop!" " Ah, it's closed down." "Ah, this place was surprisingly good." "Then let's go to Ricdor." "Let's go." " It's really delicious there too, right?" " Yeah." "1-2. 1-2." "Somehow." "Today." "With a beautiful." "Princess." " Yes." "Yes." "Yes." "Yes." "We." "Had." "Champagne." " Yes." "Yes." "Yes." "That princess." "That prince too." " The best." "The best." "Us too. (The best) To the beautiful princess and princes, cheers!" "Souta-kun?" "Kaoruko-san?" "Idiot." "It's okay, even if there is no more choco la vie." "Souta-kun has talent." "You can start over." "It's okay." "I won't let Souta-kun be alone." "I will support you for my whole life!" "Is it okay, Kaoruko-san?" "Kaoruko-san." " Souta-kun." "Kaoruko-san!" " Souta-kun!" "What a cliche climax." "Eh?" " Huh?" "Nothing, nothing." "Anyway." "If we mess up in this situation, the shop's future might even get involved." "So let's combine our powers and kick Saeko-san out." "Let's protect choco la vie, the two of us." "Okay?" "Yes." "Kaoruko-san." "Sorry to interrupt." "Um, I thought it wasn't my place, but." "I washed and ironed the aprons." "Ah, I'll leave them here." " Sorry you had to do that." "If there's anything else I can do, just let me know." "Ah, thank you so much." "It's very helpful." "No problem." "Wow, she ironed it so nicely." "No, no no no." "No good, no good." "See?" "That's it." "That's the adultery princ" "It's no good." "I can't think of anything." "Saeko-san, your phone." " Got it." "My wife couldn't come today due to an urgent matter." "Sorry, was it ringing?" " Yeah." "Work?" " Eh?" "That." "I was trying to answer Saeko-san's request." "Hm?" "A chocobar that brings happiness?" "That sounds so nice!" "Ah, I want to eat it quickly!" "Saeko-san." " Hm?" "Ah, nothing." "The chocobar," "I was wondering if it was a bit too casual." "Not at all." "I think it would definitely be fancy if Souta-kun makes it..." "This is not what I want to talk about." "Saeko-san, I don't understand." "What do you really think about me?" "Welcome back." " Ah, I'm back." "Ah, it was so cold." " Matsuri-chan." "Hm?" " It's almost spring break, right?" "Do you want to go somewhere together?" " Sounds good, where should we go?" "What about Okinawa?" "(T/N: south end of japan)" " Sounds good." "Or the opposite, Hokkaido?" "(north end)" " Yeah." "Eating udon in Kagawa. (far west)" " Yeah." "Kyoto is good too, and it's spring." " They all sound good." "Is there anywhere Matsuri-chan wants to go?" "Umm, for me, Sea Paradise, or Kamakura. (all very close to Tokyo) Disneyland or Disney sea is good too." "Ah." "Stay over vs Day trip" "I see." "Kamakura sounds good." " Yeah." "Then, Kamakura it is." " Yeah." "Then." " Yeah." "See you." " Yeah." "You're going to Kamakura, sounds nice." "Ah, I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to eavesdrop." "It's okay." "Matsuri-chan is going out with Olivier-kun, right?" "You two are a good match." " I wonder." "You two seem to fit each other well." "It's like that for couples that are doing well, right?" "Are things not going well?" "It's because of Matsuri-chan?" "Do you want to talk about it?" " Eh?" "There was someone I used to go out with." "That guy was really nice it somehow naturally became like that" "I thought so this is what you call going out" "I believed in him" "But it turns out that guy was also going out with another woman." "She continued to trust him, but, he didn't stop his two timing." "I was the stupid one for trusting him." "So I decided to stop just trusting the other person, like I was doing before." "Of course," "I know that Olivier is not like that guy." "Even though Olivier is trying to move forward, going along with it like everything is good," "I somehow feel guilty about it." "Matsuri-chan went through a lot." "It must have been painful." "But..." "Matsuri-chan is wrong." " Eh?" "Matsuri-chan's previous love failing is not because you believed in that guy." "It's because the partner to believe in was not right." "Just because you got hurt a lot, after that, if you randomly decide to hold back, you won't find happiness." "Isn't it weird that Matsuri-chan has to lose out on happiness because of a guy like that?" "If Matsuri-chan wants to believe in Olivier-kun, isn't it fine if you just believe in him and leave it up to him?" "If you don't believe in your partner, nothing is going to go well." "Just go along with it." "If you don't move forward, you can't determine if it's right or wrong." "While you're still young, you should fail a lot, and build experience for the future." "Okay?" "Honestly, I'm worried." "About whether Matsuri-chan is seriously falling in love with me or not." "Don't be so depressed about your staying over trip plans being subtly rejected." "And the partner is Matsuri." "You should have that kind of girl in the palm of your hand." "Is Souta not worried?" " Eh?" "About Saeko-san." "Sorry." "Were you worried about it?" "No." "I'm happy." "It's like a dream being able to be together with Saeko-san every day." "But sometimes I wonder, why this person is here." "If she really loves me, that's why she's staying with me, sometimes I think like that." "Well, that's that, but." "Sometimes I feel like she just doesn't want to go home, and she finds it convenient to stay." "I wonder which it is." "I don't know." "What Saeko-san is thinking." "So, frankly, even if I hold her, I don't feel like I'm holding her." "I feel lonelier than when I'm alone." "I never felt such things when I was with Erena." "A one-sided love is really lonely, right?" "I felt like if I was with Souta-kun, I could share that feeling." "I felt like Erena and I shared the same feelings." "Which is why I was thinking about seriously dating." "Wow, what a pretty place." " yeah." "How did you find it?" "Because it's your birthday." " Eh?" "Really?" "You made a reservation?" " Yeah." "I'm so happy!" " What do you want to drink?" "But in the end, the me who left things hanging like this with Erena, has no right to be saying such things." "Because I hurt Erena." "Sorry, Souta." " Eh?" "I'm not lonely anymore." " Huh?" "Let's go to Kyoto!" "Let's go to see sakuras!" "Matsuri" "What a simple message." " Simple is best." "I did it." "Somehow, she seems far away." "Even more so than before." "I'll be home late today." " I see." "Isn't it obvious I went out with a girl friend?" "This wasn't for sale." "Souta-kun made it specifically for me." "Olivier-kun was that happy." "Yes." "Yesterday, after thinking about it a lot," "I sent a message to him right away." "I wonder if that was okay." "It's fine, just dive right in with that mood." "You're right." " Good morning." "Kaoruko-san, good morning." " Good morning." "I'm going out for a bit today." "I have plans with a friend." " Is that so?" "Be careful." " Take care." "If there's any development, let me know, okay, Matsuri-chan?" "Sure." "See you." "Take care." " Okay." "You've fallen, right?" "You were made to fall, right?" "Matsuri-chan." "That's no good, get back to your senses." "You can't lose to that woman's poison." "What are you saying, Kaoruko-san?" "Eh?" " She's not like that," "Saeko-san." "After talking with her yesterday, I felt super relieved." "She's so reliable as a woman senpai that knows a lot about love." "I should have asked her for advice earlier." "I think she's thinking properly about onii-chan too." "Then, see you." "The Koyurugi DNA is way too useless." "Sekitani?" "Who is it?" "Spam?" "Sekitani." "Sekita..." "Ah, Sekiya!" "In detail" "What is this!" "Jeez." "4 characters." "After so many weeks passed, the reply is just 4 characters." "Huh?" "What is this?" "I don't get it." "How annoying." "Let's all get back to work." "Ah, sorry." "But we're all done for today, right?" "And not many customers are coming either." "Well, that's true, but." "Welcome." "Hello." "Ah." " Eh?" "Hello." "Hello." " Is Koyurugi-san here?" "Ah, umm." "Welcome." "I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I should come to greet you." "Thank you." " How are things going?" "Good, thanks." "But, well, in this season, business is comparatively small." "One event after another must have been very busy, isn't this nice." " I guess so." "It's okay." "This person hasn't realized anything." "It's okay." "An assortment of bonbon chocolates, please." "Thank you." "Kaoruko-san, please take care of it." "Yes." "Please sit while we prepare." "Here." " Thanks." "I'm thinking about products for the summer nowadays." "What does Yoshioka-san think about glass?" "Glass?" "Like ice cream?" " Yes." "I was thinking of doing it just during the summer." "Since our lounge space is small, it might not be enough for the customers." "That's right." "Then how about this?" "Mousse au chocolat." "That was delicious." "Saeko " "Always bought some." "There was always some in the fridge, I looked forward to it." "I see." "Thank you." "Has Saeko been coming lately?" "Yes." " When?" "The day before Valentine's?" "Ah." "That gorgeous box." "The chocolates in that were really delicious." "Since I had never seen such products from choco la vie before," "I wondered about it and Saeko said they were made for her specifically by Koyurugi-kun." "Ah, that's right." "I made that as a new idea, but it got tiring very fast." "I couldn't make it into a store product." "But since I made it already," "I wanted her to eat it with Yoshioka-san." "Which is why I gave it to your wife." "I see." "Thank you." "Well, in that period, I thought there would be a mountain of chocolate in your home, so I worried that it might be a bother." "No, not at all." "That was really delicious." "Thank you." "It was new, but well balanced, we were saying Koyurugi-san is very talented." "Is that so?" "Thank you." "Have you met Saeko since then?" " Sorry?" "Has she contacted you?" " No." "Then it's fine." "Did something happen?" " No." "Well, a bit." "Just a tiny fight." "Things that happen all the time." "And she went to her family." "She hasn't contacted me since then." "About her friends," "I don't know anyone except Koyurugi-kun." "If you knew anything, I thought I would ask you about it." "I see." "It seems like something Saeko-san would do." "Running away from home or something." "I guess so." "Well, there's no big problem or anything." "She's just so..." "Well, then, if Saeko comes here..." "Yes." "I'll tell her to grow up already, and quickly go back home." "I'm counting on you." "I'm sorry, I got in the way of your work." "No, please come any time." "Thank you." "Then." " Thank you." "Has Koyurugi-kun ever hit a woman?" "Not something you would call hitting, but." "Like " " No way." "I haven't." "That's right." "There's no special meaning to it" "Eh?" "Did you have a fight?" "With your husband." "Yeah." "I'm sorry for asking a weird thing." "You're leaving?" "Then." "Yoshioka-san." "I'm sorry." "I lied to you." "When we were small, I once hit my younger sister's head with a ball." "My sister cried a lot, and I was scolded really bad by our father." "The Koyurugi family seems to be full of smiles, it's nice." "Then, another time." "Saeko-san." "What really happened with Yoshioka-san?" "Did you share the chocolates I gave you with Yoshioka-san?" "The chocolates Souta-kun gave me." "The eclair series were really delicious." "Then what were those tears?" "Saeko-san, even after coming this far, do I still have no right to know the real you?" "How much are you going to use me?" "I'm back." "Huh?" "Where's Olivier-kun and Kaoruko-san?" "They left." " I see." "Eh?" "Souta-kun's working alone again?" "Jeez, you're so hardworking." "Hey." " Hm?" "Yoshioka-san came by today." "He asked if there's been no contact from Saeko-san." "I said there wasn't." "I see." "Thank you." "I'm sorry, Souta-kun." "For getting you involved." "Involved?" "You don't even acknowledge me as an accomplice?" "Saeko-san!" "I'm not saying this because Yoshioka-san came, but." "Shouldn't you go back home already?" "I don't know what happened, but." "Saeko-san wants to go back home too, right?" "You must be worried about various things, too." " Worried?" "About what?" "Like, about Yoshioka-san." "I'm not worried the least about that person." "Ah, your parents might worry about you too." "They probably don't know." " Eh?" "Even if they knew, they wouldn't worry about me." "They would just tell me to go back home." "Go back home, since it's bad to your husband." "I see." " That's the kind of person my mom is." "I didn't know." "I never asked." "About Saeko-san's family or anything." "With Souta-kun, we didn't have a relationship where we would talk about these things." "I'll go back home tomorrow." "Thanks for everything until now." "Don't throw me away!" "It's like the face of a stranger." "I probably still don't know anything about Saeko-san." "No, I won't know." "Probably, ever." "Stay here a bit longer." "The things you've done, what you feel in your heart, I can't know everything anyway." "I can't know everything." "So I don't care about anything anymore." "Who you're married to, what kind of work I do, whether this love is right or wrong," "I don't care anymore." "I just" "love you." "I love you." "Ah, this is love." "There is no right or wrong." "This is..." "Love."
