220 Entrance Examination and Valentine's Day [17]





 I got a shocking confession from Rose.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I mean.

 I was in a state of panic, but I managed to spell out the words desperately.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not going to confess to you in a place like this with so many classmates!

 My head was spinning like never before, and I was trying to calm my raging emotions.

No, no, no, no. What I'm talking about is the goodwill between a man and a woman, what we call romantic feelings.

 I'm not saying that you can't have a good time, but I'm saying that you can't have a good time.

I'm not sure what to say.

 I'm not sure how to respond to this, as I've never experienced the affection of the opposite s*x.

 Then - I guess he could sense my confusion.

I'm not looking for a response right now. I just wanted to make sure you knew how I felt.

 She gave me a brief explanation about the intention of the "real" chocolate.

Okay, okay. ....... Anyway, thank you.

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

"Hey Allen, it's freshly made. If you want, you can have it now.

"Well, that's true, too.

 I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a little nervous about this.

You're good. ......

 They look like cookies from a candy store.

It's not a ready-made cookie, of course. I baked them just for you, Allen.

 She smiled softly and fluffily, saying something that made me happy.

I'm sure you'll like it. I'll take it!

 I suppressed my racing heartbeat and popped one of the palm-sized cookies into my mouth.

 The texture is crispy and smooth.
 The dough is smooth, free of lumps, and has a moderate sweetness.
 The chocolate chips make their presence felt here and there.

 It's a perfect product with nothing to complain about.

What do you think, ......?

 Rose asked me cautiously.

I've never had a better cookie. I've never had such a delicious cookie in my life!

"Oh, yeah, ......! I'm so happy to hear you say that. It was worth practicing every day.

 She smiles a girlish smile, as if a large flower had bloomed.

".......

 She smiled a girlish smile, as if a large flower had bloomed, and I couldn't help but admire her cuteness.

I'm not sure what to say, but you're very bold,.......

I'm not sure what to say. That's so Rose. ......!

d*mn, I hate you today,...... Allen,.......

 The classroom was suddenly buzzing with activity, and the chime rang out to announce the start of homeroom.

 With that as a signal, we each took our seats.

 Just a few seconds later, the door opened vigorously, and a vigorous Ms. Leia walked in with great enthusiasm.

"Good morning, everyone! Today is Valentine's Day, which is once a year. ....... I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

 She smiled a somewhat shady smile and expressed a rare grumpiness.

(......? I'm sure you're not the only one.

 As I was absentmindedly thinking about this.

You know what? "You know, I heard that you're too masculine to be popular at all, even when you were in school.

"Yeah, I heard that from my senior in the swordsmanship club. He's got a great face and a great style, but ....... Love is a very difficult thing to find, isn't it ......?

I think I'm going to be thirty this year? I guess it's time to start thinking about marriage. ......

Speaking of which, ....... I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I've been so impressed with your work. Maybe she's secretly training to be a bride. ......

 Information that I didn't really want to know flew wildly from all over the classroom.

 The teacher must have overheard the murmurings of everyone.
 The teacher's eyebrows twitched, and she wore a complex expression of mixed anger and sadness.

Well, well, morning homeroom. ....... There's nothing to report. Let's move on to the first period class. ....... I've prepared a 'special menu' for today, so some of you (・・・・・) should be prepared .......

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

(haha .......) I don't know what it is, but this is going to be another troublesome one ......)

 I know this because I've been through a lot of trouble this past year.

 The next class will be 'rough' in all likelihood.

"Okay. So, whoever is ready to go, please move to the schoolyard!



 Then, with a big sigh, I headed for the schoolyard with the rest of the class.
