On the fourteenth of February, the day of Valentine's Day came in the midst of the stinging cold.
　Tenna and Amana made the chocolate for this day with Tenri.

　They received great praise from Rensui and others who gave them to her as friend chocolates.
　One boy in particular, who had a special fondness for Tenna, even shed tears at the fact that he had received the chocolate even though he knew it was in-law.
　Tenna carefully tasted the chocolate she received in exchange for her friends and laughed at each other.

　Tomoyuri muttered something to herself, "Amana-chan, you're raising your girl power to Junchou..." but as for Tenna, she wanted to be as good at cooking and making sweets as Kurone and Tenashi.
　Rather than for the sake of the future, it comes from the desire to see Wa eating the food the two of them have prepared with such delicacy, and to make them smile with their own creations as well.

　You could say that Valentine's Day chocolates are the first step.
　When I gave homemade chocolates before and the ones I gave to Rensui and the others, I made them with Amari, but as for the ones I gave to Wa, I made them from scratch with my own hands only.

I wonder if you would say the chocolates you made are delicious, Mana-san?
'Of course. There's no mistaking the mama who tasted it.

　Amanashi also makes them as she passes them to herself in Amanashi, and they taste each other's work to perfect them.
　As expected, there was a difference in skill due to experience, and the chocolates were not as good as the ones she made.

　Still, her kind mother praised Tenna's chocolate as the best in the world.
　If Wa also said the same thing about the deliciousness of the chocolates, the young girl's heart couldn't stop expecting how happy she would be.

　With her heart racing, Tenna runs out to Wa, who is waiting in another room.

''Onii-san, welcome back!
"Oh. Finally.

　I called out loudly so that he could hear me on the other side of the door, and I heard Wa's reply in a voice sounding somewhat amused.
　Not long after, Tenna came out of the room and laughed at Wa, a little nervously.

''Onii-san, hurry up, hurry up!''
No need to rush, I'll be there.

　Although Tenna, who wants to ask what you think of the chocolate, smiles bitterly as she is pulled away by Tenna's hand, she is smiling because she can tell that it is an extraordinarily confident work.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.

'So what kind of chocolate did you make, Amana-chan?
Um, do you mind sitting on the couch?
I'm sorry.

　After making sure that Wa sat down on the couch as she was told, Tenna ran to the kitchen, shaking her bright brown hair.
　She came back with her hands hidden behind her back and slowly went to approach Wa, a change from her earlier hectic appearance.
　However, her face does not hide her expectations, and her mouth is curved with Nimanima.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're hiding, but it's not so wild that you need to be able to talk about it.
　Rather, she is writhing in agony at the cuteness of Tenna, who is trying to at least succeed with her surprise while suppressing her deviating feelings.

　Unaware of such inner thoughts of Wa, Tenna stopped when she reached her own reach.

''Ah, um, you know what........''

　I thought he was going to give it to me as it was, but when it came time to hand it over, my cheeks were stained with nervousness that seemed to overwhelm me.
　His little legs are also restless, and his gaze is unsettled as he looks to the right and left.

''This!　I worked so hard to make it so that you could eat it!

　But after a short time, Tenna seemed to have decided, and she presented the chocolate in both hands to Wa.
　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

The actuality of this is that it's a very good thing. Can I eat it right away?
Uh, yeah...

　Asked that by Wa, who received the homemade chocolates, Tenna nodded with a nervous and tense face.
　After receiving permission, he takes out one of the chocolates from the package.

　It was chocolate hardened in the shape of a rabbit and decorated with colorful chocolate pens.
　It is a cute little piece of workmanship that makes even a male Wa unintentionally hesitate to eat it, and it shows just how much enthusiasm Tenna put into making it.
　While suppressing a sense of regret, Wa chews on the rabbit-shaped chocolate.

　Tenna and Tenashi wait with bated breath for Wa to taste and chew her impressions well.
　In particular, Tenna's heart is pounding to the point that she feels as if her heart is about to burst at any moment.

　Eventually, when Wa swallowed the chocolate and took a breath....


''I'm surprised that you're better at it than the last time you got it. It was delicious.
You sure?
I'm not going to lie. Thank you, Amana-chan.
''~~ Heh, heh........''

　Wa strokes his head with lavish praise, and Tenna smiles with a big smile from the joy that comes overflowing in two ways.

　Tenna loves to be patted by Wa in this way.
　There are various situations, such as when he has worked hard or simply cares for me, but when he is stroked by this big hand, it warms his heart.

''That's good, Tenna.''
'Yes!　The next one is yours to give to your brother.
'What?　Can you give me Amanashi too?
'There's no reason why I shouldn't be the only one to give it to Tianna.

　Following her daughter, Amanashi hands the chocolate to Wa.
　She doesn't look nervous, but on the contrary, she shows no shame in handing it to her.

　What she made was a chocolate muffin.
　The glossy surface was mixed with crushed nuts, and it was clear that the flavor was not too sweet.

　Naturally, they got full marks from the Wa who ate them.
　There was also a strawberry muffin made for Tenna, which made her realize once again that her goal was high.

　─ ─ So.........

'Onii-san.
Hmm?
Amanae, I'm going to make more delicious chocolate for you. Can you eat it again?
''Ah. Amana-chan is Amanashi's daughter, so she can still be good at it.
Yeah, I'll do my best!

　Tenna speaks of her excitement and makes a promise.
　Wa and Tenri, who had seen that determination up close, both let out a smile and thought about the young girl's future.

''Hmph. Well then, I'll do my best not to be overtaken by Tenna too.''
'Oh, mommy's a tease!
''It's not just Tenashi, you have to work harder than Black Sound~?
If you give me a bunch of compliments, I'll be fine!
''Ahahahaha.

　Tenna is to keep up with her two goals.
　Tenri is to be a mother who will continue to be respected by her beloved daughter.
　Wa is to create a body that can meet the girl's expectations.

　There is no point in missing any of them, they spend the day peacefully with a warm future in mind....
