Valentine's Day Aperitifs
Hatsumi: .......
Hatsumi: Phew.......
Cafe Customer A: Hey....... Isn't that girl reading a book over there cool?
Café Customer B: The one with long hair? I see her here sometimes.
Café Customer A: She's beautiful, isn't she? She has an atmosphere that makes it hard to approach, though......
Hatsumi: Well then....... Let’s get going.
Café Customer A: -Ah.
Hatsumi: ......?
Hatsumi: Heh.
Cafe Customer A: ......! She smiled back......
Café Customer B: Too bad she left......
Maid: Welcome back to the maid planet, Master~.
Maid: We are here to take your instant photos~.
Iroha: Master, thank you for waiting. We've brought you a special drink and omelette rice.
Hatsumi: Can I order a special serving of love as usual?
Iroha: Leave it to me!
Iroha: One~ two......for the master, mix, mix, kyuun♪
Hatsumi: Hah, gah, kuuuuh~. No matter how many times I see it, it's still cute......
Hatsumi: It's good to see you again, Iroha.
Iroha: I'm also happy to see you again, Hatsumi-san.
Hatsumi: I have a thirst that only you in your maid costume can quench.
Hatsumi: How are you doing just lately?
Iroha: Yes! I'm having fun practicing. I'm also going to see Eden's performances.
Hatsumi: That's the best. When it comes to expression, you can only go beyond your own limits if you enjoy it.
Iroha: Hatsumi-san, are you out alone today?
Hatsumi: Yes, I went to the city to think about the plays. I usually think about them while driving down the Shuto Expressway.
Hatsumi: I came here for a change of scenery. I feel relaxed when I see Iroha's face.
Iroha: Ehehe...... I'm kind of embarrassed when you say that.
Hatsumi: Your blushing face is cute too.
Hatsumi: How about next time we go for a night drive along the seaside together?
Iroha: Wow, that sounds nice! I'm a little nervous because it's like an adult date, but…...
Maid: Iroha-chan! I'll take one instant photo, please!
Hatsumi: Oops, I guess that's the end of the fun chat. You can go now.
Iroha: Yes! Let's talk again, okay?
Hatsumi: (It's been a long time since I've had a day off, but I ended up thinking only about theatre. I've found the book I'm looking for, so I think I'll go home today.)
Hatsumi: Hm? Whisky bonbons and gateau chocolates......this line-up.
Hatsumi: ......Ah! It’s almost Valentine's Day huh.
Female Customer A: Hmmm....... I'm thinking of making fondant chocolates this year, how hard is it to make it by hand?
Female Guest B: Don't be shy-it's your true love! Why don't you confess your feelings to them?
Female Customer A: I don't have that kind of courage~....... But I might write a letter. It's a good opportunity.
Female Customer B: That's a good idea! I'll put a message on my friend's chocolate too. Ah! There's a card over there.
Hatsumi: (I also received more than I could hold in my two hands from fans and friends last year...... Especially memorable was Eden.)
Hatsumi: (Iruru took the lead, planned it with the members and picked it out for me. It was a wonderful item.)
Female Customer C: Give your manager this famous brand cake over here~. Get some obligation chocolates to hand out in the company......
Female Customer D: Isn't it good that there is such a large amount? I can give it to everyone you care for.
Hatsumi: (I enjoy everything I receive from a girl, even if it's obligation chocolate. It's also fun to think about the different emotions and intentions of the giver.)
Hatsumi: (A day to express love and gratitude to each other through sweet and sometimes bittersweet chocolate...... Valentine's Day is the best event of all.)
Female Customer C: Choosing chocolates like this is one of the best parts. You can find rare items only now, and new items are added every year so you never get bored.
Female Customer D: I guess so. They all look so delicious, I can't stop looking at them. I hope they like it.......
Hatsumi: (No, wait. Think of Valentine's Day itself as a course. The chocolate given to you is the main dish. Then the way they choose it is-)
Hatsumi: (It's like an aperitif, isn't it!?)
