Shin: Uhmー With this…We’ve got everything we no longer had at home. Let’s head back, Nii-san.
Carla: …Oi, Shin. What on earth is that booth over there?
Shin: Hm? …Looks like a Valentine’s Day area. In the human world, there’s this custom where you give chocolates to your lover or to the person you like.
Carla: Hmph…Nonsense. We’re heading home.
Shin: …Ah, no, Nii-san, hold up one second. Can I go take a quick peek?
Carla: Shin…I doubt this is the case, but don’t tell me you too…
Shin: No way! I just want to investigate a little, that’s all.
Carla: That’s unnecessary. Even just holding an interesting in such a thing is shameful.
Shin: I don’t think you have to go that far…Aren’t you the one who always says that a King has to be broad-minded at all times?
Carla: …Don’t take too long.
Shin: Heehー Even amongst chocolates there’s a wide variety…More importantly, I might just be imagining things, but somehow I feel as like the customers are getting oddly excited…
Carla: …Oi, Shin, we’re getting out of here as soon as possible ー Ugh…! Oi! You mortal! Is that your way of acting in front of a King!? If you value your own life, clear the path!
Shin: …! N-Nii-san is…being washed away by a bunch of girls!
Carla: Ugh…! Oi, Shin! Where are you!?
Shin: R-Right here! Hang in there!
Carla: …Enough! This is ridiculous, Shin! I’ll blow these women away!
Shin: Waah! Don’t be so hasty! That’ll mean trouble! I’ll come to your rescue right away, so wait just a little longer!
Carla: Why must I waitー Ugh…Shin, don’t tell me you are planning to buy those chocolates in your hand?
Shin: You’re spot on! I’ll be right back!
Carla: Oi! You, don’t go wild over some stupid chocolatesー …! Women, listen! I’m telling you not to push!!!
Shin: …Phew, you sure had it rough out there, huh? You were completely overwhelmed by those girls’ power.
Carla: …All of that because you offered to go to that place.
Shin: Sorry! I did not think it would be that scary of a place. Nobody would expect chaos to break loose in a hall decorated with nothing but pink and red.
Carla: Hmph! Both in the past and the present, the passion that comes from a woman’s love obviously knows no boundaries. This has been recorded in various tales and stories, has it not?
Shin: Nii-san, cheer up a little.
Carla: I was assaulted by those women! My mood won’t improve so easilyー
Shin: Right, right. I’ll give you this.
Carla: …? These are…The chocolates you bought earlier, are they not?
Shin: I learnt this over at the booth earlier, but Valentine’s Day is also a day on which you can convey your feelings of admiration and gratitude towards someone you feel closely connected to. These chocolates are supposed to go well with cured ham, so I figured you’d be pleased with them.
Shin: …This still isn’t enough to cheer you up?
Carla: …Obviously. Who do you think I am?
Shin: Figured so…Sorry! In that case, I’ll eat these…
Carla: I am not returning them.
Carla: As the King of the Founders, I cannot possibly refuse an offering from my subordinate. It isn’t to my liking, but I shall accept it.
Carla: If you understand, let’s hurry up and head back home. I simply cannot stand to stay in this place that reeks of humans any longer.
Carla: …That is higly unsettling. What are you giggling for?
