The comments you receive for the Valentine’s Day event.
Valentine’s Day in Japan is traditionally celebrated with girls giving away chocolates (White Day is traditionally for boys gifting chocolates). There are a variety of chocolates that can be given on Valentine’s Day such as “giri chocolate” (chocolate that’s given out of courtesy to boys that the girl has imposed on, or feel duty-bound to give as a sign of appreciation, not a sign that they are interested in the boy), “tomo chocolate” (chocolate given to friends), “yuri choco” (chocolate given to a girl that the girl is interested in), “ore choco” (chocolate for yourself), “twi choco” (for your twitter friends), etc… More recently, there’s been signs of boys giving chocolate to other boys on Valentine’s Day regardless of whether they’re a love interest, close friend, or their birthday, etc, and that’s being called “homo chocolate” lol.
Anyway, the kind of chocolate that was given in this event is “honmei chocolate,” roughly translated to “real intent chocolate.” Honmei is almost always handmade (if not handmade, it is expensive, high quality chocolate) and given to the one that your love is serious for. Here they mention actual handmade chocolate for “honmei,” so it’s been translated that way. A lot of single girls use honmei chocolate as an opportunity to reveal their feelings.

「出たな義理チョコ！いや、義理でもうれしいもんだぜ。気ぃ使わせちまって悪いな！…って、何怒ってんだよ！義理じゃねーって…マジか！？もったいなくて食えねえ…。いや、大事に味わって食うぜ。ありがとな」

“There it is, the obligatory chocolate! It sure makes me happy to receive it though, even an obligatory one. Sorry that you had to put up with making these appreciative gestures… Wait, why are you mad?! It’s not obligatory… Are you serious?! I can’t eat it now, it would be a waste… No, I mean, I’ll savor them. Thanks.”

「…クハッ。オレがもらっていいの？サンキュー。……何ショ、その心配そうな顔？オレは別に、舌は肥えてないショ。つーか、へたに一粒いくらとかって高級チョコより、（ニックネーム）の手作りって方が断然美味いって思うけど？」
Makishima Yuusuke
“…Kuha. I can have this? Thanks. …Why do you look so worried? It’s not like I’m particular about food or anything. In fact, I think that (Nickname)’s handmade chocolate tastes absolutely much better than any high-quality truffle that costs tons of money for just one.”

I was wondering what I would do if I didn’t receive from (Nickname). …You wouldn’t give me anything until this late in the day… and you gave obligatory chocolate to the other guys. …Hey, I don’t want you giving chocolate to the others, even if it is obligatory. …Thank you for this homemade chocolate!”

“Waah! ♪ It’s homemade chocolate! If I didn’t have (Nickname)-chan’s chocolate, it wouldn’t have felt like Valentine’s to me~. …Ah! I haven’t taken chocolate from anyone else besides you, of course! …Can I make a reservation for next year’s chocolate from you, too?”
