Kuro: Ugh, how cold… I should have worn a scarf.

(I don’t mind Kanzaki calling me for an urgent matter, but what in the world could it be?)

(Well, I won’t know until he gets here. Oh, speak of the devil, look who showed up.)

Souma: Haa… Haa… Kiryuu-dono, my utmost apologies for making you wait!

Kuro: What’s up? I just got here too, no need to apologize.

More importantly, why did you ask me to come here of all places? Is something bothering you?

Souma: No, nothing in particular is troubling me. However… it’s just… I’d like you to accept this chokoreito(1).

Kuro: Oh? Chocolate…? Well, if it’s a gift I accept it, but… why are you giving it to me?

Souma: I stopped at a konbini(2) in the neighborhood and spotted a large amount of chocolate for sale.

And since Kiryuu-dono is always looking out for me, I thought I’d give you this…

Kuro: Aaaah, got it. It’s gonna be Valentine’s Day soon.

My little sister is also excited about the preparations. Every year, she gives me and Dad homemade chocolate. She’s really cute, right?

Anyway, thank you. Kanzaki, if you’re giving this to people who take care of you, are you also going to call Hasumi?

Souma: Yes. But as I walked to class, I heard from kurasumeito(3) that he was holed up in the Student Council room.

So I haven’t given it to him yet… surely Hasumi-dono is very busy with the preparations for the upcoming Chocorafesu(4).

Kuro: That’s right. The planning and management of the “Choco Festival” are the responsibility of the Student Council and the teachers.

It’s a big event that has almost the same proportions as a seasonal S1.

It’s similar to StarFes, when almost all Units announce their participation. If things go that way, we’ll end up pulling all-nighters again.

In this situation, I even wonder if we’ll have time to think about ourselves.

During “ChocoFes”, the idols give chocolate to the guests.

In this case, in addition to the performance and costumes, we need to be ready for that too.

If we are also going to participate in “ChocoFes”, we need to submit a solid proposal.

Souma: Kiryuu-dono, you haven’t talked to Hasumi-dono yet if we’re going to participate in Chocorafesu or not?

Kuro: Well, you see… As I said before, “Choco Festival” is an event almost the size of a S1.

If most units are going to participate, Akatsuki cannot afford to be left out.

Also, the more units that join the event, the more guests we will have.

When an idol receives chocolate, they also grow in popularity. It would be a good chance to be seen by guests who don’t know us yet, too.

Certainly Hasumi is thinking about participating as well.



Translation notes:

1) "Chocolate". Souma speaks some words in broken English that are highlighted in the original, so I decided to keep them with footnotes to ensure understanding.

2) "Convenience store"

3) "Classmates"

4) "Chocolate festival"
