    I ended up talking to her without thinking.

    She seemed like the mature yet cute type.
[12:03] Ryo
    That sounds like a lovely encounter.
[12:05] Ryo
    I also ran into someone I
    knew when I bought the book.

    Hey, Ichika. Want me to guess

[13:00] Ichika
    Go right ahead.
[13:01] Rio
    You're debating what to do for
    my brother's Valentine's Day gift.
[13:05] Ichika
    Yes. You are absolutely correct.
[13:08] Ichika
    Ryo-san's been calling me
    every day lately, and...
[13:12] Rio
    Yeah?
[13:15] Ryo
    Only nine more days until Valentine's!
[13:18] Ryo
    Only eight more days until Valentine's!
[13:21] Ryo
    Only seven more days until Valentine's!
[13:24] Ichika
    He's actually counting down!
[13:26] Rio
    Yikes. How annoying.
[13:28] Ichika
    He's basically saying, "I'm looking
    forward to something. Gimme."
[13:31] Ichika
    I'm terrified to think what would
    happen if I didn't give him anything.
[13:35] Rio
    So you're saying you're going
    to give him chocolate, right?
[13:40] Ichika
    Yeah... I guess.
[13:44] Ichika
    I know it's just chocolate, but what
    kind of chocolate do older guys like?
[13:49] Ichika
    Does he want some from a famous
    shop... or something simpler?
[13:54] Rio
    Seriously, I keep saying this,
[13:57] Rio
    but I'm sure he'll be thrilled
    with anything he gets from you.
[14:01] Rio
    It doesn't matter if he's an adult.
[14:03] Ichika
    It's easy for you to say that,
[14:06] Ichika
    but if I'm getting him something,
    I want him to really be happy about it.
[14:11] Ichika
    I dunno... I just want
    to really think about it.
[14:16] Rio
    Doesn't that mean you're...
[14:20] Rio
    Well, whatever. I gotta head to my club.
[14:23] Ichika
    Hey, Rio. What kind of
    chocolate does Ryo-san like?
[14:26] Rio
    No idea. I've never talked
    to him about Valentine's Day.
[14:31] Ichika
    But you gave me advice
    for his Christmas gift!
[14:35] Rio
    That was a one-time-only winter special.
[14:37] Rio
    That deal has come and gone.
[14:39] Ichika
    No way...
[14:41] Rio
    Besides, this Valentine's Day
    is between you and my brother.
[14:48] Ichika
    Are you giving anyone a Valentine, Rio?
[14:53] Rio
    I'm only on the receiving end.
[14:58] Ichika
    Seriously, what should I do?
[15:02] Ichika
    I've never actually given
    anyone a Valentine before,
[15:06] Ichika
    so I have no idea what kind
    of chocolate to get him.
[15:09] Ichika
    Then again, Ryo-san's not
    actually my valentine,
[15:13] Ichika
    and he's basically coercing
    me into getting him one...

    were some kind of creeper.

    who happens to be a little playful!
[15:36] Ichika

[16:32] Ichika

[16:36] Masuda
    Well? Like it?
[16:37] Ichika
    Yes, it's great.
[16:40] Masuda
    Whew, good. Your forehead
    wrinkles finally disappeared.
[16:44] Ichika
    D-Did I look that intense?
[16:47] Masuda
    You looked really deep in thought.
[16:50] Ichika
    I guess he was worried about me.
    Masuda-san is pretty mature after all.
[16:54] Masuda
    Maybe I'll get some yakisoba, too.
[16:58] Masuda
    A limited-edition Valentine's Day dessert?
[17:01] Masuda
    Could it be you were deep in thought
    about Valentine's Day, Ichika-chan?
[17:06] Masuda
    Whoa! Are you okay?
[17:08] Masuda
    Here's some water.
[17:13] Ichika
    How can everyone tell?
[17:15] Ichika
    Is it just showing on my face?
[17:17] Ichika
    Yes...
[17:19] Masuda
    I see. Valentine's, huh?
[17:22] Masuda
    Oh, how sweet. Bittersweet like chocolate.
[17:25] Ichika
    Like chocolate?
[17:26] Masuda
    So...
[17:27] Masuda
    are you getting Ryo something?!
[17:28] Ichika
    I-I plan to... Even though I don't want to.
[17:32] Masuda
    Yeah, that's definitely
    what I expected to hear.
[17:34] Ichika
    But I don't know exactly what to get him.
[17:38] Masuda
    Ah, so that's it.
[17:40] Ichika
    Yes.
[17:41] Masuda
    I see.
[17:43] Masuda
    Well, for Ryo, you might want to get
    something that's not chocolate.
[17:47] Ichika
    Huh?
[17:48] Masuda
    He's super popular, so he got endless
    amounts of chocolate when he was in school.
[17:53] Ichika
    I figured.
[17:54] Masuda
    And when were in our second year of
    middle school, on Valentine's Day,
[17:57] Masuda
    I'm not sure if someone had a grudge or what,
[18:00] Masuda
    but one of the chocolates he
    got had a clump of hair in it.
[18:06] Ichika
    What?!
[18:07] Masuda
    I happened to be there when it happened,
    and it seemed to cause him some trauma.
[18:14] Masuda
    Ever since then, he hasn't accepted
    Valentine's chocolates from anyone.
[18:19] Masuda
    If they were from someone anonymous,
    he just threw them away.
[18:22] Ichika
    Does Rio know about that?
[18:26] Masuda
    He asked me not to tell anyone, so he
    probably hasn't told Rio-chan, either.
[18:30] Masuda
    Wait! Don't tell Ryo or
    Rio-chan that I told you this!
[18:34] Masuda
    Please!
SIGN    Everything about
    today is a secret!
[18:35] Ichika
    You got it.
[18:37] Masuda
    And it's been ten years since then,
    so I'm not sure how he is now.
[18:42] Ichika
    Um... So what was Ryo-san
    like as a teenager?
[18:47] Masuda
    Curious?
[18:48] Ichika
    Oh, no! I didn't mean for it
    to sound deep or anything.
[18:51] Masuda
    Well, let's see... In high school,
[18:55] Masuda
    Ryo didn't try to fit in or hang
    out with the class or anything.
[18:59] Masuda
    I figured he was a good guy,
    so I hung out with him.
[19:03] Masuda
    But there were other guys who complained,
    saying he wasn't much of a team player.
[19:10] Masuda
    And he stood out even more in a bad way
    because he was super popular with the girls.
[19:17] Masuda
    But we had a reunion recently,
[19:20] Masuda
    and our classmates we hadn't seen
    in forever saw Ryo and said,
[19:24] Masuda
    "Wow, he's changed! He's way more friendly!"
[19:27] Masuda
    And I'm sure one thing that made him
    that way was meeting you, Ichika-chan.
[19:32] Ichika
    Huh?!
[19:33] Masuda
    Man, the power of love is
    just amazing sometimes!
[19:37] Masuda
    In a good way and in a bad
    way, man, I'm really sorry...
[19:41] Ichika
    It's okay.
[19:42] Masuda
    I know I said a lot, but to be honest,
[19:44] Masuda
    I'm sure Ryo would be happy to get
    anything from you, even chocolate.
[19:48] Ichika
    Rio told me the same thing.
[19:51] Masuda
    Did I end up confusing you even more? Sorry.
[19:54] Ichika
    Oh, no. I'm glad I got your opinion.
[19:57] Ichika
    I could tell that you wanted Ryo-san
    to have a nice Valentine's Day.
[20:03] Masuda
    When you say it like that,
    it's super embarrassing! Please stop!
[20:09] Ichika
    He's actually embarrassed.

[20:10] Masuda
    By the way, I absolutely love chocolate,
    so wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
[20:15] Masuda
    Wait, did you just laugh it off?
[20:20] Ichika
    Something that's not chocolate...
SIGN    Chocolate
[20:24] Ichika
    If he has memories like that, it's probably
    better that I don't get him food.
[20:30] Ichika
    A plushie?
[20:32] Ichika
    He wouldn't want that...

[20:34] Ichika
    A book?
[20:35] Ichika
    But it'd be so hard to pick the right one...
[20:38] Ichika
    A tie clip? I just got him one.
[20:42] Ichika
    I wonder if I'd know what would make
    Ryo-san happy if I were more mature...
[20:48] Ichika
    Maybe it shouldn't be a thing, but...
[20:51] Ichika
    An action...
[20:58] Ichika
    Hang on a second! What the
    heck was I just thinking?!
[21:00] Ichika
    Nope, nope, nope!
    Not happening, no way! What?!
[21:02] Ichika
    Am I really thinking that'd
    make Ryo-san happy?!
[21:05] Ichika
    I'm getting way too full of myself!
    What's wrong with me?
[21:08] Ichika
    I've been so weird ever since I met Ryo-san!
[21:11] Ichika
    Ugh...
[21:21] Ichika
    Just five more days...
SIGN    Ryo-san
[21:25] Ichika
    His timing is too on point.
[21:29] (Flashback) Rio
    Besides, this Valentine's Day
    is between you and my brother.
[21:33] (Flashback) Masuda
    Well, for Ryo, you might want to get
    something that's not chocolate.
[21:41] Ichika
    Hello?
[21:42] Ryo
    Ichika-san, good evening! It is I, Ryo!
[21:44] Ichika
    Yes, I'm aware of that.
[21:46] Ryo
    Well, I'm honored.
[21:48] Ryo
    Only five more days until Valentine's—
[21:50] Ichika
    Ryo-san.
[21:52] Ichika
    I'm going to head over there
    the morning of the 14th,
[21:55] Ichika
    so could you make some time for
    me before you head to work?
