Banri - Chocolate Date - Moon End

Chapter 6 - His Thoughts

With catalogs in his hands, Banri-kun nodded deeply. 

Banri: Okay... I've decided!

MC: Decided on what...? 

Banri: That's... Uh, MC-chan. Won't you spend some time with me for one more day? 

MC: Sure... Of course, I don't mind. 

(What is it...?) 

When Banri-kun became relieved, he clapped as if he had an idea next. 

Banri: It's just a thought, but are you okay wtih really sweet things?

MC: Eh? Yes...

Banri: Then, what kind of scents do you like? Also, what do you find especially cute? 

MC: Uh... 

Banri-kun asked me questions rapidly. After that, I answered his questions for a while... 

Banri: ...That's all of them. Then, please look forward to tomorrow, I'll be studying properly. 

(...Studying?) 

As he narrowed his eyes softly, he smiled meaningfully... 

Chapter 7 - Same Feelings

Then, the next day, "Love Day"... 

When I got dressed, I looked at the streets of Chocolute* outside the window... 

T/N: Rica's kingdom

-Flashback-

Banri: Then, please look forward to tomorrow, I'll be studying properly. 

-Flashback-

(Banri-kun mentioned that he would be studying, but what?)

Curious about what he said, I went to where Banri-kun was staying at. 

MC: Hello. Banri-kun, are you there? 

When I knocked on the door, Banri-kun came out looking completely prepared. 

Banri: Hello, MC-chan. There's a place that I want to go with you, so won't you come with me? 

When I nodded after he said that somewhat eagerly, Banri-kun held my hand. 

......

As the two of us walked in town while holding hands for a while, we arrived at a familiar place. 

(Huh? This place is...) 

Banri: We're here. 

When he stopped, we were at the general goods store with the animal chocolates that we went to yesterday. 

After opening the small door and going inside the store, Banri-kun spoke to an employee. 

Banri: I ordered something here. 

Shop Employee: Please wait for a sec. 

When the employee went to the back, they returned with a small box in hand. After accepting the small box, Banri-kun turned towards me. 

Banri: Here you go, MC-chan. 

MC: For me? Are you sure? 

Banri: Yes, it's a present for you after all. 

(A present...) 

MC: Ah, then...!

Banri: Yes. When we were hanging out yesterday together... I was choosing a present for you. 

MC: Banri-kun... 

-Flashback-

Banri: Love Day is said to be "a day when you convey your feelings with a gift" and that day just happens to be tomorrow.

-Flashback-

(Banri-kun... Could it be that...) 

My cheeks instantly became hot. Remembering how serious he looked yesterday made me feel emotional. 

MC: How nice... 

The small red box that he handed me had a pastel-colored ribbon on it and it was tied up like a flower. 

MC: Ah, looking at this ribbon closely, there are a lot of small animals on it. How cute. 

Banri: That's good. I thought you would find it cute since I think it's cute. But... 

He held the end of the ribbon with his fingers and picked it up... 

Banri: When you open this box, it'll become cuter. If you'd like, shall we go to the park and eat them together? 

As he happily smiled, I nodded and we left the shop... 

Last Chapter - Chocolate for You

When the two of us went to the town of Chocolute, we headed to the plaza in the middle of town. It was cold, but the sun was out and the wind wasn't blowing today. 

(Banri-kun, I wonder what he chose for me.) 

Filled with expectations, we sat down next to each other on a bench. At that moment... 

MC: ...

The next moment, when a breeze flew through the tree branches, my body shivered from the cold. 

Banri: ...Are you okay like this? 

MC: Ah... 

When the distance between us got smaller, Banri-kun held my shoulder. 

MC: T-Thank you... 

As his face was close... His fingers that reached out to me tickled my cheek. 

Banri: ...You've gotten cold. 

MC: But... Your hand is warm...

Banri: Really? 

When his eyes widened a little, he smiled softly. 

(Being like this warms up my heart...) 

Feeling a little embarrassed, when I curled up in his arm, Banri-kun's gentle whisper reached my ears. 

Banri: MC-chan, open it up. 

MC: ! That's right. 

I looked down at the small box in my hands. 

(My heart is racing... What could be inside?) 

With my heart going fast, I untied the ribbon and opened the box... 

MC: ! This is... Panda-chan? 

Inside the small box, it was tightly packed with some chocolates that were in the shape of Banri-kun's favorite character, Panda-chan. 

MC: How cute... 

Banri: ...Do you like it? 

When he asked that, he blushed a little... 

MC: Of course, thank you. But... They're too cute that it'd be such a waste to eat. 

When I looked at the Panda-chans inside the box, I suddenly became charmed by their cuteness. Then... 

Banri: Then, I'll feed them to you. 

MC: Eh? 

The next moment, he picked up a piece of chocolate with his long fingers and placed it on my lips. The heat in my cheeks rose... 

MC: Banri-kun... 

Banri: Won't you feed me one too? 

MC: O-Okay... 

Feeling perplexed, I picked up a small Panda-chan. 

MC: ...Here you go. 

Banri: Yes, thank you. Here you go too. 

As we slowly placed the chocolates in each other's mouths... When the chocolate reached the tip of my tongue and melted, a sweet happiness was spreading within my mouth. 

Banri: ...Yes, it's good. But, I understand what you meant. It's sad that it'll go away once you eat it and it makes me feel a little sorry for it. 

He said that as he looked inside the box that had less in it now. 

MC: Banri-kun, sometimes you would say cute more than a girl does. 

Banri: Really? It's sometimes hard to understand when a girl says cute... But, despite seeing all kinds of chocolates, I noticed that the chocolates we saw in the store made us the most excited. After I parted from you yesterday, I did all kinds of research and had this specially made. 

His breath that had the slight smell of sweet chocolate reached my ear. 

Banri: I thought that something that's like me would make you the happiest... 

MC: ... 

When I looked at this face with a ticklish feeling in my ear, he picked up a piece of chocolate and held it to the side of his face.

MC: Panda-chan and the many cute things in this town are nice, but... I think Banri-kun is the cutes-... I mean, the coolest. 

After I rephrased my words, Banri-kun placed the chocolate in my mouth... 

Banri: I wanted to convey my love to you on this day... 

As he slowly said that, his lips got closer to me.

Banri: I love you, MC-chan...

After saying that, he softly placed his lips on mine. As a happiness that was sweeter than the chocolate was spreading within my heart... I slowly closed my eyes...
