Chapter 1: There's No Way My Freeloader Is This Smart
1
āAmakusa-kun, I am sorry but, can you give me an explanation?ā
My consciousness got pulled back from my thought by the class rep (Glass beauty) voice.
āI donāt want to step in this private matter butā¦ā¦ā¦.your partner is that person so, I think nothing will calm down at this rateā
Just like what the class-rep said, everyone in the class was looking at me.
Yes, I am right now the target of an emotion similar to hostility by all the boys in the classā¦.no, the whole school.
āSo are you going out with President Kokubyakuin as expected?ā
The main reason why I am placed in this situation right now, is because of the actions of the student president whoās the rank 1 in the female popular ranking -Kokubyakuin Seira, , during the competition of the popular ranking and [Reject 5].
āNo, itās not like thatā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
Will this excuse really work? Thatās because an unbelievable event where that president confessed to me in front of all the students and hugged me on the spot.
āThen your real target is Chocolat-chan?ā
Whatās more, since I was entangled with the [Curse removal mission]; the situation got more annoying to a whole new level because Chocolat told me [I like you!] in the mess while I was being hugged by the president.
On a side-note.
Just now, the president purposely came to this classroom to land the final blow by causing a misunderstanding to everyone that we were in first names basis like [Kanade-san] and [Seira-san].
āHey hey, how about it Amakusa-kun?ā
*Gui* the class rep got closer. Instead of the sense of duty to settle this problem as the class rep, the glitter in her eyes simply looks like she was curious in thisā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.
āUuhā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
At that timing, I frowned my face because of a headache.
āWhatās wrong?ā
Th-thereās no time to explain!
I confirmed the choices that appeared in my mind again.
āChoose 1. Hug Chocolat
2. Hug Yukihira Furano
3. Hug Yuuouji Oukaā
There were 3 choices.
After clearing the <<Make every female who joined the competition to say [I like you]>> mission, I predicted that the choices would change but, I never imagined for this 3 choicesā¦ā¦ā¦.
However, the only difference is that there is just 3 different targets and isnāt the vulgar part just the same?
āGuhā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
The demanding headache turned stronger just when he was wasting time thinking. Kuhā¦ā¦..this isnāt good, I have to choose someone.
While ignoring those piercing sights with all my strength, I looked towards Yukihira at the window side.
She often looks expressionless but she was staring at me with eyes fill with difficulty.
Itās hard to say that sheās usually friendly with me but, she looks like sheās emitting a different type of spikey aura today for some reason.
Itās impossible too in normal circumstances too so, hugging her in this situation is just unthinkableā¦ā¦ā¦.no good, Yukihira is a no.
On the other side, as for Yuuoujiā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.her cheeks were slightly blushing and were looking down while acting fidgety.
It seems that it was embarrassing for her when I accidentally saw her panties during an accident in the competition but ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.i still canāt understand the standards for her shyness even though she showed me her belly button in her with that childish thought pattern.
It might be possible if itās the usual Yuuouji but, things wonāt end up as a joke if I hug her at that stateā¦ā¦.this side is no good too.
Meaning, the last oneā¦ā¦ā¦.
I looked towards Chocolat beside me.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
Over here, that usual smile that feels care-free did not exist.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.yes, Chocolat is acting weird today.
She came to class late and said [I am not hungry]. Thatās just plain impossible for the Food craving demon Chocolat.
But I have no time to pin down the reason for that. I brought my face closer to her and whispered with a volume to avoid the class rep to hear.
(Sorry Chocolat, I will hug you because a choice came out)
Chocolat didnāt give back any response.
Her eyes looked empty and I feel kind of worried about her but, I wonāt be about to look after her if I donāt do something about these choices first. I have to finish what I need to do.
First off, I need to avoid the getting the attentions from everyone. The problem is how and------
āChoose 1. Announce that you want to show your naked body 2. Reincarnateā
ā¦.Oi, what happen to number 3, whereās 3.
No matter how much I confirmed, only 2 choices exists in my head.
Thisā¦ā¦ā¦..just like what happened last time, is the change that occurred after a mission clear result in random things mixed inside? If thatās the case then, I wonāt be able to know if 2 or 3 choices will appear from now onā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
I donāt know if thatās a good or bad thing but, I have to choose one of those two now.
āT-this is bad everyone! Iā¦ā¦.i have an undeniable urge to become fully naked without any reason! Please look outside for a short while!!ā
My classmates looked towards the window all at once without any signs of unrestā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..itās sad that not one of them thought that this was a joke or lie but, I managed to make everyone look away.
Okay, Iāll take this chance to hug her and end this!
(Letās do this)
The choices disappeared the moment I lightly hugged Chocolat after whispering to her.
āFuuā¦ā¦.ā
The instant I exhaled in relief and thought of letting go,
āKanade-sanā¦ā¦ā¦errā¦ā¦.wellā¦ā¦..this is embarrassingā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..Huh?
Those lines Chocolat said made me froze my body.
During that time; my classmates looked back to us.
What they saw, was Chocolat looking down with her face blushing while I was hugging her.
āā¦ā¦ā¦..Choco-lat?ā
āKanade-sanā¦ā¦ā¦.Everyone is looking soā¦ā¦ā¦.if possibleā¦ā¦..can you let go of me?ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..What are you saying, nothing is entering my head.
āErrā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.i donāt want you to misunderstand this butā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.itās not like I donāt like Kanade-san doing this andā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦err, the problem is the placeā¦ā¦ā¦ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦Something is weird, something is definitely weird.
No, sheās been weird from just now but, no matter how much I think about it, this totally exceeds the level where sheās feeling sick.
Despite I was losing my composure, Chocolatās cheeks blushed harder before she opened her mouth.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..Doing this kind of things, when we alone togetherā¦ā¦will make me happyā
āāā!?āāā
The atmosphere in the class froze.
I donāt understand. I donāt understand this at all butā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦the possible response that might occur when they saw this situation through an objective view------
āāāAmakusaaaā¦ā¦ā¦āāā
āāāYouāre the worstā¦ā¦..āāā
Well yeahā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..the guys were looking at me with killing intent, the girls were making expressions of despise as if they were looking at garbage; were all directed at me.
āN-no, this is a misunderstandingā
Even though I said that; I have no idea whatās the misunderstanding at all. The moment the atmosphere of the classroom turned into an uproar,
āEveryone, please waitā
A clear and elegant voice echoed.
āHuh?ā
Everyone including me, looked towards the owner of that voice.
āKanade-san has done nothing wrongā
āCho-chocolat?ā
āI was somewhat troubled because of the place but, everyone is misunderstanding thisā
The contents of the words coming from the person that looks like Chocolat, did not enter my head at allā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..who is this?
āI do love Kanade-san and Kanade-san does dote on me but, itās something close to friendship and the unhealthy actions that everyone imagines does not existā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦the expression pupils turning into a dot would probably be used at a time like this I wonder.
[Chocolatā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..chan?][W-what is this, whatās going on?][How would I know]
The uproar turned louder in one go. Everyone has reach extreme discomposure from the atmosphere given out by Chocolat in her sudden change.
āKanade-san, is there something wrong?ā
Chocolat lightly tilted her head beside me and smiled.
āNo, what do you meanā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
The way she smile is similar or not to her carefree self but, it was peaceful, refined and even intelligence could be felt.
āIs there something on my face?ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦..nothing is there but, who are you?ā
āI am Chocolatā
āNonoā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦youāre more like, *Fuwaaa* like thatā¦ā¦ā¦...i also feel that you speak somewhat in hiragana tooā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Chocolat looked at my eyes and smiled again.
āThatās true; I think anyone would lose their composure if I suddenly talked this way. Okay then, I will explain in sequenceā
Blond hair emitting a magnificent glow, a face that looks like a small animal, and a compact figure.
The girl in front of me is definitely Chocolat no matter how much I look at her butā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.the atmosphere she was giving off was completely from another person.
āItās something that occurred in the morning but, I woke up on the floor. Judging by that situation, it seems that I fell off the bed when I was sleepingā
She was still sleeping on top of her bed when I tried to wake her up so, this is after that. Well, itās probably not weird for Chocolat to fall off her bed because of her monstrous urge to sleep.
āIt seems that I hit my head when I fell and I gotten a serious headache from the impact. However, itās not that serious so far to give me difficulties for my actions so I came straight to school butā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦my situation did not get any better at all. Forget that, my consciousness were half-hazy and it even influenced to other body parts tooā
Her face turning red and saying [I am not hungry] is because of that. But at that time, it feels kind of like the usual Chocolat thoughā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
āThinking back, that was probably a sign before I turned back to my original self. However, that level did not regained back my memories andā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦I think it lacked a decisive triggerā
āTrigger?ā
At that moment, Chocolatās face blushed again before she lightly nodded.
āThatās rightā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦The momentā¦ā¦ā¦errā¦ā¦Kanade-san hugged me, I felt my body lighted up and electricity ran through my headā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.i guess this is call shock therapyā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦by the time I came to, my memories are backā
āYour memoriesā¦ā¦ā¦are back?ā
āYesā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Now that I think about it, Chocolat told me that she lost her memories. Because of that, she does not have any information related to the absolute choice and that made me anxious butā¦ā¦ā¦
āKanade-san, I am really sorry that I showed you my pathetic self until now. I will now redeem myself from now on so, please forgive me for my insolence behavior until now.
She lowered her head to show respect.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..wait wait wait. The Chocolat until now wasnāt Chocolat and the Chocolat in front of me now is the real one?
Even if you suddenly tell me that, how can I just go āOh I seeā and agree with it.
Chocolat then looked back at the classmates.
āEveryone might be surprised by the sudden events but, this is my real self. Please forgive me for those over-friendly words I made a few days ago. Also, if possible, please get with me along from now on tooā
Everyone froze with a blank expression when she showed a smile at them at the end. Thatās probably normal; anyone who could accept this talk immediately is probably the weird ones.
Right when the class was covered with a weird silence, Yukihira walked over to us.
āā¦ā¦ā¦.Amakusa-kun, can I take this as a new situation play?ā
āNo no noā¦ā¦ā¦..honestly, I donāt understand the situation at allā
āThatās the setting option too right?ā
āNo thatās not it. Why are you saying it like this is a sex shopā
āDear customer, an extension will require additional feesā
āJust who are you!ā
āOur shopās motto is [Buy love with money]ā
āLike I said, just who are you!ā
āI am sorry, can the human garbage please keep quiet for a whileā
āSo harsh!?ā
I wonder whyā¦ā¦ā¦.Yukihira is scattering a stronger displeased aura compared to just now.
āYukihiraā¦ā¦..are, you angry?ā
āAngry? That emotion does not exist in me, whoās known as the [Grand devil with the clear bright smile]ā
āIāve never heard of that at all before thoughā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
āOh my, I did give you a smile when you were naked and asked me [Want to dance] last timeā
āDonāt make such a crazy lie!ā
āI am sorry. It should be [Want to eat live Shirauo[1]] while you were nakedā
āThat invitation is too aggressive!ā
āThe talk got diverted a little but, I donāt have any negative emotions like anger, sadness or hatred. What I have are only pure thoughts that glow bright. What awaits there are unlimited fortune, eternal love and the endless cycle of life and deathā
āThat just sounds fishy OI!ā
āWell, saying that I have no negative emotions at all is just saying too much. Iāll be polite; there are only 3 minus emotions in meā
ā3?ā
āYes, I only have [Crude, vulgar and indistinct] in my heart ever since I am bornā
āYouāre the worst!ā
āAmakusa-kun, itās your bad habit to immediately shout when youāre excitedā
āJust who do you think made me like that!ā
āSee, youāre angry again. Why donāt you go and suck on some cow tits?ā
āWhy canāt you just tell me to drink milk like normal!ā
āOh my, milk does not have any effects to cure angry on the spot you knowā
āYou even answeredā
āThe actions of sucking a cowās tits, is Amakusa-kunās unchangeable way of comfortā
āThereās a limit for being a pervert!ā
No goodā¦ā¦ā¦..no matter how many times goes, I could no longer handle it anymore. I got fed up and looked back at Chocolat.
Chocolat, who has been quietly looking at our conversation, showed a face of thinking about something before nodding in understanding.
āThe memories of both of your relationship are still in my head but, I feel a little troubled after seeing the real thing. i see, this is how you two display your affections to each otherā
āNo, by affection, you------ā
āA-affections!?ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦..Hn? I think I heard an oddly cute voice coming from behindā¦ā¦ā¦.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Yukihira, was that your voice?ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦..what are you talking about?ā
When I turned behind; the usual expressionless Yukihira was there.
āNo, the voice just now wasā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Yukihira was the only girl at that direction butā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.leaving that aside, Please donāt look at me with those [Spoiled eyes which looks like a zombiefied corpse after being abandoned in Fukai because you got chocked to death by a tofu stuck in your throat, while imaging a witch coupling a <<Rotten Tai[2]Ā x spoiled mackerel>> together]ā
āHow many rotten parts are there!ā
The contents were the usual unknown jokes but, for some reason, is it my imagination that I felt Yukihiraās voice was excited?
āHn? You, isnāt your face is a little red?ā
āUh!?ā
Yukihiraās expression looked shocked for an instant and immediately, waves of killing intent were inside her eyes.
Instantly; Yukihira made a scissor shape with her first and thrust those 2 fingers straight at my eyeballs.
This girl-----is trying to break them.
I have to dodge! Was what I thought but, my body wonāt react to that thought. Itās that pattern where my thoughts is only fast and my surrounding movements were in slow motion, like those scenes that often appear in Mangas.
N-no good! I have to close my eyes at least------
āUuā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.Ah-re?ā
I timidly opened my eyes because the attacking impact did not come. Yukihiraās fingers stopped right before it reached my eyeballs.
āā¦ā¦ā¦.Yukihira?ā
Yukihira continued staying frozen but after a few seconds, she made a light sigh before lowering her hand. Chocolat looked lonely and mumbled beside me when I was tilting my head.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Iāll be goingā
āAh, oi, Yukihiraā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Well, Yukihiraās words being weird are normal in a certain way but, this is a little too incomprehensible. Chocolat looked lonely and mumbled beside me when I was tilting my head.
āI am envious ofā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.Kanade-sanās relationship with Furano-sanā
āHuh? Envious? Of that?ā
Potent poison, the worst of jokes, and flying absurd violence to finish things off. I think there isnāt any factor that looks envious.
āYes, Kanade-san looked really energetic when you are talking with Furano-sanā
No, I am just tried handling herā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
āI, who only has the ability to serve with my whole heart, cannot communicate with Kanade-san that openlyā
Well thatās obvious. Sheās probably the only high school female to reply with those jokes, even if you look all over Japan.
āThatās why, after seeing that exchange in front of meā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Chocolat shyly moved her legs while looking down with blushing cheeks.
āWhatās wrongā
She mumbled with a disappearing voice.
āErhmā¦.i amā¦ā¦.a little jealousā
ā¦ā¦..no seriously, who is this.
2
Inside the Amakusa family living room, around the time 7pm.
āAre you seriousā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
I let out a voice of admiration while looking at the food spread out on the table in front of me.
A steak dripping with meat juice and rich sauce, capriccio with assorted fishes, pasta into something three-dimensional way as an arrangement, white stew giving out steam at the right temperature, and a fine colorful salad. All of it is a little too luxuries for a normal dinner.
I wasnāt the one that made these dishes.
āThis is the first time cooking for Kanade-san soā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..i might have went too farā
Even though approximately half a day passed since the impactful change but, Chocolat was still doing things right.
She did not sleep in class and was taking down notes normally; she would shock the teacher by giving an accurate answer when she was questions; during break time too, our classmates showered her with questions and she replied them logically, making them perplexed.
A never ending smile and reserved gracefulness, but her splendid behavior would not make anyone feel any distance to her; sheās exactly the manifestation of everyone maleās convenient imaginations.
When will I wake up? was what I felt when I looked at her as if I was watching a dream but, even if I pinched or hit my cheeks, there was no signs of waking up; bringing us to this point.
āNoā¦ā¦this isā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
Chocolat who saw me in lost in words after seeing the food, placed her hands inside her chest pocket and took out a bundle of money.
āAh, of course, I worked out the necessary cost for it from here so; it will not influence the familyās finances at allā
No, I am not worried about thatā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.even though I saw her actually do the cooking, it was still hard to believe that Chocolat was the one that made these.
āOkay, please eat before it gets coldā
āY-yeahā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
I extend my hands to the food while still unable to accept the scene in front of me.
āā¦ā¦ā¦.deliciousā
No, itās already a known fact that it wonāt taste bad by its appearance but, the taste completely exceeds my expectations.
āThis level is enough to ask for moneyā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
I have confidence that I have some good cooking skills but, the dishes lined up in front of me, has a quality of a different class.
Chocolat joined her hands in front of her chest and smiled.
āI am happy that Kanade-kun likes itā
āUuā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
I felt somehow very embarrassing so, I urged Chocolat to eat to play it off.
āCh-chocolat, you eat tooā
āNo, I will eat the remaining after Kanade-san is satisfiedā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..i could not believe my ears.
Even if she gained her memories, I never would have imagined that the Food craving demon would say those wordsā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..
āN-no, I donāt like that so, letās eat togetherā
āI understand, if Kanade-san says so thenā
Chocolat distributed each dish into a small plate and moved it into her mouth.
Because her actions were so refined; it was completely different from her previous way of eating which was perfect for the sound *Paku**Paku**Musha**Musha*.
My eyes were fixed on her because her beauty was enough to be art.
Having noticed that, Chocolat stopped moving and opened her mouth apologetically.
āKanade-san, errrā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..itās embarrassing when you look at me eatingā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
āSo-Sorryā
I quickly looked away and choose a dish.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
Chocolat and I moved our respective chopsticks in silenceā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.whatās with this atmosphere.
āL-letās on the TVā
Unable to bear the silence, I extend my hands to the remote control.
āHnā¦.Hmuuā¦ā¦Ahā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
A passionate kiss scene was on. The couple hugging wildly then fell onto the bed like that.
āOi oi, why is this being shown during 7------uuā
Right when I changed the channel, I accidentally met with Chocolatās eyes which were staring at me. Her cheeks were slightly blushing.
āAh, So-sorry. I was the one that told you not to look at me just now and yetā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
āN-no, I donāt mindā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
āā¦..ā
āā¦..ā
We immediately looked away and kept quietā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..seriously, whatās wrong with this atmosphere!
āI am done eatingā
After a few minutes later, Chocolat quickly announced that she was done eating.
āEh, is that enough?ā
āYes, this is enoughā
Not much was diminished from the dishes on the table, and it felt as if only a pinch of it was gone. Are you seriousā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦however, even without comparing to the old Chocolat, I think her food intake is too little compared to a normal girl.
āHey, you donāt have to be so reserved you knowā
āThank you for your concern. But, servants of god have extremely good energy ratio so, we donāt need to take in nutrients from food that muchā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.eh?ā
āI enjoy the activity called eating so; I would eat a bento with the girls in school but, judging by the point of maintaining my life; taking in the amount of 1 meal for several days, would be enough. Thatās why, I am already fullā
āā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
āErrā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Kanade-san, is there something wrong?ā
I silently stared at Chocolatās stomach when I heard that impactful truth.
If that story was true then, what happen to the enormous amount of food that disappeared in there.
Having guessed my question, Chocolat placed both her hands on her blushing cheeks.
āErrā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦I am sorry. Thereās something wrong with the me until yesterday. Even though I am a girl, it really is shameful that I devoured things like thatā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
āNo well, leaving that aside. If Chocolat is not eating anymore thenā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
On the table, there is at the very least an estimate of 5 people worth of food. I thought that she considered herself when she cooked.
āAll of this is my portion huhā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
āI am sorry, I guess itās too muchā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
*Shyun* Chocolat became depressed.
āErrr, there are things to preserve them and disposing them is also an option-----ā
āNo, I will eat everythingā
āKanade-sanā
I have a small appetite for a male but, thereās no way I simply could leave any food that a girl made for me.
I made up my mind and continued eating.
Un, itās delicious like I thought. The taste is first class so, that point is a life-saver.
āā¦ā¦Hn? Whatās wrong?ā
After a while, I noticed something weird about Chocolat. She was acting shy and was trying to say something.
āErrā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦I caused a problem to Kanade-san because of my clumsiness so, I will help you eatā
āHelp?ā
āErrā¦ā¦.meaningā¦ā¦.ā
While hesitating to say it, she took a piece of the steak with her chopsticks and moved it to my mouth.
āā¦ā¦ā¦.like thisā
Oi, doesnāt this meanā¦ā¦ā¦.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ahhnā
My thoughts froze when I heard the words that came out from Chocolatās mouth without any hesitation.
āN-no, this is a littleā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
Chocolatās eyes looked slightly wet when I respond to her by bending behind in reflex.
āā¦ā¦ā¦.was I being an annoyanceā
āUuā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦That expression is cheating.
āI-I get it, go aheadā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
One complete turn; Chocolat nodded happily.
āOkay, ahhnā
The steak brought out to me, entered my mouth while I felt perplex.
āUnā¦ā¦deliciousā
After slowly biting it down, I gave out my honest opinion.
But, Chocolat looked away for some reason.
āWhatās wrong?ā
āErrā¦ā¦ā¦itās more embarrassingā¦ā¦.than I thoughtā
ā¦ā¦ā¦.whatās with that.
āā¦ā¦..I-I see. It canāt be helped if itās embarrassingā
āI am sorry, any furtherā¦ā¦is justā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
āI-Iāll eat the restā
āY-yesā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Like I said, what is with this atmosphere, seriouslyā¦ā¦ā¦..
Within the awkward silence which occurred who knows how many times already today; I quietly moved my chopsticks.
āUpuuuā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
After 1 hour later, I finished eating all the food.
āI- I am done eatingā
āNo, OsomatsudeshitaāĀ [3]
After smiling happily, Chocolat lowered her head politely.
āI really is delicious and I am not trying to flatter youā¦ā¦ā¦okay thenā
*Pan**Pan* I stood up while patting my bulging stomach.
āKanade-san, whatās wrong?ā
āWhatās wrong? I am just going to clean the dishesā
āIf thatās the case then I will do it, you can go and relaxā
āNo no, you cooked so let me do this at leastā
āNo, I am a freeloader so, let me do itā
With house chores being my daily routine, doing nothing will make me feel uncomfortable but, it seems that Chocolat wonāt budge.
āWell, if you are saying that much then, I guess Iāll ask you to do itā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦I wonder what I should doā
āAh, how about taking a bath? I turned on the hot water switch just now when I was cleaning just now so I think itās about time for it to fill upā
Just when I wondered why she left her seat when I was eating; she even did something like that too huh.
āI will now prepare a change of clothes for youā
āAh, no, you donāt have to go that farā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
I tried to stop her but she ran away.
After a few minutes, Chocolat came back to hand me a set of clothes with a bath towel.
āHere you goā
āA-aah, thank youā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
I could not hide my lack of composure because of her attentive care.
āKanade-san, whatās wrong?ā
āAah, noā¦ā¦ā¦nothingā
While standing still on place, Chocolat starred at me who was not heading towards bathroom and looked as if she misunderstood something.
āKanade-sanā¦ā¦..errā¦ā¦ā¦.can you let me prepare my heart first?ā
āHuh?ā
āKanade-san look is showingā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.[come in together and wash my back] right?ā
āNo, thatās wrong butā¦ā¦..ā
I immediately denied that but, Chocolat, who entered her weird delusion mode, did not hear me.
āErrā¦ā¦..i can try hard for the back butā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦I will be thankful if I donāt have to wash your butt too because I canāt see from the embarrassmentā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
āLike I said, youāre wrong! I didnāt think of wanting you to wash my butt!ā
āUuuā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..errā¦ā¦..for the front, itās impossible no matter how hard I tryā
āWhat kind Ero manga is this!ā
I left Chocolat, whose cheeks were blushing really heard and ran towards the bathroom.
āKanade-san, how was the temperature??ā
Right when she was done washing the dishes; Chocolat wearing an apron came to me when I exited the bathroom and returned to the living room while drying my hair with a towel.
āAah, itās just rightā
āIs that so. Iām gladā
This refined smileā¦ā¦ā¦even though she showed it to me many times already today, the odd feeling lighten up even by a little.
āChocolat, can I have a moment?ā
āYes, is something wrong?ā
Nothing will be fixed if I keep enjoying this changed situation. I have to have a good talk with Chocolat.
I made her to sit on the sofa, and after preparing 2 people worth of juice from the fridge, I sat opposite her.
āI was shocked the whole day and could did not have the chance to get a good talk but, I want to have a clear grasp of your condition now.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦thatās true. I also prioritized my feelings to serve Kanade-san and I couldnāt give you a detail explanationā
After introducing that, Chocolat started talking about herself.
āWe, just like the name Godās servant, exist only to execute missions given by Godā
The story Chocolat talked about, was the full information I already got from the flashy god and it would feel like this if it went down chronologically.
1. Chocolat (The working version) served God everyday energetically.
2. She lost her memories at a certain point. She could not remember how it happened. As a side-effect, her personality even changed and she turned to the useless version.
3. She kept playing around and continued living a lazy life.
4. The manual given to Chocolat by God. It seems that she was suppose to go to A. Magusa .Ganadouru(Itās someone living in another world and is totally unrelated to me but, because of an annoyance, he has another name called Amakusa Kanade). Most likely at the same period, there was another manual sent to an excellent servant too who was suppose to come to me.
5. God, was scolded [You thieving cat!] and shut herself in while pregnant.
6. The Flashy God took on the later jobs of the God that was shut indoors.
7. Chocolat, the excellent servant, was dispatched to many worlds but, she was sent to me by some kind of mistake.
8. I spent my days with the rotten NEET Chocolat.
9. She regained her memories this morning <-- Right now over here.
How Chocolat lost her memories and, the reason of the switch, there were several points I was curious about but, the biggest reason that caused this problem to become annoying is the God that shut herself in.
Sheās the one that knows the situation but, because she shut herself in with a soap-opera-like reason, I canāt grasp the whole situation at all and has no choice but to clear missions I am told to do------No, thatās wrong.
If I am right, the flashy God said that even the shut-in God does not have any details of the curse and someone was making me do it; that should be it.
If thatās the case, then that [Someone] is the real culprit that sent those Absolute choices to my head to make me do those absurd and messed up actions.
Which means that, there is a [3rd God] that I donāt know off.
Incidentally; judging by the story just now, Chocolat is only acquainted with the shut-in God and I probably canāt expect any information related to the [3rd God] from her.
āErrā¦ā¦ā¦Kanade-sanā
I was pulled back from my thoughts when I heard Chocolatās hesitating voice.
āY-yeah, whatās wrong?ā
āI can only look after Kanade-san butā¦ā¦ā¦.is it okay if I stay by your side from now on?ā
She looked up at me, and was making an uneasy expression. It seems that, she was fretting over the fact that she could not provide any useful information to me.
āAs I've said from before in the classroom, I will use all my strength to repay back my rudeness I caused until nowā
āNo, you donāt really have to use all your strength you know. I just can't ask you to leave after all this timeā
āR-reallyā
The moment she heard my words, Chocolatās expression flipped from her clouded look which she was showing from earlier, to a smile that looks like a flower.
āAre you really that happy?ā
āYes, it is my pleasure to serve Kanade-sanā
Even though her personality changed, her stance towards me is unmoving huh.
However, isnāt this just too unnatural? When she was in her bouncy condition, I went āWell sheās like thatā and did not think too deeply into it, but just why would this serious Chocolat like me without any clear reason? That was the question that came up.
Right when I was thinking, Chocolat *Suu* stood up.
āKanade-san, can I sit beside you?ā
āEh, yeah, I donāt mindā
I replied that and she quietly walked to me before sitting right beside me.
āPardon meā
āA-aahā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
I get oddly nervous when this Chocolat come beside meā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..rather, I might have said I donāt mind but, isnāt this just too close?
Well you know, her arms and thighs are definitely touching meā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
And Chocolat being Chocolat; sheās embarrassed even though she was the one that chose to be so close.
As a result; both of us were stuck in silence.
āā¦.ā¦.ā¦ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Seriously, how many times does this makeā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦someone please do something about this weird atmosphereā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
āā¦ā¦ā¦..errr, Kanade-san, this might be a problematic talk but, can you listen to me?ā
After a few seconds, Chocolat opened her mouth hesitantly. If sheās able to help us escape from this awkward situation then I donāt mind no matter what topic it may be.
āWhatās wrong?ā
āI love youā
āBuPuuu!ā
I spit out the juice stuffed in my mouth by reflex.
āOh my, this is a problemā
Chocolat did not show any behavior of disgust and used her finger to wipe the drools around my mouth.
āN-no, itās okay, Iāll do it by myself. Leaving that asideā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.what did you just say?ā
āNo way, saying it again is embarrassing butā¦ā¦ā¦..i love youā
āL-love, hey youā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
Even though itās something she said many times already, the destructive power is incomparable if Chocolat says those words directly to me in this situation.
āErrā¦ā¦ā¦what does Kanade-sanā¦ā¦think of me?ā
āUuā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
Chocolat brought her face closer and looked up at me.
āN-no, even if you ask me suddenly like thatā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦wait, whatās wrong?ā
The moment I pulled my body back by reflex, Chocolat suddenly changed.
āKanade-sanā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.you want to cure the Absolute Choice right?ā
Light immediately disappeared from her eyes and turned into empty eyes.
āHuh? Well, thatās obvious but, why that sudden----ā
āThen please obey meā
āWhat are you saying all of a suddenā¦ā¦Oowah!ā
Both my shoulders were suddenly grabbed and I was pushed down onto the sofa.
āChocolatā¦..what are youā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
My head can't keep up with the sudden developments. I tried to get her away for now but, Chocolatās strength was oddly too much and I could not resist.
Chocolat leaned onto me while looking up at me and directed me with those empty eyes.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦can I please kiss you?ā
āWhaā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
Without giving any chance to get surprised; she brought her face closer.
āuuā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Looking at her again, her appearance is so cute that itās just plain cheating. Whatās more, her blushing face and empty expression bring out an unbalance factor, causing an additional odd sexiness.
Most likely; the Chocolat now wonāt hate me no matter what I do. Even if I kiss her like how she wants ā¦ā¦ā¦..and even if I take a few steps further.
Those delusions were giving off an irresistible charm.
Butā¦ā¦ā¦..i mustnāt.
Chocolat could not wait any longer and brought her lips to the touching zone.
āIf Kanade-san wonāt do it then, I will-----ā
āWait a sec!ā
āKyaa!ā
I used all my strength and raised my body. Chocolat, who was horse riding me, fell off the sofa.
āHaaaā¦ā¦ā¦.Haaā¦ā¦..ā
Kuhā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.i didnāt want to reject her this far but, our lips will definitely overlap if it continued on.
I extended my hands to Chocolat since I was the one who first stood up.
āA-are you okay, Choco----ā
Chocolat woke up and hugged me as hard as she could.
āUoou!ā
Her strength is tremendous as usual, and I got pushed backwards because I failed to hold my ground.
āOuch!ā
With the momentum of being thrown, my back slammed onto the kitchen cabinet.
Chocolat go of her hands around my neck and pushed my shoulders to the kitchen cabinet.
āLetāsā¦ā¦.kiss. Donāt you want toā¦ā¦..make the Absolute choice disappear?ā
Kissing will make the Absolute choice to disappear? Whatās going on? No, now isnāt the time to be thinking that!
āCh-Chocolat, anyway, letās calm downā
Weirdā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦This Chocolat is weird no matter how much I think about it. Just what happened to her?
āAre you really that reluctantā¦ā¦..to kiss meā
No good, her eyes are still empty and she isnāt in a condition where I can talk to her.
āKanade-sanā¦ā¦ā¦ā
Chocolat brought her lips closer again. Thi-this is bad. Both my shoulders were restrained and I cannot get off her grasp.
āS-stop!ā
The moment the back of my head slammed the kitchen cabinet after I shouted------
āUuu!ā
Something fell off the shelf and hit Chocolatās head.
āUuuā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
Maybe the spot was bad; Chocolat wobbled, and fell onto her butt.
I confirmed the object that fell to the floor.
This isā¦ā¦ā¦a cookie container.
Chocolat pressed her head and stood up beside me.
Kuhā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..what should I do. I have to do something or the same thing will occur again. I retreat backwards will staying cautious to Chocolat.
However, Chocolat stood up and looked at me with a surprised look.
Itās decreasing. The breakfast lined up on the table was slowly decreasing as I watch itā
āHey, Choco-----ā
āWraht ish it, Kanade-faanā
Chocolat, who raised her face, looked like a hamster with a stuffed mouth.
āNoā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..i guess Iāll leave it after the mealā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
ā? Twehn Iāll do thatā
Chocolat said something mysterious before returning back to her meal.
I looked at her with the feelings of unable to say anything.
And after a few minutes, Chocolat was half-way done eating and took a moment to rest, before wiping her mouth in satisfaction.
āFuhaah. It feels like I didnāt eat for 1 yearā
āā¦ā¦ā¦.itās definitely your imagination so donāt worryā
Sheās backā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Chocolat got hit on the head by a cookie container and is completely back to normalā
āI wonāt be able to hold back if I see all these delicious food in the morningā
After saying a very abstracted comment, she once again stuffed herself with the food; there was no trace of that graceful figure from yesterday at allā¦ā¦ā¦of course, that goes for that rampage too.
āKanade-san, why are you making such a difficult face?ā
āAah, well thereās something in my mindā¦ā¦ā¦..but, arenāt you eating too much?ā
The amount of side-dishes was normal (itās still 3 times more than what a normal person could handle though) but, the number of time she asked for a refill reached a new record of 2 cups more compared to the normal amount until now.
āFufu, thatās not trueā
Chocolat stopped her chopsticks and walked over to me. She then showed her stomach in a somewhat skilled manner.
*GuGyuuuuu*
āItās like thisā
āWhat kind of stomach is this!ā
Impossibleā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.even though she said that her stomach would get full after a bit yesterdayā¦ā¦ā¦.does her stomach capacity change depending on her memories?
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.hey, Are you really sure that you canāt remember anything from yesterday?ā
āYesterday?................i remember waking up and feeling something hitting my head but, did something happen after that?ā
Sheās purposely acting like a foolā¦ā¦ā¦.no way, especially for this Chocolat.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦well, itās okay I guessā
I was curious about many things but------
āHamuā¦ā¦..hamuā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
If I see her eating that happily then, I donāt feeling like caring about the even that happened yesterday.
āHn? Is there something on my face?ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..well, there are many rice stuck aroundā
āOooh, now thatās a wasteā
Chocolat picked off one rice at a time and shoved it into her mouth. I think her behavior of a girl is a problem but, she it seems that she doesnāt really care about it. Itās a great difference compared to herself from yesterday who gets embarrassed when sheās being looked at while sheās eating. After this too, she gulped down the rice with incredible energy.
And, after a few minutes.
āI am doneee eatingā
āTo think that you reached a record of 5 cupsā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
The refrigerator I stocked up with a great amount of ingredients all disappearedā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..The moment Chocolat stood up energetically while I looked tired.
*thud*.
āAhā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Chocolat quickly picked up something that fell onto the chair from the back of her pajamas.
āYou, thatāsā¦ā¦ā¦ā
āTh-thereās nothingā
Sheās clearly avoiding looking at me.
āLet me take a lookā
If my eyes are correctā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
āAah, Kanade-san, you donāt have to be so forcefulā
āBring it hereā
I forcefully took away the object she quickly tried to put behind in her back.
āLike I thoughtā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
This is the box of high-grade sweet bean jellyĀ [4]Ā from the Toraneko shop.
āThereās one left hereā¦ā¦ā¦..huhā
There were definitely 2 of them inside this, meaning that half of it decreased.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦I told you never to eat this rightā
Itās a prized product only prepared for special customers.
āWh-who knows, I have no memories of yesterday so I donāt knowā
āI didnāt say yesterday right?ā
āErrā¦ā¦ā¦.itās that; my memories are cloudy so I donāt remember clearlyā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
Itās rare to find a person this bad at lyingā¦ā¦..however, just when I thought It wasnāt enough when I told her not to eat this; I even changed the placement for it so, just did she manage to find it.
āChocolatā¦ā¦.i wonāt get angry so tell me the truthā
āR-really?ā
āYeahā
Itās basically confessing her mistake at the point when her eyes glowed but, I stopped myself from retorting that and waited for her response.
āActually. When Kanade-san was making breakfast, another delicious smell flowed from another placeā¦ā¦ā¦ā
She sniffed out the smell of the wrapped sweet bean jelly in the furthest back of the drawerā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..what kind of nose do you have.
āI then found the sweet bean jelly when I opened the drawerā
āā¦ā¦ā¦..And?
*Girori* I glared at her.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦I immediately put it backā
ā¦ā¦Houu, even though an absolute proof was in front of me, sheās still trying to act innocent huh.
āI see, I understand now. Then, how would you explain this behind you?ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦E-eerr, right after that, my back felt extremely itchy andā¦ā¦ā¦.i made a mistake by thinking it was a backscratcher and used it insteadā
āā¦ā¦ā¦.i see, I see. It canāt be helped if you mistaken this for a backscratcher right. But, I wonder why 1 is missing. It really is a mysteryā
āUuā¦ā¦ā¦..Tha-thatāsā¦ā¦r-right. I-itās bacteria. A huge amount of bacteria appeared and decomposed itā
āOh I see oh I see, itās bacteria huh. I didnāt know that thereās a type of bacteria that can decompose several sweet bean jelly together with its packaging. Un un, Chocolat is so smartā
āEheheā
Sheās seriously happyā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Iāve never seen an idiot like this before.
āBy the Chocolat, this is a different talk but, how does the sweet bean jelly taste like?ā
āIt was very deliciousā
āSo you did eat it!ā
*Bam* I slammed the table with my fist.
āHuhā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..Th-that was a bluff. I got tricked by a seriously bad bluffā
I got kind of pissed because she acted as if she was the victim and lightly pinched her cheeks.
āSo this is the mouth that ate someoneās food and still lies huhā
āB-because, it looked so deliciousā
āYou; do you put anything in your mouth as long as it looks deliciousā
āThwad is wrighdā
Is that soā¦ā¦ā¦.
āā¦ā¦..looks like you have quite a thick nerveā
āEfuefueā
āNo, I am not praising you! What kind of brain do you have!ā
I let go from pinching her cheeks and glared at her again.
āI am sorryā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
*Shuun* Chocolat looked depressed.
Seriously, how stubborn are you when it comes to foodā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦then suddenly, I remembered something and wanted to confirm something Chocolat said yesterday.
āHey, Godās servant doesnāt have to eat so much because the energy efficiency is good right?ā
ā? What are you saying Kanade-san, I donāt understand youā
No, you should be able toā¦ā¦ā¦.
āI heard this from your mouth that you could survive for several days by eating onceā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
āAah, itās about that. I donāt have to eat if itās just surviving but, I will still get hungryā
āBut, you got full after eating just a bitā
āOthers is others, we are weā
āThis isnāt from others! Itās from you!ā
āWell, leaving aside that stomach languageā
āThereās no such thing in Japanese! Isnāt it just because of your stomach!ā
āKande-san, the reason why I eat many foods is becauseā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Without caring about my retort, Chocolat continued her words in her pace and showed a smile after looking back at me.
āI feel very happy if I eat delicious foodā
āUuā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Just like what she said, that smile looks really satisfied.
I somehow feel like an idiot for shouting at her.
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦this side suits youā
I leaked out unintentionally.
The smile of this leisure Chocolat is more charming than the smile Chocolat showed yesterday.
āI donāt hateā¦ā¦looking at you eat too anywayā
I mumbled quietly to avoid letting her hear me.
āOkay Chocolat, we should get going-----ā
After changing my clothes and checking my appearance, I returned back to the living room to find a unbelievable scene.
āHamuā¦ā¦ā¦hamuā¦ā¦ā¦ā
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦by the way Chocolat-kunā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.what are you doing right now?ā
āFue?ā
No matter how much I stare at her, the scene in front of me wouldnāt change. Chocolat was there stuffing the remaining Toraneko sweet bean jelly into her mouth.
āFufuā¦ā¦ā¦ufufuā¦ā¦ā¦.ā
I got closer to Chocolat while making a creepy voice and grinded her head with my clenched fist.
āO-ouchā
Chocolat had teary eyes.
āOkay, I wonder what kind of wonderful excuse you will give me this timeā
This is a crime with no excuse acceptable. I will not forgive her even if she give me whatever arguments she has this time. I will have to punish her by reducing her food for a period of one week which cannot compare to a pay cut.
However, Chocolatās next words froze me.
āB-because, Kanade-san that this side suits me betterā
ā¦ā¦ā¦..Huh?
āY-you said that just now with a soft voiceā
āIdiā¦ā¦..you, wh-why did you hear it!?ā
Sh-she heard that mumble? My face temperature jumped up instantly.
āAfter that, you said that you liked watching me eat foodā
āWhaā¦ā¦ā¦..ā
Sh-she heard that too!?
āSo, I thought it was okay to eat it andā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦Err, Kanade-san, why is your face red?ā
āS-shut up! Letās get to school already!ā
āAh, wait for a bit. I am almost done eating----ā
āIāll eat it so give it to me!ā
āAaah, what a harsh starvation tacticā
I snatched the sweet bean jelly away from Chocolat and moved it to my mouth.
āSweetā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā
Maybe my taste-buds turned weird because I lost my composure; the high-grade sweet bean jelly which are praised to have a delicate taste, only felt like a black cluster of sweetness.
