Chapter 542: Valentine's Day

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

Seiji arrived at Natsuya's residence and met with her to explain the incident that befell Kazufuru .

"This is the item I retrieved after dispelling the curse... more accurately speaking, Yomi's power helped to forcefully restore this item . " Seiji placed the green crystal on the table .

It was mostly thanks to the female spirit Yomi that he had been able to dispel the curse and successfully obtain this crystal .

"I suspect that this crystal has to do with the 'Messengers' . This is highly likely to be one of their new 'products' after producing the 'Bliss' drug," Seiji stated seriously .

Natsuya carefully looked over the green crystal .

"I can't tell anything about it . It will have to undergo an analysis . "

"Will Ooike-kun get involved in this again?"

"After the analysis is complete, I'll see what things are like before deciding whether or not to report about this to my family . "

Seiji nodded .

"The person who gave this item to Ooike-san said that he needed Ooike-san to 'test out' this product for him . In that case, he's likely to come looking for Ooike-san again to confirm the results . "

"I'll send someone to watch over Ooike-kun in a bit . "

"Ooike-san's memories are the best clue, but it's unlikely for them to recover . Besides, even if he does recover his memories, it's questionable whether that man was using his real appearance . "

"Yeah..."

Both Seiji and Natsuya fell silent .

Seiji felt that there was nothing more to say, so he said goodbye and left .

Natsuya sat there blankly for quite a while after sending him off .

Their discussion just now was about an important matter . However, what she kept thinking about more than that when faced with him was the matter of tomorrow .

When she thought about what she wanted to do, the student council president's heartbeat increased and her face flushed slightly red .

"I shouldn't do such a thing... but what Houjou-san said is correct as well..."

Her own feelings clashed with her maid's advice, causing her inner turmoil .

To do, or not to do? This important question troubled her for the entire night .

Friday, Valentine's Day .

Not long after Seiji woke up, he received his first batch of chocolate .

"Brother... for you . " Shika's face was faintly red as she handed him an exquisite heart-shaped box with both her hands .

This was quite an impactful scene that had Seiji standing still in surprise for quite a while .

He accepted the box of chocolates and spoke with sincerity, "Thank you... I shall enjoy them . "

Shika's face became even redder upon hearing this . She averted her gaze .

'My first box of chocolates from my adopted younger sister . Wonderful!' Seiji felt lucky to be alive .

He would be quite satisfied even if this was the only chocolate he received today .

But, that was impossible, because he soon received a second batch of chocolate .

"Harano onii-san, for you!" Little Reo handed him a small box of chocolate with sparkles in her eyes . "I didn't buy this, I made it together with my friend . "

"Thank you . I'll gratefully accept . " Seiji smiled .

After they finished eating breakfast together, Mika, Chiaki, and Kaede all came visiting at his apartment .

"Here's my wonderful handmade chocolate as a tribute to the Harem King!" Chiaki handed him a box of chocolates using an exaggeratedly respectful pose .

"Thank you, I'll take them . " Seiji politely accepted .

"You're actually not retorting!?" The cool tomboy was astonished .

Seiji felt that it would be quite troublesome to be retorting like a day such as Valentine's Day . He faced everything calmly .

"Seiji... for you . " Mika handed him a box as her face flushed red .

"Thank you, Mika . " Seiji gently accepted her box and felt her intentions .

"This is from me . " Kaede smiled and handed him a box of chocolates as well . "If you come over to my room tonight, I'll have an additional present just for you~"

"...Just chocolate will be enough, thank you . " Seiji did his best to withstand the flirting .

"Sensei, can I come over to receive the additional present in his stead?" Chiaki raised her hand and asked a question as if she was in class .

"No . But, I'll treat you like a proper guest if you come over, Wakaba-san . " Kaede maintained her warm smile .

"I'll definitely come over!" Chiaki's eyes lit up .

Mika and Seiji were rendered speechless .

Everyone then headed to Genhana High School together .

The sky was quite dark and the wind was chilly . Yet, just this cold wind alone was insufficient to wipe away the passion that people were feeling today .

While putting his shoes away in his shoe locker at school, Seiji discovered chocolate from some girls he didn't know . Not only that, not surprisingly, Chiaki received chocolate from girls as well—even more than he did!

They both received chocolate from girls while on their way to class as well .

Once they reached the classroom, even more female students now surrounded Chiaki .

Seiji now had a much deeper understanding of Chiaki Wakaba's overwhelming popularity among girls after seeing such a scene .

'And you called me a Harem King? You're the true Harem King!' Seiji inwardly commented in his mind .

Although Chiaki was obviously more popular than he was, their male classmates were still mostly glaring at Seiji with obvious jealousy and complaints .

If this was a certain fictional school, Seiji felt that there would be a certain scary FFF cult 1 where all the members wore black robes and wielded sickles and torches appearing .

Although he already expected something like this, Seiji was still feeling quite impacted from the situation today .

"Seigo... please accept this . " Kaho also came over with a red face and handed him a circle-shaped box of chocolates .

"Thank you, Miyamoto-sensei . " Seiji smiled and accepted .

"Don't call me sensei..." Kaho's face grew even redder, making her appear really cute .

Now that she had gotten much thinner, not only did girls pay attention to her, boys were noticing her as well . Her popularity was growing daily .

Seiji felt the glares on him becoming even sharper . That was the best evidence .

With some more time passing, Kaho Miyamoto's physical appearance would finish foundationally changing . She might even become the most eye-catching girl in the class .

Because... of her breasts!

There was a saying that formerly fat girls would have very large breasts after becoming thinner . Seiji didn't know if this saying was 100% correct, but he was now seeing a living example .

Kaho indeed got much thinner . However, her breasts didn't reduce in size at all . As a result, her breasts seemed much bigger than before in comparison, which drew many eyes to her body .

Once she finished losing weight, she would definitely become a super beauty with gigantic breasts! As long as she wore some slightly sexy clothes, she would easily become a virgin killer .

Seiji suddenly recalled that he had once coincidentally met a beautiful girl with ridiculous I-cup breasts at the grocery store, which left him with a deep impression... He felt that the thinner version of Kaho quite physically resembled that girl .

At any rate, Seiji was happy for Kaho becoming more mature than before and looked forward to seeing what she would become in the future .

Class time .

Some girls from other classes kept coming over to Seiji's class to give him chocolate . Seiji knew none of these girls .

The only girl from another class that he already knew was a certain purple-haired girl . Her giving him chocolate attracted more attention than any other girl did .

Yukari walked directly into Year 1, Class 5's classroom . She walked straight up to Seiji with everyone watching and directly handed him a box .

"Here's my love chocolate . Please accept it, Milord," Yukari spoke in a cute voice as her face flushed somewhat red .

This instantly caused a commotion in the classroom .

"Thank you..." Seiji received quite an impact and his expression revealed that he was rather shaken .

"This chocolate contains my heartfelt feelings . You have to eat it all without leaving a single speck behind," Yukari spoke in a clear voice that everyone could hear .

"I will..." Seiji answered reflexively .

The commotion increased in volume!

Yukari was quite satisfied with this result . She turned around and left before her face could turn any redder .

"She declared her love in public... as expected of the Princess . " Chiaki watched the purple-haired girl leave .

Mika didn't know what to say .
