Chapter 536 - 522: Valentine’s Day Chocolate!

Chapter 536: Chapter 522: Valentine’s Day Chocolate!

[ "Before we get exposed, let’s dispel the magic first." Seeing the situation developing in an increasingly strange direction, Ainz hurriedly undid the spell.

Realizing something was wrong, Tanya and Natsuki Subaru quickly spun around and sat back in their seats, putting on the appearance of seriously answering questions.

Only Aqua, still acting like a fool, stared blankly at the two acting strangely: "What’s wrong?"

"What are you doing?" Roswaal, whose chair had been moved away, leaving him suspended in mid-air with his legs crossed, spotted Aqua standing in the center at a glance.

Then Roswaal slowly closed the book in his hands, stood up, pointed outside the hallway, and smiled: "Go stand in the hallway for a while~"

"WHY—!" Aqua immediately let out a wail. ]

〜Type-Moon World, G̶̘̏̕͜ṟ̶͠a̵̹͂̆n̵̻̤̎d̶̞͐ ̷̫͇͑C̸̛̪̬ȃ̴̯r̵̓̓͜n̸̜̋͗î̷̭v̸̱͆ȃ̷̫̚l̵͚̋ Worldline, Chaldea〜

"Because you’re stupid! The kind of stupid that’s hopeless."

Jeanne Alter rolled her eyes speechlessly. In that situation just now, even an idiot would know to hide.

Didn’t you see that Tanya and Subaru were able to react in an instant, sitting back in their seats and pretending to be serious? Yet this second-rate goddess stood there like a log.

"So, things like God, the Lord, or Goddesses... only that silly, sweet village girl would think they are reliable!"

She wasn’t exaggerating; with Aqua’s IQ, even she could trick Aqua into working at a night singularity!

Every day, ignoring her proper duties to hide at the door and secretly observe Jeanne Alter, Jeanne d’Arc was stunned into silence after hearing Jalter’s remarks: "..."

She felt like she had inexplicably been stabbed by Jalter again.

〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜

Watching Ainz voluntarily dispel the magic, Ristarte’s eyes were a bit glazed over:

"So, exactly how long can Ainz stop time for..."

Good heavens, stopping time is something even goddesses like them might not be able to do, yet this guy Ainz acts like it’s nothing, turning it on and off whenever he pleases!

If he didn’t cancel the magic, would time just stay stopped forever? Isn’t that invincible? Who could possibly beat him?

"Time Stop... what a troublesome ability!"

Beside her, Seiya’s brows were already tightly furrowed, alarm bells ringing in his mind. What if the Demon King knows time-based magic? Wouldn’t he be a sitting duck?

If that were really the case, it would be bad! Just to be cautious, he’d better go learn some magic that can counter time manipulation first.

.....

[ The scene shifts. After the exam ended, the annual Valentine’s Day soon arrived—the day to give chocolates to the one you love.

"That’s right, Valentine’s Day! Giving chocolate to the person you like seems to be a custom from the world Kazuma was originally from."

Megumin was imparting knowledge related to Valentine’s Day to Emilia and Viktoriya.

Emilia nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite, then looked to the side in confusion: "Who does Megumin plan to give that... chocolate? To whom?"

Megumin blurted out almost without hesitation: "Kazuma, I guess."

"An, an instant answer?!" This stunned Viktoriya on the side. She really hadn’t known that Megumin was such a straightforward person.

Megumin nodded: "After all, he lives a life unrelated to Valentine’s Day. He personally sighed and said he had only ever received chocolate from his mother."

Viktoriya couldn’t help but think for a moment: "Chocolate, huh? I love eating it. It feels like a waste to give it away."

Subsequently, Viktoriya asked Emilia the same question. The latter thought for a moment, but then indicated she planned to give it to Puck. ]

[ .....]

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

"I WON—!!"

Kazuma let out a cheer of victory right there, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye with some bitterness. He could finally receive chocolate from someone other than his mother.

And to receive it at school, that was simply significant beyond measure. Not only did it give him face, but it also fulfilled his original dream!

Thinking of this, Kazuma stepped forward, crying and tightly grasping Megumin’s hands, conveying his inner excitement.

"Thank you so much! Later, I’ll accompany you outside the city to cast Explosion Magic for a whole month straight, no problem!"

"Uh... as long as you’re happy."

Megumin hadn’t expected a single chocolate to have such lethality; she was still a bit dazed.

Meanwhile, in the Crimson Demon Village, her old father, watching his daughter on the screen, planning to give chocolate to Kazuma without hesitation, was instantly moved to tears.

"Honey, our days of suffering are about to end! That’s a son-in-law who can earn 2 billion in the future!"

This counts as a confession, right? This absolutely counts as a confession! My dear daughter, strive to take down this worthy son-in-law as fast as possible. Remember, you must not be tsundere; tsunderes end up as losing heroines!

〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜

"I LOST—!"

As the saying goes, some rejoice while others grieve. Natsuki Subaru looked as if his soul had been sucked out, kneeling weakly on the ground.

Although receiving a gift only from his mother on Valentine’s Day was somewhat realistic, he didn’t expect that he would still not receive chocolate even in another world academy.

Rem walked up, squatted down, reached out to rub Subaru’s hair, and smiled gently:

"It’s okay, Subaru. Rem’s chocolate will definitely be given to Subaru."

In this moment, Natsuki Subaru felt that Rem was simply an angel. Her whole body radiated a blinding light that made him unable to open his eyes, and he instantly felt healed.

.....

[ Meanwhile, in the hallway on the other side, on this incredibly important day, the men naturally gathered together as well.

"I want... chocolate!" Lieutenant Weiss was excitedly expressing his thoughts: "The chocolate in this world is delicious. I’ve already forgotten the taste of chocolate from our world."

"And isn’t today the once-a-year day where we can get a ration of chocolate from women?"

"Is it really okay to have such a happy day?!"

Grantz, standing to the side, hurriedly interrupted Lieutenant Weiss, who was intoxicated by the idea: "Today is the day women give chocolate to men they have... feelings... for."

Grantz specifically pronounced the word ’feelings’ clearly, yet it was directly ignored by Lieutenant Weiss, who was lost in his reverie.

At this, the surrounding people sighed deeply: "This guy is hopeless." ]

[ .....]

〜Kaguya-sama: Love Is War World〜

"Yeah, this guy is completely hopeless."

Shirogane Miyuki reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead:

"He completely fails to realize what a cruel day Valentine’s Day is."

"Indeed, President!"

Kaguya, beside him, also wore a grave expression: "It is simply war!"

The two, who believed that whoever confessed first was the loser, currently shared the same thought in their hearts... ON VALENTINE’S DAY, HOW CAN I GIVE/RECEIVE CHOCOLATE TO/FROM THE PRESIDENT/KAGUYA WITHOUT MAKING IT OBVIOUS!!

"Die... Die Beam...!"

Ishigami Yu, with a face full of despair, gestured continuously at the screen, muttering inexplicable words.

"Eh...?!"

Fujiwara Chika tilted her head slightly, looking at the people in front of her with a face full of question marks. Wasn’t everyone fine just a moment ago?

Cruel? War? Die Beam? Are they talking about the same Valentine’s Day?

〜Baka to Test: Summon the Beasts World〜

"Sigh..."

Yuuji sighed deeply. Lieutenant, oh Lieutenant, wake up from your fantasy. Whether you receive chocolate or not is already a problem.

Leaving aside the level of familiarity the women from other worlds have with you, they obviously all have their own targets.

And only two women came from your world. One thinks giving it away is a waste and is considering keeping it for herself to eat. And the other is the little girl Tanya...

Not long ago, your commanding officer was complaining that she was a devil in the skin of a little girl. Do you think the chances of her giving you chocolate are high?

School life is sometimes just this cruel!

.....

[ Just then, they ran into Kazuma, who happened to be passing by. Lieutenant Neumann’s eyes lit up instantly: "How do people generally ask when they want someone to give them chocolate in your world?"

"Let me think." Kazuma rubbed his chin, appearing to think seriously for a moment.

Suddenly, he extended both hands, bowed 90 degrees, and pleaded towards the front with an incredibly loud voice: "Give me! Chocolate!"

"Just extend your hands like this, bow your head with sincerity, and if you do that, you’ll get so much chocolate your hands will go soft."

Lieutenant Weiss immediately walked up with a face full of gratitude: "Kazuma, thank you so much!"

"It’s nothing, no need to thank me." Kazuma, hiding his merit and fame, turned and walked away. In a place Lieutenant Weiss couldn’t see, he was covering his mouth and snickering.

Although Lieutenant Grantz and the others instantly realized this was a lie, Lieutenant Weiss, completely immersed in his fantasy, believed it instantly without a doubt. ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Oh no, there’s a villain among the masses! Don’t believe him, LIEUTENANT WEISS—!"

Seeing that smirk, Kazuma revealed, everyone from the other worlds instantly went on high alert. As expected of Scum-zuma, this is indeed something he would do.

.....

〜Kaguya-sama: Love Is War World〜

"I see, this really is a battlefield!"

Seeing this scene, Fujiwara Chika was instantly startled awake.

Kazuma actually used such a despicable method to reduce his competition. No wonder male students view Valentine’s Day as a battlefield; it turns out a moment of carelessness leads to eternal damnation!

Seeing that Chika was getting the wrong idea, Shirogane Miyuki hurriedly waved his hands to explain:

"No, the battlefield I mentioned just now didn’t mean that."

Chika, her curiosity off the charts, hurriedly pressed:

"Then what does it mean?"

"Uh..."

Shirogane Miyuki didn’t know how to explain for a moment. After all, judging by Kazuma’s performance, saying it wasn’t a battlefield would be ridiculously wrong.

Meanwhile, Ishigami Yu’s eyes lit up after seeing Kazuma’s operation. He never expected there to be such a method to turn Valentine’s ’Day’ into a Valentine’s ’Calamity’.

〜Type-Moon World, G̶̘̏̕͜ṟ̶͠a̵̹͂̆n̵̻̤̎d̶̞͐ ̷̫͇͑C̸̛̪̬ȃ̴̯r̵̓̓͜n̸̜̋͗î̷̭v̸̱͆ȃ̷̫̚l̵͚̋ Worldline, Chaldea〜

"You could have asked anyone, but you chose to ask Kazuma, whose moral baseline is extremely flexible... You deserve your bad luck."

Jalter crossed her arms over her chest and shook her head with some pity.

Please, that’s Kichiku-zuma(Brute Kazuma)! Although he might be reliable at critical moments, in normal times like this, he is the biggest troll.

One dares to say it, the other dares to believe it.

How is this a method to ask for Valentine’s chocolate? Extending both hands and bowing 90 degrees like that... if you told me it was begging, I’d believe it.

Acting like that, let alone receiving chocolate, it would be a miracle if he didn’t get beaten up.
