Super Heart-Throbbing Chocolate Confession!

Gundham

  'Am I in the right room?'

       Hajime found himself gawking at a classroom that had drastically transformed since he last stepped foot. The normally open curtains were shut, causing the classroom to be devoid of any and all outside light. There was still light in the classroom, however, it came in the form of numerous purple candles. Hajime stepped into the classroom and onto a red-carpet runner that led directly to the Ultimate Animal Breeder.

  Gundham darkly chuckled, "So you've come for my offering, it seems I've greatly underestimated you."

  "Hey, Gundham," Hajime smelt one of the candles nearby, "Is this lavender?"

  With wide eyes, Gundham briskly walked over to Hajime, "Did you complete the soul bonding ritual with Souda?"

  "Uh, I did?" Hajime gently moved the boy's scarf away from the flame, "Careful, we wouldn't want your scarf to catch fire."

Though Gundham had taken a step back from the candle, a red glow remained on his cheeks.

  "It appears that even these enchanted candles weren't enough to combat your unforeseen power," Gundham bellowed, "Though you may have temporarily placed me under a curse, you will not be able to fully conquer me nor will you learn my secret dark arts!"

  Hajime tilted his head, "What exactly are you talking about?"

  "Let's drop the pretenses, shall we?" his classmate grinned, "Tell me, how were you able to enslave the hearts and souls of our dear classmates?"

  "You said 'dear' classmates, I'm glad you care about us." Hajime smiled, "Besides, I didn't do anything aside from writing a paper."

  "I, Tanaka the Forbidden One, don't care for those lower life-forms. I'm merely concerned about you gathering so many human souls," he looked away, "All I need are the Four Devas and the rest of my evil minions."

       As if on cue, there was movement inside Gundham's scarf and the Devas emerged. However, Hajime noticed one of the hamsters, the white and grey one, was still tucked inside his long scarf, near his neck, with its eyes closed.

  "This one's Jum-P, right?" Hajime asked as he rubbed the cheek of the sleeping hamster, "He's always sleeping, isn't he?"

  "T-that's right," Gundham felt his face heat up as he watched Jum-P snuggle towards his classmate's touch, "I'm surprised a human like yourself noticed his traits; you seem to have a certain affinity to him."

  Hajime moved his hand from the inside of the scarf and looked up at the animal breeder, "Gundham, your face is turning pink, and even your ears. Are you okay?"

  "You should know more than anyone," Gundham hid his face in the purple scarf before giving Hajime a large paper bag, "After all, you are the one who cast this curse on me."

  Hajime lifted a white rabbit plushie out of the pink bag, "I think I've seen this on TV before."

  "Your eyes don't deceive you. She's no other than Magical Miracle Girl Usami!"

  "Yep, that definitely is a magical girl wand."

  "As the Supreme Overlord of Ice, I rule above many underlings who tend to disobey my orders so unfortunately, I couldn't give you a proper offering."

  "You didn't want to risk your pets getting into the chocolates, right?"

  Gundham nodded, "You seem to understand my position as an overlord. Not only that, you can perform curses and are compatible with the Four Dark Devas of Destruction."

  "I don't know about the curses part..."

  "You have potential but you don't have enough dark energy," Gundham fiddled with his scarf, "If you ever wish to join the Tanaka Empire and help me with the underlings, I suggest you work on your curses so they last longer..."
