SA 66 - Chocolate

{Author}

Misaki had ventured into Central Town, accompanied by Hotaru. Mikan was engrossed in conversation with Tsubasa in the Special Ability Class, so Misaki decided to run errands for her friends, including Permy and the others.

Mikan's face lit up with happiness as she spotted Misaki and Hotaru. Permy and the rest of the girls followed Mikan, their interest piqued.

" Misa-chan!" Mikan beamed and dashed over to them. Permy and her friends closely trailed behind.

Misaki looked puzzled as she regarded Mikan. " Ah, Mikan-chan, is something wrong? Weren't you with Tsubasa-senpai?" she inquired, blinking a few times in confusion.

Mikan wore a wide grin as she grabbed Misaki's hand. " Ne, Misa-chan, can you help us?" she began.

Permy stepped forward and made their request. "Could you please buy some things for us in Central Town?" she asked. Misaki hesitated for a moment before nodding.

" Sure," Misaki agreed, and she turned her attention to Hotaru, who was waiting patiently beside her.

Permy, along with Anna, Nonoko, and Mikan, handed Misaki a list of ingredients for making chocolates.

" What's this for?" Misaki asked, studying the list in her hand.

Permy couldn't help but facepalm and cast an exasperated look at Misaki. " Seriously? It's Valentine's Day!" she exclaimed, shaking her head. Mikan and the others nodded vigorously.

" Valentine's Day?" Misaki repeated, still not quite grasping the concept.

" You see, Misaki, Valentine's Day is when girls give chocolates to the guys they like," Hotaru explained, interjecting to provide some clarity.

" You'll see how fun Valentine's Day is later on," Nonoko added with a cheerful laugh. Misaki and Hotaru headed to Central Town, with Hotaru's invention enabling them to travel there with ease.

Meanwhile, in the Special Ability Class, Tsubasa expressed his disinterest in Valentine's Day. " How can Valentine's Day get you so excited? Most guys dislike it, especially the popular ones," he muttered with an air of indifference, though a hint of concern lurked beneath the surface.

" Why do you have to act all aloof? It doesn't suit you," Misaki-senpai retorted, giving Tsubasa a playful tap on the back of his head.

" Ow, why are you so mean?" Tsubasa frowned, shooting Misaki-senpai a quick glance.

Back at the classroom, Mikan and her friends were eagerly anticipating Valentine's Day. Narumi-sensei piped up, catching their attention.

" Valentine's Day, huh? A time when girls add some special effects to their chocolates," he remarked, eliciting an intrigued response from the girls as he tried to clarify.

Mikan and her friends' eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, undaunted by the prospect of making chocolates.

Narumi-sensei and Misaki-sensei discreetly slipped out of the room, distancing themselves from the forthcoming chocolate-making endeavors.

" I'm so excited!" Anna enthused, her hands clasped together. Nonoko was already contemplating making chocolates for Misaki-sensei.

Permy's eyes transformed into hearts as she imagined Ruka's reaction upon receiving her handmade chocolates.

Mikan nodded resolutely. "  I'm excited to see how they turn out. Misa-chan, hurry back so we can start making our chocolates," she giggled, sporting a wide grin.

Koko and Kitsuneme joined the lively discussion, teasing Mikan. " Have you decided who you're going to give your chocolates to?" Koko asked, giving one of Mikan's pigtails a playful tug.
