Chapter 66 Milk Chocolate Valentine's Day Chocolate
Early that morning, the twins knocked on Amiho Akina's door and dragged her out for a morning workout.
Of course, by this time, Akina Amaho would have already gotten up and would be yawning as she walked over to open the door.
She had been being dragged out of bed for morning exercises by Miyako and Miyaji for over a month. During that month, Akina did feel that her athletic ability had improved, but then she was asked to run even further distances, which made her even more tired.
This prompted Akina Amane, who had initially wanted to slack off, to say, "If I only run one kilometer, and I keep running like this every day, my body won't get too bad, right?"
She genuinely believes that.
Gong You waved his finger: "Not yet? Mina clearly still has energy left, right?"
Miyaji nodded, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he nudged Amaho Akina.
"Run! Don't stop here!"
They felt that it would be better for Akina Amaho to get more training.
So Amaho Akina could only sigh inwardly as she ran another kilometer, this time running straight home from that intersection.
She wiped her sweat, panting, and walked a little further. After watching the twins run away, and a while later, Amamiya entered her house and took a shower.
After coming out, she clipped her wet hair up with a clip, then simply dried it with a towel. After waiting a few minutes, she heard the sound of the door opening; it was Gong You and the others walking in.
After the New Year period, Akina Amamiya simply handed over the key to them, telling them that they could use it to open the door whenever they wanted to come over. However, she would occasionally lock the door from the inside, at which point people outside couldn't open it.
Gong You happily put the key away, but Gong Zhi asked, "You idiot, can you guarantee you won't lose it while you're holding it?"
Gong You stammered, making it really hard to say.
Finally, the two decided that each would keep it for one day, and whoever lost it could blame the other.
Akina Amane put away her memories and skillfully handed the hair dryer and comb from the table to the two of them. Miyaji picked up the hair dryer and stood behind the sofa, while Miyayu picked up the comb.
She closed her eyes slightly, leaned back on the sofa, and enjoyed this peaceful moment.
Her hair was quickly dried with the help of the twins. Not only that, Gong You, who didn't know where he learned it, even grabbed her hair and tied it into a bun.
Akina Ameho opened her eyes and looked around, only to find that the hair tie she had placed on the table was missing; she didn't know when Miyayu had taken it.
"Let me try it next time." Gong Zhi nudged Gong You and said in a low voice. He was also envious and a little jealous of what Gong You did.
She shook her head with a bit of curiosity. Gong You's skills were pretty good; at least, there was no difference between his hair and the hair she usually styled for herself.
"Ayu, I never thought you could do something like this." She said, giving Gong You a thumbs up.
Generally speaking, boys don't tie girls' hair.
Gong You touched his nose, a little proudly saying, "I learned this technique recently."
Miyaji glanced at him speechlessly, but decided to be magnanimous and not expose him. After all, the truth was that Miyayu had bought a wig and was just trying to figure out how to style people's hair into buns when he had nothing else to do.
Miyayu then remembered that last weekend, Akina Amami's bun had become a little loose from playing volleyball, and she had shown a slightly troubled expression.
He thought to himself that he would be able to help, so when he got back, he gritted his teeth and bought a wig to learn how to tie hair.
Fortunately, I succeeded on my first real attempt.
"Did you learn it specifically for me?" Akina Amako glanced at Yuu Miyako and asked mischievously.
“Yeah, who else would I be able to do hair for?” Miya Yu nodded generously, while Amaho Akina seemed a little embarrassed.
She coughed lightly and turned her head away so that no one would notice her slightly flushed face.
"Alright, since it's Valentine's Day, I'll give you all some chocolates too." Akina Amami stood up, went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out two boxes of chilled chocolates.
Still slightly cool, Miyaji was the first to open the box, eager to taste the chocolate.
Of course, on the other hand, there are still expectations for certain things.
Unfortunately, he was still disappointed. How come... all the chocolates in the box were shaped like mathematical symbols?
Of course, besides these, there are other common shapes like triangles and circles.
"Minna, why are all the chocolates these shapes?" Miyaji frowned, picked up a triangular chocolate and put it in his mouth.
I must say, the taste is indeed very good, with a rich and fragrant aroma. The aroma of chocolate is combined with the aroma of milk. Although it is slightly bitter, it is not sour, but rather a refreshing sweetness.
"Well, since I didn't know what shape to make, I just remembered your quiz results from a while ago, so I just made these." Akina Amami shrugged.
Moreover, these shapes are, to some extent, the shapes she is most familiar with, since composition techniques always use these shapes.
Gong You's expression froze for a second. Hmm, he failed the math quiz that time. Is that why he still has to see these chocolates today?
He wore a bitter expression: "Minnai, is this some kind of punishment?"
Miyaji tilted his head slightly, pondered for two seconds, and decided that Amaho Akina probably wouldn't bring it up on her own, so he decided to test the waters first.
So he asked, "Could it be... that you really mean it?"
Akina quickly waved her hand, and seeing that both of them were looking at her, her face flushed a little again—really, she had calmed down after going to the kitchen, so why did she start to panic when asked now?
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then spoke: "Does Aji want to ask if this is real chocolate?"
Miyaji nodded, still staring at Amaho Akina, determined to get an answer from her.
Miyako also realized that this was a crucial issue. Honestly, he had just forgotten about it again, and was happy just watching Mina give them chocolates.
So he stared at Minna, remaining silent, waiting for her answer.
Akina Amaho slowly exhaled. Well, she had already prepared the so-called answer.
She slightly curled the corners of her lips, put her hands on her hips, and her answer was—"No, these are obligation chocolates. After all, we're good friends. How could I give you chocolates from the bottom of my heart?"
As she spoke, she also put on a perfectly timed look of distress.
At that moment, both Miyako Yuu and Miyako Osamu clearly realized that Amaho Akina was doing it on purpose!
She clearly sensed the change in their relationship and guessed the final truth, but she said nothing.
"Tsk." Gong You pursed his lips, clearly not satisfied, but he still took a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth.
This is a piece of white chocolate, very sweet, but not cloying. Gong You chewed it, and the chocolate tasted really good.
His mood calmed down again; at least, Amaho Akina would give them chocolates.
Moreover, it seems that Akina Amaho only prepared chocolates for them, otherwise she wouldn't be sitting here so naturally instead of thinking about going out. In other words, this is also a date in disguise!
As a result, Miyako and Miyaji's moods improved, because Miyaji had also thought of this.
It has to be said that, quite often, they tend to think about the same things.
"In that case, can't Mina really give us that painting on the wall as a gift?" Miyaji said, looking at the painting hanging on the wall.
That painting of the Ferris wheel scene—back then, Akina Amane must have realized what was really going on.
But it seems she can't really make a choice, and they can't make a choice for her either; perhaps things will just continue like this.
But if things continue like this, wouldn't it be a perfect ending?
Gong Zhi thought of it.
"I can't give you that painting. Let's have some chocolate instead. I think I've given you a pretty generous amount," said Akina Amami, sitting back down on the sofa between Yuu Miyabi and Osamu Miyabi.
If he couldn't get the painting, Miyaji didn't force the issue.
He glanced at the box; it was indeed quite substantial, probably equivalent to two boxes of chocolates sold in stores, enough to keep him busy for a while.
He then took an X-shaped chocolate and put it in his mouth, chewing it.
He was almost reluctant to finish the remaining chocolate; if he ate any more, he wouldn't be able to enjoy this delicious treat again.
Gong You, on the other hand, didn't have this problem; he simply picked up the next chocolate and started eating.
"Osamu, are you worried that there won't be any more chocolates after you finish eating them?" Akina Amaho noticed Osamu's slightly troubled expression.
“Yes.” Miyaji nodded.
“It’s okay. Although you won’t be able to have it this year, I will still prepare it for next year,” said Akina Amami.
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Miya Yu turned around and looked at Amaho Akina.
“Yes, I will prepare again.” Akina Amaho nodded.
In other words, there's a chance I might receive the heart-shaped chocolate next year, right? Miya Yu thought to herself.
“Speaking of which, the triangle is indeed the most stable shape, so I like to use it most when composing pictures,” said Akina Amami.
Moreover, when practicing composition skills, she often uses triangles as supports because, comparatively, triangles are the easiest shape for her to arrange.
Gong Zhi glanced at the chocolate box; indeed, triangular chocolates were the most numerous.
He and Gong You exchanged a glance and agreed, "Indeed, the triangle is the most stable shape."
After saying that, he picked up a triangular chocolate and put it in his mouth.
