Chapter 220 - Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [17] (1/2)

220. Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [17]

I received a shocking confession from Rose.

「This『affection』… It’s the affection between friends, isn’t it?」

While falling into a state of half-panic, I somehow managed to speak the words.

(C-Calm down and think calmly… In this place where all our classmates are, there is no way she would confess!)

As I wracked my brain more than ever before, and suppressed my worked up emotions,

「No, that’s not it. What I’m talking about is the affection between a man and a woman. The so-called love feeling.」

Rose asserted with straightforward eyes. Her cheeks dyed scarlet.

「I-Is that so…」

I had abdsolutely no experience of being favored by the opposite sex, so I didn’t know how to respond.

And then, Rose most likely noticed my perplexment, and–

「I’m not asking for a response here. I just wanted to convey my feelings.」

She explained that she gave the chocolates with genuine sentiments in her heart.

「I, I understand. Anyway, thank you.」

And when I thanked her again, Rose turned her eyes to my hand.

「Naa Allen, it’s fresh out of the oven. If you’d like, could you eat it now?」

「Well, that’s true, too.」

When I opened the beautiful package, which was decorated with sakura blossoms, there were eight heart-shaped lovely chocolate cookies.

「T-This looks really good.」

It’s like a cookie sold at a confectionery store.

「Fufu, of course. This is not ready-made goods after all. I’m the one who baked this especially for Allen.」

Rose said, with her voice full of happiness. And then, she put on a warm, soft smile.

「T-Thank you… Itadakimasu!」

I took a bite of the cookie while suppressing my throbbing heart.

Satisfying crispy texture.

Just the right sweetness.

Sprinkled in chocolate chips.

It’s a perfect cookie with nothing to complain about.

「W-What do you think?」

Rose asked for my impressions nervously.
