A Love Situation with Arachne

---

Shinjuku Station

Good morning, [Player]-san. I really appreciate you coming here.

The world is completely in Valentine’s day mode. Lately, chocolates have been flying about everywhere.

Yes, yes, I know. As a member of the industry, it’s an event I can’t overlook!

For that reason, here. It’s a Valentine’s day present from me.

What she handed over without hesitation was a sophisticated paper bag. A box, wrapped in a high-classed wrapping.

Inside that box, there was a handkerchief, a wine red-colored cloth embroidered with one point.

Fufufu, are you surprised? This is a Valentine’s gift in the apparel world!

A high-quality handkerchief that the Arachne Brand offers, specially made for gifts. A simple design, and the practicality is on point of course!

Many other things have been prepared as well: tie pins, neckties, lingerie. Fufu. they are quite popular, you know?

Now, please make use of it to your heart content, [Player]-san. I’ll be counting on you with many post on the social media of course!

Now then, Ciao.

Wait. No, no, no, no, noooooooooooo. I didn’t call you because I wanted some publicity!

Eh? You have some business with me as well? Could it be…?

……………………?!

I-Is this… for me? A Valentine’s day… present? No way…

I, a person of business, feel my heart racing…! This is… The influence of this season, of chocolates…!

…I’ll gladly accept it. I keep staying up all night, so the extra sugar is always welcome!

Uh… So, this is also from me. I wanted to give you this in return… along with the handkerchief I gave you earlier.

I can't believe that I, who creates “fashion” for the apparel world, ended up following the “fashion” of the confectionery world. Aah… but still.

It’s like tailoring clothes for a special person. What can I give you for Valentine’s day that would make you happy…?

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t exclude chocolates. Because I visualized the face you would make when you accepted them.

That’s why… I prepared both. Thank goodness I was able to hand it over… Fufu.

Now, please accept it. Arachne-chan’s special chocolate and handkerchief.

Arachne, who was trying to deliver those newly chocolates, just kept talking as her face blushed.

Um… The reason I kept doing my best and stayed up all night until now, was in order to take a break from today to tomorrow’s morning.

If… Just if. If you are okay with it… would you please spend some time with me? Since it’s a special night… I wanted to spend it with you.

Arachne held [Player]’s arm while her face was turning bright red. Then she pressed her face up close against their cheek.

The two shadows disappeared in the crowd of the city, as they felt each other’s heartbeats on their arms.
