Present exchange with Zabaniya

Daikanyama Academy

[Player]-sama. What business do you have today?

What day is today? Of course I know.

To your companions… Ah, and to those you love, on this day you hear each other’s feelings and give them a gift.

Zabaniya was a bit reluctant when saying the word “love”,
his face blushing as he did so.

As soon as Zabaniya spoke,
[Player] handed him out the present he had prepared.

For me to recieve this wonderful gift from you… Right… Now I think it’s time to be honest with myself.

That said, Zabaniya took out a clumsily wrapped bag
from one of his pockets.

I wanted to express my thanks to you on this day, so I prepared this small gift. These are my feelings for this day.

No, Arslan-sama didn’t ask me to do this. I thought of it myself, and worked on my own.

Actually I wish I were more skillful and make it a bit better… But I don’t know how.

[Player] opened Zabaniya’s
present on the spot.

No, it’s not charcoal, it’s supposed to be a … cookie. I baked it with the flames of Gehenna.

I don’t want you to feel bad, but I would be pleased to know how do you think it tastes.

When [Player] put into his mouth the deformed looking cookie,
the taste of Zabaniya’s effort spread inside.

The flavor… What do you think?

As a response to Zabaniya’s question,
[Player] showed a smiling face…

Zabaniya’s face made a sign of relief, before
showing his regular expressionless face once again.

I’m truly sorry, [Player]-sama. Next time, please let me try again.

At that time, once more… Will you accept what I cook to you?

… Yes, that’s right. Not something that I’m asked to do, but something that comes from me.

Captivated by Zabaniya’s gentle smile,
[Player] instinctively shook his head up and down.
