Using a Mysterious Spellbook Ended Up Creating a Slave Harem - Chapter 69

 Valentine's Day

Today is Tuesday, February 14th. Yes, today is Valentine's Day.

It’s an important day for boys—no, for girls as well. Whether or not you have a partner of the opposite sex, no one would dispute that it’s a significant day.

Well, I suppose there are people out there who genuinely couldn't care less from the bottom of their hearts. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of those rare individuals.

Up until last year, I only ever received obligatory chocolates (giri-choco) from Iroha, my mother, and a few classmates I was somewhat friendly with. But this year is different.

Naturally, the Immon (lust crest) slaves aside, I should be getting true-feeling chocolates (honmei-choco) from Otowa-chan as well. Actually, I already received chocolates from the four of them—Iroha, Chihiro, Nanako, and Yuzuha—this past Sunday.

I received them directly from Iroha and Chihiro, while Nanako and Yuzuha had entrusted theirs to the two of them. I went home that day filled with a sense of pure happiness.

By the way, the reason it was this past Sunday is because we set up a plan to rent a sex room next weekend under the pretext of Valentine's Day. I plan to enjoy a sweet date with Otowa-chan on either Saturday or Sunday.

With my heart swelling with anticipation, I headed to school. Even as I commuted, the restless, uneasy atmosphere surrounding the students was obvious.

Upon arriving at school, an unusual, bustling, and excited mood lingered in the air. Heading toward the classroom, it was much the same inside.

"Good morning."

"O-Oh! Good morning!"

"Morn..."

I exchanged greetings with Shigemitsu and Chigasaki, who were already in the room, but both were behaving differently than usual. Everyone will probably be like this all day today.

For now, I received a few obligatory chocolates from some of the girls I talk to every now and then. Shigemitsu, Chigasaki, and the other boys were in a similar situation.

The only exception in our class was Esaka. Girls from other classes were coming to see him, and he was raking in a massive haul of chocolates.

Otowa-chan arrived at school right before the bell rang. Naturally, she didn't hand out chocolates to anyone, and I figured I'd get mine in the clubroom after school anyway.

As for Rina, she was absent again today. She has only attended school twice this year—once at the end of last month and once at the beginning of this month—but apparently, that's enough to advance to the next grade in the entertainment stream.

＋＋＋

Finally, homeroom came to an end, bringing a close to a restless day at school. The boys in my class seemed to be keeping an eye on Otowa-chan, but given everything up until now, they should have known there was no way she would give them anything.

Once the final sign-off was given, she quickly left the classroom as usual. Someone let out a sigh, and a relaxed, deflated atmosphere filled the room.

"I guess Kanjina-san really isn't giving chocolates to anyone."

"Saida, what about you? Did you get any from Otowa-chan?"

At Chigasaki's approach, everyone around us—boys and girls alike—turned their attention to me. Since there was no need to lie, I answered honestly.

"No, I didn't get any."

"I see. Man, don't let it get you down."

"Um, what about from your former tutor?"

"I got some from her."

When I told Shigemitsu that I received some from Iroha, not just the two of them but the other guys around us looked at me with envy. She's quite a beautiful girl, so that's only natural.

"Well, I'm heading to the clubroom now, so I'd like to hope the chance of getting some there isn't zero."

"If you get your hopes up, the disappointment will hit harder."

"Yeah, knowing when to give up is key."

"...Anyway, the president will probably give me some out of courtesy, so I'm gonna drop by."

"Those sound like famous last words."

"Don't do anything reckless."

Bidding farewell to my unsupportive friends, I made my way to the old building. Wondering if Ichikawa-senpai might turn into a monkey again, I went to collect the honmei chocolate that Otowa-chan was supposed to give me.

"It's Saida."

"...Come in."

After checking my appearance outside the Fortune Telling Clubroom, I knocked on the door. After hearing the president's voice permitting entry, I turned the knob and walked in.

Inside were the president, looking slightly conflicted, and Otowa-chan, whose face was faintly flushed. Sitting opposite each other, I chose to sit next to my beloved girlfriend.

"I knew you'd come..."

"Oh, do I feel unwelcome?"

"Well, yeah. ...Here, Saida-kun, this is for you..."

The president handed me a small box. It was a nice item, seemingly more expensive than I had expected.

"Thank you very much."

"Of course, it's just obligatory chocolate. ...I don't want Otowa-chan glaring at me."

"Mitsuho-san?"

"...Well then, I'll be heading home for today."

"Are you leaving already?"

"Yeah, I'd be in the way, and I don't want to throw up sugar watching you two flirt."

"Mitsuho-san!?"

"Just don't forget to lock up when you leave. ...Enjoy your time."

After handing me the chocolate, the president left the room as if her business was done. Wondering if she was eavesdropping outside the door like before, I activated my Life Detection Magic.

I sensed a human-sized lifeform walking down the hallway toward the stairs. It seems she actually went straight home today.

After confirming she went down the stairs, I released the maintenance on my Life Detection Magic. Meanwhile, Otowa-chan pulled a box slightly larger than the president's out from her bag.

"U-Um! Atsushi-kun!"

"Yes?"

"Here, please accept this Valentine's chocolate..."

"Thank you. ...This is the happiest Valentine's chocolate I've ever received."

"R-Really...?♪"

At my impression, the redness in her cheeks deepened, and she smiled joyfully. Her smile was so dazzling that I shifted my gaze down to the box of chocolates I received.

"Can I open it?"

"Yeah, go ahead♪"

Judging by the wrapping paper and the box, it was store-bought rather than handmade. Thinking to myself that I would have liked to try homemade chocolate too, I opened the outer box to reveal six heart-shaped chocolates, each about three centimeters wide.

"At first, I thought about making them myself..."

"Yeah."

"My mom stopped me, saying 'It'll definitely taste terrible, so don't bother.'"

"Is that so?"

"...Instead, I'll feed them to you♪"

Saying that, she picked up a piece of chocolate from the box between her fingers and brought it to my mouth. With a blushing expression, Otowa-chan spoke in a sweet, melting voice.

"Here. ...Say Aah~♪"

"Aah..."

"...How is it? Is it good?"

"Mmm... yeah, it's delicious. ...It's moderately sweet, with a refined, mature flavor."

"I'm glad...♪ Want another one?"

"Let's see. ...In that case, next time, will you feed it to me with your mouth?"

"Eh...?♪ Jeez, we're at school, you know?♪"

Even so, I knew she would do it. Just as I expected, Otowa-chan held the chocolate in her mouth and leaned in close. Lightly touching our lips, I accepted the sweet treat.

"Mmph... mmm... it tastes even sweeter and more delicious like this... Okay then."

"Ah... jeez, Atsushi-kun, you're so naughty♪"

Holding the chocolate—slightly starting to melt from the heat inside my mouth—between my lips, she picked up on my intent and accepted it into her mouth. After rolling it around inside her mouth a few times, Otowa-chan did the same, and I welcomed it back while kissing her again.

After that, we repeated this multiple times, dirtying both our lips with chocolate and saliva. It continued until the chocolate passed back and forth between our mouths completely melted away.

＋＋＋

After doing the same thing one more time, we called it a night. I intended to savor the remaining three chocolates carefully.

We decided to head home separately. Going home together on Valentine's Day felt like it might lead to unnecessary drama or rumor-mongering.

I let Otowa-chan leave first, killed about ten minutes, and then left the clubroom. After making sure the room was locked, I finally set off for home myself.

When I arrived home, two packages had been delivered by courier. Checking the senders and contents, they were Valentine's chocolates from Rina and Erika.

Reading the letters enclosed inside, they mentioned that prospects for the new Immon slaves I had ordered previously were finally settled. Depending on when their off-days were, my heart leaped with excitement as I looked forward to it.
