Sweet Intoxication That Melts Away With One Bite (Part 2)
Hatsumi: What do you mean by happy?
Lilja: Because I saw something rare. It's not like you to get excited about things other than acting.
Lilja: It's a sign that you like being at Eden.
Hatsumi: I feel like saying something straight back, but…... There’s no room for argument on this one.
Hatsumi: A theatre company that I can move as I wish, and actors I approve of. I have these two things, so I have nothing to say.
Hatsumi: Of course, I don't know if it will stay the same in the future. It's possible that, for some reason, I'll give up on Eden......and vice versa.
Hatsumi: However...... with the current Eden, I don't think I have to worry about that. The events of Valentine's Day convinced me of that.
Lilja: You don't doubt anymore.
Hatsumi: Because there's no room for doubt.
Lilja: I see. Then give them lots of harsh love.
Hatsumi: It's too early to be a stranger. You should receive my love too.
Lilja: Eh?
Hatsumi: Receive it. To put it in your own way, it's harsh love from me.
Lilja: A present? From you, to me......?
Hatsumi: What’s so surprising? I was indebted to you on Valentine’s Day. Isn't it natural to return the favor with sincerity?
Lilja: Can I open it?
Hatsumi: Yeah, be my guest.
Lilja: ......Body cream. It smells of chocolate.
Hatsumi: I thought it would be nice to get you something that's very Valentine's Day-like, since we're going all this way. I did my homework and decided on something from the manufacturer you use.
Lilja: Yeah. It matches......
Hatsumi: Heh heh......are you that surprised?
Lilja: Not fair...... I didn't give you anything for Valentine's Day......
Hatsumi: Just seeing your face is worth giving it to you.
Lilja: .............
Hatsumi: Oops, did I tease you too much? But you're the one who taught me how to have this fun, remember?
Lilja: Me?
Hatsumi: The nervousness and anticipation when you give someone chocolate yourself...... The embarrassed and happy face of the person to whom you give it......
Hatsumi: The excitement and emotion that is unique to the Valentine's Day event. If I had just received it like before, I would never have understood.
Hatsumi: If you hadn't given me the chance, I wouldn't have known anything. Let me thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Lilja: The way you say it is exaggerated......
Hatsumi: That's how grateful I am.
Lilja: Yeah...... Hatsumi's feelings were conveyed properly. Thank you for the present.
Hatsumi: Heh heh......
Lilja: What's wrong......?
Hatsumi: Nothing......when I thought that smile was directed only at me, I couldn't help but smile.
Hatsumi: Next year's Valentine's Day too, I have to do my best to see Lilja’s smile!
Lilja: The motive is impure. But-
Lilja: (I'm sure it will help you. Love goes around.)
Hatsumi: But......what?
Lilja: I won't say any more. Because it will come around someday. Heh heh.
