Episode 15: Valentine Chocolate
At night in Mialethra's house, she was busy making chocolates for Aizakawa.
But every attempt kept failing.
First attempt: the chocolate turned out spicy.
Second attempt: it turned out salty.
Now on the third attempt, Mialethra kept trying again.
When she tasted it, the spicy flavor still appeared.
Frustrated, Mialethra asked her older sister for help, and the two of them started making chocolates together.
At last, they managed to make a delicious batch of chocolate.
Her sister said,
> "I hope your boyfriend likes it!"
---
The next day, a student named Siori felt jealous after seeing many students with boyfriends and girlfriends receiving chocolates.
She muttered angrily:
> "So unfair… they get to have someone, get chocolates, and even get treated…"
Because of the hatred in her heart, Kagelapan sent his energy through the air, targeting people who despised this world.
That energy struck Siori, turning her into a monster called Cokocoko Seijin.

Meanwhile, Mialethra left home carrying chocolates on her way to school.
But suddenly, her sister gasped in shock:
> "Wait! You brought the wrong chocolate! That's the spicy one!!"
Mialethra didn't realize she was carrying the failed batch.
---
Cokocoko started attacking couples, stealing their chocolates and eating them.
At school, Aizakawa's locker was filled with chocolates from his admirers.
As he walked through the corridor, girls kept handing him chocolates—enough to fill an entire shopping bag.
When he got to class and opened his desk drawer, it was already stuffed with chocolates.
Siam approached him and said:
> "Must be nice having so many fans, while I'm treated like a pest."
Aizakawa only gave a small laugh, trying to cheer Siam up.
Later, as usual, Aizakawa and Mialethra gathered on the school rooftop.
Then, Mialethra shyly handed him her chocolate.
> "You made this?" asked Aizakawa.
"Y-Yes," Mialethra answered bashfully.
Aizakawa tasted it… and immediately felt the spiciness.
But seeing her effort, he chuckled softly.
Confused, Mialethra also tasted it herself,
> "Wha—this is the spicy one!!"
Flustered, Mialethra was about to run home to fetch the right chocolate,
but Aizakawa stopped her with a smile,
> "It's fine. You put your heart into it. I still like it."
---
Suddenly, Cokocoko Seijin appeared and snatched Aizakawa's chocolate, eating it right away.
Instantly, Cokocoko burned up from the spiciness and started exploding in pain.
In his mind, Aizakawa thought:
> "What the—our school's only three stories high, including the roof. How the heck did he climb up here?"
Aizakawa took back his chocolate, saying:
> "This is mine. Go find your own!"
Enraged, Cokocoko attacked Aizakawa.
But none of its strikes could land.
Cokocoko roared,
> "Don't move!!"
Aizakawa casually went downstairs, followed by Cokocoko.
He kept eating chocolate calmly.
Cokocoko punched him, but its own arm broke on impact.
Then Aizakawa struck Cokocoko's vital points, forcing it to revert back into Siori.
He absorbed the leftover dark energy from Kagelapan that lingered in her body.

After school, they were suddenly approached by soldiers and a commander.
The commander walked up to Aizakawa and said:
> "Son, would you like to join the military?"
Aizakawa, confused, simply replied,
> "Huh?"
