Chapter 18: Valentine's Day Great War (Three)

  After a heap of heartfelt praise, Tom gazed at the beautiful girl in front of him with focused eyes, who was leaning on the desk with a bored face, counting the feathers on her goose quill pen, revealing the most charming smile and said in a sincere tone:

  "Miss Harris, would you go out with me?"

  Alicia didn't say a word in response; she simply pointed with her pen at a stack of papers on the left corner of the desk.

  Tom picked one up curiously. The paper was hard and thicker than usual, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a card. All that was written on it was: "I'm glad you have feelings for me, but I don't think we're suitable for each other, sorry. You're a good person, I believe you can find a girl who likes you better than me."

  After Tom left with a puzzled face, Sophia walked over and chuckled: "How many is this now?"

  "Except for a few boys who will definitely get chocolate, almost everyone has come."

  "It's almost the same here. It looks like a unified action by the boys, doesn't it? Not surprising, after all, tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Sophia picked up a card and took a glance, her beautiful face suddenly turning into a distorted shape. "Hey, although you're giving out good person cards, isn't this a bit too much for the boys? Are you really a girl?"

  "You've taken a bath with me before..."

  "Never mind." Sophia waved her hand to signal the end of the topic. "By the way, who are you planning to give the chocolate to?"

  "Prepare a reasonable one for Ilya." Eriol replied carelessly, "Anyway, it's also convenient."

  "Indeed." Sophia nodded, "Then why not send Fabiano?"

  "Do you want to trigger World War?"

  Staring at each other, Fabiano's innocent expression and Cecilia's "you dare to confess, I'll make you regret it" face, both of them looked embarrassed for a moment.

  At this time, classmate Soy Sauce A walked over and encouraged Sophia to say: "That, Hartland Miss, I'd like to make a presumptuous request..."

  "You want to go out with me?" Sophia smiled and handed over the card in her hand.

  Then soy sauce man A left with convulsions.

  "Who was it that just said this method is a bit too much for guys?" Elisia looked at the abdomen with contempt, half covering her mouth and laughing.

  "Has anyone ever said that? This is obviously the most convenient and effective method, it should be vigorously promoted!"

  You can go ahead and resist the Black Dragon's Dragon Breath now, big sister. I guarantee that no matter how hard the Black Dragon tries, it won't be able to break through your defensive face even if it vomits blood.

  "Sophia suddenly put on a pitiful look and said to the little loli, 'Do you want me, a weak female lawyer, to pull the hatred of Deathwing? Can you really bear to be so cruel?'"

  "Sophia, you actually know how to read minds, right? And also, you just jumped channels."

  "Soy Sauce Boy B suddenly appeared: 'Miss Harris, may I have the pleasure of your company?'"

  "Ah, shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Can't you guys just calm down for once? Do you want me to make holes in your bodies?"

  Sophia picked up a card from the table and sent away the soy sauce man B: "Erichiya, it was actually you who strung up the stage..."

  ================================I am a divider line================================

  After school, in the Activities Department room where Wan Nian Da Jiang You was held, Eriol Quarta sipped red tea and savored sweets, thoroughly relaxing her mind and body as she enjoyed the rare peace and quiet.

  "Alicia, will you go out with me?" a sudden male voice said.

  With a crisp sound, the elegant girl's beautiful manga-style glass-like appearance shattered all over the ground.

  The little loli subconsciously grabbed a good person card and threw it at the man, but stopped halfway. Then, she was stimulated to react slowly for half a beat, and she "puffed" out the red tea in her mouth onto the source of the sound - Ilya, who was wet all over his head and face.

  "Ilya, are you kidding me?!" Eriol was shocked and didn't even have time to apologize.

  "I'm not joking." Ilya said with a serious face.

  "Uh, honestly, Ilya, didn't you also participate in today's action with the guys?"

  Ilya asked strangely: "Is there any action today? Is it martial arts training?"

  Eriol was silent for a moment, then glanced at Misha beside her who looked bewildered and had no idea what was going on. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her: "So, Ilyia, why do you want to be in a relationship with me?"

  "Because I heard Batru say that if you talk to girls like this, they might give you the chocolates they're offering." Ilya still had a completely serious expression without any hint of joking.

  "What are you planning to do with that many chocolates?" Eriol asked with a puzzled expression, having already guessed the general idea.

  "Of course I'm going to eat it. That Bastard won't let me have lunch tomorrow. It's really strange, I didn't even provoke him."

  Just sitting in this room has already annoyed most people...

  "Alright, I promise you that tomorrow you'll definitely get to eat the chocolate I send. Eliya said with a sly smile, "It seems like even this way you won't be full, so why not go ask Sophia and the others for more?"

  "Wait!!" Li Hua yelled loudly as she tried to jump up, but was quickly flipped onto the ground by Xiao Luoli.

  Ilya indeed fell for it, and he subsequently entrusted Sophia, Khasi, Michelle, and Cecilia one after another. He didn't look for Yue Ge, that's because the elves don't have this custom; as for why he didn't look for Li Hua Yin... it can only be attributed to intuition.

  "How can I miss out on something so much fun? Alright, I promise." This was Sophia's reply.

  "This doesn't seem quite right, does it? But don't worry, I'll bring you chocolates tomorrow." This is from Chaxi.

  "Although I don't know what dating means, but I will definitely give Elijah chocolate tomorrow." This was Michelle's reply with a red face that made Xiao Luoli speechless.

  "I know it's some people's prank, but I still want to say: sorry, I refuse. And except for Xiao Fa, I won't give any male student chocolates." Of course, this is Cecilia.

  "Alright, Hua Yin, you come and explain to these two what socializing is." Eriol slapped Li Hua Yin who was lying on the ground.

  "What is referred to as 'interaction' is the comprehensive term for various behaviors between male and female roles, with the premise of becoming lovers, through daily meetings, chatting, exchanging gifts, going out on dates, triggering events, etc. to increase each other's intimacy value and favorability. Be sure to save your progress before triggering events that can greatly increase favorability!!"

  "This draft is unacceptable, take it back and rewrite! Also, your bonus for this month is gone."

  Although the explanation was very two-dimensional, and the good feeling at the end was an unknown existence, Ilya and Michelle still understood a big prerequisite for getting along: becoming lovers.

  Ilya was stunned for half a minute before suddenly jumping up: "Ahh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!?"

  "Come on, Ilya." Sophia said with a smile covering her mouth. "Both Eliya and I have agreed already, and there's also Misha who replied vaguely over here. Are you going to choose one or take all three of the (Divine Beast) Palaces?"

  Ilya nearby has petrified.

  "So, Misha, do you understand now?" Eriol walked up to the stunned girl with a sly smile and said, "Your previous response definitely won't do, give Ilya another response!"

  Everyone was emitting thick steam, looking like they were about to overload and break down at any moment. The little loli suddenly felt that she had gone a bit too far. Just as Eriol was thinking of finding an excuse to leave, Misha suddenly clenched her fists and raised her head, shouting loudly:

  "Even if my opponent is Sophia and Elly's sister, I won't lose! Illya, I...I like you! I want to go out with you!!"

  Throwing flowers...

  Then this weak and natural fool stared at Ilya in amazement and then dove headfirst into the sofa.

  "Go on, what are you waiting for?" Elisha patted Ilya's waist and said, "Take Michelle out for a spin and have a good chat. Or did you take the joke between me and Sophia seriously?"

  After the two people with red faces left the room one after another (Eriol: Hold hands, you stupid couple!), Little Lori came to Sophia's side: "You saw that Misha liked Ilya from early on, right?"

  "Yes, after all, we're in the same dormitory."

  "With those two's personalities, who knows how long it would take if they didn't get a push. Ilya really came up with something good this time. But I'm surprised you're also here to help out - didn't think you cared that much about friends."

  "No, I just think it's fun."

  "I knew I shouldn't have praised you..."

  Erihicha turned around to continue drinking tea, only to see Li Hua Yin beside her biting her handkerchief with tears in her eyes and a face full of unbearable sadness. She went over to comfort her, patting her on the back and saying: "It's okay, that's also for their own good. Don't look like an old man whose wife has run away, or you'll age prematurely."

  "What's wrong, I was just sighing that it's really impossible to keep a mistress." Li Hua smoothly hugged Eliya and said with a nose full of tears, "Little Eliya, you are my true wife!"

  The little loli snatched Li Hua's handkerchief without hesitation and wiped her tears and snot all over her face.

  I am a divider line

  After dinner, the main members of the Soy Sauce Department who passed by decided to return to their dormitory to rest.

  Contrary to everyone's expectations, the girls' dormitory was extremely lively at this time. The road in front of the entrance was filled with first-year students from the Martial Arts Department and the Magic Department running back and forth, if it weren't for Marlene Joseci standing like a frozen ice witch at the gate, and there were several lifelike human-shaped ice sculptures in front of her - sorry, those poor guys would have been directly hit by advanced ice magic and probably would have rushed in.

  There is such a dormitory administrator teacher who is really unfortunate for boys...

  "What are they doing?" Just as Xie's words fell, someone nearby gave an answer.

  Only to see a classmate, Joey, holding up a plum blossom that had been picked from who-knows-where, blocking the path of a girl with deep purple long hair, tall and slender figure, elegant and beautiful appearance, wearing a winter uniform and green pleated skirt, carrying a wooden sword in her hand: "Hello, senior. Your beauty is like the stars in the night sky, making me drunk. Your temperament is like the snow-capped mountains on the highlands, making me admire you. I must confess here, I am deeply attracted to you. May I ask if you can accept my sudden and sincere request, can we be together?"

  "Although I'm in third grade, I don't mind your confession. However, if you want me to accept, you must win against my wooden sword first. First grader, do you have the confidence?"

  "Sister, sorry to disturb you..."

  What a melodramatic plot and magical development! The little loli next to me is almost petrified.

  "Hey! Don't think I won't recognize you just because there's no name written! Why is it that this newcomer, Doumeki, who even if he were to confess would be too out of the blue, is confessing to Dokushima Akane-senpai at a time like this?! You're writing without any outline, aren't you? Just going with your feelings and writing whatever comes to mind!"

  Why don't you exchange the item first and then come back to complain...

  Erichiya's collection now has another famous sword: Masamune. This is an indestructible weapon, and it has a very high damage bonus against undead, demons, abyssals, and other evil creatures. Although it doesn't have the effect of increasing fighting spirit or magic power, its incredible indestructibility is enough to rival everything else. However, since this weapon comes from "Kaze no Stigma", it's... made of wood...

  This is absolutely not petty revenge! Absolutely not!

  Watching Du Yidao Xuejie's elegant figure beautifully repel a group of "confessors", it wasn't until they entered the dormitory building that Ailisiya and others remembered to go in.

  Although it looks safe now, even if it's just to make up for the number of words, that soul won't let us go back so peacefully, will he? I know this guy too well.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a martial arts student with a big bouquet of flowers and a hopeful yet nervous face walked towards them.

  He is as handsome as Taneda-san riding a warhorse with his upper body exposed; He is as dashing as Toga Himiko and Ariya single-handedly taking down the enemy while cooking tempura on the side like Tohya Kouji of Far Mountain; He is as refined as Sakurai Chihaya dressed up in formal attire attending a ball; He is as wealthy as Rindou Sora with 100 million yen cash tucked away in his chest.

  No, he is the killer of all girls in the world, the sweetheart of older sisters, the brother of lolita, the embodiment of love and justice…… Sorry, I am talking about the initiator of this time's unscrupulous event - Batoru, who has nothing to do with those mentioned before.

  Between flying and peaceful resolution, Eriol was watched by the dormitory administrator teacher, so she decided to pretend to be a good baby, so she chose the latter. The little loli's good person card shines again.

  Just before Alicia was about to send out her card, Batoru had already appeared in front of her.

  Who could it be? It's impossible for Yue Ge. Then, Sofia? Qi Xi? Cecilie? Michelle? Or... the unfortunate me once again?

  Bartolomeo knelt down elegantly, presenting the flowers: "I've been waiting for you here for a long time, my goddess. To me, you are the sun in winter, warming up this lonely heart of mine. I find myself unable to leave you anymore, and my eyes can't accommodate anything else except your figure. Please give me a chance to feel the warmth of the sun, will you go out with me?"

  So far everything has been going smoothly. The flowers, the praise and the pose are all in place, paired with precious diamonds, it would be believable if someone said this was a proposal.

  Provided that Balthazar didn't say what came next...

  Just as Eliysha was quietly pulling Michelle back, Sofia had moved a few steps to the side without leaving any marks, and Khacy and Cecilia were covered in sweat, Batur's last words came out freshly:

  "What's your intention? I'm expecting a good response, Miss Li Hua Yin."

  The little loli's good person card scattered all over the floor, Sophia almost fell over, Michelle was beaming with joy for her friend, Kracie's mouth was agape as if it was about to dislocate, and Cecilia looked like she had eaten a special deep-sea chocolate from yesterday. Yuetong didn't have any intense reaction, but your mouth corners were twitching, ah big sister!

  As for the parties involved, Li Hua suddenly knelt down beside Eriol after a brief petrification and hugged her little legs, crying: "Waa~ Little Eriol, you have to believe me, I really didn't wrong you!"

  "Can't you give me a serious response at times like these?!" Eriol tried to shake off Li Hua Yin, who refused to let go, with a standard "chaste and noble lady" expression - this really doesn't suit you!

  Poor Balthazar, he chose Li Hua Yin after giving up on the impossible few girls and Cecilia who already had a master. Then, very fortunately stepped on a super-large landmine.

  "What the heck do you think you are?!?" Lee Hua-yin, who had just been kicked flying by Little Loli and turned dark, was desperately shaking his fist at Bartolo. "Go take a good look at your face in the septic tank and have some self-awareness! Don't even think about getting chocolate from me, that's for little Aili! The affection between us is eternal and unerasable, you lowly toad can't possibly get in our way!"

  As Li Hua's words became more and more absurd, Batelus gazed at the two with increasingly ambiguous eyes. Eriol finally couldn't bear it anymore and pulled out a sword from her spatial bracelet, taking a deep breath...

  “Ex——calibur！”

  Li Hua's sound was blown away, along with Bate Luo in front of her, directly drawing a beautiful arc in the sky. If the landing point of this arc were not the distant lake surface but a small flag hole somewhere, what a wonderful shot it would be...

  According to a special survey by "Secret Garden" after the event, this day set a record for the most number of boys confessing in one day since Hope Garden was established.

  At the same time, it also created another record: the lowest confession success rate record - except for Ilya, who was suspected of having a halo, everyone else's success rate was zero...

  Anyway, life is still going on as usual without much change. Congratulations and celebrations are in order.
