“A-are you sure…? You want to give me… this?”
The effect was even better than I had imagined, and I was taken aback.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes were sparkling. The actual twinkling stardust motion was also triggered.
She was holding back her excitement, but it was evident that she was excited. I’ve never seen Ciel-chan like this!
She is usually a bit cynical and contemplative, so this reaction is nothing short of a gap moe.
“Haha… hahaha…. Vivia is so mean, isn’t she? She gave me such a precious thing with a nonchalant face. Isn’t this a little too much love? Well, it’s okay. I’ll take it.”
Ciel-chan beamed with embarrassment.
…Nooooooooooo! I’m dying! I’m going to die in agony!
But while I was fumbling around in my mind, I suddenly came back to myself.
Then, I noticed that one of the twins, Shanta-chan, who was looking around the store feigning ignorance, was glancing at me…!
The expression on her slightly pouted lips is gradually giving way to uncontrollable envy.
Oh, oh, what am I going to do? I had forgotten that Shanta-chan was here. This item must be very appealing to her as well.
There are still some crystals left, and I want to give them to her as well. It isn’t good to treat twins differently, after all, at least when they’re together, right? Right?
If I talk to her, can I also give them to Shanta-chan?
However, as I was about to reach for the balloon icon, Zoe came into my mind and stopped me. Zoe-kun, who moved over to the Shanta faction under the banner of ‘CieVivi party,’ that’s kinda embarrassing to say. Zoe-kun, who works hard every day at fashion check events to increase Shanta-chan’s favorability, and Zoe-kun, who is more desperate for a date with Shanta-chan than anyone else….
Leaving aside Ciel-chan’s results, the only person challenging Shanta-chan, who remains unknown, is probably only a few, if any. Based on the event progression, he is perhaps the closest to having a date with Shanta-chan than anyone else right now….
If I were to give Shanta-chan the Earth crystal now, it might throw off that guaranteed victory for Zoe.
That seemed far more sinister than taking Ciel-chan’s date away from someone I didn’t know.
In the midst of my conflicting feelings, Ciel-chan quickly turned herself around and said,
“I’ll see you later. Let’s go, Shanta.”
Shanta-chan follows her sister’s lead as she leaves the restaurant in response to her words. As she left, she gave me a pointed look.
—After the door closed with a snap, I opened my chat app and sent a message to Zoe.
[If I ever get a chance to give Shanta-chan a present in the future, I will use the Earth Crystal I got. Please keep that in mind.]
What happened to dating rights? Zoe’s feelings?
Who cares. The smile on Shanta’s face is more pressing than Zoe’s victory, which will eventually come.

[Takenaka]
I hate this
I don’t want to do this anymoreee
[Fance]
Ossan is doing well today, isn’t he?
[ayumi♪]
What’s the matter, Chief? (;´・ω・)
[Takenaka]
I’m getting sick of staring at Black Moth
[Pure White]
(I’m still stuck on Black Moth…)
[Letima]
If you’re so tired of it, why not move on to the next step?
[ayumi♪]
Royal Moth-chan, let’s go~ ♪
[Fance]
Hasegawa-chan is a demon
[Pure White]
Be honest, what is the level of your Charm right now?
[Takenaka]
…I
[ayumi♪]
One… (^q^)
[Letima]
You’re too lazy to get off your lazy ass
You need the highest level V to be a Stowbee companion
[Takenaka]
Impossible~~ I’ll never be able to do it~~
You guys know how much I hate bugs~~
[Fance]
It’s what Chief Matoba wants
And it would have been easy if Take-san hadn’t revealed that he had Charm
[Letima]
If you hadn’t bragged about the date so incessantly in the first place, Mato-san wouldn’t have sulked and gone into hiding
Show some sincerity
[ayumi♪]
Chief, please come back~~ (´-ω-`)
We could have aimed a little higher at this event if you were here~~ (´-ω-`)
[Fance]
I thought Mato-san was being unreasonable
Of all things, it’s Stowbee
[Takenaka]
?!
And for me! I fucking hate bugs!
[Letima]
Visually speaking, Stowbee is totally cute
It’s not a bug but a bee-shaped beast
[ayumi♪]
Big Fluffy Honeybee-chan…
I want to bury my face in their stripped, fluffy belly… ( *´艸｀)
[Takenaka]
Yikes, I’m getting chills just thinking about it
I can’t get the legs out of my head
They’re just like anthropoids
[Pure White]
Insect legs are cool and mech-like
[Takenaka]
Even if that’s true, let’s leave Stowbee out of it
It’s torture to have to use Charm on bugs to raise the skill level
I don’t want to see their smitten smile
[syana]
But isn’t Black Moth too hard?
Ladybug or something like that would be more appealing amongst the insect beast
[Letima]
Take hates ladybugs the most
Long ago, he witnessed a large number of ladybugs hibernating behind a leaf, and he’s been traumatized ever since
[Fance]
What about Flame Flies or Snow Wings?
They’re physically smaller, and they’ll do less damage
[Takenaka]
Charm is a self-defense skill, which means it’s useless against those who don’t act hostile
Well, it works for the crowd, but you know what? I’m also trypophobic
[Pure White]
Close your eyes
[Takenaka]
I don’t like the idea of having a bunch of bugs on me
[ayumi♪]
…That’s hard ( ´・ω・)
[Fance]
Are you saying, in a roundabout way, that you’re not coming back?
[Letima]
It’s up to him how he takes it
Mato-san said that Take’s new post depends on Stowbee, but it is up to him to decide how he wants to take it
[Takenaka]
Fuckkkkk
If only… if only I can’t use Charm…
