This causes Izumi to worry a little himself about how hell be wrapping Kyoukos gift.
One of Honokas classmates notices her Valentines enthusiasm and takes her aside in the hall.
But turns out she likes Shuu.

Honoka isnt surewhythis girl likes Shuu, but shell help in any way she can.
That includes hiding behind Izumi as she asks him directly what kind of chocolates he likes.
Mistaking her query for the prospect of Honoka giving him chocolates, he says anything will do.

Sakura, however, isnt ambiguous.
She likes the taste of Izumis chocolate.
Its not too sweet, and has a touch of bitterness.

In fact, it reminds Sakura of Kyouko.
So theres no way Izumi wont like it.
Itsexactlythe kind of dessert Kyouko likes best, and she rewards him with some truly wonderful expressions.

When Kyouko self-critically presentsherValentine to Izumi, hes not bothered in the slightest that its not in pretty packaging.
On the contrary, the fact its on Hori family plates puts him at ease.
There was never any need to worry!

Little does she know she could have also asked him out and hed have said yes!
She wouldnt want anyone else giving Kyouko her chocolate.
So instead, she offers to accept it instead so it wont go to waste.
In exchange, she gives her classmate some obligatory chocolate.
But her classmate tells her its not oligatory chocolate; itsfriendshipchocolate.
Now, if only we knew this nice girlsname!
