Salvation equals death

"Chiyo-san, have you ever felt the air that freezes even the space?"

During the lunch break, Chiyo was blocked by Shangming Electric at the end of the corridor. A handsome boy with blond hair folded his arms and trembled, sniffing and asking with a dead face.

"I've seen it." Chiyo recalled the Suyue Frost Creek Sword, a precious treasure of the Ji family, that she had seen for a while many years ago. "The ancient holy key.

But obviously Shangming Denki didn't come to discuss the weapon issue with her, Chiyo thought for a while, and then took out the giri chocolate that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Shang Ming-jun, thank you very much for your care all the time, please give me your advice in the future."

Although the giri chocolates of Neon Nation are gradually evolving into workplace culture, Chiyo’s chocolates are still given to those who can talk on a daily basis. Each piece is marked with a name and a mark, which seems full of sincerity.

Receiving chocolates from girls, even if it's just Giri, is a very happy thing, but at this moment, Shangming Electric just wants to squat in the corner and cry.

"Chiyo-san! I heard 800 million of them say, do you make Honmei chocolate?"

"Huh?" Chiyo didn't get to Shangming Electric's point, but it's not something worth hiding, so she nodded and said, "Yes, but I..."

"Please send out the natal chocolate as soon as possible!" Shangming Electric almost collapsed to the ground, and his face was full of lovelessness, "Otherwise we will all be unbearable! Please help! !"

Chiyo, who was at a loss, walked through the corridor and was about to walk in the direction of the office when he happened to meet Izuku Midoriya and handed him the Giri chocolate.

"Chiyo-san, please send your life out as soon as possible." Lugu blushed and covered his face with chocolate, shyly shrunk his head into his clothes, "Isn't life more important for Valentine's Day or something?!"

Chiyo: "...uh, but I..."

Green Valley: "Please! Please take care of your life!"

Chiyo turned around in a daze, and met Bakugo Katsuki, and when he handed over the Giri chocolate to the other party, he got an extremely angry roar: "You have problems to solve in private, don't implicate others!"

"Banghaojun." Chiyo frowned in some trouble, "Even if you don't say 'thank you', at least don't scold me? This is not good."

"Ah?!" Bakugo Katsuki stared at a pair of rabbit eyes, and shook the icicles from his hair, "Who knows what conspiracy you have! You and that yin and yang face are bastards! There is no good thing!"

"Are you the tsundere heroine of the harem-oriented galgame?" Bakugo Katsumi has always treated the two No.2s badly after the sports festival. I will compromise, I must insist on completing my conspiracy—remember to return the gift with love, or you will be on the chocolate blacklist of all the girls in the school."

"Sine -!!!"

Daily Bullying Bakugo (1/1) has been completed.

Chiyo walked to the door of the classroom office with difficulty, but was stopped by Ashdo Sannai and Urihi Ochako who had just come out of the office, trembling, and also presented a loveless Grape King.

"Chiyo-san! Have you given away your natal chocolate?!"

The three shouted in unison.

Chiyo: "..."

What's the matter with your class A?

It always feels a bit harmonious.

"My life..." Chiyo's eyes wandered, but he quickly smiled, "That kind of thing is not important, come, Mineta-kun, thank you for taking care of me all the time, please give me more advice in the future."

"...Do you even have me?" Mineta Minoru accepted the chocolate with a strange look in his eyes, "If you even have me, you won't forget the most important one, right? Don't say it's not important! It's very important Ah! Human life is at stake!"

"Huh? The most important thing?" Chiyo also didn't get what Minoru Mineta was up to, but quickly took out the exquisitely packaged wooden box, "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget Teacher All Might's share." , considering some factors, the chocolate has been replaced by me with an easy-to-digest chocolate-flavored nutritional pill, there is absolutely no problem!"

The three suddenly felt wronged and shouted: "Who cares about All Might?!"

Chiyo: "..."

Did you say that the whole world belongs to European Kitchen? !You can't do this!Ou Chu is disqualified!

This inexplicable mood lasted until meeting the teacher. Chiyo gave chocolate pills to All Might, who was as skinny as a skeleton and insisted that he was "Sensei Yagi". .

"Chocolate?" Aizawa Shouta stared blankly at the exquisite wooden box handed over by the girl, silent for a while, then suddenly brought up an irrelevant topic, "Jiangguang. "

"Xiongying advocates the school spirit of freedom and does not interfere with students' love affairs."

Chiyo: "...???"

"Has Mr. Aizawa's demonic education affected the mental problems of the students in Class A?" Chiyo sat on the seat with a face full of confusion, opened a beautiful glass bottle, and threw the chocolate ball into her mouth casually.

"It's not Aizawa-sensei's problem at all, is it?" Xin worry slumped on the seat weakly, still looking at the Giri chocolate on his desk with the same sleepy look as Aizawa Yuta.

"...Speaking of which, I heard that you made natal chocolate?"

The smile on Chiyo's face faded a little, but she didn't let worrying people notice it. Instead, she turned her head and said, "What's the matter with you? Everyone is very concerned about my life today?"

"Please be a little self-aware of your popularity and charm after the sports festival." The worrying person is also very powerless to his neighbor, "...So, do you want to send the person of your life?"

The worrying person made his tone a little difficult when he said this sentence, but Chiyo didn't hear it, and he ate chocolate balls happily: "Me."

Worrying: "..."

"Benmei actually means 'different from other chocolates'?" Chiyo shook the glass bottle in her hand, "My guardian said, be kind to yourself."

The glass bottle is very delicate and beautiful, the crystal surface made of glass has a frosted hazy feel, the cork made of pear blossom wood, and the chocolate balls wrapped in aurora-colored sugar paper lie quietly in the bottle, like colorful stars hidden in the clouds. star.

Even though the packaging was opened and the chocolate balls were half eaten, we can still see how hard the person who made them put in the first place.

The worrying person was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Give me one."

"!" Chiyo put the glass bottle away, shaking his head like a hamster about to be robbed of its rations, "No, no, no, I only have one bottle in my heart, and I can't share it at all!"

The worry made me laugh at her bluntness, but I felt that she was so cute. After thinking about it, I didn't think there was any need to force it. According to the other party's usual blunt nerves, I'm afraid she still hasn't gotten the hang of it after graduation.

system:【……】

The system watched horribly, and the worrying gentleman once again played a game of dodgeball with the doggy host.

On Valentine's Day, Chiyo's daily life was the same as before, even more lively than before, so no one noticed her sadness.

Probably it was the time when she grew up in a cage that taught her to entertain herself, so the sadder she was, the more she had to smile. Only when the people around her were happy, could she derive happiness from the smiles of others.

At the end of the day, Chiyo's exoskeleton armor has almost expired. In fact, since the USJ incident, she has often used the exoskeleton armor for transportation, in order to integrate into the group as much as possible, and not let her physical disability cause excessive damage. Now everyone basically forgets that she is an incomplete person—just like Chiyo occasionally forgets that she was once an incomplete soul.

Integrating into this world can fill one's incomplete soul, but after truly understanding what emotion is, it seems that there are more troubles and unhappiness than in the clear and ignorant years.

[So, I don’t quite understand. 】The system racked its brains and couldn't figure out the host's mentality, 【What are you sad about? 】

"I don't know either." Chiyo was holding half a bottle of chocolates, as lost as a lost child, "If I knew why I was sad, I wouldn't be sad."

There is no standard answer to the confusion without questions. Stepping into the sunset, the girl with silver hair and golden eyes was about to walk out of the school against the skylight, but her eyes suddenly went dark.

The boy who was facing the setting sun had an obscure face, his mother's gray-black eyes would look a little sad when they were cold, but the green eyes that belonged to his father would only look sharp and menacing when they were dark.

He is obviously just a boy under the age of 16, but his temperament is extremely aggressive and oppressive, just like his personality, both strong and cold.

Hong Jiaodong looked down at her slightly, Chiyo looked up at him, both of them were silent, so that the air was almost cramped.

In the end, it was Chiyo who broke the tormenting silence. She smiled as usual, and said in a relaxed tone: "Mr. Hong, Happy Valentine's Day, I have been taking care of you for a long time——"

She wanted to say things like "Please give me more advice in the future" as naturally as she did to other people, and then dismissed the matter of Giri Chocolate with the reason of "I can't cause you too much burden", but those who have already prepared the draft Excuses and words were all choked in his throat the moment he saw the boy's expression clearly.

The young man pursed his lips hard, as if a kind of silent forbearance, his eyes were filled with the glow of the setting sun, but his expression at that moment was so sad that he seemed familiar.

Chiyo's mind was blank, and before he could react, he subconsciously reached out and hugged him.

Chiyo suddenly understood that she turned out to be so unbearable-Jianguang Chiyo could endure all harshness and injustice, and could endure her own fate and pain, but she could only endure the scorched grief and sadness.

——His sad eyes will make the part of her called "human" hurt heartbreakingly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry—" Chiyo hugged him at a loss, because she was shorter than the boy, so she could only hug his neck with all her strength, "I was wrong, Mr. Hong, I was wrong—"

Adults pride themselves on being sophisticated, looking forward and backward, taking care of one thing and losing another, far from the drive and courage of young people, so she always thinks too much, so that she makes herself vacillate.

The years for Chiyo to really learn to be a "human being" are quite short. She doesn't know how to be perfect, but the only thing she knows is not to make the one she loves sad.

——"I promise that I will always love what I love, and will never leave it, until death, regardless of birth, old age, sickness or death, regardless of poverty or wealth."

That was the vow she had made under the throne of the God of Light, but she actually ignored his mood because of her own emotions.

But—— Chiyo looked at the distant sky that was reddened by the setting sun through the boy's shoulder.

Life is so short, how can you not be brave?

"...Original chocolate, do you want to accept it?" Chiyo hugged him, and buried her cheek in his arms like a child, "I was prepared, but I saw that Mr. Hong's cupboard was full of chocolates. I took it back on my own initiative. Mr. Hong eats so much chocolate, he will have to be trained when the time comes, and I will go with you."

"...Mmm." Hong Jiaodong responded muffledly, as if he was suppressing his emotions so much that he couldn't speak, even so, he raised his hand and hugged her back, very hard.

As the sun was setting, the young man took her hand and walked on the way home. The last ray of afterglow in the sky stretched their shadows very long, as if ordinary people had a peaceful and happy life.

"Where do you put the chocolate you received? Will it be heavy in your schoolbag? How did you deal with it in the past?"

"...Sister Dongmei said that she should not take it indiscriminately, so she put it in the lost and found, accepted it rationally, and brought it back to Sister Dongmei, and she will prepare a gift of love in return."

"Lost and found... Well, I understand, Mr. Hong is so popular but still single for a reason."

"Don't call me 'Hong Jun'..."

"But wouldn't 'Frozen' sound like calling your hero's name? Well, if you insist—Frozen."

"Frozen."

"Frozen--"

Those loves that cannot be expressed frankly are conveyed to each other's hearts through sweet and bitter chocolates.

The glass bottle held by the young man reflects a kaleidoscope-like mottled and gorgeous light and shadow under the afterglow, exuding a sweet and dreamy atmosphere.

He turned his head to look at the girl beside him, her clear golden eyes were looking at him for a moment, and the soft light was filled with an almost gentle smile.

Love is like chocolate - how transparent is the man who speaks like that?

He was so desperate half an hour ago that he seemed to have returned to the day when the night light was extinguished, but now he was so happy that he seemed to have the whole world.

"Jiao Dong?" She read his name with a smile on her face.

The young man paused slightly, then he turned around without hesitation, held her face in one hand, and kissed the corner of her lips.

——Yes, I heard, the voices of your heart that you failed to say.
