"What an advanced custom! It's very unthinkable in this world.

"Jeanne lived in medieval France. There may have been a Saint Valentine, but I don't think there was a custom of sending chocolates.

　So I took a walk to the market, and sure enough, there it was. However, when I saw the price tag attached to the chocolate, I was shocked.

　But her mouth is already covered with chocolate.

"What about ......?　Why?　The chocolate disappeared on its own. It's so strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It didn't disappear. Jeanne ate it.

　By the way, Eve made a heart-shaped chocolate and drew a picture on it with white chocolate. It is a picture of a maid. They say that the best cooks have a good sense of drawing, and Eve's drawings were quite good. And the taste, too. She not only roasted the chocolate in hot water, but also sprinkled cocoa powder on it. She is indeed the maid of the legendary Léa.
