In the kitchen of the house adjacent to the medical office in the corner of the Symphonia royal capital, the landlord, Fea, had a troubled expression on his face.

''What's wrong, Fear?　I'm not expressing myself very well, but...
No, it's funny, right?　This is my house, right?　Why do you wear an apron and cook like it's natural?
No, it's not an apron, it's a cover-up.
Well that's not the point!

　Noin, dressed in a kappo suit, is cooking for tomorrow's Valentine's Day, and for some reason, Fea lets out a sigh when she has to rent the kitchen at her house.

''Well you could have made it at home,''
"...haha...you're embarrassing me...

　Noin lives in Crom'eina's house with many of her family, and seems embarrassed to make Valentine's Day sweets there, thus cooking at Fea's house.
　Fea has reconciled with Crom Eina, but continues to practice medicine in the Kingdom of Symphonia and lives apart from her family.
　It was an easy environment for Noin, his best friend, to use, and Fea knew that, or perhaps she didn't complain too strongly about it.

''........So, what are you making, Hikari?　Chocolate....not....chocolate, right?
'What?　Yes, I make o-hagi because I don't know much about chokorei and ... western sweets.
Ohagi?　It's not the same as a manjoo?
Yeah, not exactly.

　Since Noin prefers eating Japanese sweets, he doesn't know much about western sweets and doesn't have the confidence to make something delicious.
　For that reason, he is making the Japanese sweets he is accustomed to making......................o-hagi as a Valentine's Day present.
　On the contrary, Fea only knows a little about Japanese sweets from hearing about them from Noin, so she watched the making of the o-hagi with interest.

　As it was, after watching the work for a while, Feer also picked up some ingredients and started to cook them.

''........What are you making, Fea?''
Yeah?　It's an herbal cookie.
Aren't you sure it's not Choko Reito?
Oh, yeah. I'm sure Miyama-kun will get lots of chocolates and he'll try to eat them because they're so sweet. That's why I'm thinking of making some herb cookies that are mildly sweet and gentle on the stomach.

　While proceeding to cook deftly........no, while almost dropping the container with the customary screw-up from time to time, Fea makes the herb cookies to present to Kaito.
　The selection of sweets that took into account the fact that Kaijin would receive a lot of chocolates, and while watching the way he carefully finishes each one, Noin smiles calmly.

'.........You think about Kaito-san a lot, don't you?
Sure, sure. Of course, of course I'll think long and hard about the man I love.
I love you, I love you, it's that simple...
Yeah?　Did I say something funny?

　Noin's more than a little embarrassed to ask Fea, who mentions that she likes pleasant people as a matter of course, but Fea, who was asked, tilts her head curiously.

''I, no, such an imposing.......aren't you ashamed?''
Why?　I like and love you, Miyama-kun, okay?　I don't think that feeling is anything to be ashamed of.
Well, I suppose that's true, but...
Hmmm. Hikari is shy, you know.......if that's the case, I'll monopolize Miyama-kun, won't I?
'What?　No, no!
"Mmm-hmm.
Oh no, I mean...

　Noin reacts hurriedly to Fea, who tells him in a mockery, and immediately turns his face down, as if he's embarrassed by what he said.
　While looking at the situation with a smile, Fea puts the cookies in the oven and begins to bake them.

''........Well, expressions of affection are different for each person. I love Miyama-kun, and I want to express that feeling a lot, so I don't feel embarrassed to say that I love him.
Nah, I see... Fear is, well, awesome.
Oh, really?　I guess I'm just being simple.
'Oh, that may be true,'
You're not going to deny me that... well, well, Hikari should just be Hikari and tell Miyama-kun how much you like him.

　It's a good thing that you have a lot of time and money to spend on your own.
　It is because they know that, that they can talk to each other about the same love interest like this.

I'm just the way I am........
Mmm-hmm.
I don't know, Fear is looking cooler than usual today.
Oh, really?　

　When Noin told her how cool she was, Fea scratched her cheeks, a little embarrassed, and almost moved to make a cup of tea...............................as usual, she caught her foot on the table and fell down with a flourish.

''Ah........ouch.......''
I mean, you know, he's still the same old screw-up, isn't he?
"Ugh, I don't even like screwing up...
Well, that's just the way Fear is, isn't it!
'What?　Do you think it's in my nature to screw up?　I don't know, I don't know...
You won't bake cookies all over Mr. Kaijin, will you?
"Yeah, it's okay... well, if you keep it magically afloat, the cookies won't fall off if it falls over...


　Noin smiles and chuckles as he looks at Fea, whose face is hitting the floor and tears are in her eyes.

''........Hikari, you're definitely making fun of me, right?
No, I'm relieved to see you're still out of it.
Mmmmmm... no, it's okay!　If you say that, it's because I have an idea!
"Ideas?
This.........letter that Hikari wrote and rejected before.......to Miyama-kun....
'What?　Why do you have that?　It's an invasion of privacy!
'Somebody made it look like a dating service in someone's home and then left without cleaning up the mess, so I have it?
''Ugh ... well, I'm very sorry about that ...''

　At Fear's words, Noin averts his gaze, saying that he's been hit in a sore spot.

　It's because they are best friends, and that's why they speak lightly to each other.
