13th day of the month of the tree. With Valentine's Day coming up tomorrow, many women are making chocolates today.
　And in a certain kitchen, three women were also working on making chocolate.

Mmmm.....
After all, Eta is crass. You can't give your master that kind of wasteful chocolate.......no. I'll make more.
Kuh-uh Sita, you. Just because you're a good cook doesn't mean you can't be a good...
No, no. Not a little. I'm a 'vastly' better cook than Eta. That's a simple fact.
Ggghhhh...

　Eta gets a blue streak on her forehead as Sita speaks provocatively... but since she is in the position of being taught, she can't complain too much and twists her mouth.
　Theta's side seems to enjoy the situation that Eta rarely disobeys, and a nasty smile is on her face.

'It's wrong that you're struggling right before in the first place. You should have practiced earlier. Eta doesn't even have a plan.''
I'm sorry, let me make it again...
Sir.
...what?
'There's a certain attitude when people teach you things. Teach me, teacher... right?
This guy..... like a fish in water...

　Eta stares at Sita, who is grinning and smiling, while gritting her teeth, but.....In fact, if Sita doesn't teach you, you can't make chocolate properly on her own.
　You can also find a number of different types of chocolates in the market.


Good.
'd*mn you ... remember ...'
What did you say?
It's nothing.

　Looking at Eta, who tells her in frustration, Sita nods in satisfaction and resumes cooking.
　Eta suppresses her humiliation with her feelings for the pleasant man and begs for a lesson in shame... but she's already on the verge of snapping, and she can't last that long... for the umpteenth time, she's warned with a venom laced tone of voice, and .........

'I can't take this, I can't take this anymore!　If people get out poorly, you'll get on a roll... get out there, Theta!
Excellent.

　Immediately a fight broke out and each of them took out a spear and shield..........but don't forget. That there are 'three' people working here........

''Don't be reduced and can't talk--Ick!
"Ta-da!
That's enough, you idiots!
"Oh, Squire Anima...

　Anima hits Eta and Theta in the head with a fast genkotsu and releases an angry voice that makes the air shake.
　Pressured by the rage, they kneel down in front of Anima while holding their beaten heads.

''We're making a gift for our master and you guys don't have enough sense to be his followers!
Yes. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
''Totally........Eta, you know best how venomous Sita is. Don't be a brawler at every turn!
Yes, sir.
'Sita, you don't teach with every provocation either. If you're going to teach, do it well!
Okay, I understand.

　Anima scolds them and then gives them instructions before returning to her own cooking.
　Seeing their rear end, Eta and Theta look at each other...................and then look at each other again.

'.........Eta. Um, sorry.
'No, I was the one with a temper. I need your guidance.
Yeah. I've got it.

　Eta and Theta were quick to fight and quick to make up.
　As they made up and smiled at each other, Anima smiled softly with a side glance as she watched them start cooking again.

''Come to think of it, is Squire Anima good at cooking too?''
No, I'm rather unskilled at this.
Well that's true but it's very........crafty.
Well, Master Zeke has been very good to me. I've been preparing for this.

　Anima has been learning to cook for Valentine's Day from her good friend Sieglinde for several months now.
　Anima's greatest strength is her honesty, and she's become quite good at making chocolate by practicing hard even when she isn't very good at it.

　Then suddenly, as if remembering something, Anima turns to Eta and smiles at her.

''Well, in that regard.......the day before - Sita's words about it have a point.
Uggh, or I'm at a loss for words.
'Hmmm, if Sita is going to be late in making her own chocolate, give her a shout so she can take over the teaching herself.
'Yes. Thank you.
'Eta's not a bad plotter, either. You could try to take each task a little more carefully.
Ha!

　She has been Kaito's squire for several years now. Anima has firmly demonstrated her hardworking side and is now a fine organizer, and Kaijin relies on her, and she is truly proud of that.
　That's why, even now that she's married to Kaito, she's going to call him "master" and continue to be a squire.

　But if you look at the big heart chocolates she is making now, it's easy to imagine that the thoughts in Anima's heart far exceed the framework of master and servant, and she herself is aware of this.

''Even so, since you're the master who laughs at it and says you're happy about it... I don't have to hide these passing thoughts, though.
"...what?　Chief Anima?　What did you say?
No I have a regular job to do, so we'll make it quick.
"Yes!

　The words she muttered, fortunately, didn't seem to be heard 'by the two of them', and Anima resumed cooking with a slight blush on her face.

　 He walked away from the scene.
　His mouth was smiling happily, though he wouldn't have noticed it.....
