[Is the chocolate I'm giving to a male friend too much?][43]
(A pic slathered in chocolate all over the body.jpg)
The pic is from last year. I'm going to give it like this this year too; isn't this loyalty, agree?
Pengseuklyeok: This girl doesn't know what friends are, d? Idiot, d?
(829.18): They are friends, though? fwb lol.
Pengseuklyeok: Eh? d slut, d.
(829.18): Ah, how pathetic... Who cares about virginity these days lol.
VirginDetector: Definitely not a virgin.
(829.18): Yep, yep~ So what if I'm not a virgin? lol.
VirginDetector: Blocked.
(829.18): lololol Pfft! Cute, should I give you a chance?
Hmm
Although I frequently used married NTL as material, I was definitely not a unicorn. Honestly, the concept of sex friends was hard to understand.
Of course, Evelyn and I have drawn a line by calling it sex friends.
If we hadnt drawn a line, the world would have ended because Evelyn was too beautiful
But even through the mosaic, the pic girl wasnt at that level.

[The meanings behind the gifts for Lady Elise's Day, all smiles][56]
Chocolate -> I 'love' you or true loyalty.
Candy -> I 'like' you.
Marshmallow -> Don't be sticky.
Macaron -> You are 'special' to me.
Cookie -> I want to be 'friends' with you for a long time.
Baumkuchen -> I wish you happiness.
CatEatingDogFood: But why are chocolates for both loyalty and love? Cookies mean friends too, isn't that overlapping?
(211.209): I don't know?
CatEatingDogFood: Just 'If you don't know, go find out!' lol.
MemoriesOfMorak: ...It's because pretending to be loyal while conveying love, right?
CatEatingDogFood: Oh dd smart.
(124.804): Wow... This person definitely has given chocolate before.
JustSayNiceThings: Really making a fuss lolol Just putting unnecessary meanings into candy bits lolol It's obviously a marketing tactic, and isn't it a waste of life to spend time on such things?
(74.817): (Wasting life debating online with hate comments on the eve of Saint Yuris Day)
(159.178): Elf -> Means you're a 'chicken coop'.
Tenant Farmer Fan: lolololol.
JustSayNiceThings: Your mom's a long dragon.
(211.209): But I heard you shouldn't give chocolate to demons at night.
(137.38): Why??? I'm a demon and this is the first time I'm hearing this?
(211.209): Because the only white thing about them is their teeth, and if even their teeth turn black, you won't see them at night.
(137.38): ...Reported.
AcademyToiletPaperThief: Crazy woman lololol.
Macarons had this meaning? Did I ask for too much?
It felt a bit embarrassing, as if I was confessing to Estelle that I wanted to be someone special to her.
Well, Estelle wouldnt care about this kind of thing anyway.
If she had cared, she wouldnt have asked me what I wanted in the first place.
And as JustSayNiceThings said, it seemed like a marketing tactic considering the average that the costlier the item, the better the meaning.

Not even friend cookies, let alone chocolate, press like lololol.
It was todays top recommended conceptual post.
.
Tadak- Tadak-
Eight Times a Day: If you're not expecting to receive any this year, press like lol.
I've been holding back until now, but I couldn't hold back any longer.
JustSayNiceThings: Idiot lol Knew it. lol.
Eight Times a Day: Ah, I sincerely wish I could receive at least one, please...
JustSayNiceThings: You? lol The one who's only hitting it with a vibrator? lol.
ChildhoodFriendAssault: ...Really sad, man. Should I give you one, admin?
Eight Times a Day: Oh? Really?
ChildhoodFriendAssault: Just kidding, you idiot lololol Why would I give you one lololol.
Eight Times a Day: ...Feel like blocking everyone.
Ha! Why give me Obviously, they would.
Evelyns comment made me chuckle.
15 years of being childhood friends.
Ive never once failed to receive a gift from Evelyn on The Day of Lady Elise.
Of course, Ive received plenty from Evelyn but none from anyone else.
But a gift received is still a gift!
Seeing the gallery users who think Ive never received a gift made me feel a bit superior
-I can control the emotions of the gallery users!-
Theres a good chance Ill actually receive some this year
Estelle definitely said shed give one, Yuris would obviously give one, and since Ive built real trust with Laplace, I think shell give one too.
Thats already four?
If I was lucky enough to get loyalty chocolate or cookies from Anya and Kuolli, that would make six.
Wait Isnt that quite a lot?
Thinking about receiving between four to six gifts on Lady Elises Day, I wondered if I was actually quite handsome
That cant be right.
For nearly ten years, Evelyn has officially described me as an ordinary country youth whose feature was having no distinguishing features.
Sad, but if Evelyn, who loved me, assessed my looks like this
Every other handsome comment was definitely just polite flattery, 100% sure.
The handsome guys are probably going to receive dozens of chocolates tomorrow.
Envious!
So envious!!
How great it would have been if I were handsome too!!!
A sense of inferiority towards those exceptionally handsome surged momentarily
Ah, whats the use of envy when I wont be reborn Lets just go to sleep.
Click-
It was a relief thinking I wasnt too unattractive as I closed the gallery.
Click-! Click-!
Perfect! Miss! Absolutely perfect!
Frederica. Youre too intense.
Ah So, sorry
No, Im not angry. Sorry for making you help out this late. You must have a lot of other things to do
Nonsense! Theres nothing more important to me than you, Miss!
Fredericas desperate management of the Blackdahlia family was all in preparation for the day the Miss would take her rightful place.
Click-! Click-!
Thank you. But why do you keep taking pictures?
For memories! Miss!
What exactly are you commemorating?
These moments with you, Miss!
.
Frederica was overjoyed that the Misss long-closed heart seemed to be opening again.
Does that lucky man even know?
How hard the Miss was trying.
The delicate Miss was still afraid to convey love, so she masked it with specialness
Yet, shes sacrificing her sleep to make macarons, hoping hed somehow notice!
Please!! May he be a good man!! Please!!
For Frederica, only one thing mattered.
Was this person capable of making the Miss happy?
Even if he were a penniless nobody, as long as the Miss of the Blackdahlia family could support him, there would be no problem.
But what if that man turned out to be a scoundrel who hurt the Miss?
Pests must be eliminated.
Click-! Click-!
Fredericas gaze turned icy as she continued to snap photos.
She would never forgive anyone who caused the Miss to shed tears for any reason other than joy.
Frederica. Can we stop the commemoration now?
Ah! Uh Yes, understood
Thank you.
No, I should be the one thanking you But, Miss? Doesnt it seem like your heart isnt in it?
Heart?
The Miss was stirring the dough with a seriously focused expression, yet to Frederica, it appeared merely serious.
Yes! The heart! If you just follow the recipe, how is it different from store-bought goods? Whats important in homemade cooking is putting your heart into it!!
But Frederica. Youre terrible at cooking.
Despite holding 17 different positions, including head maid, Frederica was specifically not the cook for a reason.
Ugh!! That, thats because I put too much heart into it Anyway, you need to put your heart into it! This is certain!!
And how do you put your heart into it?
Its simple! Imagine him in your mind and continuously call his name in your heart while you stir the dough!
Got it.
Swoosh- Swoosh-
.
Then, the corners of the Misss mouth began to rise slightly as she initially stirred the dough expressionlessly.
Ah!
Just from that expression alone, it was clear how deeply in love the Miss was.
Frederica wished she could capture this moment with her camera immediately
But she restrained herself, fearing it might disrupt Misss concentration.
Grrr!! Please!! May he recognize Misss feelings. No! Accept them!!
Given Misss personality, she wouldnt even properly speak to someone she wasnt interested in.
And yet, to give a gift on Lady Elises Day?
And homemade macarons at that?
Anyone with a bit of sense would realize Miss was in love with them.
Ian.
.!!
Was it a slip of the tongue due to being too focused?
A small but definite male name escaped Misss lips.
Sorry, Miss, for eavesdropping!!But Ian!! Ill definitely remember it!!
It was the moment Ians name was added to Fredericas mental checklist.
