Epilogue: Lovestruck Girls and Chocolate

[Semiramis]

At last, the Gardens are back to their usual quiet.

Although the smell of chocolate continues to linger...

Mm. A bird... what is it?

You found this single piece of chocolate left lying behind the throne, you say?

Really, those people were poor at tying things up.

I'll have to punish them when we next meet.

...But what should I do with this?

I don't feel like eating it, but throwing it away feels wrong.

Wait— that's right.

Now that I think about it, I felt like this about the first piece I made as well.

Why did I want to make the ultimate, greatest chocolate in the first place?

Even it was because of my pride as the Queen of Poison, what was I planning to do with the ultimate chocolate once I'd made it...?

...I can't remember.

Well, if I can't remember it, then it must not have held much importance at all.

Hm?

[Amakusa]

Oh? I was just taking a walk...

What a coincidental meeting, Assassin — Semiramis.

[Semiramis]

......

Indeed, quite a coincidence.

I feel as if I've met you somewhere before.

And strangely enough, I have just this one piece of chocolate left which has yet to be discarded.

I'll give it to you.

You'd do well to accept it gratefully, and eat it.

If you refuse, I'll kill you.

[Amakusa]

Haha, I don't want to be killed.

Let me gratefully accept that chocolate.

[Semiramis]

That's good.

Yes — that's good.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but not a word about this is to be said to anyone.

Even if it was only the product of a chance meeting and my benevolent whim, if other men were to find out that I, the Queen, had given you chocolate directly, you would be torn from limb to limb.

[Amakusa]

That sounds scary.

I'll be careful.

[Semiramis]

...Well, then. I have things I should be doing.

[Amakusa]

I wonder if we'll meet again?

[Semiramis]

...What?

[Amakusa]

Now that I've accepted your chocolate, I owe you a return gift.

[Semiramis]

...How would I know whether or not we'll meet again?

[Amakusa]

Oh? But I heard you earlier.

Didn't you say that you might respond to our Master's summons sometime?

Even if it's only one chance in a hundred, or a thousand.

It's not impossible that we could meet by coincidence like this again, is it?

[Semiramis]

...Indeed, I've left myself in their debt over this incident.

So I suppose there's no help for it—

No, wait, if you already knew that then don't ask me.

It all depends on whether or not that man calls for me!

[Amakusa]

Haha, indeed. That was a foolish question.

[Semiramis]

Hmph. Farewell, then—

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, who I'm meeting for the first time.

[Amakusa]

Yes... See you.

Semiramis, who I'm meeting for the first time.

[Semiramis]

Like I said, I don't know if I'll see you again.

Really...

(scene changes to chaldea)

[???]

...pai, Senpai.

[???]

Fou.

> Yeah, yeah...

-> I'm sick of chocolate already...

[???]

He's having a nightmare...

I guess this timing is...

But...

-> ...?

[Mashu]

Ah, g-good morning, Senpai!

[Fou]

Fou, fou!

> Good morning, Mashu, Fou.

-> What's going on this early?

[Mashu]

I'm sorry.

I know this is thoughtless, and that you're tired, but—

Today is a special day.

And also, I wanted to give you mine before anyone else did, so...

...Ahem, ahem.

SENPAI!

-> Y-yes?

[Mashu]

Here... these chocolates are my thanks for everyday.

Would you accept them?

Um, I know there's a chance you might not even feel like looking at chocolates anymore now...

No, actually, based on your mumblings earlier, that's probably the case, so...

......

I'm sorry. Please forget all of that.

I got all carried away alone...

-> No, I'm happy to get chocolates from you, Mashu!

> —Please let me accept them.

[Mashu]

R-really? That's great!

That's really... great...

(you get choco)

-> It looks delicious.

> It looks really pretty.

[Mashu]

Chaldea's now overflowing with chocolate from this incident, but that chocolate I gave you isn't one of those.

I put all my effort into helping to clean up, and got only the highest grade of ingredients to make that chocolate with.

It's meant for Senpai, so I wanted to make sure it's special and tastes good...

Um, so, I think you'll like it!

If you don't mind, please tell me next time about how it tasted...!

With that!

Mashu Kyrielight is returning to her duties!

-> Then, it's time... to try one.

-> ...!

-> Hey, Fou.

[Fou]

?

-> It's said that things can so delicious they're poisonous. Is that true?

[Fou]

Fouu?

Pigeon Report, Final

The girls' annual grand (poisoning) mission has ended safely—

CE: Stranger Almond

Received from Mashu for Valentine's.

Made by piling almonds and strawberries abundantly on top of a white chocolate cake.

The gorgeous appearance and soft sponge cake inside speak of great improvements from the previous time.

"I-I haven't let anyone else take a slice yet.
