Episode 15: Valentine's Chocolate
It was nighttime at Mialethra's house. She was busy making chocolate for Aizakawa.
However… she kept failing.
First attempt: the chocolate tasted spicy.
Second attempt: somehow it turned out salty.
Now, on her third try, she was still struggling.
She tasted a small piece—
> "Spicy again?! Ugh!"
Frustrated, Mialethra called her older sister for help, and they started making chocolate together.
Finally, after working side by side, they managed to make a batch of delicious chocolate.
Her sister smiled and said,
> "Hope your boyfriend likes it!"

The next day, a student named Siori felt jealous as she saw other students receiving chocolates and spending time with their lovers.
She grumbled to herself:
> "So unfair… They get chocolates, they have someone by their side, and they even get treated? Disgusting…"
Because of the darkness in her heart, Kagelapan sensed her negativity and sent dark energy into the air.
That energy infected Siori, turning her into a monster called Cokocoko Seijin.

Meanwhile, Mialethra left her house, carrying the chocolate.
But her sister suddenly yelled from the doorway:
> "Wait! You took the wrong one! That's the spicy chocolate!!"
Mialethra didn't realize she had accidentally grabbed her failed batch.
---
Cokocoko Seijin began attacking couples in the city, stealing their chocolates and devouring them one by one.
Elsewhere, Aizakawa was sitting on a bench, waiting patiently.
Mialethra finally arrived and handed him the chocolate box.
> "You made this?" asked Aizakawa.
"Yeah," she answered shyly.
Aizakawa took a bite… and immediately felt the spiciness burn his mouth.
But instead of complaining, he let out a small chuckle.
Mialethra, confused, tried a bite herself—
> "Wha—?! This is the spicy one!!"
Embarrassed, she turned to run home and get the right chocolate,
but Aizakawa gently grabbed her hand and smiled:
> "It's okay. You tried your best. I still love it."
---
Suddenly, Cokocoko Seijin appeared, snatched the chocolate out of Aizakawa's hand, and gobbled it down…
The monster instantly started convulsing, overwhelmed by the spicy flavor, and its body sparked violently.
Aizakawa calmly took the chocolate back and said:
> "That's mine. Get your own."
Furious, Cokocoko attacked Aizakawa.
> "Don't move!!" the monster shouted.
But Aizakawa didn't even flinch—he just continued eating the chocolate casually.
Cokocoko struck him…
But the monster's own hand snapped on impact.
Aizakawa finally countered, precisely striking Cokocoko's vital points.
The monster roared and suddenly reverted back into Siori, the girl who had been corrupted.
Aizakawa then absorbed the leftover dark energy of Kagelapan that remained in Siori's body.
---
Coincidentally, all of this was witnessed by a high-ranking military commander nearby.
He approached Aizakawa and asked:
> "Kid, how would you feel about… joining the military?"
