Au? Like... eating part of your present? Isn't that rude?

[dereban]

Not if I'm giving you permission. You said they were normal, so you have to prove it.

[spacialeyes]

Do you not trust me- [Ah. Right.

She wouldn't.

Yuuto nods and opens the box, selecting a chocolate at random. He seems perfectly fine when eating one of the whisper chocolates. While he's at it, he picks up the chocolate guide paper and hands it to her- but he's too dumb to read it.]

Mm. Tastes normal? Here. These are the flavors.

[dereban]

[ She takes the guide paper and looks it over... ]

Wait, what the-- these aren't normal at all!

[spacialeyes]

What do you mean? They just taste like chocolate?

[dereban]

The effects are meant to be used for sex, you dumbass!

[spacialeyes]

HOW?? [He looks at his hand. what did he just eat???] B-But..! But..! I tried really hard to find something "normal friends" for you..!!

[And he's screwed up!]

[dereban]

[ Inaba pinches the bridge of her nose and sighs, looking at the box to see what exactly he ate... ]

I see now. Well, it's true that the effect would make someone "feel good", but it deals explicitly with arousal. The effects are most likely temporary, so it should pass, at least.

[spacialeyes]

Have I poisoned myself again?! I-I'm so sorry! I wasn't trying to... Ha- Hauuu, I..!

[Yuuto steps back towards the nearest wall.]

What do I do? I-I should leave??

[dereban]

"Again"...?

[...]

You probably shouldn't leave for a bit, actually. With the way it's worded, you might be in trouble if someone randomly tries to talk to you.

[spacialeyes]

I-I'm trying not to make a habit of it, really- Wait.

Talks to me?! [He covers his ears,] Is talking to you going to... AuuuUuuUUu- I really need to leave if you can set it off?!

[dereban]

And what are you going to do if you hear the sounds of strangers? Isn't it better that it's just me?!

[ And she'll tug his ear with a deep frown. ]

[spacialeyes]

[Not his ears! Yuuto makes a strangled whimper of a sound.]

B-But..! Normal, normal! I didn't but these to trouble you!

[dereban]

This is just how things tend to go, so it's fine. I'm not really bothered by it, anyway... I was the one who made you eat it, so I really should be the one apologizing.

[spacialeyes]

I gave them to you in the first place, so... [He sighs.] I'm sorry. Th-the flowers are... I think they're normal..?

[dereban]

Are you feeling okay, though?

[ She does look the flowers over to double check on them as she asks the question. ]

Go and sit on the couch; I'll grab you some water.

[spacialeyes]

Yes… Thank you. [Yuuto awkwardly moves to the couch.

But this is very bad. He doesn’t want to be stuck like this with Inaba, because he knows that he doesn’t need magic chocolates to like her. Sure, the chocolates threaten to make it much different but-

He sighs. Stay cool. Be calm.]

I just can’t listen to voices..?

[dereban]

Basically. I think whispering is more effective for this, but it's possible that me talking normally might also have an effect. I'm not 100% certain; it's just a theory.

[ She goes ahead and grabs two glasses, both pouring cold water into them. ]

[spacialeyes]

Ah… Yes, I did ask for something that would be good for spending a quiet night together… I suppose I’ve ruined that possibility.

[dereban]

When you ask with that phrasing, of course people are going to get the wrong idea.

[spacialeyes]

Mm… I’m not very good at communicating. [Yuuto knows this comes from having interacted with very few people, but it still makes him feel inadequate. He curls slightly on himself and looks away.] How will we know when it’s done? I, um…

[The guilt feels heavier as he admits-]

My body processes poison very slowly… Ugh. I really screwed up…

[dereban]

I wouldn't know. I can try blowing on your ear and see how you feel?

[spacialeyes]

… What if it kills me?

[Socially. He might die of social embarrassment.

Already, just thinking about it, Yuuto feels blush heating his face. He wouldn’t need magic chocolate for that to do something to him.]

[dereban]

You're not going to die, geez. If it gets that bad, go to the bathroom and take care of it.

[spacialeyes]

You don’t have to be so blunt about it- Ugh… Okay. F-Fine. Maybe it’s not affecting me yet…
