Chocolate Panic Translation Chapter 6

Chapter 6: The Price for Sweetness
Ritsu: Haah, haah......We've managed made our escape, I suppose?

Mio: Thanks for giving us a place to hide ourselves, Cork.

Cork: You don't have to thank me for this. More importantly, who exactly are you hiding from?

Mio: Well, actually, we've been chased around by a horde of people a while ago......

Cork: .......? There's this really pleasant scent coming from you, Mio. Maybe this is why.

Mio: Eh, does this have something to do with our situation?

Cork: I'd like to smell it more. Sniff, sniff.

Mio: C-Cork......Your face's getting rather close.

Cork: Sniff, sniff. Sniff, sniff. ......Mio, you are......

Ritsu: Eh? She's behaving the same as that time with Azusa......?

Mio: Eh, hold up, Cork? Don't tell me, you too......

Cork: Sniff, sniff. I knew it. ......I understand what's been troubling you now, Mio.

Mio: Eh?

Cork: Worry not. I'm apparently immune to the effects of that scent after all.

Mio: Eh? Eh? What do you mean?

Cork: Mio, didn't you eat a chocolate with an incredibly sweet scent?

Mio: Y-Yeah, I did.......

Cork: I'm certain that's the cause of it.

Mio: That piece of chocolate is?

(Transition)

Mio: Mugi said it too, that it's a chocolate which makes someone popular, and this chocolate really has been circulating around town.

Ritsu: Not to mention, we never thought it'd be this potent......

Cork: As one eats it, they'll begin to give out a sweet scent, which is a unique pheromone.

Cork: That pheromone has the effect of attracting other people, so that's why you'd get popular after eating it.

TL: Pheromone is a type of chemical substance which triggers a social response in members of the same species - Wikipedia. The type of pheromone Cork is talking about is referred to as sex pheromones. わあ、勉強になりますねぇ.

Mio: Popular you say......

Ritsu: So the weird vibes coming off from Azusa and the fan girls are all caused by that pheromone huh.

Cork: I once sold some of that chocolate here in my shop, so I was able to recognise it as soon as I smelled her scent.

Mio: Speaking of which, how come you're fine, Cork? Also you too Ritsu, you're behaving normally too.

Cork: Precisely speaking, the potency of a pheromone on someone increases with the feelings of adoration and aspiration within that person.

Cork: Thus it'd only have an effect on people who bear such feelings towards Mio in the first place.

Ritsu: Ahh. And Mio and I are different from that after all.

Cork: But for Mio's fans, I believe those feelings of theirs must have been amplified.

Ritsu: And for Azusa, she also adored Mio to begin with......

Mio: In any case, this is somewhat embarrassing......

Cork: Yet, I'm certain that chocolate was withdrawn immediately, but I never thought there's still a piece remaining.

Mio: And moreover, that sort of thing would be gifted to me in the end.

Cork: That chocolate is sold with the tagline, "Overwhelming Effectiveness with Aphrodisiac" after all,

TL: Aphrodisiac is another word for love drug. It arouses desire sexual activity when consumed. Damn it there's just so many medical terms in this chapter.

Cork: So the person who gifted it must've misunderstood what it meant, and gave it to Mio thinking it can make her fall in love towards them.

Ritsu: I see. That's plausible. But it's actually a drug that makes themselves fall deeply in love instead.

Mio: Well putting that aside, do you know how am I supposed to make this scent clear away?

Mio: I won't be able to even go on a stroll outside at this rate.

Cork: It should take a few months for the scent to clear away. So I think you'll have no choice but refrain from heading out until then......

Mio: Ehhh, that'd be troublesome! I must attend practices for our Live, or else......

(Bam bam!)

Voice of a Girl: Mio-samaaaa! I know you're in here! Please let me see your face~!

Ritsu: Uwah! How come they know we're here!?

Mio: That reminds me, that they were also somehow able to know I was in Leine-san's shop back then......

Cork: I'm sure the scent is the reason behind. Mio's sweet scent must've attracted everyone there.

Mio: N-No way! Then this means it'd be meaningless for us to hide after all?

(Bam bam!)

Voice of a Girl: Mio-samaaaa! Mio-samaaaa! Please, open uppppp!

Ritsu: Let's make a run for it again, Mio!

Mio: Ugh, I knew this is gonna end up like this!

Ritsu: Cork, we'll be using your backdoor!

Cork: I apologise for not being helpful enough......

(Bam bam!)

Voice of a Girl: Mio-samaaaa! Mio-samaaaa!

Cork: This voice, I think I've heard it before......

(Crack!)

Cork: They wrecked my door!?

Lamp: Mio-sama is here, isn't she!?

Cork: Eh, Lamp? S-She isn't here though.

Lamp: No, I'm sure she is! Cause I can smell Mio-sama's pleasant scent over here!

Cork: (......Well it's Lamp we're talking about here, so obviously it'd get into her as well.)

Lamp: I've been a fan of Mio-sama all this time, so my feelings towards her have gotten unprecedentedly high.

Lamp: That gallant expression, the pretty hair, and the occasional cute side she shows......

Lamp: Ahhh I can't hold myself anymore! I love her! I'm gonna marry her! I've already prepared our marriage certificate as well!

Lamp: So for the sake of my happy future with Mio-sama, please stop hiding her and let me meet her~!

Girl A: Hey! The one who'll marry Mio-san is me!

Girl B: What did you say!? Mio-san doesn't solely belong to you!

Azusa: Hold up! What sort of selfish things are you all talking about!?

Azusa: The only one who's worthy to be with Mio-senpai, is someone who spends their time closely with her all along, that is me!

Lamp: Ughhh.......! A tough rival has appeared! But even if it's Azusa-sama who stands in my way, my love towards her will still never falter!

Lamp: If it comes to this, then let's decide who's the most worthy to be with Mio-sama with a battle, right here, right now!

Azusa: Bring it on! I won't lose!!

Cork: Things are getting awfully bad for Mio......

(Transition, in HTT club room)

Yui: Phew. The delicious tea sure makes this a lovely afternoon~

Tsumugi: Yui-chan, we've got some cake. Shall I slice it up?

Yui: Sure, I'll have some, I'll have some!

Tsumugi: Mio-chan and the others still hasn't arrived yet, so let's eat some of them ourselves first.

Yui: Now that you mentioned it, Mio-chan, Ricchan, and also Azunyan who went out to see what's up with those two, they all haven't returned.

Tsumugi: I wonder what happened to them. If they happen to face a problem......

Yui: Well well, I'm sure they'll be back some time soon. More importantly......

Tsumugi: More importantly, what?

Yui: It's the issue which we aren't able to practice as the others are gone. It's gonna be troubling.......

Yui: Ahh it's troubling it's troubling...... But it can't be helped after all. For the time being, let's enjoy ourselves with some tea and cake!

Tsumugi: Fufufu. I'll brew some more tea for us then.
