Chocolate Panic Translation Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Valentine Live
(Audience cheers as a song ends.)

Yui: Everyone, thank you all so much!

(Transition, to HTT club room)

Ritsu: Man, what a fun live that was!

Yui: We got the audience really fired up, didn't we?

Azusa: I was worrying how this would turn out since we haven't practised enough......but everyone, you all did remarkably well out there!

Ritsu: Well yes. We're always at our best when it's the real deal.

Tsumugi: Say, since the live is over, how about we have a wrap up party? I got some delicious tea with me.

Yui: Yay~ Let's do it!

Ritsu: You're right! Let's make a toast to our successful live with some good tea!

(Transition)

Mio: Phew.......

Ritsu: Yo. What're you doing over here?

Mio: Ahh, it's you, Ritsu......

Mio: I'm just looking back on the plethora of things that happened recently.

Ritsu: Well indeed, a lot has happened. ......mostly before the live.

Mio: I'm beat, for real...... Honestly, I'm fed up with chocolates at this point.

Ritsu: Oh? So you began to hate chocolates now?

Mio: I don't wanna see any of them for now.

Ritsu: That's a shame. I thought I'd come here and give some chocolates to you, Mio.

Mio: Eh? Why chocolates? And also, why you, Ritsu?

Ritsu: It's what you'd call a "Friend Chocolate". Today's Valentine's Day after all.

TL: In Japan, women traditionally give two types of chocolates to people. First there's the Giri Choco (義理チョコ, obligatory chocolate), which you give to friends (Friend Chocolate, as Ritsu mentions), colleagues, seniors, or in general, people who you don't have romantic feelings towards. And then there's Honmei Choco (本命チョコ, true feelings chocolate), which you give to your husbands, boyfriends or love interests. Honmei Choco is where a girl's money really goes to on Japanese Valentine's Day.

Mio: Ah! That's right!

Ritsu: Oh, so you forgot about it?

Mio: I completely got that out of my mind.... You're right. Even though we just had our Valentine Live today...

Mio: Thank you, Ritsu.

Ritsu: Well, I thought you didn't want to see any chocolates?

Mio: No, but this one's special. It is you who gave this to me, Ritsu. To tell you the truth, though it may sound bitter...... I'm only eating this one.

Mio: But still I'm sorry...... I didn't prepare any chocolates for you, Ritsu.

Ritsu: That's okay, that's okay! It can't be helped after all, since you've been through a lot in the past few days.

Mio: Though I can't give them to you today, I will prepare some chocolates and bring them to you very soon, Ritsu.

Ritsu: Eh. Sure...... But I don't wanna see any chocolates for now......

Mio: Eh, what did you just say?

Ritsu: Hm? Ah it's nothing really......

Mio: I'm willing to eat your chocolates, but you're not willing to eat mine!?

Ritsu: What's the big deal!? Didn't you admit yourself just now that "The truth may sound bitter" or something!?

Mio: Don't you find fault with what I said! .......Alright, I've made up my mind!

Mio: To compensate for being late in giving you chocolates, I'm gonna bring you an entire pile of them. You better make sure you eat them all!

Ritsu: Ehh~! Not chocolates again!? Please just give me a break!
