Heartbroken Chocolatier (失恋ショコラティエ)

Olivier?

Is what Souta wants a golden Saeko? Or a silver Saeko?

What?

Or maybe, a chocolate Saeko? - Chocolate Saeko-san?

No, that's not it. A normal Saeko-san, please!

Just when I thought we could finally meet again, she became someone else's wife.

Making me bake a wedding cake for her with an indifferent face,

I don't know if she's a natural airhead or a super sadist, but,

a normal Saeko-san, please!

That's the most sinful answer.

You want a normal Saeko-san.

Then, you understand, right?

Souta. You have to become more ____.

Eh? What?

Olivier. Olivier!

What do I have to become?!

The chocolatier "choco la vie" is open for business.

I feel happy. I have my own shop at this age,

and people to back me up,

and also,

I'm in love.

Then, when the shop opens, I'll be the first to come.

Will she come? Will she not come?

Thank you for waiting.

We're talking about chocolate lover Saeko-san.

If a new chocolatier opens up,

there's no way she won't stop by.

Regardless of whether it's my shop or not.

Good afternoon.

Souta-kun. Congratulations on your shop's opening!

Saeko-san.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Souta-kun. - Thank you for coming.

I'm sorry for being so late. Here!

Wow, it's really pretty.

This morning the washing machine suddenly began acting weird.

Oh. How housewife-like.

I had to wait until the repairman came by, so I couldn't come before now.

I see. She is a housewife.

She's definitely cute, this type of wife.

The bath's ready. Let's go in together.

Eh? You sure? - Souta-kun.

Eh? Ah. - I'm really sorry.

I'm so depressed that I couldn't be the first customer.

Ah, it's okay. It would have been nice if you were the first customer, but,

I would rather have Saeko-san be my customer for life.

Cute~~!! What is this? Hey, is it okay if I bring my bed here?

Eh?

Why would you do that?

I want to live here! I'll sleep and wake up here every day!

Are you stupid? Are you stupid?

Are you stupid? Are you stupid? Are you -

What's wrong? - Nothing.

Yay, you still have amitiés!

Geez, combining gâteau au chocolate with macarons, that's a crime.

Pew pew.

And, 100 grams of orangette in a bag,

and a box of 12 bonbon chocolates｡ And then -

What is that box? Something is attached to it. - Ah, the bonbon chocolate box.

Boxes of 20 or more come with an attached charm.

Charm?! I want it! Ah, excuse me!

Please change the box of 12 to a box of 20!

Thank you.

Thanks~ Then see you!

Amitié: 2. Orangetto: 100.

Bonbon: 20. - What are you doing?

The day and time Saeko-san came, and what she bought.

Ah, I should write the weather too. - Whoa, disgusting.

Eh? Is it?

Disgusting! - Is it?

Disgusting!! - That much?

Dis-

You have to become more ____.

Thank you.

Hi.

Welcome.

Are you looking for something? - Yes.

I would like one of these assortments of baked sweets.

Of course. Please have a seat while waiting.

Okay.

Souta-kun, today, - Excuse me, Koyurugi-kun.

We're your fans. Do you mind taking a picture together?

Sure. - I'm taking it.

Thank you.

Work hard.

Souta-kun.

Yes, this is choco la vie. Thank you for your business.

Yes. About the dried cranberries...

Thank you for waiting.

I'm sorry, thank you again.

Thank you. - Thanks.

Excuse me. - Yes.

Ah, no. The same one is fine. Yes.

Yes.

Ah. Souta-kun. - Yes, that would be great.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry. I'm always forgetting my umbrella.

Thank you so much.

Hey, is the thing Saeko-san bought the baked sweets set A?

Eh? Ah, yeah.

Baked sweets set A. The weather is sunny after rain.

Did something happen? - Oh, no, sorry.

Saeko-san just forgot her umbrella. Since Souta-kun seemed busy,

I gave it to her. You wanted to talk alone with her, right?

No. Not really.

But -

I have to show my feelings, but it's no good if I'm looked down upon.

Eh?

Just chasing after her like a dog,

Saeko-san isn't the type to be moved by a man like that.

From the beginning, she's the girl who ate up all the good looking guys at school and ran.

I have to take charge, raise the threshold just a little,

prepare plenty of sweet honey. Like this.

So that she will come on her own,

I have to set many traps.

How should I put it.

I have to, - You have to,

become more of a bad guy.

This memo is part of the plan.

Saeko-san is like a representative of the shop's target audience,

so I'm thinking of using this data as reference for product development.

Saeko-san jumps at new things like a trendhopper,

but she's a harsh judge of products.

Even if it's her ex-boyfriend's - No, her friend's shop,

she won't buy something she doesn't like twice.

That part of her is dependable.

Today, we're visiting a chocolatier that is lately very popular with young women.

As a matter of fact, this is the first branch in Japan

of chocolatier Ricdor, which dazzled celebrities in New York.

And this is the owner chef, with many passionate fans around the world, Rikudou Seinosuke-san.

Hello. - You're very good looking.

As expected of the chocolate nobleman.

Thank you.

Hee... After the prince, we now have a nobleman?

What are you watching? - Eh? Ah, nothing.

Um, it's okay, it's okay.

Right? - Yeah.

Ah, Ricdor? - What, you don't care?

Well I do think it's a great shop.

That doesn't matter, get back to work.

Yes~ - Welcome.

Hi.

Welco-

Huh? That bag is...

Correct! Look, Ricdor's limited edition box. Ta-da!

I had to have it, so I've been waiting in line since 7 in the morning.

7 in the morning?! You took your time coming here in the afternoon, though!

What a leisurely housewife. - Isn't it extravagant?

I really love this type of thing.

Indeed, Saeko-san likes that type of thing, right?

The shop is amazing too. The interior is super gorgeous,

it almost feels like you forget your daily life. - Heee..

And then chocolatier Rikudou-san

came out to greet us, and he was super handsome.

Ah, we just saw him on TV. - His voice saying "thanks" was

super sexy, rather than seeing him in a picture,

he was much, much cooler in person.

Well, even so,

the box, and the shop, and Rikudou-san were all lovely, but.

In the end, it's the chocolate.

It was the most, most delicious ever.

I think I found the ultimate best. Alrighty.

Hey, are you okay?

I'm fine. It's just my stomach.

Do you have a cold? Then you can't enter the kitchen.

No, it's just mental. - Eh?

What is this? Bonbon chocolates from Ricdor?

I wondered what it was like. The ultimate best.

Are you concerned about it? The thing with Saeko-san.

Isn't that just her insinuation?

Eh? - The thing that time.

Excuse me.

Nah, it's nothing. Oh yeah, do you want some medicine for your stomach?

I'm pretty sure there was some around here.

Has Kaoruko-san experienced jealousy?

Eh?

Don't tell me you're seriously jealous?

Hey. It's too late to be saying such a thing.

Saeko-san had a million lovers until now,

she even has a husband now.

You've been plenty jealous until now, right?

Chocolate.

Chocolate is a different matter.

When it comes to chocolate,

I can't lose to anyone.

Somehow, when I think that Souta working so hard is

for Saeko-san in the end, I get sad.

It's like he's devoting everything to her.

It's not like that Saeko woman is anything special.

I really like this shop.

Eh?

Since Souta opened this shop because he fell in love with Saeko-san,

don't you think that's very valuable?

That's why I approve of Souta's love.

It would be good if Souta fell deeper in love with Saeko-san.

So I'm sorry but, I can't support Kaoruko-san's love.

Eh? - I might tamper with it because it's amusing, though.

Wha- What are you saying? I -
