Dark vaguely remembered that she didn't like snow at all, so he didn't say much.
He changed the topic, "Are you not going to summon your familiar spirit?"
Pandora smiled, took out her sorting card, and summoned her familiar spirit—the chubby Young Winged Dragon.
The Young Winged Dragon who had been enlightened by the deadly sin car pounced onto Dark's face as soon as it came out. It was clear to see that it really liked his breath.
Somewhat dotingly, Dark pulled it off his face and placed it on top of the table, making it face Pandora.
Pandora lifted Young Winged Dragon's chin with her fingers and muttered, "Traitor."
Rose quickly answered, "Hello senior sister, I'm Rose Rothrock, a first year student from Noble House."
Pandora nodded. Of course she knew who these two girls who were always by Dark's side were. She merely asked the question to find a topic for conversation.
Rose blinked her eyes as she observed this senior whom she could see almost every day. She couldn't hold back from asking, "Senior sister, they say that you always receive piles of chocolates and flowers on every Valentine's Day. Is that true?"
Pandora was stunned for a moment, but soon she immediately answered, "More or less."
Rose: "Then, what if it's a gift from someone you don't know, or someone you don't like?"
Pandora: "Of course I'd refuse it."
Rose: "Then what if that person secretly put it in your desk drawer?"
Pandora spontaneously let out a smile, "Did you receive a gift? When I was in my first year, I felt as troubled as you do. If someone gives you a present or confesses to you in person, just resolutely refuse it. If you hesitate, it would instead give that person a false hope. If someone secretly puts the gift in your drawer, you can just throw it in the trash."
Rose subconsciously covered her mouth. "Will it be okay?"
Pandora replied without the least hesitation, "You have to know that if a person who doesn't have much contact with you suddenly says that he likes you, then there will definitely come a day when he suddenly says the same thing to another person. There's absolutely no need to get along with this kind of person."
Rose remarked in enlightenment, "So that's the case."
Pandora: "Why is Valentine's Day separated into two parties? It's precisely to remind people that they need to make careful considerations when it comes to emotional matters, because it's not something you'll be able to simply fix once it goes wrong. In this regard, us girls are on the more disadvantaged side, so we should be even more cautious."
Rose vigorously nodded, her favorability towards Pandora increasing by a point.
……
As Dark watched the exchange of insight between the two, he helplessly let out a sigh.
The way Senior Pandora dealt with the matter of Valentine's Day gifts was really swift, firm, and succinct.
As for him, throwing those gifts into the trash was something he could never bring himself to do.
To put it euphemistically, it was 'gentlemanly behaviour'.
But in the final analysis, it was actually 'indecisiveness'.
The line he drew wasn't clear enough.
But if he really did as Pandora did, he reckoned that a bad reputation would start spreading around.
In regards to this, it was acceptable for girls to draw a clear line, but the same didn't apply for boys.
……
In the middle of their discussion, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from above them.
When they spontaneously raised their heads, Professor Lily at last slipped out of her invisible state and flew right in front of Dark with a 'biu'.
The fairy, who completely looked as though she was in the same age group as Dark, giggled as she threw the 'chocolate' she had just counterfeited into the snack pile. And then, pretending like nothing happened, she asked, "Why, are you all playing here?"
Without paying much attention to the 'chocolate', Dark replied at once, "The first snow in the spring that comes after winter is something that should be experienced for oneself."
Professor Lily looked around, surveying all the girls within this private territory before suddenly asking, "Have all of them given you Valentine's Day chocolates?"
Dark was taken aback when he heard this. He didn't expect Professor Lily to ask such a question.
But in this kind situation, it would be fine to tell the truth. So he candidly said, "We're just frie..."
But from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Rose silently taking out a square gift box from her school bag. And then, following Professor Lily's example, she carefully placed the gift box into the snack pile.
As a result, Dark's voice abruptly stopped.
Professor Lily's gaze immediately turned towards Pandora.
With a calm smile, Pandora directly pulled out a bar of chocolate from her sleeve and similarly stuffed it into the pile of snacks.
After that, both of them turned to look at Dianna, who was still tussling in the snow with the three cats.
Dark awkwardly said, "She did, she did. Dianna already gave it to me."
"Vee!"
Eevee, who had been curled up into a ball, seemed to have sensed the threat and abruptly stretched out its body, aggressively leaning back on its master's chest to emphasise its right of possession!
Dark reflexively reached out to hug it.
Professor Lily looked sideways at that little Eevee, and then suddenly said, "Dark, I want to build the biggest snowman in Saint Marian!"
"Are you Dianna?"
Of course, he could only stifle this question in his stomach.
"Together?" Asked Dark.
Pandora brought her hands in front of her mouth, exhaled on them, and said, "Alright."
Rose reservedly nodded.
The four of them got up, found a piece of land, and began to build a snowman.
……
It was at this moment did Mike Irving finally arrive at the location.
As he dazedly stared at the people around Dark Demon, he spontaneously rubbed his eyes.
The third year female student next to him couldn't help but to frown and berated him, "Irving, what's going on? Is this the first year student you said was an easy target? Dark Demon? Do you see the people around him? It's Pandora Doragon from the fourth year and the fairy professor who's lived for more than a hundred years! If you can't even notice this, I think you need to go get an overhaul!"
"Cough!" Irving let out a dry cough. "Maggie, don't be like this. I'm just following orders. Although Jeffrey is a little impulsive, he's actually not stupid. He wants to use this method to gradually establish the Aristocratic History Research Society as Dark Demon's opposition. There are a lot of easily swayed, uncommitted people in our club, so we have to do something to spur them on."
Maggie: "I'm saying that you're the stupid one!"
Irving: "..."
After a long pause, Irving looked into Maggie's eyes and said, "Maggie, you know that I'm not stupid either."
Maggie Gaskell was a third year student with golden red medium length hair. Her facial features were fairly delicate, especially her pair of eyes which were as beautiful as rubies.
Under Irving's gaze, Maggie coldly snorted, "If you're not stupid, how did you come up with such a terrible idea?"
Irving shrugged. "It really is terrible. Jeffrey picked me to do this embarrassing thing not to target Dark Demon, but to crack the whip on me."
Maggie: "You know and you're still doing it?"
Irving: "I have no other choice. How about this, in a little while, you go over and put the chocolate on the table. You don't need to say anything after that, just go and leave the rest to me."
Grabbing the box of chocolate, Maggie couldn't hold back from snarling, "This is the chocolate I made for you!"
Irving: "Don't worry, once I'm done making a fool of myself, I'll take it back and eat it."
Maggie: "Screw you!"
She hatefully threw the chocolate in Mike Irving's face and stormed off without looking back.
"Jeez." Irving helplessly dug his hand into his curly hair and roughly rumpled it.
He really had it hard!
Why must he suffer this misfortune on what was supposed to be a fine Valentine's Day?
Wanting to take the box of chocolate that had fallen to the ground, he bent down and lamented, "I don't know if the chocolate will be broken or not."
But someone picked it up before he could.
"Senior, your chocolate."
As White Gawd handed the box of chocolate back to Irving, he couldn't help thinking to himself:
"How pitiful. He must've also gotten rejected just like me, hasn't he?"
