Perhaps he would be rejected, perhaps he would be ignored—White Gawd had thought of many possibilities.
But the current situation was truly beyond anything he could expect.
He never imagined that Pandora would actually ask such a question after accepting his chocolate so calmly.
Wasn't a girl who was always reading supposed to be gentle, reserved and considerate?
Why would she ask a question about another boy to a boy who had just given her a Valentine's Day chocolate?
Also, why didn't she show any kind of emotion when she was accepting his chocolate?
What about being shy?
Or being annoyed?
"Just what kind of person is she?"
White felt a little disillusioned.
It seemed that it was only at this moment did he suddenly realise that Pandora was not the girl who resembled his mother like he imagined her to be.
After a long while, he finally lowered his head and said, "No, I haven't seen Dark anywhere."
As soon as he finished speaking, he abruptly turned around and ran without looking back!
……
"Does he not know?"
Pandora couldn't help letting out a soft sigh as she watched White's rapidly vanishing figure.
Then she lowered her head and continued to read her book.
To her, aside from library registration matters, White was a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
Since he was a complete stranger, then she naturally didn't need to care about his thoughts.
The only reason she didn't view strangers as bugs was because she grew up with the help of other people.
Albeit slightly, her sense of belonging to humans still prevailed over her natural instincts.
As for the reason why she accepted the chocolate, it was merely because of a temporary need.
Moreover, because too many people had given her chocolates, she gradually became numb to it.
In the past, when she received a Valentine's Day chocolate for the first time, she had actually felt troubled.
But that was all in the past.
It was a pity she couldn't find out about Dark's whereabouts from that boy. She was going to have to look for him by herself.
"Will he be in the snowfield?"
"I'll go for a walk there when my shift is over."
"If I come across him, that means it's fate."
"If I don't, then just forget it."
The moment she thought about having to walk in the midst of all that ice and snow, Pandora couldn't help frowning.
She loathed snow.
……
This was what Valentine's Day was all about.
Some people would be happy, and some people would be sad.
Although White Gawd wasn't rejected, what he experienced was seemingly even more painful than a rejection.
He found himself lovelorn—completely lovelorn!
Before this, he always thought that it would be alright to slowly get in touch with her.
When he discussed it with the seniors in the Marine Biological Research club, they also came to the same conclusion.
If you set your mind to it, nothing would be impossible.
First, start by giving her a present and get her to notice you.
And then, make sure to send her a gift every year in hopes that it would move her.
If a boy wanted to pursue a girl, the most important thing was to have a thick skin.
If you continued to persist, you would eventually get a response.
In short, the seniors from the Marine Biological Research Club helped him to sum up all kinds of tips.
He also told himself that he must persevere.
But the reality was that right after sending the first gift, he was immediately crushed!
……
Robert, who hid around the doorway to listen in on them, witnessed the whole process.
As a boy who also had zero experience in love, he could only pat his best friend on the back and tell him 'it's okay','it'll pass'...
He thought that White was just sad because he had been covertly rejected.
Robert even thought that this rejection might actually be a good thing.
White should put his focus on the right things.
They were only in their first year, they should be spending more time on their studies. Only by laying a good foundation would they be able to build a better future.
Besides, wasn't magic chess fun enough?
"How about we go to see the snow? After this year, it might take years before we get such heavy snowfall again!"
"Mhm."
……
In the snowfield nearby the lake, after asking the magical spirits to clear up a space, Dark began to activate [Wonderland].
Although he thought about expanding [Wonderland] to its maximum range, he didn't do so in the end.
In the middle of the faint white light reflected by the snow mantle, the scope of [Wonderland] continued to spread. But only in that open space did two round tables and more than ten stone stools appeared.
Although Rose and Dianna already knew he had such a field spell card, they still found it miraculous upon seeing it for themselves.
Dianna curiously patted the stone table, sat down on the stone stool, and then put her many bags on top of the table.
The snacks she brought were no less than that of the magical spirits.
The magical spirits took a look at her and followed suit by putting their bags onto the other table. Then they excitedly took out their snacks and started digging in.
The feeling of returning to [Wonderland]'s embrace had made them feel full of vigour.
"Woof~"
Popplio rubbed against Dark's leg and pointed towards the frozen lake.
Dark patted its head and smiled, "Go ahead."
Immediately, Popplio gleefully crawled to the lake and started sliding across the frozen surface.
Although its posture was clumsy, it didn't have to worry about falling at all due to its body structure. It was just that sometimes, after sliding, it wasn't able to put on the brakes.
When the students skating on the lake suddenly discovered that a little sea lion wearing a scarf had joined them, they couldn't hold back from frolicking with it.
There was no one who didn't like cute little animals.
Meanwhile, on the lakeside, Miltank used [Defense Curl] and started rolling all around the thick snow. DemiDevimon took off to the air and flew after it.
Hawlucha was attempting to drift in the snow.
Ditto was frantically looking after Trash Slime who was about to freeze into a chunk of ice.
The pitiful Meowth was thrown into a swaddle made of scarf and could only dejectedly look up at the clouds in the sky.
"Vee!"
Little Eevee took the opportunity to walk up to Dark and rubbed its soft face against his calf. And then, with a "biu", it jumped onto his thigh and curled up into a ball, squinting its eyes as it enjoyed its master's warmth.
Seeing this, Sylveon silently bared its fangs. But it had just committed a mistake and didn't dare to act cute towards Dark, so it could only discontentedly build a snowman.
Dark sat on the stone stool as he gently stroked Eevee's fur, warmth flowing from his gaze.
Shuckle climbed onto a rock and held a paintbrush with its tentacle, trying to sketch out this warm picture with its paintbrush.
But its skill actually fell somewhere between kindergarten and first year elementary school students—what it used was the 'abstract' technique.
Gatomon simply sat on the stone stool beside Dark and put its spread of books onto the stone table to read them.
But from time to time, its gaze was drawn by the magical spirits rolling around in the snow.
"Go ahead and play." Dark gently said.
Gatomon momentarily showed a tangled expression, but at last, it solemnly closed the picture book, stuffed it into its bag, and pounced on the snowball with a "meow"!
It was a natural instinct for cats to like round-shaped things.
"Hmm." Dark finally remembered about Meowth.
He beckoned to Ditto.
"Mon Mon." Ditto went over to him while carrying Trash Slime.
Dark lifted Trash Slime from its arms, then took Meowth out of the 'swaddle' and unleashed the Normal Summoning Spell.
"Meow!"
Meowth, who finally saw the light of day again, instantly looked up to the sky and meowed, letting out all of its pent-up grievance.
Then it went down on all fours and rushed to the spot where Gatomon was at.
The two cats tossed around the snowball.
