Writer: Yuuki Yoshino | Season: Winter | Location: Chocolat Fes Stage (Knights)

Leo: It’s finally our turn, isn’t it! The morning units’ performances dragged on and on, so we ended up getting on stage way past the scheduled time.
They do say boredom’s the death of creativity.
Wahaha, I was soooo bored that I was thinking of... invading another unit’s live ☆
Tsukasa: This is no laughing matter. Chocolat Fes does not have strict Rules, but if you cause a scene, we will be kicked out of the venue.
Leo: That’s the problem. Chocolat Fes is just focused on providing entertainment to the guests with songs and handmade chocolates, so clear rules don’t really exist.
There’s no real trouble now, but there could be in the future.
Arashi: ~...♪
Leo: Oh, why’re you humming? Naru, it looks like you’re in a good mood~ Did something nice happen?
Arashi: Yes, it did~ I got some handmade chocolate from Mitsuru-chan. Really, it was so delicious I could die ♪
Leo: From Mittsu? Don’t I get tribute too~?
Well, it’s not like he’s one of my knights or anything... though I'm sure he'll give me something if I pester him enough.
Tsukasa: Please don’t exhort your juniors... Good grief, you snatched the sample Chocolate that we made as well.
When it comes to the Chocolate that we will give to the guests, the worst case scenario would be for there to be some left over. Of course, there’s an almost 0% chance that something like that would occur.
Leo: There’s no idiot in Knights who’d wave a white flag on the battlefield they’ve decided to throw the gauntlet down on. I mean, if there was, I’d beat 'em into shape!
Arashi: Ou-sama, have you forgotten the point of Chocolat Fes?
It’s not to wage war, but to thoroughly show our gratitude to our fans.
There’s no way I can condone your disturbing ideas of routing the enemy by whatever means necessary.
Well, this isn’t a Dreamfes you can win or lose, but there’s nothing we can do if some units do better than others.
Tsukasa: Yes. There are Lives happening after us, but at the moment, I can tell which units the audience will be receiving chocolates from.
Knights is advancing at a good pace, and our Fans are steadily increasing too.
Even after seeing other Units’ Lives, our Fans seem like they’re resolved to receive Chocolate from us without being swayed.
Leo: Which means that all the chocolate we made for our fans won’t go to waste. What we should be worried about is not having enough.
Izumi: It’s a large-scale Dreamfes, so the general public is allowed to come watch as well.
Look, the venue’s overflowing with people. Isn’t this pretttty bad?
Ritsu: Nn~... The sun’s set, so I’m feeling full of energy. The guests are more energetic than usual, too.
So full of energy that I could kill with just a glance.
Arashi: No way, the audience is almost entirely made up of girls, you know? Saying things like “I’ll kill you” just makes us seem dangerous.
...But, well, it’s not a feeling that I can deny. Given the atmosphere, it wouldn’t be unusual for people to scramble over one another to get chocolate, would it?
Ritsu: It looks like there’s strife between the fans who have supported us from the beginning and those who have only become fans of us recently.
It’s not like Chocolat Fes’ construction is full of flaws, but it’d be nice if they thought a bit more about how to better host it.
Arashi: You said it, Ritsu-chan. But, you really make a good point. After Valentine’s Day, what comes up next is White Day, isn’t it?
It looks like there’s another Dreamfes that plays out similarly to Chocolat Fes around White Day, so...
We need to follow up on what we need to work on for next time, I think.
Leo: Guuuys, the chatting stops here. I’ve gotten bored with just watching others’ lives. Let’s vent our frustration by singing and dancing with all we’ve got!
This is different than the usual lengthy Dreamfes; it’s a brief and vicious battle. Don’t worry about burning out; just blow them away right from the start. Let’s make it flashy!
“Happy Valentine’s Day... ♪”
“♪~ ♪~”
Tsukasa: (He is typically a childish person, but while he is on Stage, he is able to attract others to him as a beautiful, valiant knight.)
(He has been behaving well so far, after all. He suppressed his urge to barge into another's Live and earnestly awaited his turn.)
(It does not befit Leader’s nature to stand petrified on the battlefield. He is always so animated.)
(As expected, it is because we are in a place like this that you can shine. Isn’t that right? My understanding isn’t wrong, is it, Leader?)
Leo: (It’s the same for you, isn’t it, Suo~?)
(As knights living in this world, our nature is to be excited by the encounter of a formidable enemy and await the next opponent with anticipation.)
(If the unit that’s up next gets scared and tries to run away, let 'em.)
(There’s no need to show mercy. Even if they have the guts to oppose us, that alone won’t ensure their survival.)
(Knights is a unit that celebrates the spirit of chivalry.)
(We kneel before ladies, as if kissing the tips of their toes. If others try and mimic this, it’ll make them seem like a cheap imitation.)
(It’s because we’re us that we can perform such a feat. You try it too; you can do that, right, Suo~? ♪)
Tsukasa: (Yes, of course.)

Tsukasa: “Happy Valentine’s Day...! With the sweetness of Chocolate, I devote my song to every one of you cute maidens ♪”
“♪~ ♪~”
Arashi: (Oh my, it looks like Tsukasa-chan’s words have made the whole audience swoon.)
(What a sinful man... the rest of us won’t lose! Let’s go, Izumi-chan, Ritsu-chan!)
“♪~ ♪~”
Izumi: (Damn brats, getting ahead of me. How cheeky. Fine, I’ll show you the true power of a knight... ♪)
“♪~ ♪~”
Ritsu: (Everyone’s really buzzing with energy, huuuh. I guess I’ll do what I can, too~)
“It's no longer daytime, so make sure to have a taste of my full effort~ ♪”
“♪~ ♪~”
Leo: (They’re delighting the guests while also enjoying themselves. Our time is slowly running out, but the excitement in the audience seats is reaching its peak.)
“♪~ ♪~”

Leo: “The curtains will not close on this stage, because as long as you desire it, we will deliver this dream to you.”
“Become happier than anyone in this world, princess... that is my—our wish.”
“Happy Valentine's Day... ♪”
