Since Lin Yun and An Ya became magical girls together, every year until they entered the halls of marriage, An Ya would give him chocolates.
At first, they were store-bought snacks from roadside shops, then later they became semi-finished products she processed herself using Kingdom Magical Items. Eventually, she transitioned to crafting chocolates entirely by hand, starting from raw materials.
Among all the years of gifted chocolates, the one that left the deepest impression on Lin Yun was probably the year An Ya first purchased semi-finished products and gave the chocolate its own shape.
"Hmm… it's not that I'm being particularly picky. I'm just genuinely confused."
Studying the chocolate he had taken out of the gift box, Lin Yun at the time couldn't discern what An Ya had attempted to create. "What exactly is this? A cane? A tree branch?"
—"Goodness, it's a sword!"
