"What? Chocolate breed? What is that?"
"Sigh… I don't feel like I will win"
"Suggest brands name? I'm in!"
People started to whisper and talk to each other. Some of them are guessing, some of them are scared, and some of them are clueless. I just waited for the MC's next explanation. She's not done yet, though.
"Let me explain first! Chocolate breed is a game where you will eat a chocolate and guess what kind of chocolate it is. Of course, your eyes will be closed with this black napkin. Everyone can participate in this game. We have almost 1000 chocolates with us and all of them are different kinds. So, don't worry!" MC explained with a smile and overreacted gesture.
"Gon, you want to participate?" I asked.
"No, I can't join. I'm not a member" he answered.
"Any question?" MC asked.
"Yes, do we have to be a member to participate this game?" I asked while raising my right hand.
"Of course! You have to be a member of ChocoLovers website to enter this game! Everybody who wants to join, please sign up on that desk and come to this stage" she said while pointing the table beside the stage. I sighed and felt disappointed because Gon cannot join the game.
'He should have signed up to the website! It's okay if he doesn't active in it, but he can win this game, though! He has a good smell' I said in mind disappointed. I know Gon's senses are dangerous. He can beat me in this game if he joins.
"Okay then. See you later, Gon" I said and walked to the table to sign up.
"Good luck, Killua! I know you can win!" he said. I just waved my right hand without turning back at him.
I'm in front of the table. There is a sheet of paper for me to sign.
Name? Killua. Account name? ChocoDrugs. Sign? I signed my fake signature. The GM, who is in charge of the table, made a name card with my name on it. He pinned the card on my cloth neatly. The card is written 'ChocoDrugs'.
"Thank you for participating this game. Here is your black napkin. Good luck!" the GM was handed me the black napkin. I took it and heading to the stage. They already arranged the stage, which there are chairs and tables.
"Okay! Here is our contestant! Wow, it's quite many. Thank you all for participating! You can sit on the chairs and please cover your eyes with the napkin" the MC started to give directions. I picked a chair in the middle and sat immediately. Beside me, there is a girl with black hair. It's Setsu. Beside her is a boy that was with her before. She saw me but she didn't care. She put on her napkin. I put on mine too. It's black already.
"Good luck, Setsu" I said to my left.
"I won't lose to you, Killua" I heard her.
"I doubt it" I said and smirked.
"We are about to begin! Please put your hand on the table. Our GMs will put a chocolate in your hand, and you must tell the GM what chocolate is that. If you are wrong, you will be disqualified. If you are right, you can continue until there are 5 contestant left! The first round is the basic of the chocolates. You must all know this one! Good luck all! Happy eating!" MC directed.
I felt the wind passing through in front of me. I put my hand on the table and I felt somebody put something in my hand. I ate it immediately. It's sweet, but… it's bitter too.
"Dark chocolate" I said.
"CORRECT!" the GM in front of me shouted and rang the bell. Well, I heard a bell ringing so I guess he held a bell.
"YAA! The first contestant who guessed right is ChocoDrugs!" I heard the MC announced my character name. Everybody was cheering for their own contestant.
"Milk Chocolate" I heard the voice on my left.
"CORRECT!" I heard the GM shouted and rang the bell.
"The second contestant who guessed right is ChocoKillers! Good job, guys!" the MC said.
"Good job, Setsu" I said.
"You too. I won't lose to you" she said.
"White chocolate" I heard a voice.
"CORRECT!" I heard again the bell thingy. It's so loud.
"The third contestant! It's Oreo!" the MC said.
"Green tea chocolate"
"Orange chocolate"
The other participants started to answer. Some of them were right, some of them were wrong.
"1 minute left for you guys who haven't answered! You'd better start guessing. If you don't answer, you will not pass this round" MC explained.
I wonder how many of them can pass this round.
60…
59…
58…
57…
1 minute has passed.
"Woah… the members in this event are really superb! There are 30 contestants left and all of them know the basic of chocolates! But… Do they know chocolate filling? Will they pass the second round? Here we go, ladies and gentleman! The second round will be about guessing the chocolate type and the filling in it!" MC said.
'So, it's still 30 contestants left' I thought.
"START!" MC shouted.
I put my hand on the table again. I felt something on my hand. I ate it. Hmmm… It tastes sweet and smells like milk, so the type must be milk chocolate. And the filling… There is a nut in it and it's hard. This must be almond. Before I opened my mouth, Setsu said…
"Dark chocolate with mint filling"
"Milk chocolate with almond filling" I continued.
RING RING! I heard the bell… Again.
"CORRECT!" they shouted.
"Good guess" I said to Setsu.
"I didn't guess. I don't like mint. It stings my tongue and always tastes spicy in my mouth" she said.
"It always tastes like that, Setsu. Not just in your mouth" I sweat-dropped. I don't like mint too. I like sweet. Only sweet.
"White chocolate with coffee filling" I heard Kurama said.
The bell rang again. This means he corrects. I wonder how many contestants can pass this round. It's quite hard, though.
"ONE MORE MINUTE!" MC said. The contestants gasped, like students still on their first number of the exam when it's only 10 minutes left to finish it. I bet not many can pass this round.
"White chocolate with strawberry filling"
"CORRECT!"
"Dark chocolate with hazelnut filling"
"WRONG!"
"Milk chocolate with cream filling"
"WRONG!"
"Dark chocolate with rice crackers"
"CORRECT!"
"Milk chocolate with vanilla beans"
"WRONG!"
"TIME'S UP!" MC announced. I guess not many of them passed.
"1… 2… 3… 4… 5… … WHAT?! It's only 5 contestants left?! I can't believe it! I think the second round is difficult. Let me interview one of the contestant who didn't pass. You, over there! Wait a moment, please!" MC said.
"Okay, sir MilkChoco. Do you think this round is difficult? And why?" MC asked.
"Yeah… maybe because when you bite the chocolate, it will blend and melt together in your mouth. You will want to swallow it immediately cause it's so damn GOOD! And you will forget that you have to answer the question" one of the contestant said.
"I see. It makes me want to try the chocolates! They all look yummy… Anyway, this round will be … There will not be a third round! Because we didn't expect the participant will be 5 left. So, let's move to the next game!" MC said.
I open the napkin from my eyes. I blinked for a while because it's too light for me. I look to my left, no one sit there. I guess she already went down from the stage.
"Let's take a break first. You can enjoy the chocolates that are left. It's still many, though" MC said. Everybody rushed immediately to the GM's table. I sighed. I hope they don't use nen to get the chocolate. I walked to Gon, but Setsu catched my arm.
"Killua! You want to forget about me again?" she said to me while hugging my right hand.
"What? Wait, why are you stick-"
"Please help me get away from Kurama" she said softly, almost cannot be heard from 1 meters away. I looked at the boy behind her. I looked back at Setsu. She looked me deeply, like a cat desperately wants catnip. A moment I thought, I felt bad at her.
I sighed and looked back at the boy named Kurama. I reached out my hand and said...
"Hi. I'm Killua, Setsu's..." I wanted to continue saying 'friend' but Setsu cut me off.
"Boyfriend! He's my boyfriend. Killua, this is Kurama" Setsu said cheerfully.
I almost down to my knees, but I kept my calm. Kurama shaked my hand, rather hard. I knew that he liked her and he irritated with me.
"Nice to meet you, Killua. I'm Kurama" he said while looking at me sharply.
'Ugh... Why am I in this situation?' I said in my mind.
"Anyway, Killua. I want chocolate. Let's take the chocolates together!" Setsu said while dragging my right hand to the GM's table.
"Okay, hime" I said. Then, she stopped walking and stood there. I felt she held my hand tighter, and her hand a little bit shaking too.
"Don't..." she said softly. Her head looked down to the floor. I couldn't see her face because her curly hair is blocking the way. I grabbed her chin with my right hand and moved her head up so that I can see her eyes.
Her eyes... are teary.
"Don't... call me... Princess"
Setsu PoV
"Don't... call me... Princess"
Those memories... I don't want to remember!
Please, make it disappear...
Someone...
Someone please make it disappear...
I...
"I'll be right back" he said to me while patting my head. I grabbed his arm, don't want to let go but he smiled at me and went away. I waited there.
"First, why you cried?" Kurama asked.
Why? The question kept asking in my head.
Why?
I don't want to remember.
Why am I cried?
I cried?
I touched my cheek and felt water on my skin.
No...
I won't cry.
I don't want to cry.
'Oh no. I almost burst out. I almost cry out loud. I almost...'
I looked down at my hand. Water falling down to my hand.
'Someone... help me!'
"Here! Eat this" he cupped my face and put in something to my mouth.
I felt something melt inside my mouth.
It's chocolate.
It's sweet.
and...
It's woken up my sweet memory.
I chewed it. I closed my eyes and formed a smile.
The taste of chocolate made me relax a little bit.
'Honey, if you're scared, eat this chocolate. It will make your scare gone!' I heard the voice inside my head. It's mom. I regained my sweet memory that I almost forgot.
'YUMMY! What chocolate is this, mama?'
'It's...'
"Chocolate truffle"
I don't know the name of the game, so I just name it 'Chocolate Breed'.
