Bite gone wrong
"Uh… Love? Are you alright?" Setsuna asked, tapping her friend's back.
Love was currently a coughing mess, bending over with her hands around her neck. The heads of some other guests were turning toward the four members of Clover.
Guess Miyuki had been right, when she told her pupils "you'll probably leave an impression on everybody if you come to the gala!" earlier today. Except that "our first member spent ten minutes chocking on a bit of bread" was probably not the impression they had expected they would give…
Miki sighed. She twhirled her cup of champagne and started explaining the situation to Setsuna who had just joined them.
"After you left for the bathroom, she wanted to try out the red donuts on the buffet. Bukki and I tried to warn her, but…"
"Turns out that she didn't expect it to be one of those SSSB." Inori finished, with a little awkward smile. Seeing the look on Setsuna's face, she immediately explained: "It means Super Spicy Salty Bagel. Kind of… a non-sweet donut, you see. These have been fairly popular, lately."
Love managed to rise her head up. Apparently, even someone as thought as her had been no match for this Super Spicy sauce. She was in tears… This was probably the most cruel torture she had ever gone through. And yes, she was counting everything Northa had done to her.
The blonde could eventually mutter something. Miki and Bukki exchanged confused looks. Setsuna, however, had understood what those wailing pleas meant.
"I think she says she wants a drink."
"Oh!" Miki handed her champagne to Love. "There, there."
Love downed the whole cup in one gulp. Panting, she wiped her tears away, and uttered a solemn: "Never again!"
