[278] Licorice Cookie

(I know February 14th was a month ago. But oh well :D )

You are a resident (or a traveler) of Dark Cacao Kingdom . You knew it was cold there and that snow lay on the ground year-round, and it was there that you happened to meet Licorice Cookie. He was exploring the snow-covered ruins of Licorice Village, looking for something. You offered to help him, but he didn’t really trust you. Although, when you did help him, he was grateful. And then you started running into him way too often, mostly near the shores of the Licorice Sea.
Today was Hearts Day. It’s kind of a holiday for lovers or just good friends. There was supposed to be a celebration in Cookie Kingdom’s Cuckoo Town Square. It didn’t occur to you who to go with. You came to the town square alone and happened to see Licorice Cookie, who was about to ruin the celebration. You recognized him and, holding a letter in your hands, approached him. He noticed you and just stayed silent, not knowing how to react. You held out the envelope and said, “Will you be my Valentine?” Licorice looked at you in shock, slightly nervous. He smiled slightly. "Ha. S-sure, I’ll indulge you!"
