Transcript[]
Lucifer[]
To the master of the fragment, the great lord:
It's the time of valentines again, and as the leader of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory, I hereby present to you this chocolate, and my vow for eternal obedience.
~Eldest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Lucifer, with love and loyalty
P.S. If there's anything you'd like me to do, I will be willing to turn into a chair, a candlestick, a cat, a carpet, a furniture, and even a slave, so please order this pathetic furniture around as you wish.
Leviathan[]
To the honored lord who must've gotten chocolate from others:
Although my chocolate is only one of the many that you have received, I still have poured my heart and effort into making it.
Even if it's just an insignificant one in a huge pile, it doesn't matter.
This message is from one pair of the countless eyes fixed to you, that lunatic one with the color of envious red
Forget-me-not, ohehehehehehe~
~Second eldest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Leviathan, with love and jealousy
Satan[]
To the master of the seven sisters, the almighty lord:
I have predicted that my foolish sisters must've included some rude words in the letters.
But, the fault is not theirs.
It's all due to that I have not taught them well. Please accept my apologies
And also, have your harsh remarks at me if you wish...
Any strong words, I can take, because I am prepared for them...
~Third eldest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Satan, with love and regret
Belphegor[]
To the owner of the chessboard, the almighty lord:
I have sent many chocolates to many males, but they are demon chocolates designed to make the men into lazy swines
But your majesty has always fixed yourself into working
So this is not a trap to sloth, but a real Valentine's chocolate from me
~Fourth eldest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Belphegor, with love and respect
Mammon[]
(Mammon's omitted due to the OP)
Beelzebub[]
To the owner of the chessboard, the almighty lord:
I believe that your majesty deserves the best of the best chocolates
so I spent many time looking for one that suits you
and after countless tries, I have found the best one.
~Second youngest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Beelzebub, with love and cocoa
P.S. The best of the best chocolates is really the best! It's so addicting that I couldn't stop myself after the first bite ...I have accidently ate them all, my apologies so here you go, the second best-tasting chocolate.
Asmodeus[]
To the owner of the chessboard, the almighty lord:
I have melted my love into this chocolate.
No, if possible, I want to become your majesty's chocolate.
If that can be done, I will be able to lie on your majesty's warm and soft tounge, enjoying the sensation of your mouth to its fullest.
~Youngest of the Seven Sisters of Purgatory: Asmodeus, with love, passion, and melancholy
Chiester 00[]
To the master of number ********* fragment
From the 4096th infantry of the Chiester Guards
Along with the blessings of valentines, I've included the love and respect for your majesty in this letter.
The chocolate that accompanies this letter has passed the department's inspection
please enjoy it without worries.
~Cheister 00
Chiester 410[]
To the master of number ********* fragment
From the 4096th infantry of the Chiester Guards
The friendship chocolate of the roses, is the shotgun of the valentines.
The true love chocolate that guarantees a perfect strike, is the sniper rifle of the valentines.
And the chocolate I've sent to you...what of the valentines is it-nyeh?
~Chiester 410-nyeh
Chiester 45[]
To the master of number ********* fragment
From the 4096th infantry of the Chiester Guards
Thank you very much for all these times.
I wished to make handcrafted chocolates and send them to you, but due to the chocolate terrorist attack last year, the headquarters forbade us to make chocolates.
Therefore I have picked the best one which I thought would fit your majesty the most
It would be my greatest honor if you can taste it.
Chiester 556[]
To the master of number ********* fragment
From the 4096th infantry of the Chiester Guards
I hope my feelings of gratitude and the accompanied chocolate reach you well.
As you have, please allow the Chiester Guards to remain in your thoughts.
There are only girls in the Guards, so this custom is new to me.
Have I followed proper Valentine's Day etiquette with my letter?
If you find the time to let me know, thank you very much in advance.
P.S. The fortune slip that I pulled at a shrine the other day said I was in for 'terrible luck'.
I should take care on my next mission.
Dlanor A. Knox[]
To celebrate valentines, and show my appreciation for all these times, I hereby present to you this chocolate.
But, when it's valentines, I like to receive more than to give out chocolates.
I like chocolate, because I'm a kid.
I don't like hot chocolate, because I spill it easily
...and I can't really wash it off.
If Gertrude sees this letter, she will force me to rewrite it
...how burdensome
so I secretly sent this out before Gertrude can take a look at it.
~Chief Inquisitor of Eiserne Jungfrau: Dlanor A. Knox
Cornelia[]
Report: Days have still yet to warm themselves, and early spring has paid its first visit.
At this time of enjoying the warmth of a heater, I bid your majesty greetings and fair wishes for good health.
The delinquent who dared to disrupt this day of last year has been taken into custody.
I have with me the sense of a law enforcer, carrying on my daily duties.
~Third-class Priest: Cornelia
Gertrude[]
Report: Today sure is cold
bid my wish that your majesty may hold on to good health
hereby present my blessings of St. Valentine's
and alongside a piece of chocolate full of love and respect.
~First-class priest: Gertrude
P.S. I've recently made a cat my pet, it's really cute.
Which one does your majesty like more? Cats or Dogs?
Zepar[]
It's St. Valentine's Day! Have you been enjoying it so far?!
I certainly have, no surprises there! After all, today is the day when it's alright to hunt down late-blooming boys with the sweet poison of chocolate.
I never let escape any prey that I've set my eyes on.
That's right, this chocolate here isn't just any old Valentine's chocolate.
Who knows, perhaps I'm warning you about a crime that's about to occur...?
There's a hesitant wanderer lost in the meadows of love - you.
Try your best to avoid being bitten by me☆
~The Hunter of Love, Zepar
Furfur[]
It's St. Valentine's Day! Have you been doing alright lately?
There's no day when chocolate melts as sweetly in your mouth as it does today.
Please, no matter how small a piece of chocolate you may be eating, remember to savor the feelings packed in it to the fullest.
Now, that chocolate you received, do you still think it's just simple friendship chocolate?
If you'd say it's something more, you've come to understand the heart of a girl who can't hide her blushing face
All of my chocolates are, naturally, confessions of true love.
For your showoffs with your big talk about not needing love or women, I'll give you a body that can't live without love anymore, so be prepared☆
~The Trainer of Love, Furfur
Beatrice[]
HAPPY VALENTINES, ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND, WHAAAAAAAAAAAT AAAAAAA PIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~!
Just to let you know, I have eaten all those chocolates you got in the mail. If you ever let me catch you, you are DEAD! I will have you know that you will never be able to receive chocolates from girls, EVER!
...But oh well, I really do pity that pathetic look you have, so here you go. I have saved you a piece of chocolate, so be grateful for my kindness~!
I-I was thinking... of making you some handcrafted chocolate, but mine just tasted too good.
It would've been a pity to send it to you, so I ate it all myself.
If it's just for you, I think chocolate bought elsewhere will be good enough.
~The Golden Witch, Beatrice
Ange Ushiromiya[]
To onii-chan:
I think onii-chan has already received tons of chocolates.
Most of them are probably just trying to catch your attention, so don't get all excited about'em.
Unlike back in onii-chan's time, girls nowadays send chocolates to even just normal friends.
My chocolate is handcrafted, and for some reason I've shaped it into a heart,
but don't overthink ...there's nothing special behind it
~From your cute little sister: Ange
