I love that his surprise has come from the fact that she's inadvertently mixing two traditions and not from the high-velocity chocolate to the face.
Well, when you're the Shitty Admiral, Akebono throwing things at you hardly qualifies as surprising.
Akebono?SHITTY, OUT!!You give him the chocs?And now all that's left is to get the chocolate to the Admiral without him noticing...Sure did!Hnn...?Yes! He's nodded off, all by himself!Got sleepy from too many sweets.Now's the perfect time to slip it into that chocolate mountain...What's the big deal mixing Valentines, Setsubun and Shitty together?Oh... you're giving me some Valentine's chocolate too, Akebono-san?I'm so happy...That was a tricky transport op, if I say so myself...Getting this chocolate over to the Admiral's office here without being found out..."Lightly Lewd Kancolle" Akebono and the Admiral 10
