Characters: Kujo Household.

 

Title: The first ‘Happy Birthday’ is from you

 

-Kujo Household: Dining Room-

 

Kirishima: Woah!? Why the heck are the eggs in the salad oil cut into normal round slices!?

 

Kaname: Why, you ask…… I was planning on serving them up properly though.

 

Miyase: ………… 

 

Kirishima: What I was talking about was like how Miyase is always making them. 

The eggs are cut into stars or flowers, you know.

 

Kaname: Then actually tell me that from the start.

 

Kirishima: You should know without me saying it.

‘Cause you’re always eating Miyase’s salad too.

 

Miyase: …… Um, maybe I ought to help out as well—

 

Kirishima & Kaname: No!

 

Miyase: Haha, but…… 

 

Kirishima: Today’s your birthday party.

We agreed that only we’d be doing the prep work.

 

Kaname: We’re making the dishes exactly according to the online recipe so there’ll be no problem with the taste and appearance.

You just sit there and drink tea, Go-san.

 

Miyase: …… Thank you.

 

Shindo: Well now, most of the preparations are in order. 

 

Kirishima: You’re late, man! Did you buy the flowers or not?

 

Shindo: Can’t you see that for yourself? Here, put them on display.

 

Miyase: Wow…… what beautiful roses.

And plenty of them to boot.

 

Shindo: The sales clerk came on strongly saying that there definitely has to be 108 of them.

 

Kaname: 108 roses…… 

Wait, doesn’t that mean “please marry me”?

 

Shindo: …… I see. So that’s why they randomly wished me all the best.

 

Kaname: What did you say in your order……?

 

Shindo: I asked for a bouquet of flowers to gift someone whom I’ve been in the care of.

Such as with the cooking, laundry, cleaning…… 

And I also told them that it’s someone who faithfully sees me off and welcomes me home.

 

Kaname: Well, of course they would misunderstand…… 

 

Kirishima: But everything you said is true anyway!

 

Miyase: Haha. What a delightful story to go with the roses.

I’ll arrange them with care.

 

Kujo: My apologies. I’ve finally finished up with my work.

 

Kirishima: Oh, Kujo-san! Good job!

 

Miyase: Thank you for all your hard work. I apologize for making you go out of your way for the sake of my birthday. 

 

Kujo: No, it’s fine…… 

…… Go. Happy birth……………… 

 

Miyase: ?

 

Kirishima & Kaname: Birth……?

 

Kujo: …… Nothing.

 

Miyase: Huh?...... 

 

Shindo: What’s with that?

 

Kujo: ………… 

 

[Ding Dong!]

 

Kirishima: Alright, she’s finally here.

 

Miyase: And who would this person be……?

 

Kirishima: It’s Rei.

 

Miyase: !

 

Kujo: Sorry to ask this of the birthday boy, but I’m leaving you to greet our guest, Go.

 

Miyase: Of course. I will gladly do the honor of such, but…… 

 

Kujo: You should make haste and go.

 

Kirishima: Since we’re still not done with getting ready here.

 

Kaname: There might even be time for a stroll of the gardens.

 

Miyase: Oh…… 

Well then, I shall leisurely go about welcoming Rei-san.

 

Shindo: …… You sure gave thought to calling over Izumi as a surprise. 

 

Kirishima: ‘Course you’d wanna see your favorite person for your birthday.

 

Kaname: Oh…… So that’s why you stopped yourself from saying it before.

 

Kujo: ………… 

 

Kirishima: Alright then!

Let’s all shout out happy birthday too when they get back.

 

Kujo: Yes, let us.

 

-Kujo Household: Entrance Hall-

 

Miyase: Good evening. You must be cold. Please come on in.

Thank you for taking your time out and coming here.

Huh? Oh dear…… You flatter me so.

Hearing you wish me a happy birthday makes me feel all tingly inside.

But thank you. I’m so happy.

For me to be able to celebrate in this manner with you and everyone…… This is truly a blessed birthday.

I will remember this for the rest of my life, always.
