14 February 2018

Characters: Revel

Title: A night fitting of me

-Revel’s Bar-

Kagura: …… And? What did you do afterwards?

Otani: You interested to know?

Kagura: Excuse me? Are you trying to pick a fight?

Maki: It’s a matter where you provided her with information as a member of Revel so we’re curious about it too.

Otani: Oh, right, that affair.

Hiyama: Is there more than the one?

Kagura: Hatori’s messing around so don’t pay him any attention, Hiyama-kun.

Otani: I wore her out a little but I properly saw her home.

Maki: That phrasing is going to invite misunderstandings.

Otani: Well now, it looks like Maki has seen right through me.

Kagura: God, you’re the worst. Is it alright if I pass on giving him the birthday present?

Hiyama: You, yourself, have been brooding over it for quite a long time now, Kagura.

How about giving it to him for the time being?

Maki: (Aki warned us not to say that the present was his idea……)

(But it’s Hiyama-kun saying it, so it should be fine.)

Otani: Oh, so Kagura chose it this year. I’m looking forward to it.

Kagura: Thank you oh so much for the added in flattery.

Here.

Otani: Is it okay to open it?

Kagura: It’s already yours so do what you want with it.

Maki: Happy birthday, Hatori.

Hiyama: Happy birthday.

Kagura: …… Happy birthday.

Otani: This is……

Maki: It’s a tie pin.

Hiyama: What an excellent design. Or do I ought to I say that it’s nothing less to expect of Kagura?

Kagura: It’s a lucky charm.

…… It wouldn’t be strange for you to be stabbed at some point by all the women you’ve dumped so far, after all.

Maki: …… Though that’s what Aki’s saying, what he means is that we’re always watching over you.

Hiyama: No matter what happens, we’re on your side. I believe in you all.

Otani: Thank you.

(As frustrating as the fact that those words are all I have to express my appreciation……)

I’ll treasure it.

Kagura: I hope you do. I made sure to pick one out that would go well with your suit.

Maki: I wonder how many times we’ve celebrated our birthdays like this.

Hiyama: Every year I look forward to finding out who will be choosing my present for me next.

Kagura: The bar is raised year after year though because of that.

Hiyama: I’d be happy with whatever I’d receive if it was from you all.

Maki: I also feel the same way.

Kagura: Of course, I wouldn’t be unhappy about it.

Otani: You can go ahead and look even more forward to when it’s my time to choose something for you.

Kagura: What’s with that nonchalance? It’s kind of irritating.

Otani: (...... It just means that I think of you all as important as well.)

[Ring Ring!!]

Otani: Hello? Yeah, got it. I’ll come pick you up so wait for me there?

You’re outside at the moment, aren’t you? It’s cold so go inside the building. It’s fine. I’ll know it’s you even from outside.

Ahaha, it’s the truth. Alright, see you later.

Maki: Was the call from her?

Otani: Yep. I’m off then.

Kagura: Don’t take her home and then eat her up now.

Hiyama: Have a nice night.

Otani: ……

Thanks for another year, everyone. Here’s to us from now on too.

And so, there on the chest of the gallant heading towards his rendezvous……

A new tie pin shone brightly.
