Today's my birthday, and it looks like I didn't grow any taller, so I'm glad… I'm feeling kinda content…♪
2017
You're giving me a present…? It's even got mascot character merchandise… I'm so happy…♪

Ah, yes… Thank you very much… Having my birthday celebrated makes me kinda happy…♪

Thank you for celebrating my birthday. Ah—You don’t have to wear a mascot costume. I won’t be upset if you stay as you are, really…♪
Birthday Greeting

1/3
A-Anzu-san… Hello. Do you have work to do as a producer today, even during the summer holidays?
Hm? Me…? I was asleep, but then Morisawa-senpai suddenly invaded my home…
Then he called out to me saying, "I took your favorite cushion as hostage! If you're a hero, then come and save it!"
Morisawa-senpai ruined one of my other favorite cushions before, too.1
I'll never forgive him…! I have to protect my cushion this time…!!
…I'm sorry. Please pretend you didn't hear that.
Thank you, that'd really help me… I don't remember ever becoming a hero or anything…
Actually, I can't believe he'd do something like kidnapping… When he's the one who keeps calling himself a hero…
Hm? Why're you giggling? Did I say something weird?
2/3
You said you'd take me to where Morisawa-senpai is, so I followed you, but… All of a sudden I have to wear this, too… Just what is—
Wait, now that I think about it, haven't I seen this sash before…?
Is it for a birthday party… Like, mine…?
Ah, no, it's just—Pretty much the only people who've ever celebrated my birthday before are my family.
This is the first time someone else has done something like this for me, so I'm not exactly sure how to react…
Maybe birthdays aren't so bad, after all…♪
Ah, you're right… I feel a bit bad that everyone's here for someone like me…
So this is what they were secretly talking to each other about in practice the other day, huh…
I was really curious about it since I couldn't hear it at all… But I'm happy to know that it was just to throw me a birthday surprise…♪
3/3
Woah—!! I-I'm so sorry!
Is that you, Anzu-san? I can't really see what's in front of me from all these presents…
There's so many… How am I supposed to take them all home with me?
W-Where did this come from!? This plushie is sold out in every shop right now…
Huh? You made it yourself because you couldn't get hold of one? You're amazing as always, Anzu-san!
Uwaaaah, thank you so much!! I'll cuddle it tightly when I sleep tonight…♪
Ahh, this one's from Tetora-kun and Sengoku-kun.
They said they chose it together, and that it’s definitely going to make me happy, or something…?
They told me not to open it right now, so I can’t wait to do that once I'm back at home…♪
Birthday Story
Chiaki
Today is your birthday, Takamine! Happy birthday, Takamine…! ☆
……
Hmm? No response? I don’t need one! I’m waiting right here with my arms wide open, so leap into my arms anytime!
“Why”? …Well, isn’t it more strange not to hug someone on the annual day of something this special?
I had a passionate embrace with Nagumo and Sengoku on their birthdays, so there’s no way I wouldn’t do the same with you! ♪
And so, without further ado! Come over, Takamine! If you won’t, I’ll do it myself~ Fuhahahahaha!! ☆

Tetora
Ossu! Midori-kun, happy birthday!
Heh, you’ve finally caught up with me and Sengoku-kun. Now we’re all the same age~♪
It’s not that big of a difference? I mean, that’s true, but…
You’re tall, so you look mature, yeah? But your birthday is after both of us, so…
Heheh! ♪ It feels like a good balance between the three of us!
Ah—But I wanna grow taller myself, so hmm…
Midori-kun, you don’t have to grow any bigger, ‘kay? Ooooh~!!! I’m gonna do my best to surpass you~! ☆
Shinobu
Happy birthday, Midori-kun~♪
Nishishi, our surprise party was a huge success~! You see, we'd been planning for this day in secret~♪
Huh!? You noticed how we were whispering to each other about something?
U-Uuu~ I really should've taken the initiative and hid everything from you… The ninja path is truly steep…
…“This is the first time people have celebrated my birthday like this, so I’m actually really happy”?
Wooo~! Midori-kun said he's happy! And he even smiled at me in a really nice way~!
Ahem. If you enjoyed it, then that's enough for me…♪
Subaru
Takamin, happy birthday~☆
Huh? Why do you look surprised? You were sparkling and smiling just a second ago~!
Yep, yep, you were smiling reaaally nice! I could never imagine the usual you doing that~♪
C’mon, smile like you were a second ago~ I loooved it~! ☆
Oh wait, right… Sari~ told me a bunch of stuff earlier. Stuff like, “don’t just say whatever comes on your mind”…
Was what I said just now alright? Tell me if it wasn’t, ‘kay? I don’t wanna ruin your birthday…
Imma get super pumped and have a blast so I can get to see you do that sparkly smile again~! ♪
Mao
“Takamine-kun, happy birthday-bon!”
Haha~ Yep, yep, it’s Basket-bon, the basketball fairy. I’m glad you still remember it.3
I thought doing this'd make you smile, but I didn’t even need to worry about needing to do that, huh?
Your Ryuseitai pals and friends all came, and they’re having a real blast with you here.
I thought maybe I could also do a comedy skit with Subaru for you, although I'm only expecting that to fail…… Hm? You wanna see it?
Wait, wait. So you want us to fail? …Wow, you really look like you wanna see this.
Alright, alright. I’ll do it just for you! You’re today’s protagonist, after all! Happy birthday, Takamine!
Tomoya
Takamine, today’s your birthday, right? Happy birthday~♪
“Thank you very much,” he says… Why’re you being so formal? We’re classmates, aren’t we?
Ahh, yep. I came here with Hajime, but… It’s not like I was against it, y’know?
I even bought you a present. Look, it’s mascot merch!
Of course I know you like this stuff. I’m pretty sure almost everyone in class knows you love mascot characters.
Don’t look so surprised and just take your gift, c’mon. Happy birthday, Takamine~♪
Hajime
Happy birthday, Takamine-kun…♪
I heard today was your birthday, so I came over to celebrate~♪
Wawa— Why are you bowing your head down in apology? Please, you don’t have to feel guilty about this~!
I didn’t come here because I had spare time during my summer break! I came because I wanted to celebrate your birthday~
Yes~♪ We are classmates, after all—I would love to get closer to you.
Ehehe. I hope we can get along once the next terms begins, Takamine-kun…♪
Birthday Present
When gifting Midori a flower box…
Huh? You're giving this to me…? Um, no, it's just—I didn't expect to get flowers…
Ahaha, they're so pretty… This is soothing in its own way. Thank you very much, Anzu-san…♪
Birthday Cake
Fruit Tart (HAPPY)
Heheh, it looks so tasty…♪ I don’t dislike fruits. I mean, I’m the son of a greengrocer, after all…
Shortcake (GOOD)
I like how shortcakes look… Don’t they kinda look cute? I wonder if there’s a shortcake mascot somewhere out there…
Chocolate Cake (OK)
Anzu-san, what kind of cake do you like? I just realized I’ve never asked you before…
Birthday Motion
