Birthday Quote

Uwaah, thank you for doing all of this for me…! You even prepared a mascot-themed cake for my birthday~♪

Party at the Agency

1/3

Ahh, it's already my birthday… Time sure flies…

I've been at everyone else's birthday parties, so I was more or less prepared for this to happen, but…

It still feels kinda embarrassing. We've got Shinkai-senpai's birthday to celebrate tomorrow, so how about we call it a day instead…?

Happy birthday!

Thank you very much. I'm sorry for being rude, especially when you took the time to prepare everything for me…

I mean, I'm happy that I get to celebrate my birthday here, but… I feel bad that you've prepared this much for me…

—No, I shouldn't think negatively about this… right? I'll be sure to enjoy the party.

Ahaha… You saying that with a smile on your face stopped me from getting any more negative.

Thank you so much for preparing this all for me.

Birthdays happen only once a year, so I'll make sure to avoid saying anything negative for the day.

Did you not want a party?

Ah— I'm sorry. It's not that, I'm just nervous, really…

I never have anything interesting to say — What am I gonna do…

I don't have to say anything interesting…? Y-You sure…?

No! That's not what I meant. It's just— It feels nerve-racking to have your birthday party at an agency…

Ahh, but I really need to stop moping like that… It'd be rude to everyone who came over to celebrate.

Now that the party is here and ready for me, I'll just enjoy myself for the day.

2/3

Ah, Miss Producer. Thank you for your hard work today.

That's a large box you're holding. Would you like help carrying it?

It's full of presents for me…? I've gotten so many by now, who could they be from?

From someone in RhythLink…

Ahh, from Tenma-kun? There's a bunch of bread in here.

He told me about how tasty this bakery's bread was a few days ago. I think I'll eat it with everyone now that we're all here together.

Heheh, they all look so tasty — I dunno what to eat first.

Wha— From Hasumi-senpai?

He told you to give it to me 'cause he might be late to the party, huh…?

He's very diligent about these things, isn't he? But I've been getting along with him lately at the Manga Club, so I'm happy to get a present from him~♪

They're from Gardenia.

Ooh, from Gardenia? I'll have to thank them the next time I show up at the club.

…Huh, there's some ominous flowers mixed in with the others. Who picked this one out…?

It says "Enjoy as a hot driNK" on the birthday card. This is just getting more cryptic…

This is such a pretty bouquet. Ah, there's a birthday card attached.

It's from Shino-kun. "Happy birthday"… His hand writing is as soothing as his presence is~♪

I'll have to thank him later. Thank you for handing it to me, Miss Producer.

3/3

Thank you for your hard work, Miss Producer.

Haah, it's finally over… It's waaay easier celebrating someone else's birthday over your own.

I'm really just not made to be the main role of anything…

You're always the main role.

Ahaha… You almost sounded like Morisawa-senpai there.

But… you're right. I have juniors now, I need to make sure to be in the spotlight more.

I can't call myself a "main role" of anything yet… but I don't think my old self could've ever imagined me being this positive about my future.

You're not the type to just flatter someone… right?

Everyone is a main role to you, in their own way? I should have more confidence in myself?

Heheh, thank you very much. Hearing you say that made me think a bit more positively.

You looked like you had fun.

I did enjoy it, but now I'm dead tired.

I'm sure it's rough for you, too. You'll have to prepare the next birthday party as soon as you're done cleaning up after this one, right?

Tomorrow's Shinkai-senpai's birthday, so I'll help you out. I'm good at labor work, so…

Haha… Yeah, I did have fun.

Ever since I joined the agency, I haven't been able to hang out with everyone in Ryuseitai outside of work as much.

Tetora-kun and Shinobu-kun looked happy about it too — I'm so glad… Thank you so much for making this party for me.

Birthday Story

With Chiaki

Fuhahahaha! Takamine, happy birthday!

Ugh— S-Stay away from me…!

What's up, what's wrong? Why're you stepping away from me? That'll make me feel lonely, Takamine…!

You hugged Tetora-kun and Shinobu-kun on their birthdays, didn't you…? I've been dreading the day you'd do the same to me…

Ohhh, I get it now! You wanted me to hug you, didn't you? I'm sorry for not noticing sooner! Well then, here I go— squeeeze~♪

No, I'm trying to say the opposite here — Ahhh, jeez, you're so suffocating…!

With Kanata

midori~ happy [birthday].

i brought you [that thing] you have wanted for so long…♪

The Kanatee plushie that was only sold on Marine Day!? It sold out five seconds after release and was gone just like that…!

C-Can I really have this for myself?

yes. that is why i brought it, after all. i found the very last one lying deep in the [storehouse]. please give it lots and lots of love, okay?

The last one…? Thank you so, so much. I'll be sure to treasure it…♪

With Tetora

Happy birthday, Midori-kun!

Thank you… Isn't this rough for all of you..? I mean, Shinkai-senpai's birthday is literally the day after mine.

Huh? Why would it be? There's no way we'd have a rough time when it comes to birthday celebrations.

I'm actually happy! 'Cuz I get to tell you happy birthday from the bottom of my heart!

Keep tomorrow's plans for tomorrow, and for today, let's celebrate your birthday with all we've got~!

"All we've got"…? Ahaha, you sure are full of energy, Tetora-kun.

With Shinobu

Midori-kun, happy birthday! I'm so happy we get to celebrate your birthday together again~♪

Mhm, me too… Though I'm still not used to celebrating it outside of my family…

But I think I feel relaxed, since I know practically everyone here — Like, it doesn't feel too bad being here, I think…

Ah, that's right… The producer made the cake for me. It's got Ryuseitai's colors on it…

I can't eat it all on my own, so let's eat it with everyone.

Yes, let's! I'll go prepare the plates and call everyone over!

With Tatsumi

Happy birthday, Takamine-san. May light shine upon your future. Amen. ♪

Wow… It feels really genuine when it's said in a form of a prayer.

Ah— I'm so sorry. I think I was being rude there, wasn't I…?

Oh, never. I would be rather glad to know if you felt a connection with it. Religious faith was never something to be afraid of.

We may spend time together at Gardenia, but I still don't know you particularly well yet. I hope that we will be able to deepen our bond in the future.

Ah, yes… If you're fine with talking to me, then I'd be glad to.
