Volume 2 Chapter 73 Shinonome-San's Birthday Party Was Enjoyable
Now, the video shoot with Nakagaito about the importance of planning for summer homework is also finished.
And tomorrow is Shinonome-san's birthday.
Even though there is a home economics practical class tomorrow, I'll take the day off for the party.
It's nice for a growing high school boy to be able to eat what they made in the cooking class, but I think it's not a good idea to eat too much before the birthday party.
I sent a message to Osaragi-san.
'Hello. I'm sorry, but tomorrow is Shinonome-san's birthday party, so please let us take a break from the home economics practical class.'
I received a reply right away.
'Understood.'
Since I confirmed that, I called Patisserie Ando Trois and asked them to make a birthday cake for my friend, to be picked up tomorrow afternoon.
When it was Hirose-kun's birthday, I called and reserved a box because we were having a party at Karatei. I also ordered a party plan that included hors d'oeuvres and decorations, but this time we're having the party at Shinonome-san's house, so we don't need that stuff.
"Nakagaito. I'm thinking of going to Don Quijote to buy the usual crackers and party supplies for Shinonome-san's birthday party tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
When I asked that, Nakagaito nodded and said,
"Yeah, I'll go."
"Well, I've already finished choosing the birthday present, so I won't buy anything too special."
"I don't have a lot of money either, so even if I want to buy something expensive, I can't."
That's the kind of feeling we had, so we bought some small party supplies and prepared for tomorrow.
"But seriously, you're really used to this kind of thing, huh?"
Nakagaito said so, so I replied with a wry smile.
"Well, I'm not really used to it. But nowadays, there are many websites on the internet that provide information on what to do in situations like this. I just refer to them and make my own adjustments before taking action."
"Even being able to do that much is not normal, I think."
"Well, I just wanted to change from my middle school days, so I made up my mind. I'm sure you've changed quite a bit too, haven't you?"
"Well, yeah, maybe you're right."
"People can change quite a bit, whether for the better or the worse."
And the next morning.
Since Shinonome-san's house is where the birthday party is held this time, there won't be any video recording.
Well, as a YouTuber with my high school debut video, I've become somewhat popular, and I just uploaded Hirose-kun's birthday party video.
And Shinonome-san says
"Hey, what are your plans for today?"
"It's morning now and classes are over, so I'll go pick up the birthday cake in the afternoon. Are you planning to buy a birthday cake too?"
"Ah, that's okay. My high school friends are buying me a cake this year, so I don't need it."
"Then, would it be possible for your house to prepare some food?"
"Of course I'm fine with that."
"Hmm, I appreciate that."
And after school.
"Well, I'm going to Ando trois to pick up the birthday cake and birthday plate, but could someone please help me carry it?"
When I said that, it was once again Saikachi-san who raised her hand.
"Ah, then I'll go with you."
"Ah, yeah, that helps. So, can everyone else go to Shinonome-san's house first? I think it would be a good idea to help with the decorations if there are any."
I said that, and Nakagaito nodded in agreement.
"Understood. Let's go ahead and help with the decorations and cooking to finish the preparations."
Namiki-san also nodded and said.
"Yes, let's do that."
Then Shinonome-san asked.
"What should I do?"
"Well then, would you like to come with us, Shinonome-san? We can't have the main character help with the preparations."
"Okay, got it."
And so, we split up and started taking action.
I went with Saikachi-san and Shinonome-san to Andou Trois to pick up the birthday cake and birthday plates.
"Saikachi-san, thanks for joining me again this time."
"No problem, it's impossible to carry both the birthday cake and plates alone."
"But having not only the cake but also a birthday plate with a personalized message will definitely make it more exciting."
"Sure, that's right."
"It was good that we were together, right?"
"Well, maybe it's not as surprising to see the birthday plate and cake first, but it's better than being alone and bored."
While we were talking, we arrived at Ando Trois.
"Hello, Ikurumi-san. I came to pick up the cake and plate."
I said that, and Ikurumi-san smiled and nodded.
"Yes, this time it's a size 7 melon and blueberry rare cheesecake with a fruit message on a birthday plate. It's made properly."
"Indeed, as expected."
"Yes, after all, patisseries rely on trust. And you are a grateful repeat customer as well. It's already sliced this time."
"That's true. Haha, the cakes and fruits here are delicious, so I can trust them too."
The whole cake looks bad when cut badly, so it's better for a specialist to cut it.
So, we received a boxed birthday cake and a birthday plate, and then we headed to Shinonome-san's house.
"Excuse me."
"Excuse me."
When Saikachi-san and I hesitantly said at the entrance, Shinonome-san said with a wry smile.
"Yes, yes, please come in without hesitation."
And the living room was beautifully decorated with balloons, pretty garlands, and so on.
On the table, there were cup sushi, vegetable-wrapped roast beef, tulip fried chicken, potato salad, corn potage soup, and more.
"Thank you all for coming to celebrate my daughter's birthday."
The woman who brought the food and looks like Shinonome-san is probably her mother.
"Well, Shinonome-san has been helping me with various things since the beginning of the semester."
I said, and Shinonome-san blushed a little and said, as if trying to hide their embarrassment,
"W-Well then, let's start the birthday party."
"Happy birthday, Shinonome-san!"
"Happy birthday!"
With my cue, everyone clapped their hands together with the crackers they held, making a loud noise.
"Hehe, thank you everyone."
Then, when Shinonome-san sat in front of the birthday cake, the lights were turned off, and the candles on the cake were lit.
"Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you,
happy birthday dear Shinonome-san,
happy birthday to you."
And when everyone finished singing, the main character, Shinonome-san, blew out the candles.
Well, this is what makes a birthday party, right?
"Ah, thanks everyone."
Then, together with me and Saikachi-san, we handed over the presents chosen by Nakagaito and Namiki-san, and the two presents from Gouriki-kun and Hirose-kun, respectively.
"These are our presents for you."
"And these are from us."
"Ah, thanks."
Afterward, we raised our juice glasses and everyone started reaching for the food and cake.
The food and cake on the table disappeared in no time, just as expected.
Well, we hadn’t had lunch today, and with seven high school students gathering, this is what happens, right?
Right at that moment, Shinonome-san's mom brought us fruit punch.
It had mandarins, apples, bananas, watermelon, and sweet rice dumplings, making it quite a vibrant sight. But instead of soda, it seemed she had added ramune, so it foamed extravagantly, creating a somewhat lively atmosphere.
"Hmm, fruit punch is delicious in this hot season. And it might be good to try making an Andou-Trois too."
"And once we finish eating that, the party will be over."
"Well then, let's close the birthday celebration with the birthday person's words."
"Got it. Today, thank you everyone for gathering for my sake. I hope everyone had a good time."
And Shinonome-san's mother also says,
"Thank you for preparing various things for my daughter today. Please continue to get along well."
Applause rings out at the words of Shinonome-san and Shinonome-san's mother.
Yeah, I'm glad it went well this time too.
Well, it's not like we did as much as we did for Hirose-kun's birthday this time.
