Chapter 2237: Miyama Kaito's Birthday Celebration Party

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

Following the tapestry and smartphone stand, a third round of merchandise has been confirmed: the Alices Random Box, a collection of tin badges set to go on sale in late May. There will be six different designs, randomly included in each box.

While they will be partially available at events like the Fukuoka Hobby Show, the main method of purchase will likely be online, just like the tapestry and smartphone stand.

Once the sales page is ready, well share the information in an activity report.

While I spun the garapon in order and received presents, the main focus during the live performances was still very much on the music itself.

Each group seemed to get one song, and right now, Dragon Soul was rocking the stage with a cool, high-energy rock performance. It was also a good time to grab something to eat, and as I was just thinking that Id like some food, Ein-san had already prepared a plate for me. As expected of her, always a step ahead.

The food, unsurprisingly, was excellent. With so many skilled cooks around, it was no surprise everything tasted amazing. Alice had mentioned that Kuro had aggressively pushed for baby castella, but so far, I hadnt encountered anything like that.

Think its about the right time?

Unn? For what?

Well, everyones had a chance to watch the game tournament or the concert and get some food, so I was thinking, its time to bring out the birthday cake.

Ahh, yeah. Most of the light eaters are probably done eating by now. Im a light eater myself, and Im already finished.

Did you even eat anything?

Eating is such a hassle, you know? Im glad I have a body that doesnt require food. I can just eat when I feel like it.

Even though shes made improvements in a lot of areas, Fate-sans laziness is still very much intact. She usually finds things like eating too much trouble.

That said, she does nibble on snacks from time to time when the mood strikes her, and when were together, she tends to eat or drink more often, maybe because she wants to share the same taste experience with me.

Anyway, that aside birthday cake huh Now that she mentioned it, it hadnt shown up yet. Since it was a standing buffet-style party, they mustve planned to serve the cake a little later, as more of a dessert centerpiece.

Alright then, well bring the cake out in 5 minutes. Game tournament participants, please pause and focus your attention over here.

Come to think of it, who ended up making Kai-chans birthday cake? Wasnt there a bit of drama about this during the planning stage?

There were too many people who wanted to make it. There are the obvious ones like Shallow Vernal-sama and Makina, but theres also Ein-san and the others good at cooking who wanted in. If we let everyone participate, it wouldve turned into a disaster, so yeah, the decision process was a bit tense.

Didnt Kurorin insist on making it a baby castella cake or something?

Thats just her illness snapping again, so her idea was firmly rejected.

Apparently, the cake situation got pretty heated. I could easily picture Shiro-san and Makina having a silent standoff over it.

As for Kuro, well Alice really did a great job keeping her in check. I mean, I do like baby castella, but an actual baby castella cake No thanks. Im sure she pushed that idea somewhere else during the planning process

By the way, its got nothing to do with the cake, but what happened to that baby castella cushion Kurorin insisted was absolutely necessary and worked so hard to make?

Ahh, you mean the one she aggressively pushed through. We placed a few of them around the venues rest areas, but the main reveal will come a bit later.

Wait, she actually made something weird!? A baby castella-shaped cushion? Well, I mean, theyre round, so I guess in terms of shape, they could work as mini-cushions.

Sorry, we derailed in the conversation. And so, who ended up making the cake in the end?

That would be me. Letting anyone else handle it was just too risky. Im the safest choice.

[I still feel your decision on that was tyrannical. I havent come to terms with it.]

[I wanted to make a birthday cake for my beloved child too]

Be quiet. You two already do whatever you want everywhere else. Im not about to let you create some unholy entity in the name of a cake.

So the cake was made by Alice huh. Honestly, that was absolutely the right call, nothing could be more reassuring.

At least this way, I didnt have to worry about it being something absurdly bizarre, made from unknown ingredients that doesnt exist in this world, or glowing ominously for no reason.

Now then, its been 5 minutes, time for the cake to make its grand entrance.

That things huge!

It was derived from Diana, the Roman name of Moon Goddess Artemis. The idea was to use a name thats widely known but presented under an alternate form.

Serious-senpai : [Its huge? Ah, well, if you think about how it needs to be cut and shared with every participant, I guess making it colossal was inevitable]
