After receiving a gift from Epsilon-san and watching her return to the party As I wondered what would happen next
Now then, theres a bit of time before the next side event, so please feel free to enjoy some casual conversation until then.
Oh? Ohh Does that mean Ive already shifted into the parallel world? I didnt notice it at all. In that case, I guess its fine to spin the garapon now.
Alright, whos next?
So its Olivia-san next huh. She showed off some amazing skills during the talent show Oh! Maybe shes prepared something like a sculpture?
But then again, Olivias sculpting she only learned it out of necessity. Its not really a hobby of hers, and I doubt shed show off her work unless it was a special occasion like this, so maybe it wouldnt be a sculpture after all
Before long, Olivia-san arrived and assumed a prayerful posture in front of me.
[Due to time constraints, this is in simplified form, but allow me to offer a prayer Miyama Kaito-sama, once again, I bid you a happy birthday. It is a tremendous honor to be present on the day commemorating the greatness of Miyama Kaito-sama.]
[A- Ahaha thank you.]
By now, Ive spoken with Olivia-san quite a bit, so I can tell this isnt flattery or exaggeration, its genuinely how she feels.
[This may be modest, but I have brought a gift in celebration. It was quite difficult for someone as inexperienced as myself to choose something worthy of offering to Miyama Kaito-sama However, according to reference texts, something useful in everyday life is considered preferable, so Ive prepared this.]
[Thank you a long, thin box? Is it a pen?]
What Olivia-san handed me was a long, elegant-looking box. I thought it might be a pen for a moment but it seemed a little too big for that.
[These are chopsticks. I learned from Mizuhara Kaoris shop and other sources that Miyama Kaito-sama enjoys Otherworld cuisine Japanese food, so I prepared these with the hope you might use them when dining.]
[Ah, I see, chopsticks huh. Speaking of which, I didnt have any good ones, so I really appreciate this. Ill make good use of them.]
Since I often eat with Lilia-san and the others, I usually end up eating Western-style meals but if I ask someone like Illness-san or the head chef, they can make Japanese dishes too, and if I ask Alice, she can even make ramen. So, having my own chopsticks would actually come in handy quite a bit.
Also, in this worlds magic system, theres a spell that can clean and disinfect small items like utensils. Its apparently not very efficient for dishwashing due to the magic cost, but for something like cleaning a pair of chopsticks, its perfectly usable. Its also a spell simple enough that even I can use it, so I imagine Ill have plenty of chances to use these personal chopsticks.
When I thanked her, Olivias expression lit up with joy. I could feel her happiness at seeing her chosen gift being appreciated, it was just heartwarming.
[Come to think of it, Olivia-san, when is your birthday?]
[Mine? I hesitate to call it a birthday, but if we define it as the day I was created by Shallow Verna, then it would be the 28th day of Second Water Month, the day the Treaty of Friendship was officially established.]
[I see Wait, wasnt the Treaty of Friendship officially signed during Heaven Month?]
[That is indeed the case. The day the treaty was globally established is indeed the 15th day of Heaven Month, thats a fact. The representatives of the Three Realms gathered before the public and signed the treaty on that day, so theres no mistake. However, the actual internal agreement was reached during the Second Water Month. Discussions on how the original treaty text would be managed took place after that, and I was created on the 28th day of that same month to take on that role.]
Now that she mentions it, indeed, the Treaty of Friendship was officially signed on the 15th of Heaven Month in the present-day Friendship City Hikari. But naturally, there would have been a lot of preliminary discussion and coordination beforehand.
And now that I think about it the 28th day of Second Water Month is actually pretty close to my own birthday. Its coming up soon, actually.
[Then in return for today, Id love to celebrate your birthday when it comes.]
[…Celebrate?]
[Why do you look like I just said a word youve never heard before?]
[Ah, n- no, I sincerely apologize. I must have misheard Miyama Kaito-samas words. Shamefully, it sounded to me as though you said you would celebrate my birthday]
[I did say that though I mean, youve been gaining all kinds of experiences, right? I think itd be nice to celebrate your birthday too. Well, honestly, I just kind of want to try doing it, so if youre okay with it, Id really like to.]
[Eh? Ah, um, if it is your will, Miyama Kaito-sama, then]
Olivia-san looked at me with a puzzled expression, like her mind was filled with question marks. It didnt seem like she fully grasped the conversation or rather, the idea that Id want to celebrate her birthday didnt register with her at all.
Given that shes more like a God, I guess shes never really had any connection to birthday celebrations in the first place.
Well, this was a totally spur-of-the-moment idea, but Ive decided, Ill definitely celebrate Olivia-sans birthday when it comes.
Serious-senpai : [Is that really okay? Olivia might faint from sheer embarrassment, you know?]
? ? ? : [In a way, you could say this is Kaito-sans signature move, a body blow straight to the stomach.]
