Chapter 38.5. Birthday. (Extra)
A birthday, it would seem, is a holiday where you can gather with friends, celebrate properly… But, in my childhood it was not like that at all.
When I was in elementary school, no one was going to my birthday party at all. Except maybe relatives. But the feeling was not the same as when you celebrate with friends. Yes, in principle, any holiday is more beautiful with friends.
Also today's birthday party, which became for me the first among new acquaintances. Morning – September 21.
There was a knock on my glass door, which made a sound not too pleasant for me. And I had to get out of bed and open the door to get rid of that sound. Going down the stairs and continued to listen to this sound and wanted to yell "Yes, shut up already." Well, fortunately I didn't, because Nila was standing on the threshold with a cake in her hands, and also with a hat on her head.
— Happy birthday, Akishito! And now let's go eat the cake, because I got hungry while I was carrying it to you.
After not getting enough sleep, I invited Nila to the main room, and I went further to sleep in my room. Unfortunately, this only angered Nila and she woke me up even harder than the first time.
She brought some kitten with her and put it right on my head, so that my peace was finally disturbed.
— Nila! What the hell have you been doing since this morning?! Where did you get this cat from?
But it turned out that it wasn't Nila who brought the cat, but Mika. And I am because of my sleepy state, I thought on the Nile.
— Sorry, Akishito, I thought you'd like the kitten, but it's like this. I bought it specially for your birthday to please…
I moved from a recumbent position to a sitting position, against the eye and bowed my head in front of Mika.
"I owe you an apology, Micah. Of course I love cats, I just would like to sleep longer, and such unexpected morning visits, even on my birthday, could make me lose my temper.
— Well, well… Stuck in the laptop again until late… That's not enough sleep! Come on! Got up and stretched! – Neela started screaming, who, as it turned out, was sitting next to Mika in the room. Apparently my eyes haven't recovered well enough from sleep yet.
— The rest of the guys should be coming soon, so wait here. I'll go to the store, and you, Mika, stay with Akishito. Just don't eat the cake without me!
She hurriedly said all this and left the room.
There was silence in the room. All I could hear was the purring of the kitten lying on my lap. Mika looked at me with such a look, as if she wanted to ask "like?". I was just stroking this cute, fluffy, red-haired creature that brought Micah. After that, he jumped off me and crawled to the door. And just at that moment the doorbell rang. This time Karou came again, with a cake in her hands.
— Happy birthday! I wish you not to get into any more troubles that have happened to us before!
And after these words, unexpectedly, a kiss on the cheek followed. Mika was in shock, probably more than I was, because when I turned around, I saw her so shocked that she couldn't stand on her feet. Apparently her shyness has not gone away. The complete opposite of Sister Zh.
And I didn't know how to react to it, because such an unexpected kiss… At least I knew that Karou was in love with me. But the situation was saved by the fact that other guests came. Namely, Fukishito and Miguru. How grateful I was to them at that moment…
But... they again came with a cake that was actually several times larger than the others.
Looking at the table, they were shocked by how many cakes were already there. It made them uncomfortable.
— As I see, we are not the first to bring the cake. How are we going to eat it all? Miguru began to speak, after which Nila suddenly appeared.
— Yeah! Do you think how to grab cakes? But I'm ready to eat everything. Let's get started soon!
— So wait, Nila, firstly, it's not even evening yet, secondly, you were going to the store, but why? You don't have any food in your hands…
— But what I went for will remain a secret until the evening. "with a grin on her face," she said. If she says something with a smirk on her face, then something serious is planned… I was afraid to imagine what she had bought there.
Then both versions of Ella came to visit me. And again, the two of them were carrying two more cakes. What do we have today? Birthday or cake day?
Finally, after all these cake people, at least one person came without him! It was the Cadre that brought us the drinks.
— Well, kids, when will we celebrate? Wait a minute… What do you have here… A trading feast? Well, what are you… This is not how things are done, it was necessary to discuss who would bring the cake. And here they were.. One, two… In general, more than two are already a lot!
"It's all according to plan, old Kaji! Nila said, getting closer and closer to the cakes.
Ah, that's how it is… Such a large number of cakes was Nila's original plan to get them later. Well, let her eat them herself. Let's see how long it will last.
— And let's celebrate now, well, since almost everyone has already gathered. How not to celebrate here.
Nila quickly poured alcohol for herself and Kaji and they sat down at the table, everyone else also dispersed, the girls can be said to have snuggled up to me too tightly. On the one hand, there was a certain inconvenience due to the lack of personal space, and on the other hand, beautiful girls snuggled up… Well, you know what was going on in my soul…
Nila had already drunk several shots of whiskey and suddenly, standing up unexpectedly, said:
— Akishito! I love you! P-right hard, hard! Let's go to the room, I have a surprise for you there.
I thought it would be what I suspected. Nila swelled up again and started talking nonsense. Of course, everyone was shocked about such an unexpected turn and all the girls at once disagreed with this statement.
— Come on… Prove that you love him! I kissed him on the cheek today and proved that I love him, and what can you do? Karou shouted.
A complete mess began at the table… And it got to the point that a pillow fight began, which later became a bad habit for girls. And this very pillow fight was still peaceful, because if at least someone had a map with them, there would be a complete house at all…
The struggle was accompanied by conversations about who should stay with me to live. I just didn't want to participate in this, I was going to go to bed again, but Kaji stopped me and said. Let's go talk about something important.
We walked away, leaving Migura all alone, among the house that the girls were doing.
It was cool outside, so I had to throw on balloons and a coat and go outside to talk to Kaji.
— Listen, Akishito, there is a method to make hidden cards. To do this, it is enough to summon one of the masking cards, such as the Moon. So here you go, I called her for you. I feel like you're going to need it soon.
So indeed, in the future I used this card. But this is a slightly different story…
But how did the story with the "eternal" imminent girls end? And the fact that Nila, Karou and Ella stayed with me.
The Ells stayed with me because they didn't have a permanent home… And here are Nila and Kara…
Nila wanted to stay for a day to finish the cakes, but... she stayed here forever, and Karou is with her for company.
You know, even though the birthday was not what I imagined, but still it was better than celebrating a birthday without any friends at all.
