"Gift?"

Ichi Seika frowned.

It seems I haven't opened Qing's gift yet?

"Yes, it's the kitten's birthday soon. What gift did you give her before, sister?"

"Ichi Nijika then asked."

"Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen you give me any gifts... Were they all given to me privately back then?"

"... "

Cold sweat trickled down Ichiji Hoshika's forehead.

Memories began to flood my mind…

[Here's a Coke, a birthday present.]

[Here's some juice, a birthday present.]

This seems to have been a gift from when my mother was still alive…

What happens next...

[This is a hug. Isn't a hug from an adult warm? It's a birthday present.]

My birthday present to you today is that you'll sleep in the same room as me. That way you won't be lonely, right?

Although you don't have your mom and dad to celebrate your birthday with you today, you still have me! Happy birthday, this is your birthday present.

【Ah… I forgot… no, cough cough, I'll play you a piece of music as a birthday present!】

"... "

Ichi Seika broke out in a cold sweat.

"elder sister?"

Ichi Hoshika tilted her head.

"Ah... well... he'll like any gift I give him anyway, playing a tune for him would be nice too."

"Eh...that kind of thing would be awkward, right?"

Kita Ikuyo said with a subconscious look of disgust.

"!"

Goto Ichiri, who was originally going to listen to Iji Tomoka's advice, put the guitar back in.

What did you give them as gifts before?

Yamada Ryo asked Iji Tomoka.

“…give him something meaningful…he likes it very much.”

Ijichi Hoshika looked away and said.

"...My sister didn't give me anything before, did she?"

Ichi Nijika narrowed her eyes.

"It's been delivered!"

Ichi Seika became excited.

"I've given it to you every birthday!"

"So what did you give as a gift?"

"Something very meaningful..."

"... "

Nijika Ichi's expression fell.

"Everyone... let's figure out how to send gifts ourselves. There are no reliable adults here."

"But where should we hold the birthday celebration? Should we go and discuss it with Ms. PA?"

Kita Ikuyo asked.

"?"

Ichiji Hoshika looked at Kita Ikuyo.

"Why not just have your birthday on [Starry Sky]...?"

"Hmm? I think it would be better to hold the birthday celebration at your own home..."

"No, the Stars are definitely better."

The singer from Ichiji Star Danced with abandon.

"Since you usually stay in [Starry Sky], [Starry Sky] is definitely better!"

"But there should be other people coming..."

Ichi Nijika shook her head.

"For example, Ms. Kiku and the others, and we're planning to hold it in the evening, when [Starry Night] will be open for business."

“...That’s true…”

Ichiji Hoshika was speechless and could only nod in the end.

Chapter 319 Unrequited Love (Return)

"Senior Haru's birthday is coming up..."

Leaning against her own bed, Yuuko Otsuki thought to herself.

"Ugh... Damn it... Now whenever I think of Haru-senpai, that band ending scene just pops into my head..."

Yuuko Otsuki gritted her teeth.

"What kind of bewitching drug did you guys give our senior...? The arrogant, aloof, and gentle senior who only cared about me..."

Yuyuko Otsuki didn't know that at the time, it was simply because Kikuri Hiroi and Eliza Shimizu couldn't be subdued by gentleness, and Shima Iwashita didn't need gentleness.

This creates the illusion that she is only gentle to herself.

"Ugh…"

Otsuki casually clutched her chestnut-colored loose hair.

"Senior Haru... I... I must prove I'm better than the End Band..."

The girl's teeth were clenched.

"Then...then..."

What should I do next?

Yuuko Otsuki sighed.

Then he slowly pressed his hand against his chest.

"Tsk... Let's start with the next gift! I'll prove it to you!"

Yuyuko Otsuki jumped off the bed and quickly opened the closet.

Take a horse-shaped piggy bank out of the cabinet.

"...My...my savings from all this time..."

Clap!

The piggy bank was smashed.

The banknotes were thrown out.

"...Speaking of which, why would you store paper money in a piggy bank?"

Yuyuko Otsuki started complaining about her past self.

Then I bent down to get the banknotes.

They then discovered fragments at the bottom of the broken piggy bank, with the stopper opening unusually conspicuous.

"... "

Otsuki Yuuko's pupils trembled slightly, then she suddenly tossed her hair.

"I...I smashed it...just to show my determination! It wasn't because I forgot I could just open it..."

With that, Yuuko Otsuki quickly stood up.

Then he went outside and went down the stairs.

He picked up the broom amidst the astonished gazes of his parents and sister.

Then walk back to the room via the stairs.

Click...click...

"...The debris needs to be swept up thoroughly..."

Otsuki Yuyuko said softly.

...

……

.........

"Hey? The band is coming here to put on a show after they're done?"

Yuyuko Otsuki stared blankly at Ginjiro Yoshida in front of her.

"Yeah~ Because Haru asked me before~ And I really want that kind of youthful girl band to perform in my livehouse~ Yuyuko? Is there a problem?"
