Receiving Shiro-san’s gift, the only one left among the dangerous duo is Eden-san, which should be the last one. Before that time es, I guess my heart can calm down a little bit.
No, seriously…… It’s easy to forget, but everyone only had one day…… no, half a day to prepare this. However, everyone had prepared solid gifts for me, and I’m very grateful to them.
Then, after Shiro-san, Chronois-san gave me a clock that could be placed on my desk.. I wonder if this is because she is the Goddess of Time? The clock has a calm and mature design, which I personally like very much, so I’ll gratefully use it.
After Chronois-san, the next person to go up on the stage was Illness-san…… e to think of it, wasn’t it right around the time I received Shiro-san’s blessing? That was also the time Illness-san officially followed me as my exclusive maid……
Illness-san’s present to me was an elegant handkerchief embroidered with the images of Bell and Lynn. For something that was done in just half a day, this is quite the elaborate embroidery…… All I can say is that as expected of Illness-san.
After Illness-san, the next person I got to know was Sieg-san. This would be the period where we exchanged words for the first time.
[Kaito-san, happy birthday.]
[Thank you!]
[I know it sounds strange, but it’s really nice to be able to express congratulatory words like this. I guess it’s a good thing I have my voice back…… thank you for everything. To you, my beloved, I wish for you an overflowing amount of blessings…… I hope you will continue to be as healthy as you are now.]
As she said this, Sieg-san presented to me a white scarf that was very similar to the scarf she always wears.
Most of the clothes I wear were black, so I guess she thought of the color balance when she chose this scarf for me. I’m very happy.
“Now then, next up is Isis-san, please take the stage.”
[……Unnn.]
The next one is Isis-san…… I wonder what her present for me is? Isis-san is also a person whose financial resources were on a very different level, and I think she’d likely e up with something outrageous.
However, pared to others, I still feel like she has some mon sense, so I’m not that worried about her.
[……Kaito…… Happy…… birthday.]
[Thank you!]
[……This is…… my present…… for Kaito.]
[Is this…… a crown of flowers?]
Isis-san presented me with a crown made of colorful flowers.
[……I made it…… just like Kaito taught me…… thinking…… about Kaito…… a lot.]
It’s true that I once made a white clover flower crown for Isis as a present. Asking me to teach her how to make it, we made some crowns of flowers together……
Although it was only a few months ago, perhaps because I have had lots of fun days in this world, seeing the crown of flowers makes me feel a bit nostalgic.
[Thank you. I will treasure it.]
[……Kaito…… for being born….. and meeting with me…… thank you…… I love you…… From now and forever…… I will always be in your care.]
[Yes. Me too.]
As was the case with Sieg-san…… I guess this is what you call heart-warming presents. The joy that seemed to seep deep into my heart made me realize again how lucky of a person I am.
After Isis-san’s present, it would normally have been Alice’s turn to give her present, but since she apparently had the privilege of changing the order, Rei-san and Fia-san had their turn first.
What Rei-san and Fia-san had prepared for me was a handmade amulet made from a leaf with an unusual shape, a tradition that was apparently handed down among the Elves.
And after the two of them was Anima. Speaking of which, when I first met her, I was surprised by her strong personality…… Now, she has bee an indispensable part of my family.
Anima gave me a fountain pen with a calming design as a present. It was a present that was just like Anima, as she has been taking care of all the letters that e my way lately, and it looked very easy to use.
Next in line was Lillywood-san. Although she is also one of the Six Kings, she is an extremely sensible person, so I’m not worried about her at all.
Her present for me was a wooden accessory case, small but elaborate, and feels good to touch. It’s about the size of a pencil case, so it might be a good place to put the paper knife that Lilia-san gave me or the fountain pen that Anima gave me.
After that, I received one present after another. Eta and Theta gave me a pair of shoes and gloves, Sigma-san and Bacchus-san gave me something that looked like dumbbells.
[Happy birthday to you. I wish that you would also feel the happiness that I currently feel.]
[T- Thank you…… Pandora-san.]
Oh, that’s right, the next one is Pandora-san, who I met as the fake Phantasmal King…… Unnn, e to think of it, she could also be considered as a dangerous person, just in a different way than Shiro-san and Eden-san.
What in the world could such a person give me as a present……
[……My apologies. I didn’t have much time, so I opted to bring a safe present instead……]
[……Ummm, errr, what’s this?]
[Straw ropes and candles. These are consumable items, so I thought it would be better to bring as many as possible.]
[……T- Thank…… you……]
I’ve never in my life used these two things at the level where I could call them consumables, you know!? I mean, this big, red candle…… No matter I think about it, these are S&M goods……
S- Seriously, this person isn’t shaken at all…… She’s so scary.
[Incidentally, it doesn’t matter when, you can always invite me! I will teach you how to tie a person, and you can practice with this body of mine to your heart’s content……]
“Pandora, House.”
[……Shalltear-sama? T- That’s right. My apologies. I can’t spend too much time on this today. Let’s talk about this later……]
“No, you don’t have to e explain it to him again…… Just go back and sit in the corner.”
[T- That means, we’re going for neglect pl……]
“You’re wrong.”
Dear Mom, Dad————— How should I say this…… In a way, Pandora-san was just as usual. That ecstatic expression of hers was just too scary. Alice—————- She’s your subordinate, quickly do something about her.
Serious-senpai : [……I’m curious why she said straw ropes but, what’s with that crown of flowers regarding Isis? Was there a chapter like that?]
? ? ? : [It’s a newly-written content for the second volume of the light novel. If you’re interested, go check it out…… It’s also the volume where Alice-chan makes her appearance!!!]
Serious-senpai : [Stop with the stealth marketing……]
(T/N: Pandora said 荒縄/Aranawa, which means straw rope. S&M ropes are called 麻縄/Asanawa, and they’re made from hemp. Mom’s looking at me weird again. Halp)
(T/N: Isis with the crown of flowers was also used as a cover image for Volume 2.)
T/N: 29/181
