Mito/Natsume/Suzume birthday 2020 - 3

The secret perfect guard project - 3

[Hero Club room]

Suz: Gyaaaah!

Shi: Huh? I think I just heard Kagajou's shrieking...

Tou: Must be your imagination. So, what exactly should we do this time?

Tam: Well, a cake's a must, right? Also bam! A present!

Anz: Tamacchi-senpai, you just said that on a whim, you weren't actually thinking of anything.

Kir: A "bam!" sounds good, but what exactly will that "bam!" contain?

Yuu: What would make Suzume-chan happy?

Aka: Rice, right?

Uta: That's a good idea! There's always a ton of sparrows near rice paddies!

Gin: Uh... You're talking about actual sparrows... Like, the birds.

Sek: Agh, why did we let Mito go? Losing even one tsukkomi puts an enormous strain on the rest.

Kar: Does anyone know something Suzume wants all the time?

Ren: Of course. Yumiko, her Sentinel comrade and a descendant of my Miroku family, should know that.

Yum: Eh!? C-Certainly, my ancestor! Something Suzume-san wants would be... Yes, cash money!

Its: Eh, money!?

Chi: That's pretty fresh... Fresh like cash.

Tak: Gun-chan, did you say something?

Chi: N-Nothing! True, I do have an image of Kagajou-san as someone who always grumbles that she's short on money.

Son: She really wanted New Year's money, too.

Sum: But I think a monetary gift would be a bit awkward...

Hin: Wakaba-chan, any suggestions?

Wak: Let's see... Suzume is always asking for people to protect her, so why don't we just put her under thorough protection?

SON: That might be a good idea. Let's protect her so, so much that it'll make her sick!

Fuu: Okay! It's settled, then. Now then, let's plan out how exactly we're going to protect Suzume...

Suz: *wheeze* *wheeze* *wheeze* H-Help me... They're gonna end me... Put me down like a fish!

Meb: Suzume... Your timing is terrible.

Tak: This was supposed to be the important part... Gun-chan, what should we do?

Chi: L-Leave it to me, Takashima-san! *cough* Kagajou-san, you came at a good time.

Suz: Y-Yes?

Chi: Here's a hundred yen, now go away.

Suz: Eeeh!? That's kind of harsh, you know! I mean, I'll still take it if you're offering, though!

Meb: Lucky you, Suzume. Put it in your savings. Also, it's time for training. Let's go.

Suz: Eeeh!? What's going on!? Wait, hold on! I just barely escaped with my life...

Yum: Now, ladies! We Sentinels shall be excusing ourselves, with Suzume-san in tow. We leave everything in your capable hands!

Suz: Nooo! What did I even do!? I'm sorry, please forgive me, have mercy on meee!

Aya: U-Uh... Wasn't the topic of this discussion how to make Suzume-senpai happy? *fidgeting*

Sek: Well... She did get to pocket a hundred yen, so it's better than normal training... Right? Hahaha...

Tam: Alright! I swear we'll make the Suzume guard project succeed, for the sake of the considerate Mebu and her gang, too!

Uta: And if it makes Mii-chan happy, I'll do my best too! Let's go!

Yuu/Fuu/Kar: Yeah!
