Takashima/Sekka birthday 2019 - 6

A heartfelt "Thank you" - 6

[Hero Club room]

Tak: Thank you for coming to our party today, everyone!

Sek: Today we're going to express our gratitude for everything you've always done for us!

Wak: It feels weird to have the positions reversed like this, but we will take you up on this offer.

Anz: These decorations are lovely! Did the two of you do this all by yourselves?

Tak: Yeah!

Tam: Sekka putting this much effort into something... What brought this on?

Sek: Sekka-san here can do it when it counts. I suggested this party myself, after all.

Hin: And now, for the main event of this party! Let's bring out the cake!

Tou: You two even made a cake? If you just asked, me and Sumi-chan would've helped out.

Sek: We were unsure about doing it by ourselves, so we had Hinata help us out. Her Spartan training was really hard.

Hin: Heehee. It was their first cake ever, so I steeled myself to not allow any compromises.

Wak: A cake made under your rigorous watch... This should prove to be good. *munch munch*

Tak: How is it? Tasty?

Chi: *deep, thoughtful munching*

Tak: Gun-chan, what's wrong? Is it bad?

Chi: No, the opposite. My chest is just so full right now...

Chi: I get to eat the first cake made by you at your birthday party while sitting next to you, Takashima-san...

Tak: Ahaha, you're exaggerating. But I'm really happy you're eating my first cake ever, Gun-chan!

Sek: Nyahaha. If it makes her this happy, then it was definitely worth making this cake.

Hin: *cough* And now, I would like to make a present to the two of you from all the club members.

Sek: Eeh!? Hinata, we said we didn't need any presents!

Hin: Come on, don't be like that. Just accept it.

Tak: A photo album? Waah! It's full of nostalgic photos with everyone!

Hin: Everyone brought some photos to share, and we made this all together.

Tak: Amazing! Birthdays, Christmas, New Year, summer vacation! And even photos of us picking up garbage!

Sek: ...

Hin: Sekka-san, you're thinking "But why something like this", aren't you?

Sek: Sorry, was it obvious? I'm grateful for everyone's feelings, but...

Hin: It might be a little too forceful, but I wanted to deliver a message to you, Sekka-san.

Sek: Message?

Hin: Yes. Sekka-san. No matter what happens, let's keep memories we will never forget.

Tak: Yeah. Not that we can ever forget them! They're carved into our hearts!

Sek: Yeah. I hope so.
