Mito/Natsume/Suzume's birthday 2019 - 4

Birthday, thinking about feelings - 4

[Sanshuu Middle - Home Ec room]

Mit: Haah, haah... I have to clean up and remake it, fast.

Aya: Mito-senpai? Why are you cleaning the floor here, all by yourself?

Hin: Did something happen?

Mit: Me, Kohagura-san and Suzume-san were making cake batter, but...

Mit: I got startled by the sudden oracle, dropped the whole bowl and wasted it all...

Mit: I have to remake it while Kohagura-san and Kagajou-san are out fighting.

Mit: Let's see, we still have eggs, and flour too... Uuu, it's heavy.

Aya: Um, if it's okay with you, could I help out as well?

Hin: Yeah, I'd love to join you too.

Mit: Oh no... I'm fine. I'm the one to blame for being so careless...

Hin: But wouldn't it be hard to remake it from scratch all by yourself?

Mit: But... The three of us are doing it to treat everyone else.

Aya: Then at least let us help you with the batter until the two of them come back.

Hin: Yeah. There's no problem if we're just helping you get back to where you were, right?

Mit: Well, if you insist...

Mit: Thank you very much. You two are so skilled, you're lifesavers.

Hin: I should be thanking you instead.

Mit: Eh? Why are you thanking me?

Aya: Because it's fun to make cakes while thinking of somebody. I'd like to thank you as well.

Mit: Ah...

Mit: (What if what we did was rude to the others?)

Mit: (We didn't think about their feelings and selfishly declared that we'd be treating them...)

[Jukai]

Nat: What's wrong, Utano? Your movements are sluggish...

Uta: Pardon me, Natsume-san. I didn't think the Can't-celebrate-Mii-chan's-birthday syndrome would be so severe...

Nat: Utano... Did I end up robbing everyone of their desire to celebrate our birthdays...?

Yum: By the way, Suzume-san, what happened to make your attitude so different from how you were last month during Mebuki-san's birthday? [1]

Yum: "I wonder what they'll do for my birthday!" You were quite excited it for it at the time.

Suz: (Guh, dammit Miroku-san! Don't say that in front of Natsume-san!)

Suz: What are you talking about? I just wanted to do something for the people that protect me all the time!

SHI: Kagajou, you're bullshitting right now, aren't you? Enough with the flattery, out with it already!

Suz: E-Eek, SHIZUKU-Sama! I'm sorry! But I'm not lying at all, nope.

SHI: And that's bullshit too! You know what's going to happen if you lie to me once again, don't you!? Huh!?

Suz: I-I'm sorry! I'll tell the truth now, so forgive me!

Suz: I actually thought there'd be some grandiose celebration and was really looking forward to it!

Suz: But Natsume-san and Mito-san said they didn't want that, so I played along with them and lied!

Nat: ...So that's how it is. Suzume, I'm sorry...

Suz: Eek, I'm sorry! Natsume-san, this is all... This is all my fault, I assure you.

Nat: Suzume...
