A heartfelt "Thank you" - 5

[Hero Club room]

Tam: Hey, Tama and Anzu are first today! Hm? There's something on the desk.

Anz: A letter in a snow-white envelope... Could this be... a love letter!?

Wak: Wait a little! Look at the addressee. It says "For everyone".

Chi: That's Takashima-san's handwriting.

Nat: ...This isn't a runaway note, right?

Wak: Runaway note?

Nat: Yeah. The one you write before disappearing that says something like "I'm leaving to search for turban shells. Don't look for me."

Mit: That's a very weird comparison... But if she left a letter for everyone, then it might be something serious.

Uta: Now that you mention it, I haven't seen Yuuna-san around much lately.

Chi: T-That can't be... Takashima-san, why?..

Nat: Okay, let's go look for places where you can find turban shells, right now!

Chi: Got it!

Kar: Wait a little! I was hoping someone else would set them straight, but I can't hold it in anymore! The turban shells were just a comparison!

Its: And besides, shouldn't you check out what's actually written in the letter before dashing out...

Chi: Oh. Right. That was careless of me...

SON: It says "For everyone", so it's probably 
okay to open it.

Chi: Takashima-san, don't do anything rash!

Fuu: I see, so that's what it's about. Chikage, you can calm down. This is an invitation from Takashima and Sekka.

Chi: Invitation?

Fuu: "We will be holding our birthday party for the sake of our precious Hero Club friends. Everyone come!"

Shi: Our birthday party... For the sake of our friends?..

Aya: That's an unusual phrase to hear.

Fuu: "We will be accomodating everyone, so feel free to come empty-handed, without any preparations"... Or so it says.

Suz: "Come empty-handed, without any preparations". Is that supposed to be reverse psychology that means "prepare something"? 

Yum: Why, that is certainly a polite way to make a request.

Tou: Do you think so? I don't think Sekka and Takashima-san are the kind of people who would ask for something like that...

Fuu: Yeah. Now, a tsundere like Karin I could see doing that.

Kar: W-When have I ever done that!?

Wak: You're right. In that case, I suppose we should show up empty-handed, just like they asked.

Yuu: But it's their birthday, is it really okay for us to not do anything at all? Umm...

Nat: Karin, what do you, as a tsundere, think?

Kar: Let's see, if it was me... Wait, Natsume, not you too! Stop treating me as if I'm the local tsundere representative!

Hin: Great timing, I see you're all present.

Hin: I actually thought of a perfect birthday present for Yuuna-san and Sekka-san!

Hin: Would you mind lending me a hand for their sakes?
