>...Mm...

>Mwah...

>Booting up...
>...

p2
>Lily!
>Lily! Good morning!
>Morning~!

>It's morning!
>It's morning time!
>Wake up~
>Mm... Mwah. Good morning, Heath...
>You're full of energy this morning.

p3
>Also... Happy birthday.
>Happy birthday to you too, Heath!!

p4
>July 24th...

p5
>...Now then.

>Let's go over today's schedule.
>Okay.

>Marie and her mother will be coming over around noon...
>I'd like you to be their guide.
>A guide!

>There's going to be some food too.
>I'll be preparing that with Iri.
>So I need you to entertain Marie, Heath.
>I got it!

p6
>Erm, so...
>I'll be going to the house...
>...

>Lily? I've been thinking.
>What about?

>Birthday parties...
>are about celebrating the one whose birthday it is, right?
>>Congrats
>Yes.
>That's right.

>In that case... putting me aside...
>shouldn't it be the guests entertaining you, since it's your birthday?

>I mean, I'm not saying entertaining them is weird or that I'm against it or anything, but...
>It is kinda confusing...
>That's not it. Well... I understand where you're coming from, Heath.

p7
>But... just sitting around in the birthday seat
>wouldn't be vert fun, would it?

>Besides, it's your birthday too, Heath!
>I wanna take part in celebrating that too!
>Mmph

p8
>Yeah!
>You're right! Today is a birthday for both of us!
>It hasn't really hit me that it's my own birthday too...

>...In that case,

>if we keep celebrating your birthday...
>both next years and all the years after that, I'm sure it'll feel real.

p9
>Okay?

>You're right.

p10
>And so...
>Heath-chan! Happy birthday today~!
>Ah. I might've jumped the gun a bit.

>It's fine. Thank you.
>Today's that kind of day, right?
>That's right!
>But I wanted to get the party started with flowers.

>Ah.
>Also, Natsume said she's watching the house.
>I see.
>If I go, I'll end up causing a splash in more ways than one.
>The sentiment is more than enough... You go on and have fun!

p11
>Heh~ So this is Heath-chan's house~
>O-Oh right. This is the first time someone's come over to my house... or maybe not.
>The one-eye came here last time, didn't she?
>It's a strange feeling.
>*See chapter 25

>It was originally unoccupied.
>Is that so?
>Did the owner go somewhere?
>I don't know.
>It was covered in dust when I first found it, so they must've been gone for a long time.

>There were a lot of books from various countries in the house, though.
>Then maybe this person was a traveller?

>...If that's the case, maybe they're still on a journey somewhere as we speak?

p12
>Ah!
>I was supposed to entertain you two!
>Hold on! I'll go make some tea!
>Oh, don't mind us~
>So you were in charge of hospitality, huh.

>Erm... Are you okay with tea, Marie?

>Wh-What is it?

p13
>...Are you that happy to be coming over to my house?

>You're right.
>This book is from a pretty far off country.
>Ooh~
>Can you read this, Heath-chan?
>I learnt to read while reading it.
>Amazing! I'm surprised at how multi-lingual you are.

p14
>Well, I had a lot of free time...
>There wasn't really anything else to do until I met Lily...
>AH!
>What is it?!

>I need to go to Lily's estate for a bit!
>Oh, alright. Don't worry about us.
>Okay!

>Sorry! I'll be right back!
>I'll be sure to entertain you once I'm back!!
>Ahaha
>She's making some really noisy steps.
>But she seems to be enjoying herself, so it's fine.

p15
>I need to ask Iris about whether or not...
>I should really get "that" for Lily's present!
>Just to be safe!!

>Lily and Iris will likely be coming to my house together...
>so I should try to sneak in a chat with her before then...!

p16
>Huh?
>What are you doing?

>Today's your birthday party, isn't... HEY!
>Are Lily and Iris inside?

>I believe they're preparing the food...
>I see.

>Honestly...
>What's the main star doing by herself?
>Whatever... I should head over to her house myself.
>I put a lot of thought into her present, after all...

p17
>...Huh?
>They're not in the kitchen.

>...Does that mean they've finished cooking?

>The second floor, huh?

p18
>I need to erase my presence...
>so Lily doesn't notice me...

>Milady...

>It would be good if Iris is by herself, but...

p19
>...With this,
>Heath will be fine, even if I'm not around.

p20
>...Wha-

>What...
>are you saying, Lily...?

p21
>Why...
>would she say something like that...
>...Right, Iri?
>...I guess so.
>with such a happy tone in her voice...?

>What does she mean by "if I'm not around"?

>Is Lily
>going away...?
>...Ah...

p23
>No.
>...Kh...
>Ah...
>Why are you saying such things, Lily?

p24
>Hah

>...Now then, we should get going too...
>...? Iri? What's wrong?
>...It's nothing.

p29
>They're bunny ears~ What do you think?
>Cute!!
>>turned on...
