Karin/Wakaba's birthday 2019 - 1

Power of laughter, overflowing with happiness - 1

[Sanshuu Middle - rooftop]

Meb: Haah, this isn't working, I'm not getting any ideas... But I can't give up.

Meb: Karin secretly helped with my birthday last month, so who's going to celebrate hers if not me?

Meb: But handmade udon and cakes are already the norm...

Meb: Haah, can't a fresh, impactful way of celebrating pop out of somewhere...

Fuu: Mebuki? What's going on? You keep mumbling things to yourself all the way out here.

Meb: Inubouzaki-san.

Fuu: If you've got worries, feel free to throw them right at me.

Meb: (Ah! Inubouzaki-san had her birthday celebrated last month and is the club president too.)

Meb: (I couldn't ask for a better person to consult.)

Meb: Inubouzaki-san, I actually do have something to consult you about. How to celebrate Karin's birthday in a grand way.

Fuu: Let's see, since it's also Wakaba's birthday this month, you need to think of something that'd make both of them happy.

Meb: Eh, Wakaba too?

Fuu: Wakaba and Karin. Pleasing both of them at once is a pretty high bar.

Meb: What did you do previously?

Fuu: Last time it was a party of appreciation for the fairies. And before that we gave them some training as a gift.

Meb: Training! So that was a possible choice. Let's go with that this year too. Time to start preparing...

Fuu: Stop! I'm sure the birthday girls themselves would be happy with that.

Meb: Then that's the best option, right?

Fuu: That might be ride. But for this occasion, it'd be better to do something that'd make both them and the people around smile, wouldn't it?

Meb: Ah, Sumi-chan. What is it?

Sum: You see, I got picked to be a photo model for a wedding hall, so I wanted to give Fuu-san the report.

Fuu: Yeah, yeah. If all's going well, there's no problem. Nice, isn't it? June Bride.

Sum: Thank you very much. I've got preparations to make, so I'll excuse myself.

Fuu: Wedding... Reception... A program... That's it! Mebuki! We could do this!

Meb: What's with you all of a sudden?

Fuu: The two of us can do manzai comedy, Mebuki! [1]

Meb: W-What's that? Impossible.

Fuu: Eh? It'd totally liven things up, and I can't think of a bigger surprise to make.

Meb: It would definitely be surprising, but me doing manzai...

Fuu: Come on, please! I'll be the talkative boke, so you can just be a tsukkomi.

Meb: Even if you tell me to be a tsukkomi, I don't know what to do or how to do it.

Fuu: You'll be fine. All you have to say is "And why's that!?" and "That's wrong!"

Fuu: I'll even write the whole script. Come one, pretty please! The Hero Club president's asking!

Meb: Grh... I can't exactly refuse when you bring up your title. Understood.

Fuu: Hurray! We're guaranteed to have the best birthday party ever now!

Meb: I hope so. But why did you suddenly decide to do manzai?

Fuu: Heh heh, you see...
