Itsuki/Utano birthday 2018 - 1

Heartfelt recipe - 1

[Jukai]

Meb: Haaah!

Meb: Phew, this should be the end.

Meb: No, there's a second wave approaching! Inubouzaki-san, be careful!

Fuu: Something Itsuki would want... Something Itsuki would want...

Meb: Can't she hear me!? ...Wakaba, we need to cover Inubouzaki-san!

Wak: Udon is soba... Soba udon... No, Utano udon? Or maybe udon Utano...

Meb: What are you talking about!? The enemy's on the way!

Wak: Ah! Curses! M-My bad, I'll take care of them immediately!

Wak: Haaah!

Meb: Inubouzaki-san, are you alright!?

Fuu: Itsuki's, because of Itsuki, for Itsuki's sake... *mumble mumble*

Wak: Guh... This is what we were afraid of. Fuu-san is unlikely to be of use in battles anymore!

Meb: What happened!? Did a Vertex unleash some mental attack!?.

Wak: No, that's not it. However, you could say that it's something even worse than that...

Meb: I don't understand. Explain what's going on.

Wak: It's December already... In other words, Itsuki's birthday is almost upon us.

Meb: ...Huh?

Wak: Last year, Fuu-san couldn't do much for the birthday of Itsuki, who she dotes on so much.

Wak: I'm sure that she's been secretly frustrated about that for the entire year... Look, you can see bags under her eyes.

Fuu: Hehehe... One Itsuki, two Itsukis...

Wak: She must've gone the past few days without a wink of sleep, thinking about it... So now she's at her limits!

Meb: I... see.

Wak: Similarly, I'm beginning to worry about what to present Utano for her birthday.

Wak: Would giving her soba despite being of the udon faction be a betrayal of udon?

Wak: But giving Utano, of the soba faction, udon as a present would be unlikely to make her happy...

Wak: Guh... O Shinju, what am I to do!?

Meb: Even if you ask Shinju-sama...

Uta: Wakaba, I'm here to help!

Wak: Utano!?

Uta: Hm? Wakaba, is something wrong? What, is moi presence unneeded here?

Wak: No, the exact opposite! What am I supposed to do without you, Utano!? Isn't that weird!?

Uta: Uh, you seem a little angry.

Meb: Wakaba's behaviour is getting strange too... It'd be best to take of this as soon as possible.
