Winter
Amidst the fiercely blowing north wind, both Asch and Liana, enter the Lessenar Magic Academy’s school building.
“U゛ーu! Coldd, cold cold cold coldd!”
The cold-sensitive Dark Magician, as always, removes his shoes from the shoe rack,
Zaaー.
as always, he removes the massive amount of thumbtacks that appears, without learning from his mistakes.
“As usual, you’re hated huh, to a terrifying extent. That’s no good, you have to get along”
“Fuu……a world……where the victim is blamed”
“……even though you pretty much retaliate twice-fold”
Of course, the Holy Mother-beautiful young girl warns the special class’ students as well, but it’s genuinely a both-at-fault state. She sighs deeply, not knowing what she should do anymore.
“Ah, speaking of which. Regarding next week……”
“……I wonder what day is it? I have absolutely no idea, not in the slightest, not even in the corner of my head”
“Fufu……Asch, that means, you definitely know. It’s my birthdayーー”
“Oops! That’s right. It’s that event your father celebrates grandly and ridiculously every year huh. It’d still be understandable if it’s the moment you’re born, but it’s your turn to go at the incomprehensible event where you vaguely define the day as your ‘day of birth’ and celebrate huh!”
The Dark Magician who acts surprised pretentiously and terribly, deliberately.
“Cough, cough……so, I’m thinking of inviting Jill on that day as well”
“Hoo, it’s fine since you and she have been getting along recently, isn’t it?”
“Yayy”
“……and?”
“Nn?”
“Err……did you invite anybody besides Jill?”
Asch, starts getting strangely, fidgety.
“Eh? Just her alone though……”
“……”
“……”
・・・
“Eh? Eh? Eh? What’s with that silence? Was it bad for me to invite her?”
“……I mean, it’s your birthday, so it’s fine, isn’t it? I suppose you don’t need my permission in the first place after all”
“We-, well, yeah”
“However, you sure are a bizarre kid as well huh. Is being congratulated for something like a birthday something to be happy about? I’ve never once felt even a slither of happiness about it though”
The ill-natured Magician who suddenly becomes disgruntled.
“What’s with that……I’d like you to return the effort I spent celebrating for you up until now”
“Humph! That’s something you did on your whim, it totally wasn’t fun for me. Yeah, that’s it, I even think that it’d be great if the event known as the birthday went extinct!”
“……do you have a grudge with birthdays or something instead?”
“I don’t have a grudge or anything! Ahー, I’m glad. I’m glad I wasn’t invited to your birthday! While you’re celebrating that fabricated moment of birth, I have an important, super important business after all!”
“Eh……Asch, you can’t come!?”
“What does it matter whether I can come or not, I wasn’t even invited, so there’s no way I’ll go, right!?”
“What’s your business. You can’t come no matter what?”
“I don’t get the meaning of what you’re saying at all. How are you saying I’m supposed to go, when I’m not even invited?”
“How am I supposed to invite you, when you’re a member in the first place!?”
“……eh?”
“……nn?”
・・・
“Eh? Eh? Eh? Like I said, what’s with that silence!?”
“……err, what do you mean ‘a member in the first place’?”
“What are you on about. Every year, Otou-san, Asch, and I celebrate with the three of us, so it’s a given that you’re a part of it right from the start, right?”
“……it-, it-, it can’t be helped huh. I wished you’d remind me sooner if that’s how it is. I hadn’t even a slither of interest in something like your birthday, so I ended up scheduling a super important business!”
The moronic Magician, who seems happy, for some reason.
“Is-, is that so? If it’s such an important business, then there’s no need to forcーー”However! I am a loyal gentleman. You are my mentor’s daughter, and I also have, despite unwillingly, been taken care of by you. It’s a super important business, but I guess I shall do my best and move my schedule around here, uh-huh, I shall do just that”
“……”
The elder-sister beautiful young girl who blankly watched over the back of Asch, who’s walking briskly while speaking by himself and coming to grasp with something.
