Stories

Rinne

Rinne: Su~p! Happy birthday, Merumeru!

HiMERU: …...HiMERU is surprised. Amagi actually came to celebrate HiMERU’s birthday.

Rinne: My wallet’s a bit empty y’see? So I thought if I came here I’d be able to get somethin’ to eat.

Kyahaha ☆ I struck gold. Everythin’ from the appetizers to the desserts looks delicious! Let’s ea~t!

HiMERU: Good grief. Of course that was your intention. It has all become clear to HiMERU now.

In any case, the food here is for people attending the party. Do as you like.

Kohaku

Kohaku: Happy birthday, HiMERU-han ♪

HiMERU: Thank you, Oukawa.

Kohaku: Um~. How should I respond if ya say “thank you”?

I just went silent after the “thank you” when we were celebratin’ fer Rinne-han as well.

HiMERU: —HiMERU thinks there is no set phrase you have to say. Is it not better to enjoy the atmosphere?

Kohaku: Kokoko ♪ That’s some real vague advice. But I reckon I may as well give it a go. Anythin’s an experience, as they say.

Niki

Niki: Hell~o ☆ Happy birthday, HiMERU-kun ☆

HiMERU: Shiina. You have finally shown your face.

HiMERU thought it was strange that you were the only one HiMERU had not seen.

Niki: I was wholeheartedly working in the kitchen~. Did you enjoy my cooking?

HiMERU: —Yes, HiMERU is satisfied. What do you say to taking a break and joining the party too, Shiina?

Niki: Yep. I made a lot, so I’m gonna eat a lot too~ ☆

Ibara

Ibara: Happy birthday, HiMERU-shi.

HiMERU: —Oya. You came to celebrate HiMERU’s birthday?

Ibara: Indeed. It’s the birthday of an idol in the company! It wouldn’t do for Cospro’s vice-president to not show up now, would it?

HiMERU: HiMERU sees. HiMERU heard from Anzu that you also helped with the party preparations.

Thank you for doing this for ‘HiMERU’.

Ibara: There’s no need for any of that, it’s nothing major! I hope we will be able to talk more in future, HiMERU-shi ♪

Hinata

Hinata: Happy birthda~y! Here’s a delivery for HiMERU-san~ ♪

HiMERU: Oya, and you are……’Aoi Hinata’, correct?

Hinata: That’s right ♪ Here you go- it’s a present from us!

HiMERU: …...These are a pair of binoculars?

Hinata: Yep! HiMERU-san’s good at being a detective, right? Yuta-kun chose them for when you’re tailing someone and stuff like that!

HiMERU: It is not exactly what you would call being a detective, but these will most likely be of use at some point. Thank you very much.

Mini Talks

1

HiMERU: —Sorry to have kept you waiting, Anzu-san.

Thank you for holding a birthday party for HiMERU.

Surely ‘HiMERU’ is delighted…… ♪

“Surely”?

HiMERU: Oops, please excuse that. As HiMERU mentioned previously, HiMERU thinks of himself as another person—

Well, we should stop that there. It is not relevant right now.

Now then, who will come? Fufu, HiMERU is looking forward to it.
_____________________________________________

HiMERU: Ah, that was rude of HiMERU. HiMERU should have said “definitely”.

In any case, thank you for doing all of this for HiMERU.

HiMERU will thoroughly enjoy it so that your efforts do not go to waste.

Enjoy.

HiMERU: Indeed. “Be careful that you do not go over the top”—

Everything ought to be done in moderation.

So let us enjoy the party in moderation.
_____________________________________________

HiMERU: Yes, that is the idea.

There are people who came to celebrate HiMERU’s birthday.

It is something to be happy about, as far as ‘I’ am concerned.

HiMERU: —Oya, Anzu-san. What is the matter?

It seems to be a rather troubling situation. HiMERU would like to lend a hand if possible.

Whether or not HiMERU will make an effort depends on what is happening. First, please let HiMERU hear your reason.

‘Crazy:B’s……

HiMERU: You are troubled because Amagi has put habaneros into the cupcakes and started a Russian roulette…… huh.

Good grief. HiMERU was hoping he would act like an adult for HiMERU’s birthday at least.

Where is Amagi? HiMERU will take it up with him.
_____________________________________________

HiMERU: Oukawa has suddenly disappeared? Hm, perhaps he had some matters to attend to.

…...and speak of the devil. It would seem he has returned with his hands full of desserts.

It is possible he was asked to help transport the desserts. Fufu, it would appear he saved you a lot of work.

The food……

HiMERU: There will be leftovers, you say?

HiMERU understands. It seems Shiina became excited and made too much.

It will be alright. Shiina will most likely eat it himself. Let him take care of it.
_____________________________________________

HiMERU: HiMERU sees……. There is not enough food.

Then let us call Shiina. He will most likely be able to resolve Anzu-san’s worries.

Shiina appears to be…… over there. Well then, we shall go and pay him a visit.

HiMERU: Thank you for holding a party for HiMERU today, Anzu-san.

Of course, HiMERU knows you are doing this not only for HiMERU, but for all of the idols.

But even then, HiMERU needs to express his gratitude to you.

Don’t mention it.

HiMERU: Today was a special day for HiMERU—

HiMERU is happy you were able to celebrate it together with him.

If it is alright with you…… HiMERU would like for you to celebrate his birthday again next year.
_____________________________________________

HiMERU: —This sort of party with only friends and family is good.

Having friends celebrate HiMERU’s birthday……

It will be a good memory. HiMERU had fun.

I’m relieved to hear that.

HiMERU: Fufu. You say you are used to it, but it must still be pretty difficult every time.

If you become so busy you would even ask a cat for help, please do not hesitate to call HiMERU.

As thanks for today, HiMERU will help you.
_____________________________________________

HiMERU: —You were worried about whether or not HiMERU would enjoy it?

—It was fun, honestly. From start to finish.

The good experiences are piling up. HiMERU really would like to thank you.
