Chapter 598: Shes Your Subordinate, Quickly Do Something About Her (1/2)
Receiving Shiro-san’s gift, the only one left among the dangerous duo is Eden-san, which should be the last one. Before that time comes, I guess my heart can calm down a little bit.
No, seriously…… It’s easy to forget, but everyone only had one day…… no, half a day to prepare this. However, everyone had prepared solid gifts for me, and I’m very grateful to them.
Then, after Shiro-san, Chronois-san gave me a clock that could be placed on my desk.. I wonder if this is because she is the Goddess of Time? The clock has a calm and mature design, which I personally like very much, so I’ll gratefully use it.
After Chronois-san, the next person to go up on the stage was Illness-san…… Come to think of it, wasn’t it right around the time I received Shiro-san’s blessing? That was also the time Illness-san officially followed me as my exclusive maid……
Illness-san’s present to me was an elegant handkerchief embroidered with the images of Bell and Lynn. For something that was done in just half a day, this is quite the elaborate embroidery…… All I can say is that as expected of Illness-san.
After Illness-san, the next person I got to know was Sieg-san. This would be the period where we exchanged words for the first time.
[Kaito-san, happy birthday.]
[Thank you!]
[I know it sounds strange, but it’s really nice to be able to express congratulatory words like this. I guess it’s a good thing I have my voice back…… thank you for everything. To you, my beloved, I wish for you an overflowing amount of blessings…… I hope you will continue to be as healthy as you are now.]
As she said this, Sieg-san presented to me a white scarf that was very similar to the scarf she always wears.
Most of the clothes I wear were black, so I guess she thought of the color balance when she chose this scarf for me. I’m very happy.
“Now then, next up is Isis-san, please take the stage.”
[……Unnn.]
The next one is Isis-san…… I wonder what her present for me is? Isis-san is also a person whose financial resources were on a very different level, and I think she’d likely come up with something outrageous.
However, compared to others, I still feel like she has some common sense, so I’m not that worried about her.
[……Kaito…… Happy…… birthday.]
[Thank you!]
[……This is…… my present…… for Kaito.]
[Is this…… a crown of flowers?]
Isis-san presented me with a crown made of colorful flowers.
[……I made it…… just like Kaito taught me…… thinking…… about Kaito…… a lot.]
It’s true that I once made a white clover flower crown for Isis as a present. Asking me to teach her how to make it, we made some crowns of flowers together……
Although it was only a few months ago, perhaps because I have had lots of fun days in this world, seeing the crown of flowers makes me feel a bit nostalgic.
[Thank you. I will treasure it.]
[……Kaito…… for being born….. and meeting with me…… thank you…… I love you…… From now and forever…… I will always be in your care.]
[Yes. Me too.]
As was the case with Sieg-san…… I guess this is what you call heart-warming presents. The joy that seemed to seep deep into my heart made me realize again how lucky of a person I am.
After Isis-san’s present, it would normally have been Alice’s turn to give her present, but since she apparently had the privilege of changing the order, Rei-san and Fia-san had their turn first.
What Rei-san and Fia-san had prepared for me was a handmade amulet made from a leaf with an unusual shape, a tradition that was apparently handed down among the Elves.
