Chapter 32 - I Wonder What Day it is? (1/2)

I Wonder What Day it is?

“I wonder what day it is today?”, Hiiragi-chan asked in a really good mood.

It was Sunday afternoon.

After being summoned in the morning by Hiiragi-chan to her place, I was given lunch and was now lazily watching television. Sitting next to me on the sofa, she was looking excitedly at my face.

“What day…? What do you mean? Cavity prevention day, maybe?”

“That’s June 4th, so it’s not right!” [1]

Even after retorting once, her tension was still high.

What…? Today? What day?

“A hint?”

“Hint? Hmmm, if I say this then you’ll basically have the answer… I wonder…”

“Day of panties?”

“That’s August 2nd!” [2]

How does she know so much!

“Think of something simple. Super simple…”

“Mou, you know, right?”, Hiiragi-chan said, as she poked my cheek a bit with her finger.

“Just because of today, Haruka-san, last night, made preparations.”

“Eh….!? Made preparations yesterday… Ah, aaaah!”

“Right! You do know!?”

“Haruka-san’s birthday!”

“Wrooooooooooooooooong!”

It was a voice loud enough to make me jump.

“Eh. Wait… Seiji-kun. Do you really…? Do you really not know…?”

Her high tensioned mood immediately changed as she gave me a suspicious look.

“I got it. I got it. Okay. I’ll answer now. I’ll answer so just give me a little bit more time.”

Like a character in a foreign movie, I ended up raising my hands to make Hiiragi-chan wait. Even if she says that, what day is it really? It’s not my birthday or my birthday… Hiiragi-chan raised one of her fingers.

“If you get it wrong one more time…”

“If that happens…?”

“I’ll leave you a kiss mark on neck ♡.”

“Stooooooooooop! There’s school tomorrow isn’t there!”

“It’s alright, you just have to get it right ♪.”

I really have no idea… Rather, it seemed like Hiiragi-chan was completely onboard with wanting to give me a kiss mark. Preparing since yesterday? Standing up, I walk towards the kitchen. When I came to visit her in her house today, I didn’t feel anything different. If that’s the case, then it’s in the kitchen. A place where I wouldn’t normally enter. When I took a sidelong glance at Hiiragi-chan, she was whistling while making no sound.

She’s so easy to read. There is some sort of hint here.

“I wonder where it is?”

I say as I continue to examine Hiiragi-chan’s expression.

“…”

Yeah. There’s a reaction. It’s in the refrigerator. When I opened the door, there was a whole cake sitting on top of a large plate. There were various colored fruits placed on top of it and it looked really good.

“Cake…?”

What she prepared was this cake…? It really doesn’t feel like it was store bought as it had a homemade feeling to it. Even though it’s not either of our birthdays, there’s a cake?

“That means, it’s some sort of celebration?”

As I was scratching my head, Hiiragi-chan hugged me from behind.

“That’s right~”

Chuu, she kissed me on the cheek.

“Yesterday I did my best to make it. Do you think it turned out well?”

While whispering softly into my ear, she pulled out the dish the cake was on and carried it to the table.

“If there was something written in chocolate on the cake, then I would know what day it was…”

“Why, why don’t you know?”

With her eyes slightly vacant, Hiiragi-chan brought over a knife.
