Chapter 66 (1/2)
“””――Happy Birthday!”””
Ba-ba-ba-bang!
“…Eh?”
A down like rain, I let out a stupefied cry
From the texture, it seemed to be not paper, but cloth
Coinciding with the bursting sounds, it hat flew out fro at me
“Ufufu, those are the crackers I made Surprised you, didn’t they?
I added Ususake Mushroom powder and scraps of multi-coloured cloth to the inside of the ba to pull on from a hole opened at the bottom”
Donna stepped out froroup and said
“Y-yeah… I was surprised
So so like crackers exist in this world too”
In my daze, I responded with a shi+ft in the topic
I looked away froh to ask “this world?” and surveyed the inside of the dining room
There was Alfred-tousan, Julia-kaasan, Chester-niisan, Eleuel, Beck, and Moria-san, even Hoffman-san and Grandpa Ganash were there too; each one of the a ‘cracker’ in their hand and wore pleased expressions for succeeding with their prank
Then, late as it was, I reratulatory words they had said when I entered the room
“I-I see…
Today’s my birthday!”
With that remark, everyone but me all stumbled
“I had wondered if you ot”
Miguel said in astonishment
“I wondered what to do when Miguel let things slip earlier, but it ell”
Said Moria-san
“Moria too, you sort of let it slip during the adventurer registration…
There are no age liht up, it gave me a chill”
Hoffman-san added
“So Julia-kaasan tellingnot to be too late was also…”
“That’s right To keep you away from the house in a casual manner was really hard”
“That said, the party wouldn’t have started even if you returned too late”
Julia-kaasan and Alfred-tousan replied
“So Melby acting suspiciously now and then was also because of this”
“Uu… But I couldn’t help it!
I’m unable to tell any lies!”
Melby said, pouting
“Wait a moment I’ll call everyone from the Fairy Hamlet over”
Saying that, Melby creates a gate, and goes inside to call the fairies
“――Anyway, happy birthday Edgar”
Alfred-tousan says to roup
“Mn… Thank you”
“With this, Edgar-kun is finally one year old”
Julia-kaasan says while s
“”””””Eh!?””””””
Several of the people in the room cried out in shock
I had told the forroup, but did they not believe me?
“Yes Today I, Edgar Chrebl, have turned one year old!
Everyone, I will continue to be in your care from noell”
Saying that, I give a quick bow of my head
“I did think he was absurd but… I never thought it was this absurd”
Elerumbled
“I always thought it was surely a joke…”
Donna muttered
“Geh! Seriously! I keep losing to a one-year-old baby!”
Miguel ranted in indignation
“Yeah, well, I did think Oro… no, Edgar could be like that too though…”
Beck nodded in resignation
Moria-san apparently heard fro this for the first tiaze on my face, while Grandpa Ganash stares intently at me with a “hmm…”
Then, the fairy twins Cecil and Cecila caate
“Congrats~!” “Congratulations!”
They shouted as they hugged me
Behind the and dance
“…Could this be the reason why Cecil and Cecila didn’t come to bother me when I went to the Fairy Hamlet earlier by any chance?”
“That’s right Congratulations, Edgar”
That was the reply Melby gavethe fairies with her
If I associated with the fairies who couldn’t lie, everything could have been exposed in an instant
Everyone caratulatory words in turn
Then, I somehow received presents from everyone
Alfred-tousan said,
“Because we’ll be heading to the royal capital after this,”
and presentedembroidered jacket
The sleeves row into it soon if it’s just this much
“How nice, Edgar
Even though I received hand-me-downs from Belhart-niisan back then”
Chester-niisan commented
“It’s because Belhart, Chester, and David are close in age
Edgar has such an age difference, so wouldn’t your old jackets be outdated now?”
“Well, I guess it can’t be helped
…And for that reason, this is from me
I’h”
What Chester-niisan gave me as he said that was a smallish bow
“It’s a s
Though I say that, it’s a good product itself, so you should be able to use it even in actual combat”
Since he said that, I try using [Appraisal] on it
《S weak spiritual wood as the core, coinners to draw, and tuned so that it is easy to stabilise one’s aim 》
No, this isn’t at the level of so used just for practice
This is just what I’ve sur to him lately, but if I had to say, Chester-niisan is a taciturn person and is very modest about his own capabilities
“Thank you I’ll use it well”
“…Mn”
Chester-niisan nodded happily
It was a gentle sered e
“Next is from Mum and me!
Here, take it!”
Saying that, Miguel handed me a small shi+eld
[Appraisal]
《Small Tortoise shi+eld: A shi+eld fashi+oned fro resilient against slashes and thrusts, it can also repel weak spells 》
“This is?”
“The other day, I defeated a beast called a Grand Tortoise together with Mum
Because I heard that the shells of that tortoise ood shi+elds, I had it made”
“Is it alright? Isn’t it a valuable material?”
“It’s fine I only use auntlets to hit with, and Mum has her dual swords
We don’t have any chance to use so like shi+elds”
“I see Thanks”
I try equipping the shi+eld onto my left arm
It seeave me even with it equipped
“T-this is from me!
It’s also froh”
Donna and Grandpa Ganash gave ist’s mortar and pharmaceutical codex
“Donna and I will be leaving here soon
Once you’ve learned everything in there, then you’d be able to call yourself my disciple”
“E-even though I’ve yet to reach that point…”
Donnadown
“Thank you, Donna, Grandpa Ganash”
Next to appear were the duo with the position of tank: Beck and Hoffman-san
“F-from me is this talisman”
Beck said, holding an approximately five-centi]
…This, could this possibly be me?
