"... Jillo... ...that's the limit..."
"Come on, Magda! Soon... soon!"
"Wow! You're pushing me so hard! You're calming down!"
"Yasilo, cheer up! It's almost there!"

　The kitchen at Yodamari-tei turned into a battlefield.

"Yes, yes, it looks so delicious, Mr. Yashiro! It smells sweet like a spirit is smiling!"
"Ah! I want to fulfill Jiro's request to keep the other dimension stomach-sister from running away. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .."
"...d*mn! Delia's power has increased!"
"Ma, Magdachy! Oh, my foot! My foot has sunk into the ground...Oops! The building is beginning to creak! It's making a loud aura, you two!?"

　I asked Sister Bertina, on behalf of the church, to inspect and inspect the work process...It was obvious that Bertina would run wild in the face of sweets.
　So I asked Delia to hold Bertina back, but that was a mistake.
　Even Delia had begun to run wild with the sweet smell of the cake and its crisp appearance.

　All I can rely on is Magda.
　But that's almost the limit... If things go on like this, they'll eat it up before the cake is finished!

"Yasilo! I brought you here!"
"Woomaro! I'm saved!"
"What, I called you here... ...what is this picture of Hell?"

　Norma drops the puffing pipe.

"I'm sorry, Norma! Hurry up and go into the kitchen... oh, help Magda!"
"... well, I can't help it."

　Pick up the dropped pipe and turn it around and insert it into the chest valley. ...isn't it hot?

"Woomaro! You hold them too!"
"Oh, no, no! I can't do it! I can't do it! I can't... I can't believe I'm touching a woman... oh my God... I'm embarrassed."
"Yes, you can't use it, Fox!"

　Umalo could barely speak to Magda, her sisters, and any other woman than Norma, a fellow Foxman.
　...that the Aliquis are not interested in Milly and are horrified by Magda, that Umaro is OK with this s*xy sister...I still don't understand their values.

"Hurry up! Is it not over yet?"
"Oh, yeah! Put some whipped cream in a bag and decorate it, and put strawberries on top of it..."
"Strawberries!? Strawberries on top of pure white whipped cream, like the spirit god's will, are the sweets to be given to the spirit god! I think I have the right to eat them first, Mr. Yashiro!"
"So! If you don't do that, you'll be the first to eat it, so you'll be quiet!?"

　Bertina's eyes are bloodshot.
　It's not the face of a saint, is it?

"Slurp! Oh, I like strawberries relatively!"
"Compared to that, be patient! I'll do it later!"
"I've just been promoted to love you!"
"Wait a minutely.

　Delia is turning into a beast.
　... d*mn, it was a mistake to put this in the kitchen.

"... Magda is in danger, too."
"Hey!? Wait, wait, wait, wait! You're on the final line of defense!? Hold on!"
"... well... I want to live up to Jiro's expectations..."
"What are these boys!? Where did they come from... ...doesn't bother him, by all means!"

　Without Norma, the line of defense would have collapsed by now.
　We must hurry!

"Yasilo! Cheer up!"
"Oh, my God! Let me make it as calm as a cake!"

　I decorated the whipped cream and decorated the strawberries beautifully!

`````Ooh!''

　There were cheers from various places.
　I saw a myriad of people crowding the kitchen.
　Loretta's brothers and sisters, Wendy in Theron, the Yaplocks, Assunt in Becko.
　Several people have been invited from the Fortyth Ward.

"Mr. Yashiro! I can't believe you can't put the vax in... Get in... Get out of here! You can't see it says.

　So, of course, Imelda is here.

"Yasilow! Can you hear me?"

　It's Estella's voice.
　Beyond the crowd crowded into the kitchen, the dining room is shouting loudly.

"Oh! How about you!"
"I'm ready!"There you go. It seems that we're ready.

"Yasilo! Cake! Cake to me! I'm the auditor, you know, me!"
"No, you go first! You can listen to Jiro's request, Mabudachi's most reliable, you go first!"
"... Magda, too, can't stand it..."
`Then I want to eat it, too!'
"Hey!? Don't push it! Dangerous... Dangerous!"

　The wild beasts lose their reason and push Norma out of the way into the cake.
　If things go on like this, the cake will be ruined.........!?


"There's no cake for those who can't be nice!"


　All of them stopped at once.
　The people I warned them over and over again stopped moving with a loud voice from Jeanette.
　His bright red eyes were as clear as the clear sky. ...no, I'm scared.

"...when Jeanette gets angry, it's when she's serious." You may not really give me a cake."
"I don't think the manager is serious enough to show it sometimes."
"...somehow different from sweet palm-roes."
"Well, manager, I'm the type of person who doesn't say it's fashionable."

　These guys... can you lick me and listen to Jeanette?
　I'll really make you cry next time. …individually.

"Now, Mr. Jiro," Let's cut the cake apart."
"Oh, yes,"

　The kitchen has become quiet and easy to separate.
　Well... should I have done this from the beginning?
　No, I guess they realized Jeanette's real intentions only after the rampage. I have a guilty conscience. d*mn it!

　a cutting sample I call on Bertina before…

"First of all, Mr. Bertina," Did any of these processes run counter to the church's 'cake' rules?"

　If you say, "There has been a violation" here, naturally this cake won't go down anyone's lips. It's for the dash box.

"No problem," From now on, we will permit the sale of this 'cake' in the name of the church."

　Well, it's a natural result.
　Otherwise, Bertina can't eat cake. I was bound to say yes, from the start.

"Well,"

　I slowly drew my blade close to the freshly made cake to put the knife into it. . . . .

"Oh, yes, Jeanette."
"What?"

　So I stopped moving and I called out to Jeanette.
　Jeanette turns over and slightly bends her head.

　Before saying anything to Jeanette, she quickly glances at Magda, Loretta, Bertina, Delia, and Umaro.
　Bertina's man, you know, will you forget your plan to eat cake?"

　Loretta and Delia quickly get out of the kitchen, and the crowd they were packing moves towards the dining room.

　all right, all right.

"I beg your pardon, but will you asked.
"Mr. Estella?"
"Oh, I have something to ask of you."
"Yes, I see. I'll take you with me in a moment's notice."

　With that in mind, Jeanette walks out into the dining room without a doubt.


　without knowing what would happen to me after this.


　As soon as Jeanette turned her back, I decorated the cake with 16 thin candles that I had quickly made and a plate made of pre-prepared candies.
　People other than Jeanette in the kitchen grin.
　The only thing I don't know is Jeanette.

　It was quite dark outside the window.
　I went to Percy's house this morning, got eggs from Neferry's house, got Bertina's inspection at Yomari-tei, and just passed... Yomari-tei got permission to handle cakes.

　I'm glad I made it in time.

"Mr. Estella," Mr. Jiro... What!?"

　Jeanette screamed as she walked out of the kitchen and into the dining room.
　It's because the lights in the dining room suddenly out.
　The kitchen lights go out at the same time.

　Estella turned off the lights in the dining room and Magda turned off the lights in the kitchen. as arranged

"What!? What? What's wrong with you!? Are you all safe?"

　The dining room was shrouded in darkness, and Jeanette's first voice came out of her mouth as a voice of concern.
　It's really like Jeanette.

"Ginnette," this way."
"What? Estella? Um, this is...?"
"Don't worry. See?"

　I hear a voice like that.

　Guided by Estella, Jeanette headed for the dining room.
　Finally, I light a candle stuck in the cake.

　A faint light illuminates the kitchen.

　With this flickering light, we all moved to the dining room.a pitch‐dark dining room
　There are countless signs of people there.
　You can't see the face, but you can see a lot of people there.

"Genet".

　When I leave the kitchen and enter the dining room, I call Jeanette by name.

"Yes. . . . . . What?"

　Looking back, Jeanette opened her eyes wide at the flickering flames on the cake.

　I walk slowly to the front of Jeanette, staring at her.
　Estella did a great job leading Jeanette to the front of the table.
　Putting the cake on the table, I said to Jeanette:


"Happy birthday, Jeanette."


　Today is Jeanette's birthday.

"...what?"

　I've never had a custom of celebrating a birthday, so it's hard to believe... but what has happened over the last few days has been like telling me to celebrate Jeanette's birthday with great success.
　the unannounced birthday of Jeanette
　In this city, where there was no custom of sending flowers, we created an atmosphere where people could send flowers more easily.
　Knowing Jeanette's favorite flower, it happened to bloom and I could see it with my own eyes.
　I heard that there was sugar, and somehow I was able to get it safely.
　I've just got a cake license to sell it.

　They have appeared before me in succession in the last few days.
　Well, God is a very nasty fellow.
　He must have laughed at me running around desperately.
　Oh, you're satisfied, now.


　But I made it in time.


　I was really close to it.
　I was even half resigned.
　But things moved.
　as if to say to me, "Do your best."
　If you're desperate, you'll be on a tight schedule.


　I'd like to celebrate Jeanette's birthday. Please cooperate.

　I went to visit an acquaintance all day yesterday and asked for his cooperation in this project.
　I persuaded people in this city who didn't have the custom of celebrating their birthdays to talk about how important and meaningful it was.

　Then, I was informed again of Jeanette's popularity.
　Those who initially said they didn't understand the meaning of it agreed to cooperate, saying, "For Jeanette's sake."
　I couldn't have done this much without Jeanette.

　Anyway, there are so many people gathered in the Yangtari-tei.

　The people I have met so far at the Yangtari Pavilion.
　the rest of the world
　Many people have been summoned from the forty wards.

　It's no less a big party than a stand‐up party held at home by the lords.

　Sixteen small flames swaying over the party's festive birthday cake.
　The sugar plate in the middle of the cake bears the following words.

"Genet, happy birthday!"

　Everything was prepared for a girl who had been defending this Yodamari-tei.
　This time, this space, this people.
　We've just gathered here for the sake of Jeanette, nobody.

"...oh, well...."
"Jinnette, blow out that candle in one breath."
"What? ... but,"
"That's how we celebrate in my country. Give them a round of applause when the fire goes out!"
"'Oh!'"

　A lot of people there watch with breathless interest.
　be enveloped in a tense atmosphere

　Jeanette, looking bewildered and hesitant, soon breathed in heavily.
　And...

"Whoa... whoa!"

　In one breath the flames were blown out and a big round of applause erupted.
　Then, the light is lit in the sunlit house.

　Inside the store, which has become bright again...

"Wow..."

　Under the leadership of Estella, it was handcrafted but decorated with warmth.
　My brothers and sisters, church kids, Mormat and Yaplocks also helped me.
　All the people who cared about Jeanette cooperated generously.

"Oh, you know...."

　The only person who doesn't understand the situation is Jeanette.
　He was restless, looking to the right and to the left, touching his cheeks and hair.

"Ginnette," This is a sign of my daily gratitude."

　Estella says so and presents a flower.

"Mr. Estella..."

　Jeanette gently receives flowers.
　Immediately, countless flowers came out from all over the place surrounding Genet.

"... Congratulations, manager."
"Thank you always, manager!"
"Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!"
"Jinnette, my flower is a tomato flower made from us!"

　an inconsistent flower that expresses each person's
　But every one of them offered flowers... with a big smile on his face.

"Only......ladies and gentlemen...."

　They receive their flowers one by one, and the bouquet grows bigger and bigger in Jeanette's arms.

"Mr. Jinetto......Congratulations."

　Milly presents Jeanette with a big sunflower.
　They say it's the image of Yodamari-tei.

"Millie..."

　Jeanette's voice is trembling with tears.
　I found Jeanette's bouquet too big to hold.

"Oh, um... ladies and gentlemen... ...well, I don't think you understand yet... ...I......... ...I'm glad."

　Jeanette, who managed to finish without shedding any tears.
　His big eyes were so loud that they were about to collapse... they were shaking with great happiness.

"Genet".
"... Mr. Jiro,"

　When I spoke to him, the crowd quickly cleared up space.Well, the planner's words are essential for the party.
　Listen quietly there, spectators.

"You surprised me,"
"...yes. I was surprised."

　a hee‐hee‐heee Jeanette
　Face it and look at your face for a while.
　His face, dyed red and smiling with moist eyes, seems to be very Jeanette.
　I honestly thought he was a good face.

"In my country, we all celebrate the day when our family and friends were born. No, it doesn't have to be big. Give a little congratulations."
"...that's a wonderful...that's a very wonderful custom..."
"That's why this cake is indispensable."
"No way... And Mr. Yashiro... has been busy for the last few days?"

　They don't answer at all, they just smile and answer.
　I'm not going to be boasting of my troubles.

"It tastes just right and happy on such a happy occasion,"
"Really? I'm looking forward to it."
"Isn't it Estella?"
"Yes, yes,"

　At my signal, Estella puts a knife in the cake. A strawberry shortcake cut into eight parts is placed on a plate and handed to Jeanette.
　Magda and Loretta take the bouquet in their hands and carry it aside.

"Today's hero is Jeanette. I'll give you the right to eat first."
"But!"

　Jeanette looks at Bertina and Delia, who were just raging in the kitchen.
　But once they have recovered their composure, they smile and give way to Jeanette. ...I'm glad they're adults.

"Oh, is it all right, like I am..."
"It's your cake."
"My..."
"My name is written on it,"

　Estella put a plate of candies on top of me. Don't be so smart.

"...really,"

　His eyes begin to moisten, and he holds his fork in his trembling hand.
　Then slowly cut the cake into bite-size pieces.

"... soft,"

　You can feel the fluffy feel just by looking at it.

「…………」

　Then gently...carry the cake on the fork into your mouth.

"Oh.........."

　With his breath, Jeanette's face turns pale pink and a happy smile spreads out.

"...that's sweet,"

　Hold your mouth in order not to let go of the excitement that spreads through your mouth, and immerse yourself in the afterglow as if you were enjoying it all over your body.

"Really... I tasted happy."
"Right?"

　Put a bite of cake on the table and Jeanette turns to me.
　bow one's head deeply with one's

"Thank you very much, sir.

　Keep your head down and don't keep your head up.
　I may be overflowing with gratitude.
　But... it's not over yet, is it?

"This is a present from me."

　I'm glad he was in time.
　Jeanette's favorite flower, with beautiful large petals in bright orange, is tied to Jeanette's hair, imitating Soleil.

"What!"

　Jeanette looks up at once and touches the hairpin with both hands.
　Estella comes in front of Jeanette with a mirror.
　Hold the mirror just where you can see your face and point it at the ginet.

　Looking into the mirror pointed at him, Jeanette gazes at the hair tie.

"…………Soleil…………………………"

　So Jeanette's lacrimal glands finally collapsed.
　Large drops of tears trickle down my cheeks.

"... my favorite... flower...."
"I didn't have the real thing ready,"
"Oh! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

　Wipe the dripping tears with both hands, and wipe the tears over and over again, Jeanette says clearly.


"This hair ornament... is my lifelong treasure."


　There was an exclamation of joy.
　The strategy was a great success. What a fool!
　Everyone here was delighted.
　Everyone was celebrating.
　Everyone was united in their hearts were united.

　I'm sure the birthday custom will take root in this city.
　As long as everyone doesn't forget this impression.

　And...
　Everyone in this city will be celebrating someone's birthday.

　And... and...


　We made a lot of money eating cake at Yodamari-tei!
　Event is the best!
　Special day is the best!
　My purse strings are loose, too!
　Netsuke's birthday!
　And sell it, shortcake!

　Nuha! Nuha!

"Mr. Jiro,"

　Jeanette, who doesn't know what's inside of me, looks at me with pure eyes.
　And......and yes.Yes, yes, yes!?

"Mr. Jiro!"

　Jeanette jumped at me.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Put your arms around your neck.

".........thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

　Her voice trembled with tears, and she was a little husky... ...but she looked very happy and warm.


　Hmm...hmm...hmm...this is just as calculated, too.
　Hmmm, it's all in my interest... ...well, I don't even know you're being used! Oh, yeah! Good-natured Jeanette can be used a lot to attract people in the city, and I'm going to rush there and get involved in this plan... ...oh, thanks to you, cakes are going to sell like crazy, blow up sales, crush!

　Oh, it's just as calculated!
　Did you see my resourcefulness?

"...Mr. Jillo.........wow!"
"Don't cry! What? Cake! Eat the cake and stop crying!"

　Oh, this too, of course, is... just as calculated... isn't it?

"Yes, Mr. Yashiro! Give me a cake as an auditor!"
`Absolutely!'
"Oh, me and I! You did a great job behind the scenes this time!"
"...Magda is right."
`I want one, too!'
"But... Take a good look at it. This is not enough, no matter how you look at it."
"Mr. Jiro,"
"Yasilo".
"Yasilo".
"... Jillo,"
"Brother!"
"'Make it!'"
"Look at the situation, boys!"


　Oh, that's right.
　It's calculated to this extent!
　Oh, come on! All right! I'll make as many holes as I want!
　What a great service!

　Anyway, I--



　I feel special today.
