Simply in case.
I instructed Miyagi yesterday to remain house.
Once I open the entrance door, there was Miyagi’s sneakers.
She appears to be correctly at house, not going out wherever, even now within the night.
I take off my sneakers and head to the frequent area.
I questioned what would occur if I went to choose up the cake I had reserved and got here again to seek out that she wasn’t house, however that didn’t occur. With out in the present day’s star of the present, the birthday cake wouldn’t come to life.
I put a small entire cake within the fridge and knock on Miyagi’s door.
Faucet, faucet.
Two small faucets on the door and Miyagi emerges from the room.
「I’m house.」
「Welcome house.」
「I purchased you a cake.」
「…You didn’t should.」
Miyagi says in a flat voice.
「I promised, didn’t I? On Miyagi’s birthday, we each stated we might eat the entire spherical cake collectively.」
Some guarantees I made on my birthday.
One in every of them is that on Miyagi’s birthday, we might eat collectively a complete cake, sufficient for each of us, with out leaving any leftovers.
As we speak and any more, that promise will probably be stored.
Miyagi didn’t let me swear on her earring, however there is no such thing as a manner I’ll break this promise.
As a result of I wish to achieve her belief.
For greater than these causes, this promise is a heavy one, and I’m unfit of it if I don’t preserve this promise. I strongly imagine that it’s a promise that can not be damaged as a result of it’s a promise that the earring didn’t make me swear to.
「I didn’t assume you’d truly purchase it.」
I heard a voice that was fairly small in comparison with the magnitude of my ideas, and once I involuntarily stared at her, she regarded away.
Her voice was slightly low, however she didn’t appear to be in a nasty temper.
If something, it was virtually expressionless.
She appears as if she has left her feelings someplace.
I’m wondering what birthdays are like for Miyagi.
Maybe it’s a day she doesn’t wish to be celebrated.
Such ideas flashed by means of my thoughts.
「I gained’t break my promise to you, Miyagi. I don’t have a part-time job in the present day, and my associates gained’t name me all of the sudden.」
I shake Miyagi’s hand as if to disclaim the ideas that pop into my head.
That day, Miyagi appeared to haven’t any religion in in the present day.
So I made a decision that I’d by no means break my promise.
The part-time job that Miyagi was anxious about was initially a no-show day. I don’t intend to exit, even when a pal all of the sudden calls me. To start with, my cellphone is on silent mode, so it gained’t make any sound.
「What’s that?」
Miyagi’s hand tries to get away from me, and I put numerous stress on the hand that grabs her.
「You had been anxious about what would occur if my part-time job didn’t get achieved or if I used to be all of the sudden referred to as away by a pal.」
「I’m not anxious, I’m not saying what to do.」
「Then you need to be completely satisfied concerning the cake. It’s your birthday.」
Maybe Miyagi is simply scared.
She is caught within the days when she spent her birthday alone and hasn’t been capable of escape from it. She is afraid at this stage of her life that the spherical cake will probably be left within the fridge, that she will probably be left alone.
I’m slightly nervous as a result of I’ve by no means seen anybody so unappreciative of a birthday cake, however I encourage myself that I’m not incorrect on this considering.
「It’s nonetheless a birthday with out cake.」
「Let’s change it. There ought to be a cake for Miyagi’s birthday, and it’s best to appear like you’re having enjoyable.」
「…Even Sendai-san didn’t appear to be having a superb time in your birthday.」
Miyagi stares at me and I keep in mind August 23.
That day wasn’t enjoyable as a result of Miyagi had gone out to satisfy a pal. However that was till I used to be thrown into Miyagi’s room, and my heavy coronary heart lightened once I discovered that she was celebrating my birthday.
「That’s not true.」
I strongly denied Miyagi’s phrases.
「It’s… You didn’t look completely satisfied.」
「I used to be simply stunned as a result of I didn’t count on Miyagi to do something for my birthday.」
It was the happiest and most joyous of my nineteen birthdays.
If it didn’t appear that manner, I feel it was simply filled with shock somewhat than pleasure as a result of Miyagi did all of the issues I believed had been inconceivable.
Nevertheless it’s not about me proper now.
Miyagi’s emotions are extra essential.
「You have got a birthday, Miyagi, don’t you wish to have a good time it?」
「…I don’t know. Nobody ever purchased me a cake like this and stated to eat the entire spherical cake.」
A voice that sounds not sure of itself comes again to me.
「You probably did get presents from associates, didn’t you? Didn’t you will have a birthday celebration or one thing?」
「I’ve gotten presents from them… however I don’t like birthday events.」
「Why?」
「After it’s over, I’m type of sick of it.」
「What’s that?」
Why she didn’t prefer it.
I’m certain that’s the identical purpose she doesn’t like entire cake——
「Sendai-san, you stated you wished me that will help you with one thing in the present day. What would you like me that will help you with? I’ll do it, simply inform me.」
Not desirous to utter the reply to my query, Miyagi says shortly, interrupting my ideas.
「Oh, I used to be going to ask on your assist in cooking.」
I inform her concerning the “assist” I requested for earlier than I left.
I don’t wish to dredge up unhealthy recollections of Miyagi related to birthdays.
What I wish to do in the present day is to not discuss one thing uninteresting, so I pull Miyagi’s hand and head for the kitchen.
「Is cooking one thing you’re about to eat?」
「Sure. It’s not a celebration, however I’ll make one thing like that.」
「Isn’t it bizarre that it’s my birthday and I’m making it with you?」
「Even when it’s bizarre, it will likely be memorable. Additionally, it’s extra enjoyable to make one thing collectively.」
「I feel the one one having enjoyable is Sendai-san.」
Regardless of sounding like a ache within the ass, Miyagi appears to mean to assist and follows me round with an open thoughts.
I wish to repaint the reminiscence of Miyagi’s birthday with recollections of me.
I wish to make her imagine that my presence is a matter in fact, and that subsequent yr, and for years to return, we may have a birthday that we’ll spend collectively.
「…What are you making?」
「Karaage.」
「You want karaage, isn’t it, Sendai-san?」
「It’s a traditional, and it’s scrumptious. After which there’s making bite-sized pizzas out of dumpling skins——」
I don’t intend to make elaborate dishes, however I wish to make one thing scrumptious.
An entire cake and slightly treats.
It doesn’t should be tough.
If in the present day stays in Miyagi’s reminiscence, that’s all that issues.
I opened the fridge to arrange the meals we had been going to eat.
