Chapter 598: 598

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 .

And after the two of them was Anima . Speaking of which, when I first met her, I was surprised by her strong personality…… Now, she has become an indispensable part of my family .

Anima gave me a fountain pen with a calming design as a present . It was a present that was just like Anima, as she has been taking care of all the letters that come my way lately, and it looked very easy to use .

Next in line was Lillywood-san . Although she is also one of the Six Kings, she is an extremely sensible person, so I’m not worried about her at all .

Her present for me was a wooden accessory case, small but elaborate, and feels good to touch . It’s about the size of a pencil case, so it might be a good place to put the paper knife that Lilia-san gave me or the fountain pen that Anima gave me .

After that, I received one present after another . Eta and Theta gave me a pair of shoes and gloves, Sigma-san and Bacchus-san gave me something that looked like dumbbells .

[Happy birthday to you . I wish that you would also feel the happiness that I currently feel . ]

[T- Thank you…… Pandora-san . ]

Oh, that’s right, the next one is Pandora-san, who I met as the fake Phantasmal King…… Unnn, come to think of it, she could also be considered as a dangerous person, just in a different way than Shiro-san and Eden-san .

What in the world could such a person give me as a present……

[……My apologies . I didn’t have much time, so I opted to bring a safe present instead……]

[……Ummm, errr, what’s this?]

[Straw ropes and candles . These are consumable items, so I thought it would be better to bring as many as possible . ]

[……T- Thank…… you……]

I’ve never in my life used these two things at the level where I could call them consumables, you know!? I mean, this big, red candle…… No matter I think about it, these are S&M goods……

S- Seriously, this person isn’t shaken at all…… She’s so scary .

[Incidentally, it doesn’t matter when, you can always invite me! I will teach you how to tie a person, and you can practice with this body of mine to your heart’s content……]

“Pandora, House . ”

[……Shalltear-sama? T- That’s right . My apologies . I can’t spend too much time on this today . Let’s talk about this later……]

“No, you don’t have to come explain it to him again…… Just go back and sit in the corner . ”

[T- That means, we’re going for neglect pl……]

“You’re wrong . ”

Dear Mom, Dad————— How should I say this…… In a way, Pandora-san was just as usual . That ecstatic expression of hers was just too scary . Alice—————- She’s your subordinate, quickly do something about her .

Serious-senpai : [……I’m curious why she said straw ropes but, what’s with that crown of flowers regarding Isis? Was there a chapter like that?]

? ? ? : [It’s a newly-written content for the second volume of the light novel . If you’re interested, go check it out…… It’s also the volume where Alice-chan makes her appearance!!!]

Serious-senpai : [Stop with the stealth marketing……]

(T/N: Pandora said 荒縄/Aranawa, which means straw rope . S&M ropes are called 麻縄/Asanawa, and they’re made from hemp . Mom’s looking at me weird again . Halp)

(T/N: Isis with the crown of flowers was also used as a cover image for Volume 2 . )
