Chapter 265: Celebration at school

By the looks of it, you had a good time yesterday.

It was the day after Amanes birthday, and he got teased by Itsuki at school.

It appeared Mahiru had some matter to deal with at the staff room, so Amane entered the classroom alone, only to be welcomed by a smirking Itsuki. Incidentally, Chitose hadnt arrived at school yet.

Dont make it sound like theres something else to that. Its just a normal celebration.

Again with that?

Seriously, you.

Just joking. Well, glad to hear that Shiina-sans preparations went well.

Itsuki patted Amane on the shoulder to calm him down, and nodded as though he had seen through everything. Amane couldnt reproach him for anything, so he grumbled a little, and sighed.

Thanks for helping out Mahiru.

Well, I didnt do anything at all. If anything, Chii and Kido-san were the ones who chipped in more, like advice or help and such.

And you helped cover up for them. Thanks for that.

Well, its a rare chance for a surprise anyway. Looks like you really enjoyed your birthday, and thats great. Anyway, happy birthday.

Itsuki, the most caring person, smiled and patted him on the shoulder again as if it was nothing. Amane bit his lips that were losing control due to joy and embarrassment, Yeah. and replied softly.

Later, he would have to thank Chitose who had yet to arrive. It was likely Mahiru had consulted with her quite a bit.

He was really overjoyed in many ways that he had a friend willing to celebrate his birthday, but a classmate, upon hearing that, suddenly came over,

Eh, its Fujimiya-kuns birthday?

Actually, its yesterday.

Once Itsuki affirmed, Eh~!? the classmate squealed loudly and stared at Amane.

Why didnt you say so? Shiina-san and the others didnt say anything. I didnt know at all!

Well, it was a surprise or something.

I see. But its just weird that they didnt tell usI dont have anything with me todayis juice fine?

Ill give you this candy then. Its limited edition.

Dont do it. Thats a bad idea.

Whats wrong with you!? This wonderful taste is addictive!

Your taste buds are wonky.

Amane was very perturbed by the classmates who seemed to have overheard, and Itsuki just smiled and whispered, Theyre all friendly, just accept them.

Ever since he decided to change himself before everyone, Amane felt that he had become a little closer to his classmatesbut it was the first time they openly went up to congratulate him, and his heart felt warm and fuzzy.

If he had remained clammed up and avoided getting involved with people, he wouldnt be surrounded by people like this now.

Erm, thanks everyone. Im really glad.

The classmates around Amane smiled brightly as he thanked them in a voice that couldnt hide his embarrassment, and once again, he muttered a small thank you.
