Until Now, Until Forever (2)

That was a great party. I had a fantastic time.

Even though you spent most of the day tending to everyone?

Yeah. The chief was worried about that too, but I got a chance to eat as well.

The gyoza that the chief, Kafka, and Renga folded, Ten’s sushi, the dim sum that you ordered for me…

And Ushio’s “Chilly Melt-in-Your-Mouth ♪ Ice Palace Cake”. I couldn’t get enough of the melty vanilla ice cream in it.

Hah… You’re a strange one.

Hiyaaaa! ‘Scusies!

Chihiro. What’s going on?

Your presenter from the Random Present System is none other than Natsuyaki Chihiro! ♪

So, yeah!

Happy b-day, Yukipaso! Hope you have the most super-duper happy year ever and get all the big love in the whole world! ☆

Thank you, Chihiro. Thanks to everyone here, I’m already plenty happy.

For realsies? Awesome! ☆

So, like, here’s my present for you.

Chii’s choice! Put it on, and you’ll def go viral! It’s a party goods set full of stuff for disguises! ♪

Glasses, wigs, fake beards, rabbit ears… I already own some of these, but I’m glad to have new ones with such interesting designs.

Alright. Let me try some of them on.

What do you think? Does it look good on me?

O-M-G, Yukipaso, I didn’t expect you to put them on ASAP! You’re literally SO funny! Chii’s supes happy! And you’re looking totally fly in those glasses. ♪

Oh, Li-san! Can you take a pic of me and Yukipaso?

…Good grief.

Is this good enough?

Thanksies. ♪ We gotta take a selfie too…

Squeak…

Hmm? One of your li’l bunnies keeps looking at us.

What’s wrong, Haku?

Sorry, Li-san. Did I scare your buns?

No, you’re fine. Haku just wants to be let out.

Can I open the cage for him, Liguang?

Sure.

Squeak!

Woah, the bunny’s climbing onto Yukipaso’s lap and nuzzling into it?! So cute… Like, talk about a one-way trip to Planet Cuteness! ☆

Are you wishing me a happy birthday too?

You’re so sweet. Thank you, Haku.

(…Haku seems to be quite attached to Kamina. Just as I thought.)

Okay, lemme turn my flash off. I don’t wanna scare the bunny…

Aaaand snap! ☆

Oh, wait, you guys! Can I post a pic of Yukipaso with the bunny on dazzle?

I don’t mind. What about you, Liguang?

…Fine by me.

Thanksies!

Hm? Hmmm? Li-san, wait, are you, like, feeling jelly?

……

Ah! Is it ‘cuz Haku likes Yukipaso so much?

Of course not.

Even if you do feel that way, I think you’ll always be Haku’s favorite, Liguang.

…That’s enough. Stop. You can take your pictures, so just get it over with.

Ahaha! I got to see a new side of Li-san today. ♪

M’kay, lemme edit the background a bit. A hashtag… #YukipasoBdayAlert… Okay, looks good! ♪

Aaaaand post…

Wha?!

What’s wrong?

O-M-G, I’m getting, like, a crazy amount of likes on it already! Over a hundred in a minute?! And the comments are coming in super fast too!

“Thank you for the meal”, “Happy birthday, Yukikaze”, “I’ll always be supporting you”, “The funny glasses look good on you”…

I didn’t know it was gonna pop off this hard! Y-Yukipaso, you got some crazy power there…

I didn’t expect this either. But I don’t mind, as long as everyone’s happy.

I like seeing everyone’s smiles more than anything.
