Chapter 395: [395] Hosting a Grand Birthday Banquet for Onii-chan
Chapter 395: Hosting a Grand Birthday Banquet for Onii-chan
The next morning came in the blink of an eye.
Hachiman got up as usual, dressed, and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
Having dinner at Yukino's place last night and drinking a cup of tea she personally brewed, he bid farewell afterwards.
Though Hachiman did consider not coming back last night, it was unlikely Yukino would agree to that. So, rather than having her chase him away, he decided to leave on his own.
But last night brought quite a few gains.
A hug, a kiss, a dinner cooked by Yukino...
Those were certainly worth it.
After freshening up, Hachiman entered the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Soon, Komachi, yawning, descended from her room on the second floor.
"Morning, Onii-chan," she greeted.
"Morning, Komachi," Hachiman smiled and nodded.
"Breakfast will be ready soon. Why don't you go freshen up first?" he suggested.
"Okay," Komachi nodded, yawning again, and headed to the bathroom.
Though they've had similar conversations countless times, neither of them grew tired of it. After all, they were siblings, and wasn't this peaceful life enjoyable?
....
"I'm starting—!"
Seated at the dining table, the siblings exchanged their pre-meal ritual and began their breakfast.
"Hey, Onii-chan, what's the date today?" Komachi asked casually while munching on her meal.
Hachiman pondered briefly before responding, "It's August 7th."
"Ah, August 7th," Komachi nodded, then suddenly recalled something.
Wait, August 7th? That means tomorrow is Onii-chan's birthday.
Indeed, Hachiman's birthday fell on August 8th, which was why he used to be called "hachi" (eight) when he was younger.
As Hachiman's biological sister, Komachi would never forget her Onii-chan's birthday.
However, observing Hachiman's expression, there was no indication that he planned to celebrate his own birthday.
This left Komachi feeling a bit disheartened.
How could Onii-chan be like this? It's an important day that only comes once a year, and we should invite all his older sisters over to make it lively.
Since Onii-chan doesn't intend to celebrate his birthday himself, then I, as his sister, will give him a surprise.
With this resolution in mind, Komachi made up her mind.
Komachi's intuition was correct; Hachiman indeed had no intentions of celebrating his own birthday because he simply didn't have that habit. In his past life, he was just a seasoned gamer and content creator, occasionally helping out at his aunt's house before returning to his rental apartment exhausted every day, playing games to relax before sleep. Birthdays? What were those? Just time-consuming and costly activities he had long abandoned.
After breakfast, Hachiman returned to his room to begin writing.
"That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime" was nearing its conclusion, and he planned to release the final volume this month before embarking on the "Type Moon" series.
As for Komachi, after breakfast, she too retreated to her room.
She retrieved her mobile phone, opened Line, created a chat group, and began inviting people to join.
*Ding, Ding, Ding.*
As the notification sounds rang out, numerous girls were added to the chat.
Yukinoshita Yukino has joined the chat.
Yuigahama Yui has joined the chat.
Miura Yumiko has joined the chat.
Hiratsuka Shizuka has joined the chat.
Busujima Saeko has joined the chat.
...
...
...
...
Totsuka Saika has joined the chat.
Zaimokuza has joined the chat.
With the final two joining the group, the notifications finally stopped. The group now comprised over twenty members.
Finding themselves unexpectedly added to a new chat, naturally, everyone was a bit perplexed.
Yumiko: "What's this group for? Why am I here?"
Yui: "Oh, Yumiko, you're here too?"
Zaimokuza: "Is this some sort of clandestine organization? Have people finally recognized the magnificence of General Zaimokuza? Hahaha."
Saika: "Ahem, from what I've gathered, it seems like we're all classmates from school."
Erina: "I'm not from your school."
Alice: "Me neither."
...
As the conversation unfolded, the host finally joined the chat.
Komachi: "Hey everyone, I'm the one who added you all."
As Hachiman's little sister, Komachi naturally had a good grasp of his social circle. She not only added all the girls but also knew the contact information of the few male classmates.
Upon seeing Komachi speak up, Yukino followed suit: "Komachi-chan, is there a reason you've added us to a group?"
Komachi replied, "Hey everyone, the thing is, tomorrow is Onii-chan's birthday. So, I added you all to this group to discuss plans for celebrating his birthday."
Upon reading this message, everyone was somewhat surprised.
Zaimokuza said, "My dear friend's birthday? I must attend and prepare the best gift for him."
Saika added, "Hachiman's birthday? I'll definitely be there."
Yui exclaimed, "Wow, it's actually Hikki's birthday? That's great! But why didn't he mention it himself?"
Kotonoha chimed in, "Yeah, why hasn't Hachiman-kun mentioned his birthday before?"
At this point, Komachi sent an angry emoji and continued, "It's all because Onii-chan is such a blockhead and doesn't want to celebrate his birthday. If I hadn't remembered his birthday, he probably would have just let it pass like any other day."
Upon reading this, everyone felt somewhat resigned, but considering Hachiman's personality, they realized he might actually do something like that.
Yui exclaimed, "Hikki is being too much. It's his birthday, only once a year! How can he just let it go like that?"
Alice agreed, "Exactly! Hachiman-kun doesn't appreciate himself enough."
Komachi then shared her plan: "So, I want to secretly hold a birthday party for Onii-chan. But I need all of your help."
Yui assured, "No problem, Komachi-chan! We'll definitely help you."
Reading this, one could imagine the determined expressions on their faces.
Not only her, but the other girls were also willing to help.
Saeko said, "Komachi-chan, tell us what you need. We're here to help."
Kotonoha added, "Yeah, for the sake of giving Hachiman-kun a proper birthday celebration, we'll give it our all."
Alice agreed, "That's right! We'll help you for sure."
At this point, Komachi directly expressed her thoughts: "Actually, my plan is simple. Tomorrow, a few of you sisters will lure Onii-chan out, while the rest of us will decorate the room and surprise him."
"Let's throw a grand birthday party for Onii-chan, everyone!"
