I Favor the Villainess

The season is early summer.

The Kingdom of Bauer has four seasons, back when the rainy season finally dawned.

Today the college is also on holiday, enjoying a family watertight.

Master Claire and I were watching May and Allea study at home.

The two of them were in an orphanage, so they should have learned to read and write the least, but they didn't seem to get very good grades because they weren't familiar.

Still, if I teach you again, it seems to swallow fast, and now I have more vocabulary to write, and I'm starting to equip myself with age-appropriate upbringing.

"Claire, what the hell is this?

May asked Master Claire as she rode on Rare.

May seems to like it over Rare these days.

"This is my birthday."

"Tanjiyabi?

"I am, May. That's a good one, Nebi."

To Master Claire's answer, Allea says she seems to be good at neck tilting May.

"Alea is right. When's your two birthdays?

"I'm screwed. You remember me, Allear?

"Of course, May. It's the thirteenth day of the twelfth moon."

The calendar of this world is similar to the Earth's solar calendar, but a little simplified.

One year is twelve months, and one month thirty days.

"You are. When the day comes, we'll both celebrate."

"Wow."

"I look forward to it."

Lady Claire narrowed her eyes when she saw May and Allea delighted innocently.

And accidentally turn this way,

Speaking of which, I don't even know Ray's birthday.

I said.

"Naturally. I don't know myself."

"What do you mean?

"Forgot? Because I am a lost spirit."

"Ah..."

Yes, it is.

My parents picked me up in this world wandering the city of Euclid at an early age.

In other words, we don't know the exact birthday.

"So you didn't celebrate your birthday or anything?

"Because you couldn't afford a civilian like that. It's about New Year's and Harvest Festival at best, I can't believe we're celebrating."

Civilians have many poor and prolific houses.

If I was celebrating my family's birthday or something, that would just wear me out.

Celebrating your birthday is a noble event.

"It is...... So when was Ray's last birthday?

"Previous life, is it?

"Yeah, Ray's last life was a pretty blessed house, wasn't it?

Not long before the revolution, it explains to Lady Claire that I am a reincarnator.

Apparently, Master Claire remembered that very well.

"Right. The calendar is subtly different from this world, but will it be the nineteenth day of the seventh moon, to put it bluntly?"

"It won't be long!

Claire pissed me off when I told her to hurry up.

"Ray, are you almost there?

"Hey, do you want to go?

Mae and Allea are coming too.

Hi. I think I'm interested in celebrating my birthday.

"Well, I don't care about my birthday, so make it grand when it's May, Allea, and Dear Claire's birthday -"

"What are you talking about! You can't care less!

I can't do what I want. They did.

"It's my precious family's birthday. Not without a proper celebration."

"That's right."

"Yes, it is."

When it comes to the three of us, I'm weak as far as I'm concerned.

But even though I was old enough in my previous life to want to forget my birthday, I can't pin another one on you now that they say it's my birthday.

"You have three days till your birthday. May, Alea, I'll get you ready!

"Haaay."

Yes, sir.

"Um... Dear Claire, what should I do?

"Ray is normal. It's enough to do your usual chores."

They're going to have the three Claires ready for their birthday.

"Come on, you're gonna be busy."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The next three days were short notice.

Folding and cutting colored paper, the interior of the room is decorated and the celebratory mood is augmented with clarity in the house.

Master Claire seemed to think of something else, but I don't know because I haven't been allowed to participate in the preparations.

Even though I felt a little alienated, I was a little thrilled myself, and that was an unexpected discovery.

That's how we finally had that night.

"Happy birthday, Ray"

Congratulations.

"Congratulations."

The celebration was to be at dinner.

Beginning with Master Claire, May and Allea also congratulate us.

"Thank you, Master Claire. May and Alea, too."

I returned a hug to each and every one of them with all my heart.

"Sa, please have a seat, we're having a little treat tonight...... sorry Ray made the dish though"

"Hehe, I don't mind. Thank you for paying for the materials."

"If you don't let that happen, you won't know whose birthday it is."

Master Claire said she wanted to make it herself up to the critical point, but as the elite in other areas lied, only culinary talent wasn't fatal.

For this reason, I made the dish only at the expense of ingredients, but it was a lot of fun to be able to fully revitalize my arms because there was a conservancy menu going on here from the revolution.

The menu is roasted beef, potato salad, onion gratin soup, baguette and cream brulee.

"Well, shall I take it?"

"Ah, Ray. Can you give me a minute? May, Alea. Give me that."

"Yes."

Yes, sir.

That said, they went to the children's room once and then came back.

"Yes, Ray. Oh, my God."

"Thank you very much."

With that said, the two of them handed me a carefully packaged package.

"Can I open it?

"Yeah."

"Of course."

Has the wrapping paper been bought somewhere?

The wrapping's messiness tells me that it was something the two of them wrapped from their hands.

I carefully unwrapped this wrapping paper while trying to take care of it too.

"Is this... a sketch?

What was inside was my painting with crayons on painting paper.

I was portrayed with a full smile all over the screen.

From the two of you, is this what I look like?

"Have you been hanging in there?

"What do you think, are you at -?

"Yeah, just like that. Thanks, May, Alea."

I hugged them again as I was about to come a little loose.

The two of them happily hold me back with their eyes narrowed.

Really, these are my proud daughters.

"Do you have it from me, too?

With that said, Master Claire also gave me the wrap, blushing her cheeks.

That look is already a gift.

"Is this... a handkerchief?

"I'm sorry for the crude."

What Lady Claire said was only modest.

The handkerchief is embroidered with very fine flowers and is not entirely the property of the general public.

This is noble property.

It was such a beautiful handkerchief that I hesitated to use it.

I guess Master Claire embroidered it herself.

If you look closely,

- Dear Rei. From Claire

Not a word is embroidered.

I'm afraid it's this quality in three days.

Nothing but treasures like this.

"Thank you, Master Claire"

"Hehe, if you're happy, I'm happy."

I wasn't even expecting you to prepare a gift, so I was pretty surprised.

Honestly, I think I would have cried if it weren't for May and Allea.

"Let's make it dinner. It's Ray's dish. It's delicious."

"Yeah. Yum."

"Ah, May. The gardening is sloppy."

"Hehe."

That's how the lively celebratory dinner began.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Your birthday day is over."

"Right."

May and Allea are already in their dreams.

After the two of them had gone to sleep, Lady Claire and I were alone for a quiet cup of tea.

"What do you say, you have a little fun?

"I've never had a happy birthday like this, including in my last life."

Birthdays were fun because I was close to my family even in my previous life.

But it's a different joy to celebrate my birthday with the family who chose me.

"Hehe, good for you."

"Thank you, Master Claire"

I said with all my heart.

I can spend my birthday with someone I love - how happy that is, I was biting it off.

"Without you, my life would have been more boring. Thanks for being born, Ray."

"Dear Claire..."

Meaning that the word is spoken by Claire.

I understand that so painfully.

Lady Claire spent so much time as a nobleman.

My current life with me is better than that, that's what you're telling me.

There's no way I'm not happy.

"By the way...... I have another gift for you..."

"... guess what"

Master Claire is messing with it.

Is this... is that okay?

"Me, I'm a little too happy and emotionally unstable today, so I could be a lot of a wolf, okay?

"I'll only forgive you today. But sometimes I'm a hunter, right?

"Shall I try it"

"Just what I want."

I pulled Master Claire's hand and headed to the bedroom.

I'll just note that another gift from Master Claire was great.
