Wake up.

The warm sunshine is still shining into the room today.

It is a good day.

I woke up and immediately fell asleep and looked around.

Get up and go to Miss Lang. Mr. Lan was lying asleep on his desk.

Did you compile all kinds of information until late yesterday?

Run-san.

"Nh..."

Lan-san!

After speaking over and over, Mr. Lan opened his eyes.

And when I look at my face, I say, "Good morning," and after a while, I harden my face.

What's the matter?

"... no, it's Lerunda's birthday today." I was getting up early in the morning and trying to get ready, but I seem to have fallen asleep. Happy Birthday, Lerunda "

Mr. Lan said such a thing a little awkwardly.

I unintentionally laughed at the state of things.

Yes, today is my birthday.

Maybe Ran was planning to get up early and get ready for my birthday, just like she did on her last birthday. But I must have fallen asleep from a lot of busyness.

I'm just glad that Mr. Lan tried to celebrate me.

"I'm just glad you're celebrating. Thank you."

That said, Mr. Lan gently stroked my head.

That way, I feel relieved and very happy just because Mr. Lan gives me a gentle smile.

It's the sixth year that everyone is celebrating their birthday.

Before I was thrown away, I had never had my birthday celebrated, but I felt a strange feeling when I thought that the number that was not celebrated and the number that was celebrated would be the same rate next year.

It was a day when Alice was the only one celebrating.

But right now, it's a day for me and Alice to celebrate.

I'm glad of the fact that it's better for both of us to be celebrated than it is for either of us not to be celebrated.

In a previous letter from Alice, she wrote that Alice could be congratulated by others. It is not grand, but it is written that the people around me celebrate and are happy to receive presents.

Alice is happier now than she used to be treated specially and get a lot of things.

I also gave Alice a birthday present. You sent me the matching accessories. Alice sent me a present, too. But I was told that I should open the presents and letters on the same day, so I haven't opened them yet.

The letter and the present were in Mr. Lan's possession, so he gave them to me.

The letter from Alice also contained the words "Happy Birthday" and "We want to celebrate together".

Alice and I are twins, but we've never celebrated a birthday. That's probably a strange thing to look at from around you. I thought again that Alice and I had never lived as normal sisters.

Maybe next year we can invite Alice to this village and spend some time with her.

Or I could go back to Alice and celebrate with her.

I'm just happy to imagine such a future.

The present Alice gave me was a book. It seems that he bought a new book because he told me that he couldn't get one in this village.

Stories and cookbooks that are popular in the kingdom of Migga.

I'm somewhat glad that Alice chose for me.

It's still early in the morning, and even though many people are still celebrating in the future... I feel satisfied with my feelings.

Lerunda, let's get dressed.

It seems that they are preparing the dress this year as well as last year.

Last year's dress was too tall to fit in, but I'm glad you got a new dress for my birthday.

That alone makes me feel like I've been given a birthday present.

Ms. Lan was also changing her clothes.

Ran-san doesn't usually wear fashionable clothes, so it's fun to see Ran-san wearing such clothes.

Then, if you go outside the house with Mr. Lan...

"Congratulations, Lerunda."

"Happy birthday."

"Congratulations."

Everyone is dressed up.

Everyone is smiling and trying to celebrate my birthday.

- I'm so glad of that fact.

Although I am Miko, my birthday has become a kind of event in the village.

If this place gets bigger, will the celebration get bigger?

It is also fun to think about the future when the number of people gradually increases, and I think that people can also celebrate with them.
