"No...! Um... I can't help but wear it, so can I leave it without using it for a while...?"

Once they stopped, they almost laughed together, leaving me lying down.

I'm sure he's looking up now, but I can only look at Cosage.I really thought I could use it this evening, but I suddenly felt embarrassed when I thought it was the same as Pride.

I would have liked it if it was a regular match, but I can't believe it was a dress suit.I would have liked to use it if it had been more crushed.The teacher also taught me that it was common for a family or a clan to wear a unified ornament, but it felt as if it meant something different to her without a blood connection.It's been more than a year or six since I became a family member.

With that in mind, Pride gently leaned towards me. [M]When I leaned towards Tiara with my shoulders poked down, Pride gently put his hand on my shoulders. [M]

"I thought the hair decorations I received from Tiara were too nice to use.I know how Stale feels. "

The hands that accompanied me were immediately released.Pride got another package on the table and gave it to me again. [M]

"Then will you open mine next?... it's not as nice as Tiara, but it's embarrassing. "

The pride of daring to change the story and the wrapping of both hands open my eyes.

This time, Tiara gently kept the costume in my hands and the whole box."Onii-sama," she says, and then returns to the table with Tiara's hand instead of Cosage.

I started by accepting a gift from Pride with both hands and unscratching the lovely packaging.

"I didn't know it was a gift for a boy either...But I really wanted to give this to Stale. "

Sorry to disappoint you, but it was a little strange to apologize before I opened it.

I'd be happy to get anything from pride.Rather, this beautiful package was enough, and I was more happy that they had welcomed me since the morning.

I wonder what's in such a beautiful package. When I think of what Pride wanted to give me, my forgotten heart bursts out again.

Your wrapped fingertips tremble strangely, consciously holding your breath.And finally, if you flip the package and open it,

... soon understood.

"Wow! It's so nice! I've never seen anything so nice!"

Tiara speaks before me. [M]

I couldn't say a word while Tiara repeatedly praised her for showing up.When I thought about it, I swallowed it so I could hold it from the back of my throat.I sincerely think it was good to have a face that was difficult to get an expression.If it was an easy-to-understand face, they would have realized that I would definitely cry.

"... I'm sorry if you don't like it. I knew it would be better for someone like Tiara, right?"

You mistook me for disappointed that I didn't react, and shook my head aside in a hurry at the pride of lowering my voice. [M]

I can't say I don't like it. I'm glad.Very, very, very happy. I was so happy that I wanted to cry right now, but I was scared that my voice was dying when I spoke.I haven't even seen Pride's face properly yet.

Pride, who understood my reply as "good", said one word at a time, choosing a word. [M]I don't know why you gave this to me, how you feel, why you want it all.

I knew everything by the time I saw this, but I was still too happy to say it, and I chewed on my shaking lips.From the face I leaned over, the stuff in the back of my eyes seemed to be really overflowing, but when I raised my face and looked at Pride's face, it seemed more crying and painful.

Your shoulders are stretched up.Then Tiara said to me, "Oniisama...?"And now I narrowed the voice that was bouncing.The next moment, I was wrapped in something soft and fluffy, just being conscious not to put too much force into my precious fingers.

"Happy birthday, Stale. I'm happy to have a lovely brother like you."

A thin, soft arm hugs you, and even the body that was stuck together pulls you closer to pride.

"I'm happy too," Tiara hugged me from the other side.Soft feeling, scent, and warm enough to fall asleep, her shoulders naturally relaxed.But together we loosened up a little to the lacrimal gland and cried only a little now that we were not seen thanks to the hugging.

One grain was accumulated from the corner of my eyes and passed to the side of my nose, so I held them back with my arms.It's embarrassing to see you cry so quickly in front of Pride, in front of Tiara.

"Thank you... thank you. I'm happy, too..."

Though the voice was too loud, I heard a smile overflowing from both sides instead of answering.

Two favorite gifts placed on the lap.Even though my birthday hasn't even started yet, I really thought it was a very happy birthday.

It's not a lie, it's a deception, it's not a social resignation, it's not a calculation, it's not on the outside, really.

……

"So, Stale."

After locking and storing each gift from the two of them, Pride threw it at me on my way to breakfast.

Now that she and Tiara have been able to see my face properly since the gift was given to me, she and Tiara are holding hands.

If it's true, I'm the one helping out on the stairs, and Tiara wraps her left hand around her, and she says to Pride, "Not today?"I had no choice but to nod when I grabbed my right hand.It was when I walked with embarrassment that I was still in the middle if I just connected my hands.

"Is there anything you want me to do instead?"

The bomb statement by Pride made me feel more powerful than I thought. [M]

Even though I don't have to appear on my face right now, my anxiety is transmitted to my palm.Besides, I can't hide my face or mouth now because my hands are protected by Pride and Tiara.

The story of Pride was about making up for the gift I gave him.She still seems dissatisfied with the gift she gave me. [M]To be precise, seeing Tiara's costume meant that instead of really apologizing to me and giving me something that might not be in shape.

I'm really glad I got that from Pride, and I like it, but I still can't tell you anything.If this happens, I think I should have put it on my face more at that time.But at that time, I was too happy to cry, and I couldn't afford to consciously express myself.

I can't find words in pursuit of too many gifts from Pride.Er... if you shut your mouth, you'll be even more "I'll do anything I can", and I'm afraid the First Princess will say such a thing.I blurred my vision and stopped my legs.

Pride always gives me nothing more than what I want.Even today, you hugged me, gave me such a nice thing, and even in front of my room...

"...... really, is everything okay?"

My footsteps made me sound like I was going to disappear.

But he didn't hesitate to return the pride.I'm sure what's just happened to me is luxurious, and I think it's cunning to wish for it here.However, it still convinces me that it is a "brother's wish" in my head.

Pretend not to hear the voice of the head shouting louder than the first princess.

"Hmm, from now on... I don't mind my birthday... just as long as it's forgiven ─ ─..."

Of course.

As much as I was ashamed of her, she answered me in one word. [M]

Tiara laughed and shook her hand back and forth, happily tied to me."I'm happy," he said, watching it and shaking it the same way, so my hands are shaking back and forth like a blanket.

More than that, my vision and head were shaking. [M]

"I love you. I love you."

"I don't change my mind."

I can't say I'll ever forget a day.

"Even if he's dead."

"All the time."
