ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

March 30 or March 31 is Razelia’s birthday, so this is a Birthday Extra chapter for her.

(T/N: This freaking fairy-lover…… Anyway, this chapter has been posted by Author-san on March 31.)

**********

It’s the 30th day of the Tree month. I’m currently using Teleportation Magic to get to Kuro’s home…… to be more specific, to the large field behind Kuro’s home. This is a field where not only vegetables, but also fruits and rice are grown by Raz as a hobby.

This field is so huge that I honestly feel that it’s beyond the level of a hobby but…… Raz-san herself said that she was just doing farming because she likes it.

When I arrived at the field, Raz came flying in from the distance, flapping her tiny wings.

[Kaitokun-saaaaaan! Heyyallo!]

[Hello, Raz-san.]

[Yes! Raz is happy to see you here, Kaitokun-san! What are you doing here today? Did you come to eat some vegetables? Or did you run out of rice?]

Raz-san is an expert farmer, and the vegetables from her fields are extremely delicious. That’s why, I often visit her, asking for some vegetables and rice. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

I did say that I would pay her for them, but saying “I don’t want any money because I’m making them as a hobby.”, Raz-san adamantly refused to receive my money, so I bartered with her for sweets.

However, I didn’t come to barter with her this time.

[No, today…… Errr, I heard it was Raz-san’s birthday…… so I came to celebrate with you.]

[Aya? Kaitokun-san, you remembered Raz’s birthday?]

[Yes, of course. Raz-san, happy birthday.]

[Yaaaayyy! Thank you! I’m so happy!]

Hearing my congratulatory words, Raz-san raised her hands in genuine happiness and flew around me, swiftly fluttering her wings.

How should I say this…… Even though she’s older than me, she’s really cute.

[I’ll also be attending the birthday party at Kuro’s home. I thought I’d come greet you first.]

[Raz is happy! Knowing Kaitokun-san came to my birthday makes Raz really, reaaaaaaally happy!]

[Ahaha, I’m glad you’re happy.]

[Yes! Raz is now finally “10652 years old”! It’s finally time for Raz to join the adult ladies!]

The hurdle for you to be counted as an adult is too high, isn’t it? ……Unnn, I don’t know what to say, hearing that she’s surprisingly much older than me, but I don’t think I need to say anything that could possibly dampen the happy smile on her face.

[E- Errr, I think Raz-san is adult enough though.]

[Really? Is Raz an adult lady?]

[Y- Yes…… You’re a lovely adult lady.]

[Is that so! If Kaitokun-san says so, then it must be true! Raz is an adult lady! Ehehe, Kaitokun-san, if you have any problems, you can always rely on the adult Raz!]

……What is this cute little creature…… The way she puffs out her small chest out as best as she can is just too adorable.

[Ahh, that’s right. I’ll give this to you now…… My birthday present for you.]

[Thank you! C- Can I open it now?]

[Yes, of course.]

[Yaaayyyy!]

Since Kuro’s family would be gathering for Raz-san’s birthday party and it would be quite boisterous, I decided to give the present to Raz-san beforehand.

With a big smile on her face, Raz-san opened up the present that I had prepared to fit Raz-san’s size.

[O- Ohhh…… It’s a scarf!]

After much deliberation, I had decided on a red woolen scarf as a present for Raz-san. This was because Raz-san had mentioned before how she doesn’t like the cold…… Well, I wondered if it would be a good idea to give her this since we’re around the season where it’s about to get warmer, but I’m glad to know that Raz-san seemed to be happy with her present.

Cheerfully wrapping the scarf around her neck, Raz-san gave me a smile as lovely as a blooming flower before she spoke.

[It’s veeeeeery warm! Kaitokun-san, thank you!]

[Errr, I’m glad you like it. I think it came out well, but I apologize if there’s some parts that I wasn’t able to knit well.]

[Hoehh? K- Kaitokun-san, you knitted this scarf!?]

[Y- Yes……]

The scarf I gave to Raz-san was something I knitted with the help of Illness-san. I was a complete novice, but thanks to Illness-san’s skillful guidance, I think it came out pretty good.

Hearing my words, Raz-san’s expression changed to one of surprise, and she began brushing her hand on the scarf around her neck several times.

[……A- Amazing! Being able to knit a scarf, K- Kaitokun-san…… A- Are you a genius!?]

The genius hurdle is surprisingly low……

[……I just have a good teacher.]

[That’s not true! Kaitokun-san is amazing! Really, reaaaaaally awesome!]

[Ahaha, thank you.]

[It’s Raz who should be saying that! Thank you! I’m very happy with your present, Kaitokun-san!]

Hearing Raz-san’s words of praise and gratitude with a pure-hearted smile on her face, I felt some gentle warmth bud within my heart.

[Once again, happy birthday to you, Raz-san.]

[Yes! Thank you! Kaitokun-san…… I looooooooove you!]

Soothed by the cuteness of Raz-san, who jumped at me as if to express her joy with a cute hug, I felt really happy.

And then, from that day onward…… Raz-san could be seen always wearing a red scarf, regardless of the season.
