Saki
Big bro, the bath is ready, I'll go ahead and-
お兄ちゃ～ん！ お風呂わいたんだけど、先に——
Tsukasa
SAKIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!
咲希ーーーーーっ！！！
Saki
Ahaha, do you wanna take a bath that badly? Then, lemme know when you're done, okay?~♪
あはは、そんなにお風呂入りたかったの？ じゃあ、出たら教えてね～♪
Tsukasa
Yeah, got it!
Wait no, that's not what I meant!
Wait no, that's not what I meant!
ああ、わかった！ ——って、そうじゃない！
Tsukasa
Saki, please take this!
咲希、これを受け取ってくれ！
Saki
Woah, a bunny envelope! So cute!
わあ、うさちゃんの封筒だ！ かわいい！
Saki
Let's see... "An invitation to My Dearest Beloved Sister, Saki Tenma-sama. It is our pleasure to invite you to the Birthday Celebration of Tsukasa Tenma"...!?
えっと……『招待状 最愛の妹 天馬咲希さま この度、天馬司誕生祭を開催することになりましたので、 ご招待させていただきます』……！？
Saki
Eh~? Big bro, you're throwing your own birthday party!?
ええ～っ！？ お兄ちゃん、自分で誕生日パーティーするの！？
Tsukasa
Exactly! But it's not just for celebration, y'know?
そのとおり！ だが、ただ祝われるだけではないぞ？
Tsukasa
I plan to make it a party to express my gratitude to the people who have always looked after and supported me!
日頃世話になっている人達に感謝の気持ちを伝えるための パーティーにするつもりだ！
Saki
Oh~! But why so suddenly?
おお～！ でも、なんで急に？
Tsukasa
Actually, the other day, while I was gathering information for our show, I came across this article about a birthday event for this certain actor!
実はこの前、ショーの情報収集をしていた時に、 とある役者のバースデーイベントの記事を見つけてな！
Tsukasa
"Your birthday is more than a day to celebrate your birth. It is a day to show gratitude to those who are there for you in your life". I find myself strongly agreeing with those words.
『誕生日は生まれたことを祝ってもらう日ではない。 自分を生かしてくれている人達に感謝する日だ』という言葉に 強く共感したんだ
Saki
I see! So that's by Big bro decided to do the same too!
そっか！ それでお兄ちゃんもやろうって思ったんだ！
Tsukasa
Yeah! I've put a lot of thought of and efforts into making this an amazing birthday celebration. So you best look forward to it!
ああ！ あっと驚くような誕生祭にするため、 内容も練りに練ったからな。楽しみにしていてくれ！
Saki
Woah...! I look forward to see what you have planned!
わあ……！ 何やるのか今から楽しみー！
Saki
Ah, hey hey, are you already done with the preparations?
あ、ねえねえ。準備って、もう終わっちゃってる？
Tsukasa
No, I'm just rushing to get the invitations ready.
いや、急いで招待状を準備しているところだ
Tsukasa
There's still a week until my birthday, I should get the invitations out soon, or everyone's schedules might be full by then.
誕生日まであと１週間——早く招待状を渡さねば、 みんなの予定が埋まってしまうかもしれんからな
Saki
Then, lemme help you with the invitations!
じゃあ、招待状作りアタシも手伝うよ！
Tsukasa
What!? I'm really happy you offered, but... Saki is one of my most important guests.
なに！？ それは嬉しい申し出だが……。 咲希も大事な招待客のひとりだしな
Saki
Pretty please~ It sounds like tons of fun helping you out, and it'd be a real pity if there weren't enough guests, even though this party is gonna be super entertaining!
おねが～い。お手伝いすっごく楽しそうだし、 せっかくおもしろいパーティーになりそうなのに、 お客さん少なかったら寂しいもん！
Tsukasa
Hmm...
うーん……
Saki
...Big bro~
……お兄ちゃ～ん
Tsukasa
Got it, got it.
Then, I'll take you up on this offer, Saki.
Then, I'll take you up on this offer, Saki.
わかったわかった。 では、咲希の申し出に甘えるとしよう
Saki
Yay!
やったー！
Saki
Hey, hey, who else are you gonna hand out the invitations to? And if there's anything else I can help with, you gotta tell me!
ねえねえ、招待状はあと誰に渡すの？ 他にも手伝えることあったら言って言ってー！
Tsukasa
Now, now, calm down, Saki. Anyway, as for the guests...
まあまあ落ち着け咲希。 とりあえず、招待客だが——
Tenma's Mother
Saki, did you ask your brother about the bath?
——咲希、お兄ちゃんにお風呂どうするか聞いてくれた？
Saki
Ah...
あ……
Tsukasa
Come to think of it, it's bath time, isn't it?
そういえば、風呂の時間だったな
Tsukasa
Let's continue our conversation after we've both taken a bath then! Let's put on the best party together, Saki!
では、話の続きはお互い風呂に入ってからとしよう！ 一緒に最高のパーティーにするぞ、咲希！
Saki
Hurray!
うん！ えいえいおー！
On the day of Tsukasa's Birthday
Residential Area
Emu
I really look forward to Tsukasa-kun's birthday party ♪
司くんのお誕生日パーティー、すっごく楽しみだねっ♪
Nene
Same here. I was really surprised when I was handed the invitations. Somehow, it was so cutely decorated...
まあね。急に招待状を渡された時はびっくりしたな。 なんか、やたら可愛くデコられてたし
Rui
From what I've heard, it seems like Saki-kun was helping him out.
話を聞いた限りでは 咲希くんが手伝っていたみたいだね
Rui
Now, Tsukasa-kun's house should be around the corner...
Ah, I think I can see it now.
Ah, I think I can see it now.
さて、たしか司くんの家はこの角を曲がって……。 ——ああ、見えてきた
Nene
Yeah.
...Wait, isn't that some kind of sign standing in front of the house there?
...Wait, isn't that some kind of sign standing in front of the house there?
うん。……って、なんか家の前に看板みたいなのが 立ってない？
Emu
There really is! Let's see... "Tsukasa Tenma's Birthday Celebration is this way!" is what it said~♪
ほんとだー！ えっと…… 『天馬司誕生祭の会場はこちら！』だって～っ♪
Rui
Fufu, such a colorful and eye-catching sign. With this, it's easy to tell that this is Tsukasa-kun's house.
フフ、とてもカラフルで目立つ看板だね。 これなら、ここが司くんの家だとすぐにわかる
Nene
No, this is a bit too much emphasis...
いや、さすがに主張強すぎるでしょ
Emu
Ehehe ☆ I'm getting more and more excited now! Let's hurry and go in!
えへへっ☆ あたし、も～っとわくわくしてきちゃった！ 早く入ろー！
Saki
Emu-chan, Nene-chan, Rui-san! We welcome you to "Tsukasa Tenma's Birthday Celebration"!
えむちゃん、ねねちゃん、るいさん！ ようこそ、『天馬司誕生祭』へー！
Saki
Please, take your seats and wait here~♪
どうぞ、こちらでお待ちくださ～い♪
Emu
Okay~♪
は～いっ♪
Saki
Big bro~! Everyone's all here now!
お兄ちゃ～ん！ みんな、そろったよー！
Honami
Ah, I knew that you all were invited as well.
あ、やっぱり皆さんも招待されていたんですね
Rui
Yes, we all got the invitations that was made together with Saki-kun's help.
ああ、咲希くんと合作の招待状をもらってね
Ichika
The invitations with all kinds of decorations on them...
あのいろいろデコってあった……
Shiho
At first, I didn't know that Saki had helped out, and it really caught me by surprise because I thought Tsukasa-san was the one who prepared them.
最初、咲希が手伝ったって知らなくて、 司さんが用意したんだと思ってびっくりしました
Saki
So then, you really thought Big bro could've decorated these envelopes so cutely like this?
それって、お兄ちゃんがあんなにかわいく封筒を デコれるって思ったってこと？
Shiho
Well, I didn't mean it like that...
いや、そんなわけないじゃん……
Honami
That's why it was even more surprising, isn't it?
だから余計に驚いちゃったんだよね
Rui
...Come to think of it, I don't see Aoyagi-kun, has he not arrived yet?
……そういえば、青柳くんが見当たらないけれど、 まだ来ていないのかな？
Saki
About that... Toya-kun said he kept his schedule open for today, but...
それが……。とーやくん、スケジュールあけて おいてくれてたんですけど——
Saki
The event he's supposed to attend ended up getting rescheduled into today instead...
参加する予定だったイベントの日程が 変更になって今日になっちゃったみたいで……
Nene
Is that so...? That's really a shame. When we talked in class, he was really looking forward to it.
そうなんだ……。残念だね。 クラスでしゃべった時、楽しみにしてたのに
Saki
Ah, but he dropped by this morning! He brought a present from Kohane-chan and the others with him too!
あ、でも朝一で家に来てくれたの！ こはねちゃん達からのプレゼントも一緒に持ってきてくれて！
Saki
Besides, I already promised to take perfect shots of Big bro's majestic figure and then send them to him afterwards~♪
それに、今日のお兄ちゃんの雄姿を アタシがバッチリ撮って、あとで送る約束もしてるんだ～♪
Emu
That's great to hear! Then, Toya-kun can smile as well-
よかったー！ それなら、冬弥くんもニッコリ——
Shiho
Eh, the lights went out...
え、電気消えたけど……
Rui
Seems like it's starting.
どうやら、始まるみたいだね
Tsukasa's Voice
Everyone, it's so good to see you all here!!
みんな、よく来たな！！
Nene
Eh? From where...
あれ？ どこから……
Ichika
Ah, on top of the stairs!
あっ、階段の上！
Tsukasa
