So, it's time for one of Night Raven College's traditions, the birthday interview, huh.
Apparently the presenter that was chosen by the "Magical Birthday Dice" will come to bless me with good fortune but...
The guy who told me to meet two hours ago still hasn't shown up. Who exactly is responsible for this?
|
???
|
Thanks for waiting, Jack-kun!
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Sorry for being late! Man, I got my time eaten up by something I didn't plan for...
|
Jack
Jack
|
Ruggie-senpai! Thank you for coming!!
|

Ruggie

Hey now, you don't have to stand or anything. Today's your day, Jack-kun. C'mon, sit, sit!
|
Jack
Jack
|
...'lright.

So anyway, the guy that was chosen to be the presenter for Jack-kun's birthday this year was me. Ruggie Bucchi!
Happy Birthday, Jack-kun. Please take a look at this.

This... is Ruggie-senpai's smartphone. The screen that's up is... a food delivery service?
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Right. Jack-kun, you can order whatever you like today! Within the amount that's already charged on there, that is.
|
Jack
Jack
|
Eehh!!?? That... No way, you're treating me, Ruggie-senpai!?
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Hey, hey~ What kind of reaction is that? Even I'll pay up when I say I will, y'know?
C'mon, it'll take a while for it to deliver after ordering. Hurry up and choose what you want to eat!
|
Jack
Jack
|
...'lright. Then, I'll borrow your smartphone. First, let me check the featured popular dishes on Sage's Island.
Ohh, a large hamburger! An extra-large patty and thick-cut bacon... That seems very filling!
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Nice~! Jack-kun, order one for me too. A meal with fries and soda!
|
Jack
Jack
|
Then, I'll also make mine a meal. Two Deluxe Burger Meals... Alright, order completed.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Next is~~ ...Why don't you look up your favorite food, Jack-kun?
|
Jack
Jack
|
There's probably not going to be any pear compote... hm? There was one hit in the search results.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Alright, let's order that too! You gotta eat your heart out on your birthday, after all. And lastly~...
Jack-kun, you're still a growing first year, so maybe you should ask for "double meat" here?
Something that's waaay thicker than a hamburger patty!
|
Jack
Jack
|
Good idea! Hmm, there's a feature page for meat dishes too. Oh, this steak looks good!
!? This price is a little... it's definitely gone even past the point of extravagance.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Let me see? Uwaa, expensive!! Yeah but, today is Jack-kun's birthday and... should we do it?
|
Ruggie & Jack
Ruggie & Jack
|
......*Gulp*

|
Jack
Jack
|
Whew... Each and every dish was super delicious... Ruggie-senpai, thank you for the meal. I'll clean up.
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
Don't worry, Jack, you just relax. Both plating the food and the cleanup afterwards are my presents to you.
Ah, that's right. Make sure you thank Leona-san for the food.
|
Jack
Jack
|
Eh, Leona-senpai!?
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
When I was getting him to recharge some money for the food, that's what took a ton of my time, y'know.
|
Jack
Jack
|
N-no way... Though I had no idea, I basically made the Dorm Leader pay for my food...
|
Ruggie
Ruggie
|
It's fine, don't worry about it! 'Cause it's your day today, Jack-kun. Anyway...
If it's him, he'd probably say, "I'm glad that saved me the trouble of thinking of a present."
|
Jack
Jack
|
...That definitely sounds like something Leona-senpai would say. ......Alright. I'll thank him properly later!!
I did think it was weird that Ruggie-senpai would so generously treat me like this... But to think this would be the outcome.
On top of everything else, he also was cheeky enough to order his own food too...Seriously, what a shrewd person.
