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.

  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.
