Aoba: Well, it’s done. I still have some time left before Haga-san’s back. Anyways, I finished the data reports. *more typing* Hmm? A customer? At this rare time?
Welcom-…ah…
Noiz: Yo
Aoba: You… Noiz! Why are you here?!
Noiz: *sigh*
Aoba: What is it? Why are you here at the store suddenly? Do you want something?
Noiz:Here.
Aoba: Hmm? A paper bag? Seems kinda heavy? Uh…it is!!! What is this?! What’s inside?!
Noiz: See for yourself.
Aoba: That bored tone of yours. You’re still the same as always. Geez…
Huh? What’s this? Candy? Lollipop, chocolate, gum, pound cake, caramel, Ramune (*Ramune is a carbonated soft drink originally sold in Japan)
Noiz: It’s for you.
Aoba:Huh? Why? Is today something special? Like an anniversary?
Noiz: No.
Aoba: Then, what?
Noiz: Well, not really something you would call an anniversary.
Aoba: Then it is something, right? Tell me.
Noiz: Nothing. It’s not important.
Aoba: Of course it is. You came all this way for this, right? Tell me!
Noiz: …
Aoba: Come on, hurry!
Noiz: …Birthday.
Aoba: Huh? Birthday? Whose?
Noiz: Mine.
Aoba: Seriously?!
Noiz: Shut up.
Aoba: I had no idea that it was your birthday!
Noiz: ‘Cause I didn’t tell you.
Aoba: What!? I would’ve had the chance to get you something!
Hm? Wait…hey…This bag by any chance…couldn’t be a present, right?
Noiz: Well…if you consider this a relation to birthdays, then this would be your closest answer.
Aoba: No-no-no! Why did you bring a gift? That’s strange. I should be the one giving you a gift!
Noiz: It’s nothing…I didn’t particularly want to celebrate it.
Aoba: Huh? Then…this bag…
Noiz: Birthdays are generally meant to be celebrated, right?
Aoba: Well…yeah…
Noiz: Then it means…that it should be an auspicious, happy day for the birthday person, right?
Aoba: An auspicious day…? That sounds weird, but I guess it would be something like that.
Noiz: In that case, it’s not wrong to do something that leaves the person happy.
Aoba: Hmm? Leave happy…? Uh…What do you mean?
Noiz: *frustrated sigh* That means…as the birthday person for this auspicious day, I don’t have any problem trying to make someone else happy.
Aoba: Huh? E-Eh? Um…this means that…what you’re saying is…even though it’s your birthday, you’re trying to make me happy?
Noiz: Right.
Aoba: Why?
Noiz: *frustrated sigh again* You don’t get it?
Aoba: I don’t get it!
Noiz: A happy day for me would be one where I make you happy…I…nevermind. Eat…
Aoba: Hey…! What is it? Now I’m curious!
Noiz: *frustrated sigh AGAIN*
Aoba: *irritated groan* Well, whatever. Then, I’ll give you this one “Ah”
Noiz: Hmm?
Aoba: Well then…fufu…*unwraps candy* Here. Open wide. “Aaaaahhhhh~~!”
Noiz: *startled* Are you kidding? What are you doing?
Aoba: He-he-he. Come on!~ Come on!~ It’s your birthday, but you bought a present for me. I feel inconvenient. So the least you could do is go “aaahhh~!”
