“…don’t ask why, go on! Alright?”
I asked Cedric with my eyes twinkling.
Then Cedric suddenly nodded with a look of embarrassment.
“What is it?”
“Oh, and I also need eight thin candles!”
Cedric’s quick reply gave me a moment of anger, then I remembered another preparation and shouted with eight fingers.
“Where are you going to use the candles?”
Cedric grumbled, “It is still in broad daylight. Why do you need something useless?”
But even so, it was Cedric who faithfully called the servant and told him to run an errand.
After a while, about 10 minutes later, a chocolate cake was placed in front of us.
A cake about the size of the palms of my two flat palms put together.
In short, it was a little too small for a party.
However, the emptiness was covered by the rich cream and fresh fruit on top.
“What? Did you get it quickly?”
Cedric asked the servant who brought the cake with an interested look.
Then the servant replied with a smile.
“There was a cake he was making in the kitchen, so I brought it right away.”
“Ohh.”
Cedric blew a short whistle.
Then he looked at me and asked.
“So why did you say you need this cake? Now tell me.”
“Ah, that’s.”
I glanced at him for a moment, then replied.
“……I wanted to do a birthday party for Cedric. Haha. Isn’t it a bit random?”
“What?”
Cedric asked with a questioning expression on his face.
At the same time, another servant bringing eight candles had a similar reaction.
“Yes?”
He had just entered the room, and he was so startled that he toppled the wax candle he was holding in his hand.
Roll.
The sound of the rolling candles resounded clearly.
“I’m, sorry! I , I made a mistake.”
The servant apologized hastily, picked up the candles and left.
But I showed no interest in him and only Cedric stared at me.
Then a sharp question flew in.
“Are you crazy?”
“…probably. I think.”
I shrugged my shoulders in embarrassment.
Then Cedric let out a sigh of ‘Huh, huh’ over and over again.
It was an added bonus that looked at me with an expression that looked like a troublesome person.
“You really…”
“Hehe.”
I laughed helplessly. And asked.
“Do you not like it?”
“I don’t hate it! It’s just that this is a little bit…”
Cedric immediately denies it out loud, pauses for a moment, then mumbles in a low voice.
It was contradictory.
He doesn’t hate it, but it’s a little off-putting, what the hell is that?
After a while,
“This, this is really awkward! Why the hell are you doing something like a birthday party? It’s useless.”
Cedric exclaimed out of nowhere as if he was making an excuse to me, who didn’t say anything.
I immediately smiled back.
“Because you like it?”
“What, what…?”
For a moment, Cedric’s face cleared and hardened.
And then I cried.
“Because I want to take care of you!”
“……!”
Cedric opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but soon he lowered his head and covered his face with his hand.
At the edge of his finger, I could see the tip of his red ear.
To Cedric who hid his face, I finished my speech by scratching my cheek.
“……Well, maybe that’s the usual reason. And it’s not useless, don’t you feel sad if you omit these things?”
Cedric has a very strange personality.
He gets angry when you’re harsh and ignoring, and he gets even more angry if you’re nice.
But somehow, it seems that Cedric is very shy today.
Anyway, the most different words and actions I’ve ever seen him with.
I looked at the back of Cedric’s hands proudly for a moment, then stood up.
I covered all the windows with curtains and picked up a match.
As it was originally, it was dangerous, so the servant should have lit it, but it seems that he was surprised and left the match behind.
Ugh, just let me do it.
“Come on, I’ll light the candle. And I’ll sing you a happy birthday song.”
“……uh.”
A short reply came back through the gap of his hand.
I then explained.
“Then you can blow up all eight candles here at once with a phoo. No, no. If you blow it all at once, you’ll get out of breath, so just blow it out roughly. Then it’s over!”
I laughed softly.
Of course, this smile will not be visible to Cedric.
Before long, Cedric quietly asked, who had already shown his face, as I was lighting the candle.
“…does everyone else have a birthday like this?”
“It’s a bit hard to say, but usually when you say birthday, you think of a cake and a birthday song.”
Saying so, I blew out the used matches.
With a little regret inside.
‘Uhh, when I said earlier, I’m going to ask you to bring me some candles for the cake. These are just candles used to light a fire. Of course, it must be the thinnest among them.’
Of course, since the candle had already been lit, it was a useless regret.
I looked at the candle for a moment.
Eight candles were placed next to the cake.
It shook.
The only wind could be our thin breath, but the candle flickering in various directions.
