I turned to the side when I suddenly heard the two boys jumping down from the chairs they're stepping on, concerned if they got down safely. Fortunately the two are unharmed. Keisuke dropped the remaining colorful wall cutouts on the floor, following it as he laid on his back. Manjiro did that as well, laying just beside him, and then the two of them synchronously let out a sigh.

"What are we doing this for again?" Manjiro asked with his eyes focused to the ceiling.

"For Niichan's birthday." Emma answered from beside me.

After knowing Shinichiro's birthday, I felt really guilty about missing it. Takeomi kept telling me to forget it but I just can't. So in the end I planned a super late celebration with the help of trustworthy people, basically these kids and his friends.

Currently we are now here inside Shinichiro's garage. I together with Emma, Manjiro and Keisuke are left here to organize the place while Takeomi and the others stayed with Shinichiro in his shop. I am really glad that all of them gladly participated in this silly plan of mine. It is true that I can just wait for his next birthday but I can't forget about it.

"I really thought Neechan's here to play with us." Manjiro breathed out. I looked at him but his eyes are only focused upwards.

"Yeah, me too..." Keisuke agreed, nodding his head. "Shinichiro-kun's birthday isn't yet until months from now." He added, also still looking up at the ceiling.

I opened my lips to answer and explain the situation to them, again, but Emma beat me to it. She let out a sigh and then put down the cutouts she's holding on the table in front of us.

"I won't even waste my time to explain it to you both so just get up and finish hanging those up before Niichan comes home!" Emma told the two boys, her hands resting on her hips while she looks down at them.

Manjiro let out a groan and sat up, a heavy sigh leaving his lips. "Mikey, pull me up." Keisuke said, asking for Manjiro's hands. He helped his friend and they both groaned as they stood up and start hanging up the wall cutouts again.

"I'm sorry, I dragged you guys into this." I said, looking at the two boys with a small smile.

Keisuke jolt up at what I said and then turned to my direction. "No no no, it's fine (Y/N)-san!" He said while shaking his head. "In exchange! Play with us after this!" He added, anticipation evident in his eyes.

I beamed at him and nod my head. "Of course!"

"You promise?" Manjiro asked from behind Keisuke, the same anticipation showing in his eyes. I nod my head again and even showed them my pinky finger.
