It's so delicious!

And the pound cake, too!

I'll start my diet tomorrow.

Which patissier made this?

Mina-cchi home-made.

Is that true, Minato-san?

Yes.

What a pity.

I would've liked to scout this chef for our kitchen.

I just felt like making one and cooked an easy one up.

I need to begin preparing for next week soon.

Next week?

Something coming up?

Niisan's birthday.

It's been a while since I baked a cake,

so I wanted to get the feeling back.

I see.

Next week already...

A life event for Jun-kun!

Mitsuki-chan, that's not quite it.

What should I get him?

We should throw a party for him.

I shall get people to arrange for a birthday party.

Let's see, perhaps, guests at a thousand.

My villa in Monaco should-

You do not need to do that.

Just leave Junichi's birthday alone.

My... Yuuhi-san, you don't want to celebrate his birthday?

I have no interest in that.

Oh, oh, look at you, Hime.

You're not being straight with your feelings.

Indeed.

Wh-What are you talking about? This is my true voice, my true feelings!

Trouble! We have trouble!

People, we have trouble!

My... My...

My Junichi's...

Upon realizing it, I tried my best

Kigatsuite seiippai

それを実現して、私はベストを尽くした

To sincerely say I love you

Kokoro kara say love you

誠実に私があなたを愛していると言う

The sky suddenly makes me timid

I don't want that!

Where is it going? I'm being blown away

Wh- Wh- Wh-

What the hell is this?!

Best Amitié?!

Why are we...

And I thought it was something big...

I can't believe Junichi is number one with Yuuhi-san.

That just shows how much attention you two drew at the cultural festival.

Be happy.

"You two"?

Do you mean Junichi and me when you say "you two"?

I bet.

Who else could it be?

Why do I have to be grouped with the likes of Junichi?

Sorry for being "the likes of me"!

Yes, be sorry!

Now, now, both of you.

They're close enough to be fighting with each other.

That's not how it is!

That's the photo I took.

Great work, Tsukasa-san.

Even that second place photo?

Second place?

Just second place, eh?

Why is that photo...

Wait, what's with the two-shot?

My Junichi!

What do you mean, "my" Junichi?!

I didn't think you'd be my rival.

I will not give Junichi away to anybody!

I swear I will have you dead!

It's so not my fault, you know?!

Those two are so close.

Indeed.

Such a fit for being Best Amitié.

It's very easy to be cheering for those two.

I'm very happy, too.

The worst, most awful thing.

Why did I end up in a photo with Junichi, of all people?

Niisan and Yuuhi-san were like a best couple!

Not you, too, Minato!

But you're really happy to have been awarded with him, right?

If it were not with Junichi, yes.

I mean it!

I know.

Yuuhi-san, you have no interest in Niisan, right?

That is correct!

Oh no...

No, it's nothing.

I'll take care of this myself.

What is the matter?

What are you talking about?

It's okay, don't worry about it.

After hearing you say that,

I have to care!

Will you hear out what I have to say?

Of course, tell me anything you want to.

Anything?

I swear.

The oath of the finger, punishable by 10,000 punches.

Actually, it's about Niisan's birthday party.

Eh?!

That matter?

I'd like to plan a secret party for Niisan.

You will help me, right, Yuuhi-san?

But, I said I was not interested in it-

The oath of the finger, punishable by 10,000 punches, was it?

I knew I could count on you, Yuuhi-san.

I'm so glad I put it all on the table.

O-Okay, all right...

It goes against my will to make Junichi happy,

but this is a favor for you, Minato.

Thank you!

Well, since we are doing it, let us make it an enjoyable one.

That's right.

As for the party menu, we'll do this and this.

And I thought I'd make a special shortcake that fits Niisan's tastes.

What are these notes?

These are memos for all the trials and errors made during Niisan's birthday party last year.

I really want to bake a cake that Niisan would find perfect.

Wow, all of this?

And now the recipe for the cake is perfect.

That is quite amazing.

It is like you know everything about Junichi, Minato.

Oh no, I just wanted Niisan to be able to enjoy it as much as he can.

And, where do you need my help?

Yuuhi-san, you will handle the main event.

Main?

I need you to get him a present.

That is... quite a big responsibility, no?

Yes, that's why I would like you to pick a present since you have very good taste, Yuuhi-san.

Y-Yes... Taste is important, right?

Count on me.

Please keep this a secret from Niisan, okay, Yuuhi-san?

Okay.

I will guard this secret.

H-Help me...

Papa, you haven't forgotten, have you?

What is it, Mama?

Tomorrow's Junichi's birthday.

I completely forgot!

Is... Is that store still open?!

A birthday present that "he" would like... the first place to look is...

What are you reading?

No, this is not... well, you know...

Present special feature?

Didn't you say that you wouldn't celebrate Nagase-san's birthday?

Minato asked me this favor.

Hey, Ayanokouji-san.

Could you tell me?

I am troubled because I do not have a clue what kind of present to buy him!

Very well.

Now that you have asked for my help,

I, Ayanokouji Karen, shall provide you with my assistance!

Now, with these catalogues, we'll have all the famous brands at our fingertips!

Let us choose diligently among these.

You did not have to do this much...

No, this is nothing special for me.

Please, don't hold yourself back.

Thank you, Ayanokouji-san.

So... what do boys want?

I don't know...

Hey, what about this wristwatch?

A vintage wristwatch lacks a bit on the premium aspect.

Let's ask a Quartz Meister in Switzerland to make one now.

Will it not be too late for next week?

I shall make it ready with all my abilities.

In the name of the Ayanokouji.

Like I said, you do not have to do that much...

Is there anything else he might be happy with?

Then, let us forget the wristwatch and go with a cruiser?

When my cousin received one for his birthday, he was very delighted.

Ah, I received one from Papa when I was in elementary school.

No, I mean, I received a plush doll!

It was named "Cruiser".

Truly, what a strange name?

Right, right?

There are others like mansions, sports cars, thoroughbreds, etc. that serve as great presents.

You can buy those from a catalogue?

If it's a thoroughbred, I can get to relinquish a fine blooded foal from Ayanokouji Farm right away.

Ayanokouji Farm?

A ranch we manage.

There's a romance behind the lineage of horses.

It is a historical hobby passed down from British nobility.

Junichi on a horse, huh?

No, he will become the owner of the horse!

It will be called Nagase Geno Killer and will sweep all the races in G1!

Would something more realistic not be more practical?

Like, something more for high school students...

If the budget were the one of a normal high school student, you could only buy a small pony.

Why must I worry so much for Junichi's sake?!

That's what giving a present is all about.

Why am I worrying so much?

I could just buy something and be done with it.

The more you care about this person, the more you want to make him happy.

I... I do not think of Junichi like that...

Isn't it better if you don't insist on being so stubborn?

What do you mean by that?

You were the Best Amitié-

Cut that out already!

It appears saying anything to you right now is useless, Yuuhi-san.

Like I said, Junichi and I are not-

Sure, sure, I get it already.

What's that supposed to mean?!

Don't you have a hint or something?

A hint about something Nagase-san would like.

How would I know...

If only we could ask him directly...

...but we can't do that either.

I have a great idea!

If we don't know, then we'll just have to research it!

Let us ask a detective and have him look into it.

They can even find that out?!

For their interviews, they would pretend to do a telephone survey or something.

And then, things like searching through personal areas to see if what is missing is something feasible, too.

Searching through personal areas?

I snuck in...

I need to hurry before Junichi gets back.

He is so untidy!

So Junichi likes this kind of stuff.

He is still very much a kid.

How revolting!

Oh well...

Nothing but Western music.

I am sure he does not even understand English.

And there are so many "best" albums.

Yeah, he is just pretending.

How many game systems does he have?

Are they not all the same thing?

Bishoujo, disgusting! Bishoujo, disgusting!

Disgusting...

"Secret Hideout" it says...

Oh, my stomach hurts!

Junichi, you're... Junichi, you're...

Oh, he has a nice wristwatch.

Hmm, metallic stuff.

He has everything he needs.

I doubt there is something he wants.

What are those?

No!

That was shocking! That was shocking!

Calm down, me.

Things like this are to be expected.

Junichi is not a kid anymore.

I shall pretend I never saw it.

"A rather daring but rather sweet cream pie."

"Stop licking already and eat me."

I am not sure I understand this.

Their work appears to be tough...

That's so not the right pose, don't you think?

Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-

That's Niisan's favorite.

I'm impressed you found it, Yuuhi-san.

No, no, I am not...

Don't be deceived; Niisan really likes blondes with big breasts.

Isn't that cute?

A-A big breast lover is cute?

I cannot understand this anymore.

By the way, that was the one meant to be found,

and this is his true hidden collection.

Since when did...

"Forbidden Private Lesson"...

"Photo Bonanza of Horny Faces - Hidden Side"...

Ah, there's more than last time!

Did Niisan change his fetishes or something?

Would you like to take a look, too, Yuuhi-san?

Just... Just a bit...

"Extreme Screaming Academy"?

Ah, that section is more for advanced readers.

R-Really?

You are so well-read regarding this, Minato.

Oh, I'm used to this.

I always clean his room.

Ah, I recommend you look at this section for beginners.

Okay, then just a bit...

Yuuhi-san, you're so cute.

But... But...

Well, just pretend you never saw a lot of things here, Yuuhi-san.

I thought I would have a better idea of what Junichi would like by peeking in his room,

but I am far from a decision.

Oh, so that's what this was for.

It just seems like Junichi has everything.

I feel that there is nothing he wants.

Hey, Minato, could you give me a hint for a birthday present?

Hmm, let's see...

I have done a lot of thinking, but I am short of both time and ideas.

Oh, I know!

How about you bake the birthday cake, Yuuhi-san?

Me?!

Don't worry, I have a recipe.

But, is that not the recipe you came up with after many hardships?

It's okay. If it can be of help to you, please, go ahead and use it, Yuuhi-san.

But...

I'm sure Niisan would be very glad.

'Morning.

Good morning!

Niisan, you are forbidden to enter the house for three hours!

And do not ask why!

It's really obvious though.

Do your best, Yuuhi-san!

Will I really be able to?

Yes, you can, Yuuhi-san.

What the...

Just feel it with your heart.

I wonder what Junichi will call me when I fail.

Just thinking about that gives me goosebumps.

Sweet things are very straight.

Make them very diligently from the heart and it'll come out tasting great.

Even at my level?

Even with this recipe?

The feeling is what's most important.

Feeling...

Okay, I will try my best.

Three hours...

...Friggin' long!!!

Hanging out by myself was hard...

Surprise!

Happy birthday!

Whoa, what the... geez...

Surprised, Jun-kun?

A few times over, yeah.

Awesome, it's a great success!

A rather rare mature response from you, Junichi.

It is my birthday.

It looks tasteless.

I put my heart into it...

Nagase-san, your package has arrived.

It's huge!

It's a present from Papa and Mama.

Hmm, they remembered.

Happy Birthday, Geno Killer.

Niisan, isn't this wonderful?

It fits perfectly inside your room!

You don't need to comfort me.

Ah, there was one more present.

This one must be the real thing, I'm sure!

An opal!

"Never mind Junichi, here's a present for Minato."

DON'T "NEVER MIND" ME!!

"Minato gets a present, too. From Papa", he says!

Wow, I'm so happy!

This was Minato's?

And this one's more precious!

I'm the idiot to have had any expectations, I guess...

There, there, don't be so down.

Huh? And you are?

I am a present, as well.

Cook me, roast me, do as you wish.

It was you, Nago-nago.

We couldn't tell at all.

My present to you is ready for you outside.

Outside?!

What is this?!

This is followed by congratulatory messages for Nagase Junichi from famous people around...

...through a live satellite broadcast-

I DON'T NEED THAT!

Sheesh...

Oh, it's the cake.

Junichi?!

Digging in!

Hey, do not just...

H-How is it?

Say something already!

Ah, I want some cake, too.

Digging in!

It's hard to chew on.

Yes, it's quite a hard cake.

It tastes quite creepy.

Enough, Junichi.

You do not need to force yourself to eat it.

Forgive me for not being able to bake it as well as Minato.

If it tastes bad, then just say so at the very beginning!

It's delicious.

Liar!

Everyone's-

You made it for me, Yuuhi.

So, it's delicious.

Thanks.

Thanks for the meal.

You're welcome.

The mood is good between those two.

Yeah.

Thank you.

It's all thanks to your recipe, Minato.

No, it's because you tried hard, Yuuhi-san.

Good job today.

Now I am hungry after this feeling of relief.

I did not get to eat anything since I was so busy with baking the cake.

I saved your portion in the kitchen for you, Yuuhi-san.

Please go ahead.

Thank you, Minato, you are the best!

Minato, your cakes are the best!

Why...

Why am I not smiling?

This kind of feeling...

...is a first for me...

Yes, Mama, I am well.

How about you?

I know.

Sorry, let me think about it a bit more.

Yes.

Yes.

I will make up my mind properly.
