Weeks later, a small shared birthday party was being held at Kai's mansion, celebrating the birthdays of the three little ones, Nejire, Momo, and Kai. After all, they all had birthdays around the same time, so they decided to have a party for the three of them.
"Kai! Have you finished packing the gifts?"
Nemuri's voice could be heard from the entrance of Kai's forge/jewelry workshop, where he was finishing wrapping two small chests. He was wearing a black shirt, dark blue jeans, and a leather belt and shoes.
For her part, Nemuri was wearing a beautiful, tight black dress that reached her knees and had an elegant neckline, showcasing her voluptuous figure. This, combined with her symmetrical and stylized facial features and her elegant glasses, made her look sensual without losing elegance.
"I'm done."
Quickly, Kai finished wrapping the small chests, then picked up two elongated gift-wrapped boxes beside him, and hurried out of the workshop while responding loudly. This only brought a playful smile to Nemuri's face as she accompanied him to the main house.
After a while, two high-end cars arrived at the property. From them emerged two women of divine beauty, holding the hands of two adorable little girls who looked like miniature versions of the beautiful women.
From the car on the left stepped out a woman with refined and sophisticated beauty, long black hair, and expressive eyes reflecting wisdom and power behind her elegant glasses. She wore an elegant red dress that highlighted her stunning figure, while the girl next to her wore a pastel-colored summer dress, with her hair styled in two pigtails held with ribbons matching the dress's color.
From the car on the right emerged a stunning beauty who looked unusually young for her age, with large sky-blue eyes, silky hair of the same color, and a voluptuous figure that rivaled the other women present. She stood out in her black pants and turquoise blouse with a significant neckline. Meanwhile, the little girl following her wore a simple yet elegant white dress, evidently high fashion, which highlighted her energetic expression and hair and eyes of the same color as her mother's.
Noticing the arrival of the visitors, Nemuri and Kai went to the door to greet them warmly. But suddenly, a wild pair of stylish arms grabbed the little blue-eyed boy and lifted him into the air.
"How can my little Kai-chan be so handsome?" Yumiko commented cheerfully after giving the boy in her arms an energetic kiss on the cheek.
"You look great too, Auntie Yumiko." Used to this treatment, Kai simply replied with a smile, making Yumiko beam with delight.
"Happy birthday, dear."
"Thanks, Auntie."
After congratulating him, Yumiko quickly noticed the particular gleam in Keiko's eyes, so with an amused smile, she handed the boy to the woman who struggled to express her feelings properly.
"Happy birthday, Kai. Auntie brought you something you're really going to like." With a small smile, Keiko congratulated the boy in her arms.
"Thank you, Auntie, but you didn't have to bring anything."
"Fufu, how could I not bring something for my little Kai?"
After a brief conversation, Keiko finally let the boy go and then joined Yumiko and Nemuri while Kai started a small conversation with the little girls.
"Happy birthday, Momo-chan, Nejire nee-chan."
"Happy birthday, Kai-kun/chan," the two adorable girls responded cheerfully, holding the blue-eyed boy's hands.
"Nejire nee-chan, that dress looks great on you! Is it new?" Momo, noticing Nejire's elegant dress, couldn't help but comment while hugging Kai's arm.
"Thanks, Momo! And yes, my mom made it especially for this party. And your dress is also very pretty, Momo." Nejire responded energetically, hugging Kai's other arm tightly.
"Hehe, thank you."
Momo replied somewhat shyly, but after a silent conversation through looks, the two adorable girls turned to Kai and asked simultaneously.
"What do you think of our dresses, Kai-chan/kun?"
"You both look great," Kai replied automatically, without a second's hesitation. After all, years of training had to be useful for something.
"Hehehe," they both giggled shyly.
"Shall we go in?"
"Yes!!!"
The children headed inside the house, so the mothers and Nemuri decided to follow shortly after. Inside, despite all the party decorations, they found the three kids sitting around a video game console that Kai had set up, laughing and shouting at each other.
"How is that different from what they do every time they get together? Hehe," Yumiko commented, amused upon seeing the children, who didn't seem like they were at a party, to which Keiko responded with a small smile.
"Yes, you're right, but I'm really glad to see Momo so free and happy at times like this. It was really a difficult time for her before meeting Alisa-san; she helped me a lot."
"Haha, you're right. She's much more lively now than when I first met her," Nemuri added, somewhat proud of the positive influence Alisa had on those around her.
"By the way, Nemuri-san, do you plan to enroll Kai in primary school? After all, Alisa-san refused to enroll him in preschool," Yumiko asked curiously, to which Nemuri responded while shaking her head.
"I thought about it, but I think it's better to follow Alisa-san's ideology and give him a home education, at least in primary school. We'll see about secondary school."
"I'm planning to do the same with Momo," Keiko added, nodding in agreement, to which Yumiko added while bringing a finger to her lips.
"Is that so? I, however, enrolled Nejire in primary school so that she could socialize more. Although she's a whirlwind of excitement at home, she's surprisingly unsociable and quiet outside."
While the women were chatting amicably, a large van arrived at the property. The Pussycats, dressed in civilian clothes, got out, carrying a pile of gifts and what appeared to be a pet cage, as Nemuri went out to greet them.
"Hello, guys, it's a pleasure you could come."
"Hehe, we wouldn't miss little Kai's birthday for anything in the world," Tomoko commented energetically, raising her arms to the sky, to which Shino added with a small smile.
"Tomoko is right, there was no way we could miss it, fufu."
"And where's my future husband?" Ryuko quickly asked with a smile on her face, looking around, causing Nemuri to respond in a gruff tone.
"Stop that. Kai is off-limits, and he is playing with Momo and Nejire."
"Fufufu, you can't fight pure love, Nemuri."
"Hmph, you're nothing but a shotacon. Be careful, or I might report you," Nemuri replied, crossing her arms under her voluptuous chest, making Ryuko jump and immediately respond defensively.
"Hey!! I'm not a shotacon, I was just captivated by his future potential."
"Yeah, sure, tell that to the officer."
While Ryuko and Nemuri had their, now, typical argument, the rest of the Pussycats headed inside the house. After a cordial greeting, Tomoko darted over to Kai's small group and started playing video games with the kids as if she were one of them.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Yumiko-san, Keiko-san."
"It's truly a pleasure."
Chatora and Shino respectfully greeted the beautiful women who were drinking tea at a table near the children, who responded elegantly.
"The pleasure is ours as well, Shino-san, Chatora-san."
"Please sit, let's chat for a while."
After a while, Nemuri and Ryuko tired of arguing and joined the group drinking tea. After some time, the party finally began, with a birthday song, congratulations, and the inevitable gift exchange.
Kai was the first to start the gift-giving, taking two small chests in his hands and presenting them to the excited little girls, who looked at him with bright eyes.
"Momo-chan, Nejire nee-chan, this is something I made for you."
"Thank you so much, Kai-kun/chan."
Momo proceeded to open the package slowly and carefully, while Nejire, on the other hand, tore the wrapping apart. Both girls found a beautifully carved wooden chest with different patterns.
Opening the small chest, Nejire found a thin, elegant silver necklace with a spiral pattern, adorned with three beautiful blue diamonds, giving it a sober and minimalist charm.
Delighted with her gift, Nejire ran off with a huge smile on her face and demanded loudly from Kai.
"Thank you, Kai, it's so pretty! Put it on me, put it on me!"
Amused by Nejire's high energy, Kai quickly put the necklace on the adorable blue-haired girl, who then ran to her mother and began posing in front of the adults present.
"How do I look? Great, right? Kai made it just for me."
"Yes, you look gorgeous, darling. Mommy is jealous," Yumiko commented amused upon seeing the smiling Nejire, which made the little girl even happier.
"Hehehehe."
Meanwhile, Momo found a beautiful bracelet with a chain pattern adorned with three small but lovely black diamonds in her small chest. Then She quickly ran happily to Kai and hugged him.
"Thank you, Kai-kun, it's beautiful, I love it. Please put it on me."
"Of course, Momo."
Kai quickly put it on Momo, who, imitating Nejire, walked calmly to her mother to show it to her.
"Mom, look at the beautiful bracelet Kai-kun made for me."
"It's breathtaking. Make sure to take good care of it."
"I will, it's my treasure, hehe." Momo replied happily as she took the bracelet with her other hand and brought her arms to her chest.
"Well, I guess it's time for the second gift."
"There's more?!!!"
At Kai's comment, Nejire burst with new excitement and ran with bright eyes in front of Kai, who handed her an elongated box wrapped in gift paper, which Nejire quickly tore apart.
