Chapter 24 - [24] Happy birthday

From the darkness, my vision began to slowly emerge. And by the time I fully opened my eyes again, I sat up and set aside my [Crown]."Master!" Enju sprouted out from my prosthetic arm in her holograph form."Ah." I responded hazily, rubbing my forehead."Do you remember what day is it today?" Enju said, with her hands swinging behind her back."Nope." I said, as I climbed out of my bed and walked over to the fridge.My head was still hazy from what just happened not long ago: fortress under siege, 1v1 against someone 5 times my level, and joining an evil sounding guild...Of course, I only agreed on one occasion. That is, Enju has to be allowed to join as well. Ivan agreed to that one without blinking an eye, actually I don't know about the blinking part, cause his face was hidden behind his helmet the whole time."Are you serious!?" Enju barked. "If you are, then Enju is going to be really mad at you!"(╬ Ò﹏Ó)A blue kaomoji replaced her model."Enju..." I said, reaching inside the fridge."Baka, baka! I am not listening!""I was just joking." I said, holding out a small plastic contained of cupcakes. "Happy birthday, Enju."Enju angry kaomoji shifted at once:(✧ω✧)"Master your the best!"Then for some random reason she shifted back into her figure form again in a grumpy posture this time:"Why did you trick me master? You knew it!""I was just joking with you." I grinned, then I took out a dozen candles from the drawer and the lighter. And proceeded to sticking one candle on each cupcake."Alright, here we go." I said, as I lighted each of the 12 candles."Waaa!!! All the cupcake looks so cute!" Enju clasped her hand in delight.I am not a fan of sweets, and knowing I have to all of them in a sec, made my teeth tremble a little. But either way, I didn't show it."Yes, yes, how about you make your wish now?" I said impatiently."3 wishes." Enju's model held up 3 fingers."Fine, 3 wishes whatever.""1st..." Enju thought about for a moment, then replied:"Enju wants to become a virtual idol!""Sure." I shrugged, not too surprised by her wish, considering back in my dad's childhood, virtual's idol already existed, a certain twin blue pony tail girl I recall..."2nd...Enju wants to travel to a parallel universe and find my twin copy!""Ok..." I reluctantly nodded, not knowing what to comment about that."3rd..." Enju's voice trailed off, as she thought long and hard on this one. So long in fact, that I was afraid that the candle wax drip into the cupcake. Which will give me a good excuse to not eat them of course..."Ah, I know now!""Yes, what is it?" I replied, as Enju's model leaned forward to me."One day..." Enju drifted closer to my face, to the point her arm was almost touching me. "I wish this dimension between us will be gone..."She touched my face, and I swore for that duration I held my breath."So we can be in Rom-Com anime together!"(⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)My lips thinned as I let out a deep sigh. Then with a big breath, I blew out all the candles."I wasn't done with my wish yet!" Enju complained."The wax is dripping already. Just be quiet and eat." I said, grabbing a cupcake and swallowing it in one bite."Hai..." Enju said with a bored tone, as she watched me eat. And sure enough, I had to eat all of them in the end. And by the time I crashed on my bed again, my stomach was the one who had the biggest quarrel with me. Well, looks like someone won't be having sweets for the next whole week..."Good night master." Enju said softly, as her figure lied down in nightgown."Good night." I replied, shutting off my eyes. Knowing that it will be a big day ahead of me tomorrow.Q: How do you spend your birthday parties?
