[2021.02.15] Otonoha Vol 208 - Birthday Thank Yous
I'm back with another Otonoha translation! Sho reveals more details about the messages and presents he received for his birthday.
Hello.
It’s me, who watched “The Advice for Jun” on VS Damashii and had a good laugh.
(… it’s got nothing to do with this person.)
It’s me, who exclaimed in astonishment as I watched Aiba-kun make macarons with ease the day after I had made a horrifying cake.
(…as usual, this person is watching TV.)
Thank you so much for the many messages (including the ones on SNS) which I received for my birthday last month.
It was rare to be appearing on a live broadcast for my birthday (although I think it has happened before), so I was a little embarrassed.
Rather than “my last year in my thirties”,
I think of this as a “run-up to my forties”,
so I intend to live each day in a fulfilling manner.
On the day of my birthday.
The moment the clock struck midnight, a message was sent to my family group chat.
Mother: Happy Birthday!
After that, my family members also followed up with messages.
I went to bed.
It was past noon on the 25th.
My mother once again sent a message to the family group chat.
“Hi everyone!
He hasn’t been born yet.
He was actually born on January 25th (1/25) at 1.25pm!”
And she actually attached my birth certificate in the message.
(Why is she able to produce such things straightaway?)
I’ve never heard of such a birthday message which was precise down to the very minute.
Incidentally, according to my birth certificate,
I was 3150g when I was born.
As I headed for Zero, I boarded the car.
I saw a humongous cardboard box which I’d never seen before.
What on earth is this…?
Manager-kun: This is a birthday present from Ueda-san.
Eh? Seriously?
Certainly, for the past few years.
I’ve received birthday presents on my birthday itself…
(Thank you, as always.)
The size of it!!!!!
It could barely fit into the car!!!!!
Before I checked the contents, I promptly sent a message to thank him.
I received a reply.
Ueda: I think the goods will be useful to Aniki.
G-goods…?
After Zero had finished, I went home and excitedly opened the huge cardboard box.
Me: This, this is…
I immediately contacted Ueda-kun.
I received a reply.
Ueda: It was because you muttered that you really wanted it during the recording the other day.
Alright.
Play the intro to Love So Sweet!
It was a mere utterance.
But he heard it and chose this present for me.
T/N: Fans speculated that Ueda bought the Crushbox from Joseph Joseph, which is a rubbish bin that can compact rubbish to a third of its size.
Of course I’d fall for him!!!
Or rather, I have fallen for him!!!
Or rather, I’ve always fallen for him!!!
Oh man.
It was a delightful surprise.
I was truly so happy.
With this and that, I received many congratulatory messages from various people.
Once again, thank you so much.
Well then.
It’s Zero tonight as well.
I’m off!
