Thank you all!
As Eldrid’s birthday sadly comes to an end, I’d like to extend my gratitude to everyone who helped to wish her a happy birthday. Tune in next month as we wish a certain bartender a happy birthday as well.
If I can remember it.
-
Eldrid is shown standing while stretching her arms and body. She notices the camera and ceases it.
"You know, this may come as a surprise, but I don't really go out of my way to celebrate birthdays. I mean, typically, all they do is just remind you that your days are numbered. I know that sounds a little cynical, but considering no one besides my brothers bothered to celebrate my birthday before, you can't really blame me."
"...But having people I never met not only wish me 'many more', but also send me gifts... well, it's a little surprising. So... yeah, this birthday wasn't bad at all. I thoroughly enjoyed it. So... thanks to everyone."
The MMA then exhales as she twists her body around.
"Well, I've got a big day tomorrow. So, I'm heading out. Peace."
She turns, throws up a 'peace' sign, and walks out.

The day was coming to an end, but the celebration for one 'Kanra Akemi' wasn't over yet. The doorbell to her residence rang out for perhaps the millionth time today, signaling that someone was here to wish her a 'happy birthday' or drop something off. ...Or perhaps all three. The matriarch of the household, Yuriko Kuromiya, looked out the door and sighed at what was in front of her.
"Kanra!" She called, making the birthday girl appear in front of her. Without a word, the mother pointed to a bunch of boxes and bags placed in front of the doorway.
"Yay, more presents!" Kanra exclaimed, as she easily picked up everything and brought them all into the living room. Without a word, she began opening up the tallest of the group first. Inside was a pair of boxing equipment, no doubt sent by a certain MMA fighter from Taitō. Pulling it out, it looked somewhat like the type that Yuriko had in her gym when she made her and Kaoru practice. Although this equipment was in much better shape.
Pulling it out, she found a letter taped onto the bag.
Happy birthday, kiddo! Hope you're having a good one! I would have been there in person, but MMA schedules can be a pain sometimes. Anyway, I bought this boxing equipment for you so you can practice on your own on days when we don't train together. And don't worry if you bust the bag or something. It's insured, so if you break it, it can easily be replaced. So go nuts, girl! Again, hope you're having a good one! See you next time for practice!
Your trainer,
Eldrid Iwasaki
P.S. Don't forget those music discs at the bottom of the box. One of them is from Azusa and the other's from Fleuret. I'm sure you can guess which is from who.
Looking back in the box, Kanra saw two CDs at the bottom: one for meditation and the other full of classical songs.
"These are interesting," Yuriko said, looking at the discs, mainly the one on meditation. "I'll have be to sure to use this one for after training."
Kanra was too busy looking at the boxing gloves and heavy bag to respond, eager to try them out. She made a mental note not to go too crazy with them since they were a gift from her trainer. Putting them to the side, she turned to her other gifts. Opening one of her boxes, she looked as it contained a bunch of dresses, all of which fit her aesthetic. Pulling them all out, she found three more items: a makeup kit, which looked to be quite expensive, an American rock CD, and a cake covered with dozens of fruits. It was covered with thin wrapping to prevent any of the cream from getting off of it onto the outfits.
On top of one of the dresses, was another letter from a certain American model, which read:
Happy birthday, Kanra! Hope you are, like, having a good one! I went clothes shopping in Harajuku the other day and I, like, saw these outfits which automatically made me think of you. Thankfully, it was your birthday, which gave me, like, an excuse to buy them. I managed to get Acey and Rashaad to get you some gifts too. Rashaad was easy to convince, but Acey... let's just say he can be, like, verrrry stubborn! But he managed to get you something, at least! Hope you are having a good one! Make sure you try those outfits out! They weren't, like, cheap! Luv you!
Signed,
Evelyn Rose
P.S. Make sure you share that makeup kit with, like, your sister. After seeing the rings in her eyes once, Heaven knows she, like, needs it!

“They aren’t that bad are they?” Kaoru questioned touching her face. 
“I don't know Kaoru when was the last time you slept?” 
“Uhhhh…. Thursday?”
“Kaoru that was six days ago” Yuriko admonished 
“Evelyn-san was right you do need this.” Kanra opened the makeup kit walking forward to the lavender-haired inventor intending on covering the dark circle on Kaoru's face. 
“Oi Kanra! Yuriko stop her!” Kaoru begged running from the pink-haired teen who began chasing after her. 
“Hmmm? I could've sworn I heard someone say something.”
“Betrayed and abandoned by my own mother!”
“We wouldn't have to do this if you go more sleep Kaoru!”

The doorbell to the Iwasaki household is heard, plus a knock on their front door. Elders rising from her spot goes to answer it. Opening it, she finds no one is there. However, looking down she spots something on her doorstep.
Two boxes were laid on the floor, each with “To Eldrid Iwasaki” on them. Seeing they were for her, the MMA champ easily picked both boxes up and carried them inside her apartment, and placed them on the kitchen counter. Deciding to open the bigger box first, Eldrid’s eyes grew wide at what was inside. 
Tumblr media
Inside the box was a tiered cake that had a Norse theme to it. From the raven, a reference to Huginn and Muninn, Odin’s birds, to the grey Norse runes around the cake, and even the grey wings on top a reference to Eldrid’s MC name, Valkyrie. Seeing there was no note or anything to the cake Eldrid turned her attention to the second box. 
Tumblr media
Inside the second box was a grand burgundy cloak with cream-colored fur lining the edge of it. Pinning the cloak together was a metal clasp one that took the form of silver crossed swords. The symbol of Taitō’s Blade Maiden. Lifting it up Eldrid couldn't help but let out a whistle at the handiwork. Noticing that a card was underneath the gift Eldrid picked it up and began to read.
"Dear Eldrid-san,
Happy Birthday! Sorry, I wasn't able to drop this off in person but I got grounded after Yuriko-san had to bail me out of jail again. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the gifts I got you. The cake is made out of rum. It's surprisingly easy to get alcohol if you know the right people. Several of them owed me a favor.  The cloak however is actually my handiwork and I'm especially proud of it. It's too hot to wear it considering it's still summer but that's not actually why I made it. It's actually for you to wear during your matches as you walk down to the ring. So whenever your opponent sees you they're reminded of the Viking chiefs of old. So I hope you can wear it with pride Eldrid-san! Have a nice rest of your birthday and see you next training session!
From
Kanra Akemi"
Eldrid found it hard to contain the grin on her face as she read her student's letter. Normally, she'd be pissed at whoever broke her meditation, but seeing the gifts that were presented, she quickly got over it. Slipping the hooded cloak on, Eldrid found it hard to contain the smirk on her face as she imagined herself wearing this to the ring, giving her a badass look. The fact that it had Blade Maiden's logo on the back only cemented how cool it was.
"Oh yeah, I'm definitely wearing this at my next title defense," Eldrid said as she slipped it off and made sure to gently hang it up in her closet to take to the gym tomorrow. Her attention then turned to the cake her student made for her.
"And as for you..." Eldrid said, already getting a plate from her cabinet. "...I think you and that sake I got earlier today will go together nicely." Cutting a piece out of the cake and getting the now-cold sake out of the fridge, Eldrid took a bite out of the treat and nodded, pleased with the taste. She owed the kiddo big time for this.

When eldrid open the door look a red haired that smiles her,she know him,is a friend of Fleuret,Natsume Kurome with a
"hello viking queen"Natsume said with a smile and gives Eldrid the box he was carryng-"Fleuret told me that today is your birthday and me and my team we wanted to give you some gift"-
With curiosity Eldrid open the box and see
Natsume's gift is a painting of a viking shipp in the Night with a boreal aurora
Kunio's gift is wooden viking shield ,a old theater props
And Aoba gift is a bracelet with engraved nordic runes
Natsume looks happy while Eldrid see the gift
"i'm sorry Eldrid San but i have to go,Aoba asked me for help with something in the library,bye"-
And with those words the descendent of le count Saint Germain walked to the train station
Opening the door, Eldrid's eyebrow rose as she was met with a red-haired young man whose looks could pass as a woman. Introducing himself as Natsume Kurome, Eldrid's mouth opened as she realized.
"Oh yeah, you're a friend of Goldie's, right?" She asked, though she knew the answer. Looking as the guy handed her a large box, she thanked him as he departed. Walking inside, she set the box on her bed in her room and looked inside at all that was displayed, making her eye open widely.
She looked at the painting of the Viking ship and recognized it as a longship, which was typically what the Vikings used for naval battles. She wasn't really into paintings much, but this one, she had to admit, looked nice. Setting it above her bed, she nodded, figuring that was a good place for it.
Looking at the shield, Eldrid could instantly tell it was fake, but the gesture was still nice. She remembered that her drunken father had a huge collection of vintage Viking tools when she was little. But that bastard kept selling them off to feed his alcohol addiction. And the prices he sold them weren't anywhere near as much as they actually cost. When he sold off that Viking sword that she liked to play with, that's when she started despising the old man. Shaking her head so as not to dwell on those negative thoughts, the MMA fighter placed the shield on another wall in her room, hanging it proudly.
Looking at the last gift, Eldrid smiled as she placed the bracelet on her left wrist. Though she didn't know what the symbols meant, she felt a bit more pride in herself as she looked at it. Nodding, she made a mental note to repay those guys the next chance she got.

Among the mountain of presents delivered to her birthday, somehow a certain simple but peculiar package wrapping in the neat piece of cloth has caught her eye.
Tumblr media
With a letter attached between the folds of cloth, the renowned MMA fighter and descendant of Viking warriors picks it up and give it some read;
“Hello Iwasaki-san and greetings Taito Division. This letter is from Nara Division and recently this season has become my turn to deliver our birthday blessings on account of the rest of my team www. 
Unfortunately, I still have classes and a work shift today so I can’t deliver them in person, but if you’re reading this, then I guess our presents are safely sent to your home. Now, let me introduce what we’ve chosen as your birthday gifts.
I’ll go with Hi-chan’s first!
Tumblr media
He made you the Hourai manju. If I remember correctly, they’re believed to bring happiness and are quite the good picks for the celebration …and also the wedding —That may be why he wants to send both of you some little gifts since we’re a bit late in knowing your good news with Kirumi-san (Well, congratulations again to your wedding!). Maybe we should enjoy life like enjoy these manju; looking plain from the outside, some of us may never expect to find a lot of small colorful manju packed inside unless you want to savor them. 
And next one is Saigo-san’s Narazake. 
Well, it would be a lie if I say I’m not biased to anything related to my hometown (I also don’t know much about liquor btw). Still, I want to insist that the sake from our hometown is the top-graded one! Granted that they are chosen by that picky old man of all people.
And we’ve come to the last;
Japan’s summer has always felt a bit overbearing as of late. Also, at this time around, heat stroke has become rather popular in not a good way. So, it makes me think maybe I should send something that can help beat these crazy heatwaves… 
Tumblr media
Hanging around your neck, it’s a portable neck fan; light, rechargeable, and doesn’t contain any blades inside! It has no need to be worried of getting your hairs caught up in the device as well.
Lastly; Happy Birthday, Stay hydrated, and please don’t do too much work-out during the death heat of the day.
—Hope you and your team have a great (and safe) summer
Yuuya Kanata”
Looking at the box wrapped in the red cloth, the MMA fighter cocked an eyebrow as she held the box in one hand and read the letter attached to it in the other. Blinking with her one good eye, she shrugged as she opened the package and looked at the manjū. Biting into one of them, her mouth experienced many different flavors, some good and some... out there. It wasn't bad, but she didn't know if she could eat these things on a daily basis. Shrugging, Eldrid finished it off and left the remaining one for her wife, Kirumi when she returned home.
Looking at the next gift, Eldrid smiled at the sake bottles. Ever since she had married Kirumi, she tried to control her drinking to only three or four times a week. She would just count this as one of those days.
"I'll save you three for later tonight," Eldrid said, putting the bottles in her fridge.
Looking at the other gift, Eldrid's eyes grew as looked at the neck fan. She had been wanting to buy one of these for the longest ever since Summer started but had never found time or had been putting it off. Placing the device around her neck, she turned it on and felt a blast of cold air hit her, making her smile.
"Better break this thing in now while I can." She said as she headed to her room, coming out three minutes later in her jogging outfit. "Yuma, I'm going for a run. Call me if you need something."
With that, the MMA fighter opened the door and started off down the street until she was out of sight. Today was shaping up to be a good birthday.
Thanks for the gift!

ARB Birthday Special: Eldrid Iwasaki
Tumblr media
~~ July 5th ~~
"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger."
Login Lines:
*Sighs* "Well, time for another day of training. Hope the gym is rea... wait... what do you mean, I'm not allowed to enter the gym today?! I got work to do! An important match is coming up! ...What? Today is a special day for me? What the hell are you talking about?"
"My... birthday? ...Oh yeah. That is today, ain't it? But that's no excuse for keeping me out of the gym! I've got training to do! ...Alright, alright! Fine, I'll skip today! But you lot better not pull this crap tomorrow!"
Voice Lines:
"Man... I can't believe it's my birthday today. I wonder why my brothers didn't tell me... But I guess the fact Yuma woke up before me and cooked breakfast should have been a hint. ...Look, don't judge me, okay?! I've never really had a good reason to celebrate my birthday! To me, it's just another day. ...But I guess the people of Taitō think differently."
"Man, I've had so many people and fans cheering and wishing me a 'Happy birthday'. I'll admit, it's kind of a good feeling. I used to think birthdays were just nature's way of telling you that your time is winding up. But I guess that's a bit depressing of me. Maybe I should start taking Azusa and Goldie's advice and start thinking more positively."
"My older brothers called and wished me a 'happy birthday', which was nice of them. They, unfortunately, couldn't come to visit, but I understood. Just knowing they were thinking of me is enough."
"Thanks, Azusa. That means a lot, though I would have appreciated you telling me that today was my birthday. You know you have a better handle on those sorts of things than I do. ...Yeah, I got it. I'll work on it. ...A gift? Come on, you didn't have to do that. ...A CD for meditation? Yeah, I've been trying to do it every day. ...Thanks, Azusa. I'll definitely put this to use. I promise."
"Thanks, Goldie. It's appreciated. ...Look, if you start that whole 'honor' talk on my birthday, I'm going to hurt you. I get it from you every other day, so let's just skip it for today, okay? ...Yeah, whatever. You got a gift for me, or are you just here to shoot the breeze? ...The Complete History of Vikings? ...Wow. Okay, I'll admit. I didn't expect this from you, Goldie. Thanks. ...Yeah, yeah. Don't let it go to your head."
Azusa Lines:
"Happy birthday, Eldrid-san. I am glad to see you have persevered another year. ...My apologies, but typically, one should know the day of their own birth. But I will endeavor to work on reminding you. With that out of the way, here is a gift for you. A few days ago, you mentioned that you've been having some issues meditating, so I thought this CD would help you. It should do well in calming your mind and spirit. ...You are welcome, Eldrid-san. I hope and pray that it will aid you. And again, happy birthday."
Fleuret Lines:
"A very blessed happy birthday to you, Eldrid-san! I must say it is truly an honor and privilege for you to have made it another year on Earth. ...Hmph, well excuse me for trying to be nice. But fine. Only because it is your birthday, I shall not speak of the benefits of honor to you, though my soul grieves for this. ...Yes, I do have a gift for you, my ill-tempered friend."
"Here. You once stated that though your family ascends from Vikings, you don't know much about them. Therefore, I purchased this book in hopes that it would help you learn more about them. ...Thank you, Eldrid-san! I am glad you like it! ...Haha. Too late. I shall remember this moment for a lifetime."
