😍 for Yuuyuu :catbugstare:
💞 for Asahi!
And 🌹 for Saigo!
😍 = Does your muse have any crushes? If so, who are they? 
Hmm why would you want to know from my son of all people? 👀
Yuuya doesn’t have any crush at this moment. In fact, he can’t help but subconsciously feel skeptical whenever someone says they like him as deep down he is kinda frustrated of getting too emotionally attached to someone. By the way, the closest thing to the term “crush” for him would be dated back to when he was still a little kid who hadn’t even grasped the idea of romance yet. That time he was quite glued to his sister to the point he would respond with his “nee-san (Big sis)” to any question in regards to his preference —However, it’s now an embarrassing past he would rather not talk about nowadays ...pft
—But, who knows? Maybe one day he will dare enough to break through all of his own insecurity and embrace his own feelings again ...for the sake of somebody important to him
💞 = Does your muse believe in soulmates? 
Obviously, this pink-haired dreamer adores this concept to bits! He has seen its reference in many manga and novels in his collection and personally thinks it’s such a marvelous idea to explain why people are drawn to each other beside the “mundane” explanation that people are only attracted to each other because of their outer appearances or their primal drives. More than the power of fate, Asahi instead believes that ‘soulmates’ are falling in love because they are somehow ‘connected’ to each other, be it because something they have in common, or maybe it’s what people call ‘chemistry’, or maybe it’s just their fair share of both moments in health and in sickness together, or whatever. Anyway, Asahi thinks what makes romance wonderful is because it has a meaning.
—Still, he seems to be completely forget that if this concept is true then there is a possibility of him having his own soulmate somewhere too XD
🌹 = How would your muse react to romantic gestures, expected or not? 
Normally if that gesture isn’t obvious enough to be perceived in a romantic way, then this indifferent ex-tycoon would likely pay no heed to it. Due to once being a part of high society himself, Saigo is no doubt very accustomed to various mannerisms conducted in social engagement to earn favor or the positive impression with other parties. However, in case someone is clear in their intention to flirt with him, this guy is prone to get suspicious of that person immediately. Are they up to something? What exactly are their real motives in interacting with him? Or does it in anyway involving his family? With a distrustful (and judgemental) piercing glare and a sudden distance he intentionally creates between himself and them, he is having more than thousands of thoughts running in his head as he is trying to figure out why someone acts in this way toward him. And if he is paranoid enough, he may order Chishio to dig up all of that person’s background to inspect or keep as some insurance.
💕 Thanks for the ask! Sorry to be a bit late

By the time the famous ex-actor and homicidal detective was about to step inside his house after all the hard work he had been through during the day, he was then greeted by a pile of gifts sent over to his address since today was also none other than his birthday.
Well, since he assumed that the majority of them were coming from his fans or maybe his colleagues, the option of just leaving them all under the cold of the night seems to be considered inappropriate here. So, he decided to take all of them into his residence.
Speaking of which, he also noticed that one notable-sized present with the tiny card written “from Nara Division” laying down on the floor —It was a roll of blackout curtains with so many cuts that all lights shining through them would mysteriously portray the silhouette of nighttime cityscapes and this was somehow striking some kind of aesthetics to him.
Tumblr media
Carrying the large roll of curtains into his arms, suddenly his area of sight caught up on something nearby —It was a miniature black coffin with a lot of accessories in the theme of his interest, but what made him a little bit surprised was the name addressed as its sender and the small letter attached inside.
Tumblr media
“Yo, What’s up, Shiba-kun (and greetings to Shiba-chan if she is around there).
First and foremost; Happy birthday and long time no see★
Time does fly very fast, doesn’t it? I thought I’ve just seen both you and your sister as a pair of shorties among the crew from back then. But now, look, you have already turned out to be even taller than me right now!
To be honest, it was such a regret when I heard you decided to quit showbiz so soon. Ever since then the world of entertainment had lost quite a number of young talents and also a lot of its muchness after you left.
However, above all else, I hope you guys are doing alright and content with the path you choose to walk from now on.
But WAIT, what if I’m already writing this long but you still have no idea of who I possibly am?! Haha, just kidding… I know you would never since both of us got our grand debut from the same drama series after all.
—ASHIBI
(My stage name is still the same, you see?)”
Lyall blinked as he read the letter. Gosh, it had been so long since he thought about the series that had given him his big break. No one could ever have expected how huge “Andromeda’s Children” would become. The series finale alone was watched by millions of people. Even now, reruns of the show were still popular to watch.  
Ashibi, huh? Lyall tried to remember who that could be and thought back to everyone who played a part in the drama. Then, all of a sudden, a figure appeared in Lyall’s mind. Someone who played a certain character and who understood what it was like to be suddenly shoved into the spotlight. 
“Hahahah! Oh gosh, I can't believe I almost forgot you! It has been a while hasn’t it? I should get back in touch with you. I'm sure Lyra would love to speak to you again.”

After silently arriving at his destination, the old attendant named ‘Chishio’ picked a small package wrapped within a neat piece of cloth out of his pocket and put it inside the mailbox in front of the Okada residence, not forgetting to submit a card with the message “Happy Birthday and Happy New Year! —from Nara Division” along with them.
The gifts that those kids in the division have picked for Ritsuko were a set of coasters designed after specimens of human’s brain and a bottle of colorful temari candies. For some tidbits, the candies were symbolized after some traditional ball toys called ‘Temari’ which were often gifted to children on New Year’s day to wish for their happiness. And apparently, one of many reasons why kids crave sweet things is because the principal energy for human’s brain is also glucose —the end product from breaking down most sugars. What a good match for the presents(?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“And hey. If you seem that scared, why do you follow me here in the first place huh, little miss?”
Chishio frowned a bit as he noticed a small creature snuggling around his shoes after it spending a brief moment running around and checking the new environment it had visited.
…Wait, why was that kid’s kitty stalking him again today?
Gently picking the kitten up from the ground, the old man muttered something as if he was talking with her.
“I knew my master doesn’t really like cats much due to some allergy he has to your fur, but I’m sure that he has never done something rude to you as well. So, why can’t you just stay there and enjoy your time with your owner instead of running around like this? Outside is full of harm, just you know.”
The old man sighed. For whatever he had spoken out just now, there was no way the petite feline in his arms could neither understand nor answer him anyway.
—How ridiculous can this be? He could persuade that smart kid not to tag along with him in almost dangerous places but couldn’t do that with his cat.
“…Fine, let’s go home Ojou-chan. At least you make a less annoying companion than the other ‘cat’ I know.”
Ritsuko plucked a Temari from the bowl and rolled it around her fingers, inspecting the small treat. How amusing, she thought as she popped it in her mouth and began to chew, it was indeed sweet and it scratched at her sweet tooth nicely. Those specimens from Nara were quite intriguing, not only due to their gift giving habits but also because of the members themselves, the scientist made a mental note to do more research on them, she had a feeling that they may prove useful to her.
Thank you for the gift!

Somewhere in Nakano city, when the Japanese American fashionista was about to leave her house on one cold morning in December, there she saw a large present wrapped by a vivid red furoshiki resting peacefully in front of her doorstep.
Taking by curiosity, she unwrapped the mysterious package and was greeted by a box of homemade crunchy cookies with a small piece of paper tucked inside. To be honest, she thinks that its appearance did look a bit familiar to some crunchies she has known as the ‘Fortune Cookies’ back in her hometown.
Tumblr media
“Tsujiura senbei (辻占煎餅) ——in case we were at crossroads, how would we know that which path is the brighter one? Whatever that means, let’s face forward! For different ways are different more opportunities!
Happy Birthday & Wish you an early merry Christmas
—Yuuya Kanata & Asahi Tomoharu, Nara Division”
The card she found nearby had said so, but the excitement had not ended yet as the red-haired Alice noticed one more present humbly folding beneath the box of cookies
…And Ta-da!
It was a cute kimono modified with the modest Kawaii fashion sent straight from a certain professional seamstress in Kyoto ‘Suzuran Minazuki’.
Tumblr media
Another letter written in a lot neater handwriting was read,
“Greetings, kid
My cousin requested me to hand this little present to you after your collaboration with her from the Halloween Night Party. She did say that she is looking forward to working on some designs with you once again. Maybe she is looking for an apprentice but that’s who knows anyway
—Saigo Fuyugami”
As she opened the furoshiki, she was pleasantly surprised with the fortune cookie like pastries.
“ Oh, how delightful! I haven’t had anything similar to fortune cookies in a long time.”
She takes out the card attached to the furoshiki, reading it.
“ Yuuya and Asahi from Nara Division..Oh! I remember now, I helped with costumes for the Halloween Night Party, so I got to interact with Nara Division there.”
After reading the letter, she noticed the present underneath the cookies.
“Oh goodness, this is gorgeous! The patterns are quite intricate, I can’t imagine how much time this took.”
She reads the second letter.
“I see, so Ms. Minazuki must be Mr. Fuyugami’s cousin. Well, I did enjoy working with her on the Halloween night party, so it’d be an honor to work with her on some designs again!”
Alice neatly sets aside the presents, calling Ririko.
“Oh, Miraitabi sent you some birthday gifts? Aw, how nice of them! You know, their leader, Yuuya, is around your age, maybe this could be your chance to make a friend in your age group! Want me to set up a hangout with them?”
“That would be nice, thank you, Ririko-Senpai.” Alice chuckles.

As the sun was still shining brightly in the first day of November, there was yet another visitor stopping by at one flower shop in Ueno.
This time the visitor was a young man with pink fluffy hair and a tatsumaki headband.
“Pardon my intrusion~ Oh, ohayo☆ Happy birthday and glad to see you today, Heisha-san.”
Greeting the nun with a big hearty smile on his face, the boy walked up closer to the flower shelf where Shisuta was standing
“My name is Asahi from the Harumatsuya shop in Nara!  And I’ve come here today as the representative of my team! YuuYu was going to relay presents at other division so he sadly can't come today. Most importantly… We’ve got some presents for you as well!”
With such a jovial voice, he handed something over to the birthday lady.
“This one was a handmade bookmark from him. He told me he had found this four-leaf clover once during one of his time doing the club activity with his friends in the park, and that time he was kinda into the resin art too. So, he decided to make one himself.”
Tumblr media
“Four-leaf clover doesn’t only mean someone a good luck. I heard that each of their leaves are said to stand for four things. The first leaf is for hope, the second is for faith, the next is for love, and therefore the last one is for luck. In my opinion, I really think that it would suit your liking! And here, let’s move to the next gift~”
Asahi opened his bag and picked one paper box out of it carefully. He looked so proud when he opened its lid to showed what’s inside to her.
“Proudly presented from my family store! This is the nerikiri set I made myself! After all, flower designs and such are my specialty! I bet it would go even better if eaten together with some hot green tea.”
Tumblr media
“Lastly, these are from Saigo-san. Speaking about tea and he actually gives Heisha-san the teacups haha. They’re the product from his cousin who loves ceramics though. Pouring some tea in these and they will look like there is literally a fish swimming inside. Kinda having the wabi-sabi feelings to me, I think?”
Tumblr media
As the nun looked at all of the items presented by the wagashi maker, a smile appeared on her face as she bowed respectfully to him.
"Thank you very much, Tomoharu-san," Shisuta said, still smiling. "I am truly grateful for these."
Feeling she needed to reciprocate the young man for his kindness, Shisuta turned around for a brief second and began pulling out an assortment of flowers before gently placing them in a vase full of water.
"Please, take these." Shisuta said, handing him a bouquet of Dahlias. "Dahlias are a very beautiful flower. Not only because of their appearance, but because they symbolize compassion and kindness, which is what you and your companions have shown today." Bowing once more, Shisuta bid the young pink-haired man a farewell before looking at the treasures he had left behind. Smiling at the bookmark, she tucked it away, making sure to use it later.
She was truly in awe of the teacups that Asahi's teammate had given her. As she bit into one of the wagashi left for her, she was a bit upset that she didn't have any tea to good with them. It would have been a good time to utilize Saigo-san's gift. But she promised herself she would definitely use them at her earliest connivence.

The sun has already set low and now the darkness has started to loom over the Aoyama city by the time Luis finishes his late stroll in the evening. While walking back to his home, suddenly, he finds an unfamiliar face pop out from the place he called his home —That visitor is a young man with pink fluffy hair dressed in the linen working attire which he recognizes to often see in those Japanese restaurants.
But before the Hispanic chef has to do anything, the pink-haired visitor is the one who greets him first.
“Oh, good evening! You are Luis-san, aren’t you? My name is ‘Asahi’ from ‘Harumatsuya’ in Nara! This is probably the first time I met you in person, I often heard of you from my grandparents.” 
The young man speaks in a cheerful manner. Somehow it literally make him think that this young man’s atmosphere feels very bright even if the surroundings have become dusky due to the absence of daylight. 
“Granny and gramp seem to know Uehashi oba-san from the cuisine expo some time ago, hence they told me to go greet her by myself today…Well, granny can’t come because she has to look after our shop and my gramp obviously can’t leave home. Both of them told me to deliver their blessings to you though!” 
He laughs a little as he picks something out of his bag.
“As you may know… I’m not here today only on my grandparents’ request, I also come here as the representative of my team —the Nara Division, too.”
Inside the tiny box he holds out to the chef are the wagashi in a cute pumpkin shape to celebrate a certain day of October.
Tumblr media
“So, this is some little gift from me. Happy birthday to you and Happy early Halloween! I’ve already left the gift from my shop to Uehashi oba-san when I arrived, it’s the set of wagashi specially made to enjoy the taste of October’s fall. My leader YuuYu has helped me in making them as well.”
Tumblr media
“...And here is some souvenir from Saigo-san. It’s the Kashikata cake mold carved by an artisan he knows. He told me that he has lots of contacts of great craftsmen if you wanna order the more intricate or customized designs for whatever occasion.”
Tumblr media
After handing his and his team’s presents to the chef, Asahi waves his hand as the farewell.
“Sayonara~~~ Hope you and your grandma have the great new year ahead! Let’s meet again another time, Luis-san. Now I’ve to hurry home before my grandma closes the shop all by herself!
Luis hadn't actually planned on leaving his house, but Karada apparently had some "emergency" and needed his help, ASAP. Tomi, of course, wasn't going to be bothered, so that just left Luis. After trudging the way to his friend's house and solving whatever problem he had, (his oven door wouldn't open, which ruined the cookies he was planning to make) the chef returned back home to find a strange, yet familiar-looking pink-haired young man on the porch of his house, making him frown slightly.
After hearing his name and the name of his shop, it was then that Luis's expression changed. He had recalled his grandmother once buying some sweets from a shop in Nara. To be honest, after trying them once, he had wanted to stop by and pick up some, himself, but never managed to find the time. Between working at his restaurant, taking care of his grandmother, and making sure his teammates didn't do anything to piss off the rest of Japan, he didn't have much free time on his hands. So having the guy who personally made the sweets come down and deliver them himself was a welcome sight.
"Thank you, Asahi-san," Luis stated. "I've been wanting to stop by, but couldn't find a chance. Give my regards to your teammates, as well. And if you find the time to come here again, be sure to stop by my restaurant. My cooks and I will serve you all something nice."
Bidding the confectionary cook farewell, the chef headed into his house and into his kitchen where the gifts were. Popping one of the treats into his mouth, he hummed as it enjoyed the flavor. He nodded, reminding to return the favor on Asahi's birthday.

Mina's Thoughts on Nara Division
Tumblr media
Yuuya Kanata
"I'll admit, I don't fully know Yuuya-kun that well, despite the two of us going to the same school and having a few classes together. I know he gets on well with Elliot-kun, though, which is a surprise, given his appearance and the difference in their personalities. However, Elliot tells me that Yuuya is a huge animal-lover, so the two get along because of that." Mina gives a soft smile. "I'm glad to see Elliot is making more friends. After everything... he deserves some form of happiness."
Asahi Tomoharu
"...Seeing this young man's pastries is one of the reasons I hate the fact that I can't eat regular food. No matter how hard I try, it tastes like bile in my mouth and makes me want to vomit. I hate it!" She growls, showing her fangs, but manages to calm herself down before she does something she regrets. "...But that has nothing to do with this young man. I think he was the one who brought Elliot those treats for his birthday. That was nice of him."
"...For some reason though, Yorii seems to dislike this guy. He doesn't say or do anything antagonizing, but he seems to go out of his way to avoid he's not alone with the guy. I don't know why..."
Saigo Fuyugami
"He's the only member from this team that I don't fully know well. To be honest, I get the sense he's kinda... like me. 'Old, but still young', if that makes sense. The way he carries himself and his style of dress is kinda fitting since he since he's a businessman. I don't have much else to say about him, though. Like I said, he seems mature, yet still young."
Miraitabi
"Back before I met Elliot and Yorii, Nara City was actually where I used to live. When I was still trying to figure out more about myself, I decided to live away from people in the wild. I had to periodically feed on the deer there to nourish myself. I know a lot of people in the city wondered why so many of their animals were winding up dead. I felt bad about it, but if the choice was attacking animals or people, well... the decision was obvious."
"But aside from that, this team seems... alright. Granted, I don't know much about them, but Elliot seems to like each member, so they mustn't seem so bad. I hope to learn more about them."

As the well-reputed figure of Roppongi and one of most famous producers in Japan, plenty of presents were surely expected on Kai Quinlan’s birthday.
—And the reality wasn’t much out of expectation since there was literally a nonstop flood of gifts kept sending over to his house even until it was almost the end of his birthday.
However, by whatever whim that took over him at that time, his brown eyes suddenly noticed a peculiar box hiding in the midst of it all.
But to describe it ‘peculiar’, actually it had nothing that could be called ‘special’ about it… Neither having a gaudy size nor shrouding in the flamboyant decor that declared to have his attention, this plain-looking box was just standing there quietly rebeling whatever trend other presents trying to overwhelm it with its own existence —Hmm, looks like sometimes the simplicity can make something stand out as well.
And after carefully unpacking the present, he found a couple of gifts containing in the midst of foam peanuts packing inside.
One was the phone amplifier in the design of a miniature concert speaker, and the other was a certain instrument made from wood …It was a blue kalimba with a deer motif engraving on its wooden body;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As for the last one, there was a handmade card attaching in it as well, so he picked it up and gave it some read.
Tumblr media
“To Mr. DJ Veenyle of Roppongi
Happy Birthday and wish you a good year onwards! The clubmates at my school keep asking me to send you their gift, so I consider sending mine too.
Actually, I think my gift might not be much of your style …but I hope it could bring something new to your creativity.
Sincerely,
Looking forwards to your next work and may this year be filled with joy and success,
Nara Division”
While Kai really appreciated the note and the phone amplifier (which he would definitely use in the near future since one never knew when inspiration would strike and you needed to jot something down on your cell phone), it was the kalimba that really had his attention. Giving several of the metal tines a few taps, he really liked the sound that came from each one. Before he knew it, he was fiddling with it, trying to make a whole song on the small wooden instrument.
"I wonder if it's possible to implement this into one of my songs..." he thought. Smiling at the thought, the radio DJ continued playing with the instrument as he walked back to his music studio, eager to see what other ideas he could come up with this unorthodox, yet strangely unique instrument. He also recalled that one of the members of Nara Division was a musician himself. Yuuya Kanata, if memory served him correctly.
"I'll definitely have to remember to give him and his friends a shoutout or a hit song when November rolls around..."

Even though the full bloom forecast in Kumamoto had already passed by a few days, the city’s “Hanami” still seemed to yet cease for another visitor…
“Looks like Hanami-san isn’t home yet,” said the reddish-haired boy with a guitar case on his back. He had tried hitting the doorbell a couple of times but there was no response from the resident.
Holding a cherry blossom snow globe in his hand, he tried finding somewhere to lie down the gift so that the birthday owner could receive their gift properly.
Tumblr media
“Oopsie~ Kunio kid didn’t tell me that the little birdie is having work today, but maybe he is busy with some gigs at the theater.”
Glancing at his side, standing beside him was a tall man with a usual carefree smile and the iconic shades he always wears.
Honestly, even if Yuuya knew it was certain that this shady dude was someone with an official profile in public, he just couldn’t help doubting whether he could trust him or not —Not only because of his shady look, but also for the fact that he claimed himself to be one of his dad’s ‘friends’…
Suddenly, the voice of a girl from somewhere had joined the conversation.
“Let’s leave what you called [gifts] here and get back, human! ANGE thinks that entity named [Hanami] kinda doesn’t look safe...”
On the screen of Yuuya’s phone appeared a figure of one girl with long white hair and bright red eyes with inhuman white pupils. Her expression seemed to be anxious about something. And despite how real she sounds, listen closely and one might notice some static hidden in between the phrases —Yeah, her voice was actually synthetic, given that the speaker was not really human. Still, Yuuya had got to admit that her speaking had been improving a lot since they first met.
Hearing the mysterious girl in Yuuya’s phone talked, his ‘dad’s friend’ with suspicious sunglasses slightly raised his brows.
“Oh, your girlfriend is tagging along huh.”
And even if his shades blocked him to see his clear expression, Yuuya just felt like his tone sounded a bit like a sneer.
“It’s such a regret~ If this is only a date between the two of us, I’d like to take you to do many funsy together~~ There are loooot of stuffs we could enjoy here in Kumamoto, ya know~?”
“EEWWW The one who should go away are [you], dirty cat! Shoo, shoo! Go away!! You don’t plan to scam my human, do you? You’re always lying even just now!”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“—Hey, stop fighting you two.”
It wouldn’t be good if their bicker got more heat than this, so Yuuya had to interrupt them somehow. Besides, he didn’t have much time to leisure around, actually.
“Alright, then I’ll just leave the present here and get back. I already had an appointment with my clubmates at school, so I shouldn’t keep them waiting for long, should I?”
After finding somewhere that looked like a mailbox, he carefully placed the pink snow globe there and glanced back at his phone’s phone to see that his cyber buddy was now calming down, only with some little pout on her face.
Maybe he was just imagining things but he felt ANGE had been lately a tad bit clingy toward him ever since she told him that there were too many individuals with ‘omnious waves’ lurking around in the D.R.B. —He wasn’t sure what she really meant though, but he’d like to give it some thoughts.
And even if he still doubted many things about her as well, here and now wasn’t a right time to be a skeptic. So, he decided to just leave further query inside of his mind for now.
Thinking so, Yuuya then turned to his other companion.
“And Asebi-san, ANGE is not my girlfriend… However, I beg of you to not be rude to her please.”
Humming a joy melody to himself Hanami Yamamura seemed to dance when he get close to his own residence gave by the starless theater,saying a friendly "hi" or a glow smile to the people who said him "hello" or looked at him with smiles, Hanami was a truly light to anyone in kumamoto city
The "songbird" sighed when he looked at the little box on infront of his door
"uh? What could be this?"-Hanami hummed holding the gift on his hands, looking it closer to him the sapphire eyes has a light when he looked better the snowball
-"how cute!"-Hanami mumbled seeing the beautiful design of a bridge surrounded by cherry blossoms. He shacking it softly and a sweet smile appeared on his face when the pink "snow" seemed to fly around the ball like that seasons where the flowers blooming, that season Hanami named himself after
In that moment several pink petal fall around him and Hanami raise the look
He laughed seeing the fall of the cherry blossoms

“Oh Yukimura-san, today is your birthday, isn’t it~?”
Someone Nellie recognized to be one of his coworkers greeted him when he was about to enter his own office in one afternoon.
Upon seeing the head of publishing house answered with a polite nod, his coworker then grinned with a blessing,
“I see, so Happy Birthday to you, boss★ A~annd, one more thing, I noticed someone has placed some presents on your desk, so don’t forget to check them up when you have time.”
Though receiving the blessing of that coworker of his who was now eventually walking far from his sight, somehow Nellie felt a strange feeling itching in his mind… However, realizing he was soon to reach his working desk, there Nellie just brushed it off and decided to have some checkup at his desk first —And that’s where he found the two gifts just like what he had been told.
The first one was the nightlight featuring a glowing figure of the protagonist from one certain famous story named ‘Le Petit Prince’ in it, and the other was just a journal book decorated with a leather steampunk cover.

Kinda curious at who has sent these two magnificent gifts to him, the detective instinct in Nellie was riled up to find clues about the sender…
But suddenly, at that whimsical moment, his detective moment was interrupted by something that falling down from his brand-new book

It’s a card with a familiar mischievous grin painting on it with some letters!
“Happy Birthday, Mr Verne★ Those kids at Nara has asked me to tell you this, so~ have a good day then ;)”
…Seems like a wild secret character had paid a visit.
Nellie chuckle looking at the card-"a cheshire cat? Mmph i think Kunio or Ryukyu told me someone like that once or twice"-he hummed, intrigued
Looking this time his birthday gift a soft smile appears on Nellie's face
"it's cute"-said he to himself noticing the figure of the protagonist from "the little prince" if Nellie don't remember bad that was his mother's favorite book (when she was enoughly sane)
Frowing once the memories were more bitter Nellie opens the journal book and takes a pen,ready for starts to write

It’s just that Japan has turned around into the midsummer —The perfect time to enjoy a beach trip for most people.
Once a certain jet-black car has reached its destination at one of the best hot-spots being reviewed in Okinawa, the boy with reddish hair has been spotted stepping out of the car …with a number of boxes in his arms. 
The seashell chimes hanging above the bar’s doors let out their lovely rattling sound as he gets inside.
“Good afternoon, mister. Are you perhaps Mr. Young of Eagle’s Nest? I’m Yuuya Kanata from Nara division. I’m here today to relay the birthday presents from my team.”
Tumblr media
“This box is my gift. They may look all yummy but they are in fact scented candles I found nice. If by any chance, I think they will make good decorations to your bar at nighttime. Their smells are quite something too. This one has a vanilla scent, this one is strawberry milkshake, this one is butter cream, and many more —Well, they all smell like desserts in my opinion.”
And then he brings out a cooler box. 
Tumblr media
“Okay, these ones are actually edible haha. They’re Monaka ice cream made from my teammate despite him telling me that making ice cream isn’t really his land of expertise. Even so, he expects something cool like ice cream would sell off rather well in summer and more particularly; maybe somewhere with a tropical climate like in Okinawa. And in case you want to be more creative with them, the empty shells (crispy wafer) are also available in the additional bag.”
Tumblr media
“From Saigo-san are the beautifully painted ceramic plates and the last one is from Mr. Chishio —Hmm, the latter is like… the assistant of Saigo-san? Honestly, just how many jobs this guy has been carrying under that title. I don’t know why, but Mr. Chishio seems to know your place rather well even before we entered the DRB. He even asked me to tell you ‘Thank you for the trading’ and give me his own gift for you.”
Inside the box from the guy called Chishio are a collection of kitchen knives for various uses ...Just don’t get the wrong idea. Japanese are known for using different knives for each different role in the kitchen. So, the ultimate motive behind this gift is only for cooking …Definitely, not for murdering someone, maybe?
“And that’s all we’ve got for you today. Lastly, Happy Birthday Mr. Young —EH? YOU ALSO GOT A KITTY?” 
Seemingly distracted for a minute, the boy soon keeps his composure back from petting the kitten a couple of times. 
“…It’s a shame that I’ve to fetch some seafoods for my teammates before dinnertime, so let me say a good-bye for today. Nevertheless, hope you and your teammates all have a nice year!”
——— BONUS: about fifteen minutes ago
Chishio: We’ve already arrived at the bar so why don’t we order some liquor on our way home?
Yuuya: How do you forget that I’m still underage and alcohol seems likely to be downright sedative to me? What wicked humor you have today, Chishio-san. At least don’t convince your minor to be your drinking friend!
Chishio: *chuckles* Aren't you 19 this year, kid?
Rashaad smiled at the handful of gifts he had received from the Nara Division. Truthfully, he wasn't all that familiar with them, though he did know of them. It was one of the many perks of being a bartender; you knew just about everyone in Japan, whether they had revealed themselves or not. He made a mental note that he'd have to interact with the Nara team later on when he had some free time. Before he departed, the bar owner disappeared quickly into his bar before returning with a bottle of sake and some cups.
"For Chishio-san and Fuyugami-san," Rashaad stated, handing him the bottle and the cups. "Tell them to make sure it's thoroughly heated first."
Bidding the young teenager a farewell, Rashaad looked at the gifts he had received. Out of all of them, the candles were perhaps his favorite. Opening a random one, he quickly lit it with his lighter. In a matter of seconds, the entire bar seemed to smell like some fruity cereal, making Rashaad nod his head, enjoying the aroma.
Sitting down on one of the stools in his bar, he chose the vanilla and chocolate parfait as he began digging into it, eating it was his hands. He heard a small 'purr' from above and looked as it was his kitten, Coco, whom Rashaad had forgotten was on top of his head. Looking up at him, he placed a small thing of ice cream on one of the plates, Fuyugami-san had given him.
The feline, not needing to be told twice, dug into the sweet milky treat, using his small tongue to eat it. The scene made Rashaad grin; this birthday was truly shaping up to be, perhaps, his best upon leaving the States.
Thanks for the gift!

Special Blessing from Miraitabi!
Tumblr media
Second part: Fairytale 🐈‍⬛
Tumblr media
The glimmering white snow was quietly falling down in the town and so was the color of this dull indoors where life and death could become no stranger to each other at anytime.
…White walls and the faint smells of antiseptic, not much signs of liveliness can be sensed around here at this time except for the soldiers in green who were strenuously moving here and there to carry out the duty of their own. 
However, amidst this seemingly colorless environment, there was a figure of someone half sitting and half lying on a couch. His silky smooth and a bit wavy hair was vivid like a dye derived from alkanet roots with a few locks sloppily falling over one side of his face. While keeping himself up close in the range of the warmth from heater just like a cat snuggling around the fireplace in midwinter, the man with a messy ponytail lazily peered through his shades to observe the achromatic scenery outside of a window.
...Time sure flies, because this year too, is going to pass by in the wink of an eye.
But since no story really had an end, the ‘Happy Ever After’ soon turned invalid —It was just something new that was going to take place.
The “journey” had already set off.
And with the fact that nothing just happened without a cause, the reason why something became the way it was until today was might as well being parts of his fault. So, at very least he made his ever fickle mind to do something about it sooner or later.
Slowly breathing in and out as he mentally counting the ticks of the clock for some way to kill time, he was certain that with this much chill of the night, his breath would gonna turn into a white fog if he was still out there wandering with no direction to go on the street. In fact, he did think the snow looked somehow fascinating but the cold was nowhere near appealing to him.
—That was what he idly thought until a hoard of spirited and mischievous little creatures gathered around him and started wrecking some noises.
“What’s up kiddies~? Do you have anything to do with this poor nii-san at this late?”
A few books were shoved right in front of him with pairs of several pleading eyes.
Oh, great. He caught a glimpse of their caretaker standing not far away from them with a quite worn-out look and a pair of thick bags under her eyes. Ho~ Not even those trained souls can keep up with the energy of these young buds?
“Hmm~ Reading you guys some books before bedtime? Ya know, if this wasn’t this late, I thought there were a heap lot of people who enjoy doing this better than me.”
Actually, this place usually had some regular visitors such as the writer friend of his who always dress like an actor from some period drama, or even that clown prick who seemed to be so good at handling children, and lately there was one tall lady with a proud look that she could seduce anyone in her gaze. However, this time was unfortunately a holiday night, so that was the main reason why there was no one around at the present.
“Alrighty~ Let me see which kind of stories you want this nii-san to read~”
Taking a glimpse of the cover on each book and he somehow had a sudden urge to turn them away.
…‘Snow White’ and ‘Sleeping Princess’, weren’t they? 
What kind of thoughts filled in the heads of those authors when they decided to publish these kinds of stories for children? Especially when the stories featured their heroines to be just a damsel in distress who only waited for their princes to come rescue them or when the moral of stories became to be just ‘a kiss from true love’ can solve anything blah blah blah —Hello? Hey, do they even know that the crippled fantasy of theirs can shape up what children will think in the future?
But still, despite his subtle protest, the kids wouldn’t give up on their choices. They firmly insisted that they wanted to listen to some ‘heartwarming’ stories before bed so that they could have a good dream on the last night of this year.
…Dammit. And you little kids just ask a shameless player who had sworn to love no one like him for an unbelievable lovey-dovey tale? Talking about irony, yet he didn’t have the nerve to turn down their innocent plea.
At that moment, one idea popped up in his mind. If there was no favorable choice available then you had to create a new one, wasn’t it?
“Well then, how about nii-san telling you a story that you guys might never know before?”
After setting a bait on the hook, the big bad cat revealed a wide grin as he saw the school of fish easily falling into his trap.
Tumblr media
“Shh...This story may neither have princes nor princesses to entertain you guys, but it’s not like angels and fairies doesn’t exist. Because believe me… Even something that is unable to be seen or even touched doesn’t mean it never exists.”
—And here we go, the fairytale as pure as white as snow, something that seemed too far innocent to be told by him started pouring out.
“...Once upon a time as the winter’s snow had fallen on the town, an unlikely encounter was somehow bound to take place.”
❆ Snow Fairy Story

“In the new future to come, it’ll once more become that glimmering snow...”

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!

Springtime had already arrived here in Echizen as the little dashes of light pink were fluttering everywhere in the park where the errand boy of Clockwork Lament was strolling aimlessly.
To be honest, he didn’t know why his proud two legs had taken him here to this place, but to take some little breather from his usual rushing life didn’t sound like a bad idea. The park here had quite an exquisite scenery during this season by the way —It was no wonder why his team leader would pick it as his favorite place to leisure around whenever he has time.
…And speaking of the devil, here the devil came. At that moment, Kohaku heard the voice of his team leader calling out to him from behind.
“Fancy seeing you here, Haku-chan★ How is your day going~?”
Quickly turning his head back, however, the errand boy was instead finding no sight of his horologist friend around.
—He wouldn’t hear it wrong, would he? He was sure that it was Shi-shi?
The boy thought to himself while looking at other directions. He did believe in his sense but …something was bugging his mind.
“Looking for someone~? I’m right here, little Umbrella-kun~”
With an exact the same voice of his team leader playfully whispering not far away from one of his ears, the wild instinct of an ex-syndicate member in him has gone off. The boy instantly leaped away to create a safe distance between himself and the sudden stranger.
—That’s right! Even though he knew how playful or a bit flirty his friend was, Nishio has never added ‘-chan’ after his name before!
“Woah~ Don’t act so cold. I come here with a good intention, you know? My fragile heart can be hurt too ;-;”
After seeing the younger’s reaction, that stranger with Nishio’s voice dramatically put one hand over his chest and the other gracefully(?) at the corner of his eye as if shedding some imaginary tears. His gesture was flawless only if he didn’t do that while wearing a pair of shady sunglasses over his face. And even if this funny dude was definitely a different person from his team leader, he could still sense some similarity of Nishio overlapping with this mysterious stranger
“…”
Okay, why the heck has Shi-shi never told him about this mischievous doppelgängers of his before? He was hella confused right now… The boy could only thought.
“My bad, you don’t have to be so scared~ I’m not that low to attack someone on their birthday. It’s just that my sweet little friends in Nara are unfortunately busy at this moment, so they couldn’t come here by themselves —That’s why I decide to offer a bit of my help. And here you go, they’ve got some pretty presents for you~~ ”
Grinning wide like a certain cat in one children’s book, there the dandy dude(?) handed Kohaku a paper bag which he has reluctantly taken it with some caution. After being assured that whatever was in this bag was safe, the errand boy opened it and found
Tumblr media Tumblr media
—The two jars filled with his favorite sweets, the kohakutou! They were no doubt from a certain shop in Nara where he regularly stopped by to get some treats. And the presents didn’t end with just that, there was a purse in the shape of delicious breakfast bread —It seemed like this one was from the team leader of Miraitabi who he had once collaborated with during the shuffle event. Woah! He has never thought that those two would remember about him though!
Getting a bit excited over the new presents he received on his birthday, the boy somehow didn’t notice that the mysterious stranger was now approaching in his range before he did something unexpectable.
“It’s such a regret that I’ve to go soon~ But worry not, I believe that this is not the last time we’re going to meet…”
Within a blink, suddenly Kohaku’s land of sight has gone black! But that’s not something to worry since the blind was only lasted for a few seconds before he found out that it was just a pair of funny sunglasses sneakily wearing over his eyes.
Tumblr media
“Happy Birthday and Adios, fellow informant-kun★ Could you also tell the clockmaker that I said hi~~”
However, when the boy got a clearer view —That sneaky cat was now gone, leaving only their amused farewell ringing in air and his own confusion.
…Seriously, Shi-shi, who did your flirty ass attract this time!?
“Oi! Where did he went???”
Kohaku in absolute confusion, looked around for any sign of the “cat” after pulling up the glasses stuck onto his face, still holding onto the bag handed to him by the mysterious stranger.
Eyes roaming to the left, and later on to the right… yeah, whoever he was, he’s nowhere to be seen anymore.
Taking one last glance at the interior of the paper bag, the boy smirked.
“I better tell Shi-shi about this!”
And so he darted off like he usually does toward a familiar antiques store.

Even if cherry blossoms weren’t in full bloom here in Edogawa, it seemed like the Hanami forecast of this year is a bit awry due to the climate change.
The spring was soon arriving, few pink little petals were carried along the rushing wind and tickling Kanra’s cheeks when she opened the doors to check on her unexpected guest on her birthday.
And this time was the turn youngest member of Wicked Requiem being greeted by a certain super enthusiastic pink-haired wagashi maker of Nara…
“Ohayo, Little D.Vil of Wicked Requiem☆ SWEET-T of Miraitabi is at your service today! Let’s say Happy Birthday and here our team has prepared some presents exclusively for you~ \(ˆᗜˆ˵ )/”
Tumblr media
“First one is from our leader… It surely has a sweet look but this one is for your little friend, Haku-kun! Tee-hee~ It’s kinda suits him since he is someone who has currently adopted our feline buddy too~ A comfy fruit tart (Actually a cat bed) was hardly a bad choice after all! And the next one is from mine~”
The older boy brought out a pink box with a pretty sakura pattern and began to remove its lid.
“Ta-da☆ Harumatsuya and Miraitabi of Nara are proudly presenting~ It looks like you have always made a nice cake for most people in other divisions, right? Now it’s time for you to get a cake too, kid!”
Tumblr media
“Again, Happy Birthday and Happy White Day (。˃ ᵕ ˂ )✿”
Kanra cheerfully squealed at the sight of another cake. It was days like this that Kanra appreciated her super metabolism. Most people couldn't finish 1 whole cake by themselves, let alone the 5 she had eaten in the last few hours. Oh, that was right. Yuriko had banned her from consuming any more sugary sweets for the rest of the night. Well, it would be rude of Kanra to let this cute cake go to waste, and what Yuriko didn't know wouldn't hurt her.
“Okay, now to sneak this back into my room without Yuriko-san noticing.”

Even at this late, the legendary birthday of Ueno's notorious sukeban hasn’t yet come to an end as she finds the package wrapped in a pink furoshiki lying peacefully inside the mailbox in front of her current residence.
Tumblr media
To be precise; this kind of wrapping style has already become the trademark of a certain division in Kansai. So, it’s not so hard to guess who is the sender of this one peculiar present.
Unwrapping the cloth with curiosity, the first gift exposed to her sight is a bit small but attracts her eyes nonetheless; it’s the portable crimson bluetooth speaker with a cool retro design. With this little buddy, she can enjoy listening and even sharing her favorite tracks anytime and anywhere she wants! This is no doubt a gift from a certain music lover who lives in Nara.
Tumblr media
And the other gift resting at the bottom is a box full of sakura mochi stuffed with anko (sweet red bean paste) and strawberry. Honestly, there are too plenty of them to eat alone. On the box, there is the message scribbled with cutesy handwritings. 
“My grandma might have been carried away for a bit. She also said you have reminded her a bit of her distant youth, and by the time I noticed; we have already made a lot of them more than we expected... Haha, may you share them with others as you please.”
P.S. Last time I was in Ueno, I picked some cherry blossoms from the park to make the Sakura Shiozuke (Pickled Cherry Blossoms) and I also used some of them in the recipe this time. Ehehe, sorry for picking them without any permission ~So, as an apology, please enjoy the taste of your hometown’s blossoms.”
Tumblr media
—————————————————————
…Meanwhile at Harumatsuya, Nara City.
“Oh~ So this time YuuYu is the one who delivered the gifts? How rare of you going somewhere else outside of our town.” 
“Hasn’t you remembered? Yumeno-sensei has invited me for some chat, so I took that as an opportunity to relay our presents to Busujima-san and Norikoru-san.”
“Eh? And if I remember correctly, isn’t today also your—”
“...Tell that old man I won’t stop by his mansion today.”
“Woah, OKAY? Why are leaving so soon? Just so you know, me and my grandma are always happy to have you as our dinner guest. We can even throw a party at Saigo-san’s place. He may be a bit grumpy but I think he doesn’t mind letting us doing something nice for you at least once in a while.”
“Thanks for your kindness, Hi-chan. But I feel like going home today, so I’d sadly like to have a pass.”
“Hey—”
With no more explanation left to be said, his friend and division leader has suddenly left the shop with the unreadable emotion reflected in his eyes.
Truthfully speaking, the wagashi artist felt like his usually kind and upbeat bestie was acting a bit weird for today.
Ah, it seems like this day is going to be a long day after all...
Looking at the gifts that had arrived, Aranai smirked, particularly at the Bluetooth speaker. Ever since she had misplaced her iPod, she had been saving up to buy a new one. But she had never thought to buy a Bluetooth speaker, so this gift was unwelcome. And hey, it kept more money in her pocket.
"I'll have to remember to take this thing with me when I go driving," Aranai said, setting it off to the side as she looked at the mochi. Truthfully, the former rebel didn't care much for rice cakes. She's tried them, but could never develop a taste for them. Still, the guy or whoever was nice enough to drop them off, so she reluctantly took a bit of one.
"Hmm, not bad." She said as she bit into it again. "Maybe I'll leave some for Shisuta. She goes nuts for these things."
Finishing it off, the former Bōsōzoku placed the rest in a plastic ziplock bag and tossed it in her handbag. Walking outside, she smirked as she turned her new Bluetooth speaker onto a random song by 86. Still with a smirk on her face, she quickly ignited her engine before speeding off down the street into her city of Ueno.
