Part 2 - Around Thirty?

Hida Nayuta snapped her fan open.

A sun and letters 『29 Congrats』 were drawn on it.

「Twenty nine this year. It’s truly an auspicious matter.」

Reiri also nodded emotionally.

「Indeed. It’s easy to say twenty nine years, but it’s not actually that easy to actually live it.」

Kizuna also sighed in admiration.

「I too still have only lived for seventeen years old……twenty nine years are really long. I can’t even imagine it.」

Nayuta got a faraway look and fanned herself.

「It’s just as you said. It’s just a step shy of age thirty……people nowadays called it around thirty isn’t it? I hope that you’ll still work hard from now on, but it’s said that your stamina will drop drastically when you aged past thirty, so it’ll be better if you pay attention to your health management.」

Reiri glared at her mother dubiously.

「What’s with that? Don’t talk like you’re talking about me.」

「No way Reiri-chan……you mustn’t talk self-depreciatingly like that.」

「What?」

「You’re a good respectable person Reiri-chan. I believe that no matter what others might say.」

「……Wait, just what are you prattling about?」

Kizuna’s expression spasmed as though he had just noticed something unpleasant.

「Kaa-san. Don’t tell me this 29 means……」

Nayuta puffed out her chest proudly.

「Of course, it’s to congratulate Reiri-chan’s 29th birthday!」

Reiri yelled with an angry look.

「I’m still 24!」

Nayuta looked dumbfounded as she stared at her daughter’s face.

「Eh, really?」

「You, your memory and smart mind are your only good points! How can you misremember your own daughter’s age!?」

「But, if you count at the year when the manuscript of the first volume was written, you should have turn 29 this year.」

「What kind of incomprehensible thing you’re prattling about!」

Kizuna smiled awkwardly and cut in between the two.

「Calm down Nee-chan. Kaa-san is just joking.」

「It’s more a harassment rather than a joke. Sheesh……if I’m around thirty, then you’re around forty.」

That sounded like a mistake in calculation when one considered the common age difference between parent and child, but it actually wasn’t wrong.

Furthermore Nayuta’s appearance was still in the single digit age, so it was already incomprehensible what was right or not.

「Anyway it will be harder to give birth the older you become, so Reiri-chan too should think about it soon.」

「I don’t really know whether that sounds persuasive or not coming from you……」

Reiri said that and glanced at Kizuna.

「Hm? What’s wrong Nee-chan?」

「N-no……it’s nothing.」

It doesn’t look like this girl will be able to marry for her whole life if she is like this──Nayuta thought with a smile.

「Then, let’s pull ourselves together and give the congratulatory address.」

Nayuta said that and took the lead.

「One, two」

「「「Congratulations for Sneakers Bunko’s 29th anniversary!!」」」
