Chapter 230: Birthday at School

The preparation of the banquet continued without delay and with lightness.

With the help of Thea as kitchen assistant everything advanced easily.

And it is not that it is a Grand banquet. They are only dishes based on meats and accompaniments in vegetables and salads.

Looking out the window already contemplating the rays of the sun I could feel that the hour of the Serpent was ending.

Today there is free time to have lunch at noon so I am on time to decorate the two cakes.

"Is that like snow?" Thea next to me said while looking at the meringue that was fluffing up in a bowl between my arm like a white foam.

"Do not touch or it will collapse! Do you not know meringue?" I moved the bowl aside to prevent Thea from putting in the finger that she was already stretching.

When preparing meringue many times it has deflated due to excess sugar and cut due to excess lemon. Meringue is the most important part of a birthday cake and it is also the most delicate part to prepare or it is easily ruined.

"Does it melt like snow if you touch it? But, does it not taste bad? I only saw that it is egg and the white part of the egg and Jambira juice"

"It tastes very good, and sometimes it is the most delicious part of the cake. You will see now that I put Iiyoh, Melirubis and ..."

Beating egg white to make meringue is very easy in this world, I only have to create a small tornado with wind magic.

"Oh~ it is like the Color Cloud that is made by beating egg, and this meringue will also be baked with the fluffy bread cake?"

"You are talking about the Soufflé. It is different and the meringue is only spread on the cake. By the way, help me to cut the bread in half to be able to fill it..."

After another small circle of time, two medium cakes rested on the kitchen counter. One with a blue meringue with small white lightning bolts drawn and another with one half golden and white with sun rays and the other half with a lunar silver with chocolate black designs.

"Perfect! I am not a professional pastry chef but I feel proud of my creation~" I said while passing the back of my hand over my forehead as if to dry the sweat and then I put a pose of a man of honor with my chest raised and my back straight.

"Hehehe~"

"What?"

"Hehehe~ The professional pastry chef has meringue on his forehead~"

"Ah yes? Well my assistant is not left behind!" My hands stained with meringue attacked Thea trying to stain her too.

Although Thea is not so clean, she has a little flour and sugar on her clothes.

After playing a little with Thea, she and I stored all the food in containers to then store it in my backpack. Perfect time to change clothes since my pants and sweatshirt are a little stained with ingredients.

Although I can use magic to clean myself...

A silver sparrow with an aura of darkness flew towards me and delivered a small note.

"The class has just ended and there is free time. Do you still have time left Thea? I have been occupying you all this time."

"I still have about ten degrees left" Thea said while with a kitchen cloth she cleaned her glasses.

"Perfect!~ Let me help you" After storing everything in my backpack, I approached Thea and helped her clean and fix herself.

Thea does not have a backpack like me. If anything Thea’s backpack can be a degree better than Destan’s. So I do not think Thea brings a complete extra set.

I realize this because if Thea has a backpack with a large storage space she would not be carrying books and scrolls in her arms herself.

With a little wind and water magic Thea’s clothes look as if they were freshly washed.

To prevent Thea from refusing, at the same time I also used my magic to clean my clothes and my body.

A few minutes later, Thea and I were as if we had just left our houses.

"Ready~. Let’s go!"

"Eh? Me too?"

"Of course~. You did not help me for nothing, at least I owe you this banquet" Taking Thea’s hand we left the secret wooden cabin-house of the forest.

After walking for a while without letting go of Thea’s hand we arrived at my classroom.

Everyone was already waiting.

"Vrem..."

"Vremya!!! I missed you~" Interrupting Magen who raised her hand and could only say half of my name, a small golden copper shadow ran and jumped into my arms.

Thanks to reacting in time I was not knocked back to the floor and I managed to hold him.

"Freyr, are you not being too spoiled?" I said barely holding Freyr by the waist who simply hugged me and buried his face in my chest and rubbed causing me tickles.

"Nn~. A week without my Vremya was so boring... Sniff~ sniff~ Vremya’s aroma is the best~"

"Hey you! What right do you have to monopolize Vremya! Let him go!!" Kjell arrived later and taking Freyr by the clothes from the back separated him from me.

"Hello Vrem!" Leif arrived to one side and greeted me at a friendly distance.

Although in Leif’s eyes I can see that he also wants to have direct contact like Freyr does but his shyness prevents him.

"Hello Leif" I am not shy at all. A man is not afraid to hug another man... But Leif, if your face turns red it does not help...

"Hey Vremya! Vremya, is it true that you are going to celebrate the birth day of Magen and Xifia?" The girl who, after Magen, is a rowdy one greeted me and asked me.

"Hello Thaleia. Yes, today is a celebration. Since we have been on a quest it could not be celebrated before"

"AHHH!! I want a boyfriend who does that for me!"

"Why does she have so much luck?"

"Will it be because she is stupid that the sky helps her?"

"I feel like hitting her!"

"..."

After I answered Thaleia’s question, all the girls in the group started to give screams of agony and complaints...

"HEY! Who was the one who said I am stupid!" Then Magen also started with her usual rowdiness.

"If you start a fight I will take you all back to the practice field and there will be no celebration!" Then Professor Rudelle appeared and managed to calm everyone down.

Because of Professor Rudelle’s good attitude it was not a waste of time to prepare a birthday cake for her~.

Since the girls in my group already knew Thea it was easy to introduce her and make her integrate.

Thea is a new entry girl who comes from the countryside, to my surprise none of the girls in my group treated her badly nor did any discrimination happen like in my previous world and instead she was well received.

With the help of Thea, Kjell, Freyr, Leif and Xifia a couple of tables were organized to place the food dishes and the two cakes.

"Woaaa! This is very pretty~ ~" Freyr upon seeing the cakes his eyes shone and extended his fingers.

Luckily I was already prepared. It is common that there will always be someone who wants to steal meringue from the cake with their fingers.

"Do not ruin it! After eating the birthday song is sung and then the cake can be cut"

"Birthday song?"

"What is a birthday song?"

"It is a song that celebrates someone’s birthday..."

"Vremya, where do you get so many things from?" Nefertri, a girl who fights with a dark sword and a black book said.

I could see that Destan also looked at me in a strange way. If no one in this world has events similar to those of my previous world it would be strange that an -Isekai- person did not notice the strangeness.

I can understand it if it were -Christmas-. That would indeed be strange to celebrate in this world, since, the nativity of what -Messiah- are you celebrating!?

But the birthday celebration is very easy~.

"What is strange about it? My mother has always celebrated my birthday every year, she gives me gifts and grants me a wish whatever I want that day..." I responded returning the look of strangeness to everyone.

"Uhnmm.... Vremya is right... My parents also prepare a banquet for me on the day of my birth. They say it is the happiest day of their lives. Although that enrages my older sisters... Leif?" Kjell, with a finger on his lips thought and said.

"Mm. My parents also make a dinner on the day I was born, but they do not grant me a wish they only give me gifts." Leif responded.

"Mm! Mm! Me too! Vremya, when will you celebrate my birthday party of Freyr?" Freyr nodded his head and then asked me.

"Of course on your birthday. Or if it cannot be that day, a nearby day. As in the case of Magen who is a day after and Xifia who is a day before...."

"Hey! Hey! Vrem! And can I also ask for a wish?" Then Magen said.

"Yes. When the birthday song is sung, the candles are lit and a wish is made by blowing out the candles! But you do not have to say it or else it will not come true~"

While we were eating I was telling the rituals and events in a birthday celebration. Of course, always with the excuse that it was my mother who invented them. Although each event was gradually given throughout the years of my new life in this world.

Before the celebrations were boring, although I was only a baby and could not say anything. But as I grew up all these events and rituals were invented that even my sisters came out winning and celebrating their birthdays.

I also pointed out that the blue cake with white lightning bolts is for the celebration of Professor Rudelle who remained frozen for a moment and then, under Magen’s words of turning eighty years old, she got angry and hit Magen on the head saying that she is only a little over thirty years old.

They also asked me and I had to explain where I knew the birthdays of Magen and the others. And, it seems that I forgot the drinks and some girls had to go to the cafeteria to buy various glasses of juices.

To Magen and Xifia I gave each a bracelet made with pearls from the white wood of the spaceship that I had taken the time to carve.

The bracelets have auxiliary magic spells. My grades in enchantment classes are good.

Since I did not know Professor Rudelle’s birthday I had to take out some of my leather boots that I had not used as a gift. They are magic boots that adjust to each one’s foot size and are not feminine so Professor Rudelle can wear them calmly.

I swear, the boots are new and I have never used them.

Thea had to leave because she had classes after noon so I had to say goodbye to her outside the classroom. I must maintain more communication with Thea, it is my mental note.

And so, the small birthday celebration ended in the school when the general mathematics professor arrived. A man who is not a Summoner Warrior but is a scholar hired for his knowledge, especially in mathematics that even in this world continue to be important.

Although a little of his class time was lost, the mathematics professor was not bothered because he ate a little cake that to my no surprise he loved.

Thinking about it, perhaps the next birthday celebration in the school should make pizza. Hamburgers would also be good.

The next one to have a birthday is Dianeira in the Moon of Renaissance. But the bad thing is that she turns before the start of classes and there are a couple of weeks of unique vacations in the entire school year.

Kara is until the Moon of Soft Shadows which is the sixth month and Tikshna until the eighth month the Moon of the Sacred Mist...

Wow, it seems that this year I wasted many birthdays this year that passed... But they cannot blame me, I did not know anyone’s birthdays yet...

By the way, what day does Destan have his birthday? Will he use his birth date on the Blue Aqua World or will he place his birth date on the day he became -Isekai- and arrived in this world?
