After opening the presents, we enjoyed dinner and the cake.
There was also a surprise.
Before the night came to a close, more students stopped by with gifts for Norn.
They seem to have bought them in a hurry after hearing about Norn's 15th birthday.
Many people came.
Meeting me, some faces turned blue, but I finished things without any trouble using a shining Rudeus-brand smile.
After all, a smile is the best welcome.
... Sorry, that's a lie.
The moment they saw my smile, they tried to escape.
Sylphy caught them, and had them bring their gifts to Norn, so things ended without any trouble...
That's just rude, guys.
Probably because she got gifts from so many people, Norn's pile of gifts gradually became a mountain.
Compared to Aisha, who only had gifts from our family.
Aisha smiled at that,
a fake smile, masking her discomfort.
Other than me, nobody has noticed Aisha's forced smile.
Maybe I'm just overinterpreting, Aisha might not care.
I wonder if I should discuss it with Sylphy...
While I was thinking.
Suddenly, I heard something from the front door.
I heard a large commotion, and Leo barking.
"I wonder what it is..."
Eris grimly picks up her sword from the corner of the room.
I wonder if Orsted came.
No, there are a lot of people.
Orsted wouldn't bring so many people.
While thinking that, I went to the front door.
When I went outside, I saw a huge number of bad guys.
