Ryuen's birthday celebration(Part-3)

After school, I went to Keyaki Mall at the time designated by Ishizaki.

"Tch... Is this a surprise?"

The restaurant door were brilliantly closed from outside.
From the inside, I can sense a large number of people.

"Hey, come on ────"

"Let's go, you guys !!"

The moment I opened the restaurant door, I heard Ishizaki's noisy voice and saw them holding something at me.

The next moment, I heard bursting sounds here and there, birthday crackers were shot at me.

"Happy birthday! Ryuen-san!"

"────────"

Ishizaki's annoying smile, Ibuki turned to me with a reluctant look, with an unprecedented smile on her face, and many other B-class students hit me with crackers.

"Congratulations, Ryuen-kun!"
"It's you're 17 years old, did you prepare properly for this day?"
"Ryuen-kun, today is a happy day. The food is ready. Let's eat it before it gets cold."
"Ryuen-kun! Thank you for helping us on the uninhabited island !!"

"Happy Birthday! Boss!"

Led by Alberto, I was headed to the table. After that, Komiya and Kaneda were cleaning the trash that came out of the crackers. The seats were seated, with a number of dishes lined up in a buffet style.

"Ryuen-kun, I'll bring you some food now! What do you want to eat !?"

"Anything is fine, I'm hungry for the time being."

"Okay !"

Ishizaki quickly headed for the buffet and brought the food. Others also look at Ishizaki and share their share one after another.

I didn't think this many people will come. Most of the boys in the class came, and some of the girls came.

"Why are you looking at me ?"

"Hiyori did you guys prepare all this ?"

"Ishizaki-kun took the lead, but Kaneda-kun planned the plan and the flow of the day, I gathered the people, and Alberto-kun and several others prepared the props like the crackers ."

"..."

"The class members are finally starting to recognize you ... Why don't you try to be honest with them Ryuen-kun?"

"Tch"

I know it.

"Sure, there were a lot of students who didn't agree with your way last year. I'm one of them, and only few people agreed to violence and threats but today it's different."

"What do you want to say"

"Look at them. Everyone gathered for Ryuen-kun today. If it's a birthday party for someone they really hate, will everyone come even if I or Ishizaki-kun invite me?"

Hiyori tells me to look at them.

"Sure, it doesn't look like last year."

"That's right"

"But it wasn't because I was the reason they became calm, because Hiyori and Ishizaki were organizing the class while I left the front line. I was only recognized for the first time when the foundation was laid. This is not my power. "

"Isn't it a classmate who supports each other?"

"..."

"As you say, I'm sure Ryuen-kun didn't have this many people last year, but everyone who longed for you and believed in you has already accepted Ryuen-kun as a classmate. ........ Please tell us your pure feelings now. "
