N- Natsume

M- Madara/Nyanko-Sensei

Ki- Kitamoto

Ni- Nishimura

Fu- Fujiwara, Shigeru

To- Touko

[Living in this town, sometimes it hurts and I find myself unable to breathe.]

Ki+Ni: Happy birthday!

(sfx: whump, whump)

N- Eh? Wah—

N- Eh… Um, this…?

Ni- Today’s your birthday, right?

Ni- Congrats!

Ki- Those are presents from me and Nishimura. On the way back tomorrow, let’s go somewhere to eat and celebrate!

Ni- Hey, why don’t we go today?

Ki- Nah, today’s no good. The Fujiwara’s will definitely…  

Ni- Ah, I see! Yeah, you’re right.

(sfx: KIRAKIRASPARKLES; rustles)

(sfx: cough)

(sfx: snoring; pop; surprise)

M- *yawn* So you’re back, Natsume….

M- And, what’s with all that baggage.

(sfx: mosa *?*, yotata *door sliding open*)

N- They’re birthday presents that everyone got me. (Kitamoto and Nishimura and Tanuma and Taki and afterwards Natori-san…)

M- Birthday…?

M- Ahh, the human custom of celebrating the day you were born, huh…? (Nothing to eat?)

M- I see, so yours is today.

M- And,

M- What’s with that face?

N- B-because…

N- It’s the first time I’ve been able to celebrate like this….

N- Up until now I didn’t have any friends or

N- relatives too…

N- When you go to other houses to become extra baggage, something like presents are…

N- That’s why

N- You see…

N- I…

[…it hurts]

N- Wh…what should I do, Sensei?

[The inside of my chest is noisy and I can’t breathe well]

M- You really are an idiot, aren’t you. *sighs*

N- Sh-shut up!

[Even though I’m not sad]

M- You’re happy, aren’t you?

M- Then don’t think about such boring things and be happy about it.

[I want to cry]

M- That way you’ll be able to pay them back, right?

N- …it’d be hard to pay back the same amount…

To- Today is special!

To- So I made a feast~ (“gochisou yo!” Wasn’t quite sure how that’d translate)

To- Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to Takashi-kun~

To- Happy birthday, Takashi-kun!

Fu- Takashi

To- Thank you for coming to our place.

To- And for being here,

To- Thank you so much. 

N- …that’s, I should be the one to say than-

[It hurts]

N- S-sorry

N- That’s not right. Don’t apologize…

[Even though I want to say “thank you”…]

N- ….th….

(sfx: gata *clatter*; pon *pat*; biku *surprise*)

Fu- Before this feast we went through the trouble of making gets cold, let’s eat shall we?  

Fu- Happy birthday, Takashi.

[I’m so happy it hurts.]

[As I thought, just returning the same amount will be hard, Sensei.]

[I don’t know how I can return such feelings]

[But someday, I want to give it back]

[Even just little by little,]

[This happiness I’ve been given. This time I’ll give it back]

 [to the people who are important to me.]
