A gentle rain was falling.

Cold raindrops tapped against the window, shattering into crystalline splashes. Accompanied by the soft sound of the wind, they brought with them a hint of coolness.

Inside the magus's workshop, a quiet, cheerful atmosphere was present.

Aozaki Rin placed several prepared party poppers in suitable positions, while at both ends of the workshop room, Touko and Alice each stood on a chair, hanging a banner that read "Happy Birthday" on the wall.

"Alright, with this, all the preparations are done. Now we just have to wait for Aoko to come back."

Seeing the workshop, which should have been filled with the atmosphere of a laboratory, now looking so lively, Touko couldn't help but smile helplessly.

It wasn't that she disliked having her workshop in this state; she just felt it was a bit too flashy.

But since this was Aozaki Rin's idea, she didn't refuse. After all, if Aoko's birthday party was prepared so meticulously, then given the boy's personality, when her own birthday came around, it probably wouldn't be much different from this.

Thinking of this, Touko didn't mind the decorations at all.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Touko, Sister Alice. I'll be responsible for cleaning all this up after the party is over. Also, thank you, Sister Alice, for coming specially to celebrate my sister's birthday."

Aozaki Rin brought two cups of black tea to the two of them, thanking them seriously.

In fact, when he had first invited Alice, he had thought that with her personality of disliking crowds, she wouldn't attend such an event.

Who would have known that after considering for a while, the girl had suddenly stated a date? It was only after Aozaki Rin realized that the date was the girl's own birthday and, in response, promised to give her a birthday present when the time came, that Alice had rarely agreed to attend Aoko's birthday party, leaving Rin slightly surprised.

But this was, all in all, a good thing. After all, the thought of himself and his two sisters having a joyous birthday while Alice was all alone in her "ghostly mansion" made Aozaki Rin feel that it was a bit too lonely, which was why he had come up with the idea of inviting her this time.

"It's nothing. But at this time, Aoko isn't back yet?"

Glancing at the clock and seeing that it was long past the time when a normal middle school student would be out of school, Alice sat down on the sofa in the workshop and casually took out a book she had brought with her.

"Considering the time, she should be here soon. After all, this place isn't like our old home. there's still a mountain path to walk, and it's raining today, so it will probably take a little longer than usual."

Touko answered with a light laugh, but her pretty face was tinged with some vexation.

After all, a month ago, the Aozaki family mansion had been destroyed due to Nero Chaos, and it was still under reconstruction.

And her parents, who had been away on business, had returned to find their home simply gone. After being informed of what had happened, they had simply decided to have their wedding anniversary early, leaving their three children behind and running off on a honeymoon.

So it was only natural that life afterward had become a "troublesome" one where she, Aozaki Rin, and Aoko were all squeezed into the magus's workshop.

But it wasn't that Touko disliked having Aozaki Rin around; she just felt that her little sister Aoko was too restless when she slept at night. If she wasn't careful, Aoko would easily move around, which had been affecting the quality of her own sleep recently.

Of course, Aozaki Rin was also troubled by this, but the boy was not the type to complain about such things, which was why Aoko had remained oblivious.

The room, now decorated for the birthday party, fell silent again. The three people currently in the workshop were not of a particularly lively disposition, so they each went about their own business, patiently waiting for the "star" of the party to arrive.

It was only after a dozen or so minutes that a familiar sound of footsteps came from the corridor. Aozaki Rin was the first to pick up a party popper and stand up. Along with Touko and Alice, he stood near the door, just as they had rehearsed.

The moment the door was slid open, the three of them pulled the strings on their party poppers at the same time and wished her in unison.

"Happy Birthday, Sister (Aoko)!" x3

Although she had been mentally prepared, at this moment, the grandeur of the welcoming ceremony still startled Aoko. It was a long while before she came back to her senses and smiled, a little embarrassed.

"...Thank you. But I didn't expect you to come too, Alice..."

"What, am I not allowed to come?"

The cold words from the girl who was like a witch from another world made a flash of embarrassment cross Aoko's face.

"No, that's not what I meant..."

"Alright, we can talk about this later. Come in first."

Seeing that Aoko was still standing at the door without entering the room, Touko reminded her.

But at that moment, Aoko seemed to have a headache, holding her forehead as she said helplessly.

"Let's wait a bit. That stinky old geezer has lost his mind or something. He told me on my way back to notify you and go with you to the back hills. I guess the cake will have to wait a while before we can cut it."

"...Now?"

Touko frowned, thought for a moment, not understanding why her grandfather would want to see her and Aoko at a time like this.

"Yeah, he's probably going to say some inexplicable things again, but we have to go first anyway. I'm sorry, Rin, the cake will have to wait a bit. If you really can't wait, you and Alice can go ahead and cut it first."

Seeing that Aozaki Rin, wearing his glasses, was already about to take out the cake and place it on the table, Aoko put her hands together in apology, her voice tinged with a hint of resentment toward a certain old man.

"It's fine. If Grandpa has something to attend to, then you and Sister Touko should go take care of it first."

Aozaki Rin blinked, slightly puzzled, but quickly shook his head, signaling for Aoko not to worry. Alice, at the side, had already opened her book and started reading, clearly intending to wait for the two to return before continuing with the birthday celebration.

"Then Big Sis and I will be back as quickly as we can."

Leaving behind these words, Aoko and Touko each took an umbrella, closed the door, and left the workshop.

"By the way, have you prepared for Rin's birthday present? Do you know how you're going to act?"

On the way to the back hills, as if remembering something, Touko asked with a light laugh.

"Don't talk about it! It's all your fault for telling me in advance... Do you think if I just scream in surprise later, Rin won't think that his gift was exposed beforehand?"

Aoko sighed with a troubled expression, her heart beginning to tense up a little, as if rehearsing in her mind.

"You were the one who asked at the time, it's not like I insisted on telling you."

The corners of Touko's lips curled up in a slightly mischievous smile, amusement in her eyes.

To be honest, in the past, she had never imagined that her life would turn out like this.

After all, since she was young, she had strived as a magus with the goal of inheriting the True Magic. Even though her relationship with her little sister was not bad, she had never thought that her daily life would be so close to that of an ordinary person.

And such a change could only be attributed to Aozaki Rin.

Because before the boy came to the Aozaki household, no one would have asked, "Since Sister Touko is also family, why don't you live with us?"—a question that was perhaps very "abnormal" for a magus family.

But all in all, Touko didn't dislike this kind of life. In her heart, she felt that it might not be so bad to continue like this...

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of a hidden cave in the back hills. Touko and Aoko closed their umbrellas, walked in together, and soon saw an old man sitting in the deepest part of the cave, his eyes closed as if feigning sleep.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, old man. I have to get back to cut the cake."

Although he was her grandfather, there was not a trace of politeness in Aoko's words. But since the old man's personality was too strange in the girl's eyes, and he had never objected to the way she addressed him, Aoko had developed this habit, her pretty face filled with annoyance.

However, the old man truly did not mind Aoko's rudeness. He opened his eyes, and his azure eyes, which held a deep, all-seeing quality, gazed at the two sisters before him and spoke slowly.

"Touko, after some consideration, I've decided that you are, after all, not suited to inherit the Magic."

"Let Aoko be the heir of the Aozaki family."

The simple words, like a final judgment, drifted faintly through the cave.
