“Do I need to join such a birthday party?”
Looking at the invitation letter, Arthur shook his head lightly. He had absolutely no interest in attending such a formal ceremony. But just as he was about to refuse, the young man felt two gazes directed at him. Glancing towards Nanami and Jotaro who had sparkling eyes, the corner of his lips twitched.
“What's with you guys?”
“You will attend the party right, Boss?”
“You will come with me right, Master?”
Seeing the two, Arthur let out a long sigh.
“Why should I follow you guys?”
Hearing Arthur's question, Nanami felt somewhat embarrassed. Scratching the back of his head and turning his gaze, he said.
“I never attend parties with others. Despite being asked to come, there I did not get any interlocutors. So if you can, I want to come to the party with you, Guru.”
“I've never participated in such a big party, Boss. If you come, I could come as your bodyguard. This is an opportunity!”
Seeing those two pairs of star-filled eyes, Arthur let out a long sigh. He didn't expect to actually have to come along with an event like this. But when he found out the two were desperate for him to attend the party, he ended up nodding lightly.
“Good. Then I'll come along. But don't force me to do anything weird. I also don't want to see you guys perform shamefully, understand?”
“Good!” answer them both in unison.
At the sight of the two of them, he somehow felt that Nanami and Jotaro seemed unreliable. This certainly makes him feel tired. It feels like a babysitter taking care of two troubled children.
‘Truly troublesome!’

Next day.
“Is it okay for practice holidays, Guru?” ask Nanami.
“Of course this is more important. Although I don't really care about glamorous clothes or anything like that, I want you to wear decent clothes when attending a party.
A dress with some patches and a worn priest's robe? Don't joke with me.”
Not to mention, Arthur has obtained 2 cockatrice and 4 black orchid chicken from Takahide. The young man felt embarrassed if he did not want to spend a little money on his benefactor's daughter. So she finally decided to buy clothes for both of them.
Arthur takes the two to the city, rushing straight to the best clothing store in town.
Entering the store, they were clearly in the spotlight. Seeing Arthur and Jotaro's unusual appearance, the store manager immediately went out to meet them.
“Is there anything I can help you with, Gentlemen?”
“Show the best clothes in this store and choose the most suitable for us three.”
“...”
The store manager felt confused, even many people in the store were confused. But after an hour, the manager walked out of the store while continuing to bow with a smile on his face. He really did not expect that Arthur was a big customer, directly buying six expensive clothing suits without much picky.
Instantly ask to adjust the size for a while, pay, then leave!
After buying clothes, they immediately went to buy footwear, perfume, and lastly bought gifts for Nanami's cousin, Princess King Fuji who was about to celebrate her birthday.
As a former bandit, Jotaro really felt the way Arthur spent money was too excessive. He's never seen anything like it. Even as the King's nephew, Nanami had never seen that much money. Perhaps the money in Arthur's pocket was the most he had seen in his entire life.
After shopping, they immediately returned to handle the items they bought. In addition, Arthur also had to make something with the materials he bought. The young man intended to carry out the craft as a birthday gift.
This certainly makes Nanami feel a bit jealous because her teacher seems to care about her cousin very much!

Without notice, the day passed and the birthday party would begin.
On a bright night full of stars and lanterns, Arthur exits his room. Now she was wearing black clothes with a picture of purple wisteria. The beautiful clothes made her even more striking. Despite wearing a black eye patch, the good looks of the young man did not diminish. Instead, he became even more mysterious.
The somewhat long black hair that was tied back was blown away by the wind. Arthur walked in silence, ignoring those who had been staring at him but did not dare to approach. Stifling inwardly, the young man complained inwardly.
‘Birthday party, huh? Really troublesome.’
While thinking about some random things, Arthur disappeared in the hallway. Go straight to the location where the party is held.
