As night fell, Midoriya closed its doors.
However, unlike usual, today Midoriya was brightly lit and unusually lively.
"Happy Birthday!"
Seeing Fate and Elysia, Illya handed over her gift with a cheerful smile. She gifted them two half-human-sized lion dolls, which looked adorably furry.
"Thank you, Sister Illya!"
Elysia happily received the doll and hugged it tightly.
"It's so cute. I'll take good care of it. What about you, Fate?"
"Ah, well, I will too..."
In response to Elysia's query, Fate appeared a bit flustered, but with a slight blush, she also accepted the lion doll Illya offered.
"Originally, Little Hei and I were going to give one each, but since Little Hei went out with Master, I'm delivering it on her behalf."
"So the teacher really won't come?"
Upon hearing this, Fate seemed somewhat disappointed, and seeing her expression, Illya realized she had misspoken and quickly waved her hand.
