Toi: Happy Birthday Nagi-kun! We love you 💖
Ryui: Happy B Day, show some energy. 🐙
Netaro: Birthday Boy 🌟🌟🌟
Yodaka: All happiness on your birthday ✨
Oshisha: My pet ➡️
Fun fact the rat ears doodled on Nagi is in reference to his radio persona named 'Nure Nezumi' meaning Drowned Rat!
Nagi: Haa.....
Boy: Mama, that man on the swing set has been staring at the ground for so long now.
Mother of the boy: It's not good to stare, we should leave him alone.
Nagi: I couldn't tell anyone it was my birthday today in the end.
Nagi: The "Random Present System"... I wonder if I was counted in it too.
Nagi: I'm sure the person who was selected to gift me a present has been decided, but no one actually knows it's my birthday today.... Besides, it must have been a hassle to get me something when the system was only just implemented....
Nagi: ...... Well, I guess it's fine even if my birthday isn't celebrated.
Nagi: Sonia sent me off with a smile and told me to enjoy the party, so I can't just go back to the shop now. I'll just return to Hama House, take a nice hot bath and sleep.
Nagi: I'm ba...ck?
Ryui: Finally! Where the hell were you off to all this time? You're late!
Nagi: Huh? Um, I'm... sorry?
Momiji: Welcome back, Nagi-kun.
Yodaka: We were just about to set off to find you.
Yodaka: It wouldn't do for the birthday boy to be absent for his own party, now would it?
Nagi: But I thought no one knew my birthday...
Netaro: What a silly goose you are Gii~ Surely you must remember the fact that you had to note down your birthday on your profile.
Momiji: It was in the company's documents too.
Nagi: Ah... you're right.
Toi: Ushio-kun prepared the cake -"Blooming Happiness ⭐ Full Bloom Flower Cake"! The flowers on top of the icing are all edible, isn't that amazing?
Nagi: Not just that, the entire table is packed with all kinds of food...
Nagi: You prepared all this... for me...?
Momiji: Nagi-kun, I've prepared a ton of vases so I can receive as many flowers as you want to give me later, so enjoy tonight as much as you want!
Nagi: ....!!
Everyone at Hama Tours: Happy Birthday!!
Renga: As fellow team leaders... let's do our best to get along and hype up HAMA.
Renga: This pink rose is my birthday gift for you.
Renga: It's thanks to your advice that my roses grew so beautifully, so you can have this one.
Nagi: ....hic.....
Renga: ...Wait, huh!? Are you crying!?
Ten: Ah... look at those tears. Renga-san, how could you do that to him....
Renga: Is this my fault!?
Renga: It's not like it's something specia- I mean, I did put a lot of thought into it, but!
Renga: O-Oi, stop crying already...!
Nagi: ....hic, I've never seen such a beautiful rose before. It's the most beautiful one in the world, no, in this entire galaxy!
Renga: I-Is that so...!
Muneuji: Hachinoya-san, please accept this watering can from me. I hope you can make use of it at your store. I wish for 'Flower Laundry' to continue to flourish and prosper.
Nagi: I-I promise to make my store one that everyone loves for the next 1000 years.
Liguang: ... He keeps crying every time someone greets him.
Ryui: He's a pain...
Nagi: Liguang-san, and Ryui... Even the two of you prepared a present for me?
Liguang: That's right. Grease and cloth included, I've prepared a maintenance tool set that you can use on your beloved bike.
Nagi: Thank you very much....
Ryui: This is a little something to ward of bad luck.
Nagi: Band-aids? It's even got a nice design...
Ryui: It's because you keep getting hurt all the time and getting Toi all worried. And stop bawling so much it's gross.
Nagi: ... Thank you for getting someone like me a gift. It's the first time my birthday's been celebrated like this...
Chihiro: Oh em gee, isn't Nagipeko crying a lil too much tho? You'll shrivel up at this rate!
Nagi: It'll be ok if I drink water right after letting it out.
Raito: Haha, guess I should prepare a pitcher for you in that case.
Nagi: I would really appreciate that.
Nagi: I want to give back all this gratitude I'm feeling. So that all of you can smile just like I am-
Nagi: I'll do a stand-up comedy right now.
Momiji: Eh, all of a sudden?
Tao: That's not what I was expecting from that speech!
Nagi: Even if you feel like cringing, please don't look away. I'd like you to accept my honest feelings of gratitude.
Momiji: Huh, wait, Nagi-kun...!
Nagi: Presenting my short skit, "How I surprised myself on my own Birthday."

Nagi: …What should I do? Hachinoya Nagi, you’re facing the most important event of your Ward Mayor life…
Nagi: (I wonder if this is how scriptwriters usually feel before a deadline. Even though I haven’t come up with a single idea for that event, dumb thoughts like “I think I’ll make mixed rice for dinner” keep popping into my head one after another.)
Shunin: Nagi-kun, are you alright?
Daniel: You hangin’ in there, Nagi?
Nagi: Ah, Shunin and Buchi-san… And everyone else too.
Toi: Kiro-chan said you’d been glued to the couch all afternoon and hadn’t moved an inch, so we got worried and came to check on you.
Netaro: You’re just like a Jizo [1] statue. Gii-zo ♪
Ryui: Oi, quit making Toi and Kiro worry about you.
Yodaka: Is something on your mind? If you’d like, we’d be happy to listen.
Nagi: Ziiiiing. Everyone’s kindness is permeating every fiber of my being.
Nagi: The truth is…. I haven’t been able to come up with any ideas for the mahorova BD event.
Daniel: Ah, the project started by the president, right?
Shunin: Well, since it’s being held at mahorova, you can technically do anything, but maybe having that level of freedom makes it hard to decide.
Shunin: Kafka said that what really matters is the spirit of hospitality. So… I think it’s good for you to just do what you want, Nagi-kun.
Nagi: …Right. Sonia said the same thing when I discussed it with her at the shop.
Nagi: So, at first, I wanted to create a peaceful space where you could nap or relax while surrounded by flowers blooming from all seasons with the sound of the washing machine humming in the background, but —
Ryui: That’s literally just your shop.
Nagi: Yeah. I thought so too and scrapped the idea in about eight seconds.
Netaro: Well, it can’t be helped~ Here comes my moment to shine with a stroke of genius!
Yodaka: Oh? Do you have an idea?
Netaro: Yes! I read about it in a book, but there's apparently an invention that can wash people. How about using that for your hospitality, Gii?
Nagi: Washing people…… what do you mean by that?
Netaro: Toss a person in whole, and they come out sparkling clean! All the worries and pain swirling in your gut? Gone without a trace! And as a bonus, every memory since you were born disappears too! ♪
Toi: Huh…!? All my memories too!?
Nagi: …….
Nagi: …That could work.
Shunin: (Has Nagi-kun been thinking so hard that he lost the ability to make normal judgments?!)
Ryui: What the hell do you mean!? Get your shit together, Hachinoya!
Nagi: Ow.
Nagi: …………Ohhh.
Ryui: What?
Nagi: —This is it.
Nagi: A numbing head chop — or rather, a sharp tsukkomi comeback. Thank you, Ryui.
Nagi: I’ve decided on the hospitality I want to provide.
📍 Backstage
Shunin: A comedy stage that’s always running an act, huh?
Shunin: (How should I put it… I guess you could say it’s something only Nagi-kun would do…)
Toi: Woah. That’s a tight schedule… And almost all of it’s you, Nagi-kun. Will you be alright?
Nagi: I’ll be fine. Everyone from the Night Team and people from the other teams will be taking the stage too, so I’ll rest while they're on.
Nagi: I can do it. Please let me.
Ryui: Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, give it everything you’ve got.
Shunin: We’ll back you up so that you can stand on stage till the end, Nagi-kun. Do your best!
Nagi: Mm. Everyone….. I look forward to working with you today.

Part 1
📍 Vacant Lot
Nagi: I never would have thought there would be a pitfall trap in a place like this… It’s such an open, flat area, and yet I didn’t notice at all. It must have been made by professionals, like those from a hidden camera prank show.
Shunin: It’s good that you were able to get out safely… Are you okay? You’re not hurt, are you?
Nagi: Mhm, I’m okay. Thanks for lending me a hand.
Nagi: I’ll fill in the pit later so that no one else falls in.
Shunin: Your clothes and shoes are all muddy. Why don’t we head back for now?
Nagi: Mm… I’ll show you the ropes some other time. I’m just glad the souvenir is safe.
Shunin: Souvenir?
Nagi: While weeding, I was making a wreath with white clover. I was thinking of decorating the dorm’s door with it. Here it is…
Shunin: Wow, that’s amazing! What a lovely wreath. How nostalgic… When I was little, I made one with my sibling too.
Shunin: I made them into bracelets and crowns. Though, I wasn’t as skilled as you, Nagi-kun.
Nagi: Then…
Nagi: Shunin, give me your finger.
Shunin: My finger? Like this?
Shunin: (He’s holding… a white clover ring?)
Nagi: The pinky… is too loose, so the finger next to it… Mm, that’s perfect.
Nagi: As thanks for saving me from the pit…and, to show my usual gratitude.
Nagi: … No, scratch that. That was a bit too childish. Instead, I’ll take something more practical out of my wallet now, so please wait a bit…
Shunin: N-No need! Then it’ll become extortion!
Shunin: This ring makes me really happy! Thank you so much.
Nagi: …My pleasure.
📍HAMA House Living Room
Shunin: I’m back~.
Nagi: I’m home.
Toi: Ah, welcome back!
Toi: …This is it, Netaro-san! The iconic scene that would be remembered in JPN romance drama history!
Netaro: Hoooh-, so the protagonist in this cafe scene is wrapping a straw wrapper around his lover’s ring finger. What’s that supposed to mean, exactly??
Toi: He’s pretending it’s just a game, but he’s actually measuring the ring finger. He’s planning to prepare an engagement ring later and surprise his lover with it!
Netaro: What a roundabout lad~! One could just ask for the size directly, no?
Toi: That won’t make for a good drama. This is a common trope in romance dramas.
Netaro: Humans are peculiar and complicated creatures indeed~!
I’m curious to see how this guy’s love story will unfold!
Nagi: ……

Nagi: The pinky… is too loose, so the finger next to it… Mm, that’s perfect.
📍HAMA House Bedroom
Nagi: Ah, wh—whh—wha………….
Yodaka: ! Nagi?
Nagi: (In other words, I’ve become the kind of guy in romance dramas who, under the pretext of thanking someone for saving me, secretly measures their ring finger size…)
Nagi: (If I try to explain now… No, that might just make things worse…Shunin doesn’t think of it that way. Probably. Surely. But—)
Yodaka: You’re hiding under the futon, what’s the matter?
Nagi: I-I’m…okay.
Nagi: (What…have I done. I want to crawl into a hole—)

📍 Public Park
Shunin: (...Alright. That wraps up the rounds to the ad agencies.)
Shunin: (Maybe I’ll go eat lunch somewhere? Or should I head back to HAMA House for now…)
Boy with shaved head: Wow! The ‘Weed Fairy’ really exists!
Boy with glasses: It wasn’t an urban legend after all! Hey, let’s go see the fairy one more time!
[The boys run off.]
Shunin: (The ‘Weed Fairy’...?)
Shunin: ……
📍 Vacant Lot
Boy with shaved head: Hey, did you see that!?
Boy with glasses: I saw it, I saw it! Normally the roots would be left behind and it’d just snap, but to pull them out so cleanly at that speed…!
Boy with shaved head: That’s something else! Seriously, that godlike skill is so awesome—!
Shunin: (This is Ward 16…. Could it be that the ‘Weed Fairy’ is—)
Nagi: ……
Shunin: (I knew it! It was about Nagi-kun.)
Nagi: ………………
Shunin: (That’s certainly a 'godlike skill'…..! Such an efficient, adept handling. The grass is swiftly being pulled out with the perfect amount of force…..)
Nagi: …..Ah, Shunin.
Shunin: ! Hello, Nagi-kun. I’m sorry for staring at you.
Shunin: I just happened to pass by, I was so amazed by your godlike skill that I forgot to say hi…..
Nagi: 'Godlike skill'…..?
Shunin: You’re weeding the grass, aren’t you? If you’d like, shall I help out a little too?
Nagi: Huh? No, I’m doing this on my own, so I can’t trouble you with it, Shunin.
Shunin: It’s alright. I just wrapped up some work, so I’m taking a small break now. I'd like to master the secret art of weeding with you, Nagi-kun.
Nagi: 'Godlike skill’, ‘secret art’..... I didn’t expect my personal and plain hobby to be praised so highly.
Nagi: It’s not anything as grand as a secret art, but I might be able to teach you some tips and tricks.
Shunin: Yes! Master, I am in your care!
Nagi: Mm, the pleasure is mine.
Nagi: Well then, let’s focus on this untouched area. The ground should be soft after the rain, so the weeds should be easier to pull out.
Nagi: When weeding, it’s important to pull out the roots. For large ones that have grown fully, use a shovel or something like that to dig them up.
Shunin: I see…!
Nagi: Ah, wait a moment. I have some spare gloves in my bag, I’ll go get them.
