Chapter 40 Manually Increase Participation

09:46pm.

Bunkyo District.

Kawahara's motorcycle sped along.

Although for him who once worked hard in the city that never sleeps, this time is not late at all, and it is even a little early for him to get home from get off work.

But in this day and age, and in a society that still faces the threat of "unconfirmed life forms", this time is already quite late.

The celebration should have started a long time ago, right?
He was originally thinking about buying a birthday present on the way, but it turned out that except for the 24-hour convenience store, no other stores along the way were open.

Kawahara simply gave up and hurried back to PolePole Cafe.

When he approached the cafe, he saw Yusuke Godai lying on a motorcycle and writing something at the door of the store.

Why are you outside?
The roar of the approaching motorcycle naturally attracted Godai Yusuke's attention. He turned around and immediately showed surprise: "Ah! Mr. Kawahara is back!"

Kawahara parked the motorcycle beside him, got off and took off his helmet, looked at Godai Yusuke in confusion and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Because Xiao Min said that the children haven't seen me for a long time and seem to miss me, but I will be very busy tomorrow, so I thought of writing something for the children!"

Yusuke Godai looked at him, smiled brightly, and took out the greeting card he had just made.

Yusuke Godai's sister, Minoru Godai, currently works as a childcare worker at a childcare center in Wakaba, Tokyo, so Yusuke Godai, who visits her frequently, is also very familiar with the children there.

This guy is better at coaxing children than his sister.

But Kawahara's problem is not this.

He hesitated and said, "Today..."

Before we parted in the afternoon, they said that today was Yusuke Godai's birthday and that we were going to hold a celebration party for him in the cafe. But now, in the middle of the night, this guy is standing alone outside the store, blowing in the cold wind?
Godai Yusuke probably understood what he meant, so he put the greeting card away, scratched his head and said, "Everyone is almost ready!"

"Ah?" Kawahara was even more confused.

"Since Mr. Kawahara is coming too, we thought we should go in together to greet him!" said Yusuke Godai with a smile.

"..."

Kawahara was speechless and looked at him even more confused.

——It’s your birthday, not mine!
Godai Yusuke just smiled and said, "Of course it's better to participate in this kind of thing together!"

As he spoke, he walked towards the cafe, pushing the door open with the still dazed Kawahara, and the bustling atmosphere inside immediately hit them.

Not many people, but great atmosphere.

The lights in the cafe are very warm at night.

Two girls were cooking and chatting behind the bar, while the store manager, Shizuo Yu, was hanging balloons on the wall. When he saw Yusuke Godai and Kawahara come in, he called out.

"Oh, you're finally back! We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Uh... Manager, it's Godai's birthday, right?"

Kawahara looked at him in a daze.

"Of course!"

Shikadama Saburo looked as if he didn't understand what he was asking. He hung up the balloons and walked down from the stool. He picked up a salute on the table and put it into Kawahara's hand. Then he greeted the two girls behind the bar.

"Yingzi, and Xiao Minoru, hurry up and get ready, they're back!"

"Eh?"

"Wait...it's coming!"

Two girls also hurriedly came out from behind the bar, each holding a salute in their hands, and stood in a very formal row at the entrance.

Kawahara turned around and saw that Yusuke Godai was still standing at the door with a silly smile on his face, waiting to be greeted cooperatively.

The three people next to him shouted the slogan together at this time -

"One, two--Happy birthday!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
As they shouted birthday wishes, several people fired a salute together.

Kawahara also subconsciously fired a salute in an instant, and colorful ribbons and petals fell towards Yusuke Godai at the door.

"thank you all!"

Godai Yusuke then bowed and came in with a bright smile. Kawahara: "..."

Is it so formal?

He inexplicably felt as if he was being forced to participate in something.

After everyone greeted each other, they sat at the small round table and shared the joy of the birthday together.

……

The two girls who came to celebrate Yusuke Godai's birthday were Minoru Godai and Sawatari Sakurako. Even Yusuke Godai's own birthday was told to him by his sister this morning.

However, due to Gurongi's incident, Yusuke Godai did not stay to help with the preparations.

This was the first time Kawahara met Godai Minoru.

He had heard before that "Modern Kuuga" also had a sister, but he never had the chance to meet her.

But now that I have met her, I found that unlike Miou, who has a somewhat weak and melancholy temperament, Godai Minoru is a very optimistic and confident girl.

She has a similar personality to her brother.

When Kawahara was looking at her, Minoru Godai also turned his head slightly to look over, and then a very sweet smile appeared on his face.

"Hello, thank you for always taking care of my brother." Wu Dai Minoru nodded at him.

"...You know me?" Kawahara was slightly stunned.

"Yeah, my brother often talks about it!"

When Godai Minoru smiles, sweet dimples appear on both sides of her cheeks.

After Yusuke Godai decided to become "Kuga" and fight, he told his sister everything that happened to him, and Minoru Godai expressed his trust in her brother's decision.

These two siblings do have similarly optimistic personalities.

And Sawatari Sakurako glanced at Kawahara from the side, her expression looked a little strange. In addition to curiosity, there was more of a feeling of worry.

Strictly speaking, this was also the first time Kawahara met Sawatari Sakurako, but it was not the first time that the other party saw him.

After all, on the day Kawahara woke up, Sawatari Sakurako was asked by the Science and Police Research Institute to decipher the super ancient text.

As a result, he sat up in shock from his dying illness. The force of his explosion not only frightened everyone present, but also smashed a big hole in the Science and Technology Police Research Institute's workshop and ran away.

But Kawahara had no impression of the people who were present at the time.

Anyway, Sawatari Sakurako seems a little reserved.

Almost after eleven o'clock.

The belated birthday celebration ended perfectly.

Because it was too late, Minoru Godai decided to stay and help clean the shop. There was a room reserved for her in the PolePole Café anyway.

Yusuke Godai volunteered to escort Sawatari Sakurako back to Jonan University.

This is a good time to show some concern.

Although she appeared very happy at the celebration, Sakurako Sawatari occasionally showed that she was worried, which Yusuke Godai could see.

"Sakura? What happened?"

"..."

Sawatari Sakurako, who was walking quickly in front, stopped and looked back at Yusuke Godai who was hurriedly following behind her pushing a motorcycle. She pursed her lips and looked very unhappy.

Yusuke Godai originally wanted to take her back on his bike, but Sawatari Sakurako refused to ride and just walked forward.

He could only keep up by pushing his heavy motorcycle.

"Sakurako?" Yusuke Godai looked at her with concern.

“I have read the latest text about Kuuga from the stone tablets dug out from the Kuroyama ruins… which is something you didn’t tell me.”

Sawatari Sakurako looked at him stubbornly.

Yusuke Godai was slightly stunned.
