"One last thing before we all leave…"

Matsuo Yamamoto, the chief of the Shinigami Soldiers raised his voice, silencing the crowd who listened in.

Once all attention had been diverted to him, he faintly smiled.

"It's Liohime Kitagami's birthday today. He's now officially eighteen years old."

With a pause that lasted a few seconds, most of the group then faced the shy, fidgeting boy who sat and nervously waved.

The youngest of them all, Liohime Kitagami, had aged up.

Once saying his piece, Matsuo said, "Alright, you're all dismissed," and quickly made his exit, while Bica, Ophiel and Leah pretty much clamored to congratulate him.

"Happy birthday, man! Now you can drink and smoke for real, huh?"

"Ahahaha….yeah, I uh…already did that…"

"Happy birthday, Lio. You got plans for today? We should celebrate."

"Ah…I do have plans, unfortunately. I won't say no to a drink or two at the bar, though-mff!!"

He almost blanked out, losing focus as his head was grabbed by soft, feminine hands and pushed straight into the smooth, warm embrace of Leah's cleavage.

The thirty year-old Sex-For-Hire Shinigami Soldier began to tear up as she kept her arms tightly around his neck and continued to bury him with her embrace, unknowingly heating her body up with his desperate, muffled struggle.

"Ah, you're such a big boy now, Lio, my baby. Congratulations!"

"Mmmfff….mmmm!!! Mpppfff!!!

"Time sure does fly, huh? Just a while ago, you were only fifteen when I joined the roster. Now you're all handsome and strong!"

"Mmmm….mf."

Resigning to his fate of being suffocated to death by her large breasts, Liohime's arms lost all strength and dropped, all while Jolene clicked her tongue and looked at the middle-aged woman up and down with an annoyed face.

Finally, Leah let go of him, and Liohime quickly shook his head from side to side, clearing the lustful thoughts that had almost permeated into his mind.

"T-Thanks Leah. It's true. You've been by my side for a while now."

".....Mmmmm….You're just so cute!!! Come for another hug!!!"

"W-Wai-no-I…mffff!!!!"

***

In the end, I spent another two hours hanging out with my workmates at karaoke and the bar…

Liohime strutted as he continued to make his way back home, already tired even though it was barely lunchtime.

As he walked on, he passed by two officers who merely glazed at him and moved on.

That's the third time I've passed by an officer today, he pondered. Damn, they're really stepping up the surveillance in this area now.

Somehow, that thought strayed over to him thinking about the Magical Beast Girl that was waiting for him at home, and every step that he took brought him one step closer to that dreaded place.

She's gonna be soooo mad and clingy when I return. I did tell her that I would be back in an hour, but I pretty much doubled it…

Then, a sudden realization hit him, and he froze in place, shuddering.

S-Shit…she's gonna kill me for sure.

It was at that moment that he knew…he fucked up, and pretty badly at that.

I've got that fuckass girly scent on me again. Fuck.

For once, Liohime actually considered changing directions in order to buy some new clothes from a nearby store just to escape Shihon's wrath, but his feet began to drag as his destination was now only a few blocks away.

Taking a taxi and buying new clothes now would just be wasting money, he concluded, and tried to give himself a pat on the chest.

If I die tonight, I can at least be happy that I got a mouthful of boobs on my birthday.

With that, Liohime stormed off with confidence towards his house…

***

…And that ego had completely dissipated as soon as he stood by his front door.

With his limbs shaking and his teeth chattering in fear, he gulped and slowly reached for the door.

"Lita?"

"BWAH!!!!"

He flinched and yelled while expecting the worst, but then turned to the figure from the porch of the house adjacent to him as the voice was different from what he had determined.

"O-Oh…it's just you, Tisha...and you, Michi."

Eyeing the miniature Magical Beast that she held gently in her hands, he took a step back with caution, despite them being several feet away from each other.

" 'It's just you'..? You're kind of hilarious when I have no damn clue of what you're trying to say."

Tisha Marsey had been glancing over at him for a few seconds while she exited her house just as he was about to enter his.

Almost asking why he seemed so jumpy, she stopped herself, remembering to keep their conversation short.

"Anyways, I'm leaving. Happy birthday."

"...Thanks."

Now with Tisha getting into her sedan with her Magical Beast and driving off, Liohime faced the door once again and knocked.

After a few seconds of silence, he stretched out his hand to knock again, but before he could do so, a nervous chill ran down his spine as the door opened. Feeling the need to apologize without delay, he began to speak hastily while closing his eyes, bracing himself.

"P-Please forgive me, Shihon! I was a bit late because I was celebrating with my co-workers and I….I…"

He opened his eyes slowly and blink, but they shot open as he stared at the feminine figure in front of him.

Standing with a bullish posture with Shihon, cosplaying with a bunny costume. Her miniskirt swayed along with the change of the wind speed as she twisted the doorknob and welcomed him inside, and her red high heels glittered with sparks. Beautiful black stockings rendered her thin, sexy legs, and cute bunny headpiece had been worn.

In her hands was a beautifully large vanilla icing cake, and she held it close to her large chest as heart-shaped pupils latched onto his figure.

She took a step forward, closing the distance between them, and Liohime held his breath as he took in the perfect glamor that shone out of her.

Still utterly fixated on him and him alone, the Magical Beast Girl's faint voice silently leaked out of her smooth, red lipstick-plastered lips.

"T-Took you long enough, you dummy."

"-hk."

"Happy birthday, Liohime Kitagami."
