Aki Tomoya's birthday party went almost exactly as Takagi had hoped.
In other words, the more lively the better.
There were seven people at the birthday party, which is not a small number.
There was no way they could finish those two large cakes, so Takagi chose to smash them into Aki Tomoya's face.
When Aki Tomoya's face was suddenly covered in cream, everyone except Takagi was stunned for a moment.
It was so sudden; Takagi's attack came without any warning.
One second they were celebrating Aki Tomoya's birthday, and the next second they had smeared cream all over Aki Tomoya's face.
"Takagi, are you really going crazy?!"
Aki Tomoya wiped his face, but the cream on his face wouldn't be wiped off by doing so.
This way, Aki Tomoya can see Takagi and aim at that bastard.
"Are you surprised, are you surprised?!"
Takagi's smug expression stirred Aki Tomoya's nerves, making the latter willing to play along with this guy's antics at this moment.
With a whoosh, Aki Tomoya grabbed a piece of cake and retaliated before Takagi could react.
"Depend on!"
After being retaliated against in the same way, Takagi knew that things were about to get really interesting.
As Aki Tomoya shouted "Grab him!", everyone immediately focused their attention on Takagi.
This is not a fair fight because Takagi is fighting alone.
As for Aki Tomoya, although the girls were watching from the sidelines, Majima was undoubtedly on Aki Tomoya's side.
"Mashima, this is a one-on-one fight, how dare you interfere!"
Takagi complained that being outnumbered two to one was not a pleasant experience.
Majima showed him no mercy either, treating him the way he was expected.
Driven to desperation, Takagi adopted a "better to die than live" attitude, displaying a do-or-die spirit in the face of attacks from Aki Tomoya and Majima.
Before long, the three of them were covered in cream, making them incredibly sticky.
Because of the stickiness on their bodies, they all complained quite a bit.
"It's all Takagi's fault!"
Aki Tomoya and Majima immediately blamed Takagi for the mistake.
If this bastard hadn't started this whole mess with the cake, they wouldn't be in such a terrible situation right now.
The comical way the three of them were chasing each other in this place must have been captured in countless memorable photos.
Although Aki Tomoya had absolutely no interest in those photos meant as souvenirs.
"You're all clearly enjoying it, yet you're only criticizing me?!"
Takagi pouted in dissatisfaction, licking his lips with his tongue; the sweetness of the cream was making him feel a little cloying.
If it weren't for wanting to liven up the atmosphere of the party, Takagi wouldn't have needed to do all these things, but to be honest, everyone was really enjoying themselves.
Because of Takagi, Aki Tomoya went crazy for the first time on his birthday.
He rarely thinks about other things, at least not tonight.
The party ended around 10 p.m.
Takagi said he would have someone come and clean up the place, while Aki Tomoya saw his friends off one by one.
I originally wanted to ask Majima to stay and clean up first, but he politely declined, saying that he had to go back quickly.
Majima and his girlfriend were the first to leave.
Next, Kato Megumi, Kudo Sayaka, Eriri, and Aki Tomoya all saw them off one by one.
But Takagi was the only one who hadn't planned to leave yet.
When Aki Tomoya looked at him with a puzzled expression, the other person said irritably, "Look at me, I definitely need to take a shower first!"
He even knew to clean up his body, which was now covered in greasy cream.
And those clothes of his are definitely no longer wearable.
Aki Tomoya then lent one of his own clothes to Takagi, who made do with it for the time being.
While Takagi went to the bathroom to clean, Aki Tomoya simply tidied up the living room.
Because of Takagi's lead, the three boys made a scene, and now the living room is a complete mess.
These were all their achievements, leaving Aki Tomoya both amused and exasperated.
"I already told you someone would come and clean up tomorrow morning, so you don't need to go through all that trouble tonight. Go take a shower, you look really ridiculous right now, hahaha!"
When Takagi came out after washing up, he saw Aki Tomoya tidying up. He subconsciously made a comment, and then started laughing at the other's current appearance.
Just over ten minutes ago, Takagi was far more comical than Aki Tomoya.
Aki Tomoya refrained from picking up any more leftovers to surprise Takagi; he simply made a move to rush over, which startled the guy.
Takagi didn't leave tonight; instead, she chose to stay overnight at Aki Tomoya's house.
At first, Aki Tomo asked him to find a clean and auspicious spot in the living room, but Takagi couldn't stand the injustice and protested repeatedly before finally getting the chance to sleep on the floor upstairs.
"Sigh, I never imagined my first time would be with you..."
When Aki Tomoya returned from his shower and was about to go to bed, Takagi Yuu, who was sleeping on a makeshift bed next to him, said something quietly.
His voice gave Aki Tomoya goosebumps.
That's absolutely disgusting!
"Takagi, if you don't cause trouble, I'm kicking you out!"
Aki Tomoya no longer wanted to use polite language and directly warned the other party not to provoke him, otherwise he wouldn't be blamed if he was swept out like trash.
Feeling guilty, Takagi pulled the blanket over her head.
He was just joking, but it seemed like he was playing with fire.
He muttered something under his breath, and then there was no more sound.
Aki Tomoya didn't go to sleep immediately. It seemed that he felt Takagi was already asleep when he suddenly said thank you.
Thanks for tonight.
After celebrating such a lively birthday for him, Aki Tomo couldn't possibly leave without a word of thanks.
"...You're really cunning! You actually said that when I was about to fall asleep!"
"So you're still awake? Then I'll pretend I never said anything."
Chapter 292 Suicide by Charcoal Burning (2/?)
After my birthday, this is the last week before winter break.
In Japan, winter break is the two weeks between Christmas and New Year's Day.
Winter break and such are actually secondary. The main thing is that another year has passed, and next year I will be entering the second year of science. The year after that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be officially assigned to the medical school.
Before the winter break, there were significantly fewer classes, giving students much more free time to manage their time.
However, before the winter break, Aki Tomoya still had things to do at UDI and the pathology classroom.
Because it's almost holiday time, the pathology classroom isn't very busy, and Professor Yano and Okajima haven't prepared any new research topics; any research they do will have to wait until next year.
Before the winter break arrives, I need to finish all the things I have on hand.
In the week before winter break, UDI's Misumi squad went on a mission to Musashino and brought back several corpses that needed to be dissected and investigated.
Because the coroner was unavailable, the detectives at the Nishimushashino Police Station had to ask UDI again to confirm the death.
The nature of the deaths of a group of people suspected of committing suicide by coal mining in a residence was determined.
However, because there are doubts, no matter how much Officer Mori of the Musashino Police Station complains, since there is a possibility of homicide, an autopsy must be conducted according to normal procedures to determine the cause of death.
Similarly, since the bodies brought back were not just one, but multiple, the Zhongtang troupe also had to participate.
"There's still a week until Christmas, yet the Lord will only stand by and watch the world suffer!"
He was not a religious believer, but he did have faith, just not reverence for gods.
The mention of Jehovah wasn't just for mockery; it was about a group of people committing suicide by burning charcoal in a house, and Aki Tomoya couldn't imagine just how pessimistic those people must have been.
Japan has a high suicide rate, stemming from the overall oppressive atmosphere of society. Many people either become zombies or drive themselves insane.
In Japan, there are famous suicide hotspots that create props to scare away people who come to commit suicide, and even put up some bizarre slogans.
From students to adults and the elderly, many people choose to end their own lives.
Most students are victims of bullying, while adults and the elderly are victims of despair.
