Chapter 651: Happy Birthday

On the day of Masayoshi Kishimoto’s birthday, Natsui Makoto woke up before dawn to make preparations. She not only prepared his favorite dishes, but also made a birthday cake with her own hands.

Although she was a bit tired, she was full of her own thoughts, after all, if she spent money to go out to eat at a fancy restaurant, no one would be there to take care of Kishimoto Makoto and Kishimoto Mika.

In Natsui Makoto’s opinion, if they came together to celebrate Masayoshi Kishimoto’s thirtieth birthday, that would be called true happiness. She first brought the dishes onto the table one by one, and then it was time to bring the birthday cake up and place it in the center.

Natsui Makoto personally filled the birthday cake with a total of thirty candles. She looked at it with a happy smile.

Natsui Makoto suddenly looked up at the wall clock, there was still half an hour to go before Kishimoto Masayoshi opened the door and arrived home. She felt that something was missing?

After thinking about it, she hammered her right fist on the top of her left palm and came to a realization. Her own and Masayoshi Kishimoto’s pair of children could not be missing.

Natsui Makoto gave the two little ones their respective seats. She taught them with a smile on her face, “Today is your father’s 30th birthday, no fooling around. If any of you disobey me, I’ll spank whoever’s little butt.”

When she said this, she intentionally paused for a moment, and even raised her right palm high in the air and waved her arm twice.

Natsui Makoto looked at Kishimoto Makoto and Kishimoto Mika looking at herself with their respective pairs of innocent eyes, and suddenly a little sense of guilt arose within her heart. As their biological mother, she shouldn’t have frightened them with this.

However, if she didn’t tell them about it in advance, she was worried that if she made Kishimoto Masayoshi uncomfortable on his birthday, it would lose its meaning, and wouldn’t leave a lifelong good memory in his head.

After all, good memories are always able to make a person repeatedly have a solitary reminiscence from time to time. On the contrary, the effort she had put in to work until now without seeing the light of day would likewise be meaningless.

With a motherly face, Natsui Makoto again said very gently to these two children of hers, “When the time comes, you have to say, Happy Birthday to your father. Happy Birthday. Come, repeat after mommy, Happy Birthday.”

Kishimoto Makoto and Kishimoto Mika with their milky voices were with a somewhat parrot-like appearance, and said in tacit agreement, “Happy Birthday.”

“My two babies are so well behaved and exceptionally smart, they learn at the drop of a hat. Yes, that’s Happy Birthday.” Natsui Makoto instantly smiled with a wide-eyed smile and rushed at them is a thumbs up and said.

Kishimoto Makoto and Kishimoto Mika repeated again, “Happy Birthday.”

Natsui Makoto couldn’t help but kiss each of them on their little faces, “Yes, happy birthday. You all need to memorize it and say it to daddy later.”

It wasn’t long before the lock on the door began to rattle, and then it was unlocked by the key in Masayoshi Kishimoto’s right hand. He stepped inside, changing into his own slippers at the entranceway as he always did.

Masayoshi Kishimoto changed into his slippers and walked straight inside. He saw that his sons and daughters were the ones who were already sitting on top of their respective toddler seats.

“Happy Birthday, Daddy.” Kishimoto Mika spoke directly.

Masayoshi Kishimoto then cheered up, “Thank you, it’s still Mika who’s the best, to be able to remember that it’s dad’s birthday today.”

“True, what did mom teach you to say earlier?” Seeing that her son did not respond, Natsui Makoto actively guided him and said.

Makoto Kishimoto blurted out, “Happy Birthday, Daddy.”

“Thanks.” Of course, Masaru Kishimoto knew that this was all what Makoto Natsui had taught his children to say. Without changing his smile, he enjoyed the happiness that filled him and said.

“I wish you a happy birthday as well.” Natsui Makoto smiled.

“Thanks. It’s been a lot of hard work to give me this thirtieth birthday.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he looked at the table full of things and knew it was all from her alone.

“No hard work.” The joy in Natsui Makoto’s heart was completely sweeping away the fatigue and said.

“It’s perfectly fine if you use three candles, one for ten and three for thirty. Why do you have to stick a full thirty on top of the birthday cake for me?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a bit of a cry.

“Right oh! Didn’t think of that at the time.” It was only when Natsui Makoto was about to start lighting one of the candles that she found it a bit troublesome. However, it was all an insignificant little problem.

Masayoshi Kishimoto did not stand idly by and joined her in doing the work of lighting the thirty candles that had been inserted on top of the birthday cake was together.

“Before blowing out the candles, you have to make a wish.” Natsui Makoto reminded.

Masayoshi Kishimoto crossed his fingers into a large fist and placed it in front of his chin, “I wish that our family of four can always be as happy and joyful as this.”

“Fool, wishes don’t work if you say them out loud.” Natsui Makoto scolded.

“I was just too happy. Forgot about that one.” Masayoshi Kishimoto’s smile was widening as he said.

His gaze went to his pair of daughters and added, “Let’s blow out the candles together as a family.”

“Makoto, Mika, follow the example of your father and mother and blow towards the flame above the candle together.” Natsui Makoto personally made a demonstration saying.

Masaru Kishimoto and Mika Kishimoto were looking at their mom while following her example of blowing towards the candles on top of the birthday cake.

The two of them were a bit far away, plus they were unable to blow out the flame on top of the candle by blowing out air from inside their mouths. However, it didn’t matter. What is needed is the feeling of a family being able to get together to blow out the candles.

After the thirty candles were all blown out, Natsui Makoto took the lead and applauded Kishimoto Masayoshi, while Kishimoto Makoto and Kishimoto Mika also learned from one another.

“Why don’t you record such a good scene? I remember there’s a video camera inside the house!” Masaru Kishimoto said in an extremely good mood.

It was only when Natsui Makoto heard him say that that she remembered. She hurriedly went inside her bedroom to get it. By the time she came out, she had already started recording.

Natsui Zhenqin was videoing, and smilingly asked the children positively, “What’s today’s special day? It’s Daddy’s 30th birthday, isn’t it? What should you say to Daddy?”

Makoto Kishimoto and Mika Kishimoto said in unison toward Masayoshi Kishimoto, “Happy birthday, Daddy.”

“Thank you guys.” Masayoshi Kishimoto accepted the children’s reiteration of Happy Birthday to himself with the same joyfulness, without a trace of impatience or feeling nagging.
