VF 074 Lets Make my Beloved Wifes Birthday Grand

[Ill definitely make it this year!] (Calis)

[Calis-sama, were in the kitchen so please keep your voice down.] (Jake)

Im feeling myself in high-spirits but Jake just has to pour cold water on me with a warning.

[I mean, its been a long time since weve had such a big event] (Calis)

[Nonetheless, what would the maidservants and housewives think if they saw you? Calis-sama has a cool and aloof image so please take note of that.] (Jake)

[You make it sound like I did something terrible]

He has a point so I dont want to argue about it. Ofcourse, I myself dont want people to see me as being so casual and goofy. Hm? Huh? Seryu-sama saw me humming while cooking last time when he visited me in the kitchen though. Well, too late to cry over spilt milk so whatever. Yeah, lets just forget about it.

Nevertheless

[Ill make sure that Sashas birthday will be properly celebrated this year.] (Calis)

As Sasha was in the middle of her pregnancy last year, we were not able to celebrate it. I pumped myself up once again but Jake just wouldnt let me hype myself about it.

[I am very pleased about the celebration as well, Calis-sama, but In what way do you plan for this celebration to be grand?] (Jake)

[Sasha can still be considered young considering her age, no?] (Calis)

[Yes, that is so, but] (Jake)

Seems like Jake is hesitating to speak about his real feelings but after a moment, hes finally decided to speak of what he is actually thinking about the matter.

[I cant help but feel anxious. When Calis-sama plans to do something this big, I feel like theres going to be another hidden event that will explode along with it.] (Jake)

[Do you perhaps think Im some sort of a troublemaker?] (Calis)

[It pleases me that you have some self awareness. If I recall correctly, the Lady (Sasha) bore the seeds of Basil-sama and Mint-sama around the Young Ladys (Laurel) birthday, no?] (Jake)

(TL: well, yeah, that definitely exploded. Oops! Jake, youre so!!)

As if he just remembered something that isnt really appropriate, Jake sighs in exasperation.

[Well, as long as Calis-sama completes his work, then thats fine for me. Still, I just cant help but get worried.] (Jake)

[Thats actually depressing.] (Calis)

I am actually planning on going out and obtaining the present Ill give to Sasha by myself and I am confident that I wont cause any trouble as big Jake imagines.

In the first place, unless Laurel and Sasha are on pointblank ends of arrows and spears, then thats not something Id consider as trouble. If I can handle it in some way then theres no need to worry.

[So youre here, Jake-san.] (Miguel)

[Hm? Is there something you need, Miguel?] (Jake)

A young man wearing butler clothes, Miguel, bows his head in my direction upon seeing me before speaking to Jake.

[I have a document I would like for Jake-san to check, but If you are still in the middle of serving Calis-sama, then Id gladly wait.] (Miguel)

[Its fine. I can handle the rest myself Jake so go tend to Miguel.] (Calis)

[Understood.] (Jake)

After giving an affirmative response, Jake sighs as if giving up and walks out of the kitchen. Miguel thanks me before leaving after Jake but I do appreciate how diligent the young man is, still, I secretly hope he doesnt neglect to nurture his budding love story because of how busy he is.

Translators Notes:

: RMJ: Karisu = Calis

: Jiiku / Ziiku = Jake / Zik

: Roorie = Laurel (As the names of the twins are Basil and Mint, and explained they want to retain the pattern of spices for the childrens names, well use Laurel than Laurier)

2. I would like to thank Nicken for mentioning that the series was moved to Kakuyomu! The previous chapters I translated were from Narou (Same links in NU which I already scanned til latest raws before it was discontinued). There are 169 chapters in Narou I think? As of today, in Kakuyomu, the series has 98 entries and this chapter is from Kaku. To note, there are no significant changes yet between the Narou and Kaku versions. I believe the changes will come later when the further characters are introduced.

3. Thats all and have a happy weekend! I appreciate how the readers welcomed me translating the series! Lets all enjoy the read!
