Harukawa Kotono’s birthday party was always being held grandly.
The Group stakeholders, the welfare organization big shots, even mayor and city councilors made appearances, all of the people who were said to be influential figures in this city were completely gathered in this place.
However, speaking of Kotono’s friend there was almost none at all, the only exception was Mukojima Yoshimi, she was the only one who was attending as Kotono’s friend every year.
ーBut, I almost never talked to Kotono-chan before though.
Since she became blind until middle school graduation age, Kotono went to school for the blind in the city, however, she won’t tell me about how her school life like there.
But, looking at how she stubbornly refused to enter the high school section, it seemed it was not that fun for her.
Therefore, the friends that she made within these 17 years were only me and Mukojima.
I had to accompany her by her side as her servant, so Mukojima was a precious friend to be invited.
After graduating from middle school, Mukojima entered top-level public high school in the city. Her face was quite cute, and even her figure was also good. She must be popular.
I took Kotono’s hand and walked around the venue with her to greet the invited guests.
In spite of a party, I can’t treat myself to the feast at all, well, it can’t be helped that I became tense in the middle of these big shots.
In addition, this party was also carrying out a charity for guide dog rearing familiarization activity. The president of the guide dog association, of course, also came and he asked why Kotono didn’t use a guide dog.
Kotono raised the corner of her mouth and smiled elegantly,
「If it’s a dog, I already had it」
so she replied politely.

Kotono held a violin concert at the end of the birthday party.
I didn’t really understand about classic things, but I thought Kotono’s performance had something that touched people’s hearts.
There were even people who were brought to tears, and it always ended in huge success.
There were also people who plotted to debut her as 「Beautiful Blind Violinist」, but Kotono refused all of such offers.
It was fine if she was noticed purely because of her musical talent, but it seemed she didn’t like using handicap or looks to draw people’s sympathy and interest.
This year program was 「Vitali Chaconne」. When the performance was over, the venue was wrapped in thundering applause.
Just at this time, Kotono who always stayed indoors would be showered with the surrounding praises. I was proud of her who can make a lot of people deeply moved.
The birthday party will come to its closure when the concert ended. Kotono was seeing the invitees off along with her parents, and everything finished around 10 o’clock.
As expected, Kotono looked tired when she returned to her room, she drank the tea that I poured for her silently.
Kotono put the teacup on the dish and suddenly said.
「Sasuke, it’s so sudden, but I’ll be going out tomorrow」
「Th-that’s really so sudden, isn’t it?」
Kotono rarely changed her schedule.
She really valued the schedule that she decided herself, and she won’t let anything to change it.
「**-san will hold a small concert for me at his home. Father and mother said to me to attend it at all cost. It can’t be helped, so I’ll be going」
**-san was Harukawa Group’s railroad company chairman, I also met him several times before. His wife was very skilled at piano while being an amateur, and sometimes she wanted to do a home concert with Kotono.
「They also said to have dinner with them, so I’ll be late. I’m not here after all, so you can do anything you want」
「Yes」
I quickly thought while answering her.
I thought what tomorrow schedule should be according to Kotono’s circumstances. I already predicted that her feet got tired because she stood for a long time and then she would order me to massage her or something like that.
Therefore, I didn’t make any promise to play with friends from school at all.
But perhaps, this was a reward God gave to me for my hard work today.
It was good that Kotono can’t see that my mouth became loose and chuckled.
If that was the case, there was only one thing that I would do.

On the next day, Kotono had early lunch and then set out with the car.
「Ojou-sama said it’s fine to just do a quick cleaning for today. It will be finished soon, just wait a bit. I’ll send tea and snacks later, so give me a call me on your break」
Anna-san laughed and began cleaning. She seemed to be very impressed that I diligently studied these days, so she took care of me more than before. Honestly, it pained my heart.
「Well then, good luck with your study」
Anna-san closed the door while smiling, so I began the usual setting.
I took out the study tools from the department store bag and set it up. After that, I spread the bath towel on the bedcover and then set the body pillow《Mimi-chan》beside me.
I wanted to try something different for today, well, let’s try with《Imouto¹-theme》 that I read yesterday.
While thinking that, the cell phone on the table rang suddenly.
It was from Kotono. I hurriedly received the call.
「Hello, what is it ojou-sama?」
While minding not to sound nervous, I received the call. It was because Kotono was sharp to perceive any change in voices.
「Anna should be having a lunch break now. Can you go to the kitchen and ask if she noticed anything unusual when she cleans the room?」
「W-well. are you curious about something?」
Perhaps, she noticed something? I became nervous.
「It’s not your concern. Just go to the kitchen and ask her. Don’t use cell phone, meet her properly and ask about it」
If she felt like it, she can order the driver, Yonetsu-san, to call Anna-san. Just what whim she had, I went out from Kotono’s room and went towards the kitchen.
Anna-san was in the middle of her break reading a book leisurely in the kitchen.
「Unusual thing? Nothing I guess」
Anna-san took a thinking posture seeming to search her memories, but shrugged her shoulders.
「Hmm, yep, I can’t think of anything unusual at all」
「Is that so. Then it’s fine. I’m sorry for interrupting your break」
I called Kotono to tell her.
However, after one call,
ーThis is answering machine. Please leave your message after the beep…….
So it informed. After ordering people, just what on earth?
For now,
「Anna-san said there’s nothing unusual」
I left that message.
While still not understanding what happened, I returned to Kotono’s room once again and locked the door from inside properly.
I looked around the room. Like Anna-san said, there was nothing unusual to be found at all here.
「Good grief, just what’s it? I don’t understand what she wants」
I took off my shoes while complaining and then got up to the bed.
I gently sniffed 《Mimi-chan》who was ingrained with Kotono’s scent, lowered the pants’ zipper and immersed myself in delusion as usual.
As expected, Let’s do《Imouto¹-theme》today, yeah.
