Cake!

Time/Date2022-05-18

Listen, my fondness for sweet foods somehow reached the ears of the soldiers at Watatsumi Island. As a result, they prepared a cake for me, saying, "Gorou, please take it."

Conditions at Watatsumi Island are not that well, and I should exercise restraint as a general... But if I refuse this cake, I'm afraid I'll disappoint them.

So I try to put myself in their shoes! If I receive a letter asking for help in a similar situation, how should I give advice?

"Share this cake with soldiers and friends, and when there is something good in the future, share it with others."

Yep! That's the way to go!

Let's have the cake together!

The Tournament...
SenderGorou
Time/Date2023-05-18

I recently caught wind that the troops are planning a birthday celebration for me. Though I don't want to trouble everyone, I also don't want to disappoint them. After some consideration, I've decided to host a tournament. The format will require participants to register in teams of two, which will allow each person to demonstrate their individual skill on top of promoting teamwork and trust!

I've sent letters to Captain Beidou and Kazuha, and I hope they can make it here on time. As for Narukami Island, Arataki Itto was the first to reply, saying: "Don't you worry, 'cause victory belongs to Arataki 'No Doubt About It-to'!" Thoma has also responded that he intends to participate alongside Taroumaru.

Such a gathering of masters and experts — ah, I can barely contain my excitement... Um, I mean— would you come join the tournament as my partner? That is, if you have the time, of course. With you by me side, we'd be invincible!

Improved Provisions...

Time/Date2024-05-18

Have you been well lately?

Those alchemical potions we bought from you last time were just amazing! Everyone feels like they have a lot more energy while they work, and the cargo ship that carried them also brought way more goods than usual.

Speaking of goods... Though we all understand that relying solely on imports isn't practical in the long term, rushing things here won't do us any good. We still need to improve productivity on Watatsumi Island, one step at a time. In the meantime, instilling confidence and maintaining morale is equally important. So, after some deliberation with the soldiers, we decided to work together and use some really novel ingredients to make a celebratory cake!

You're the hero behind our success this time, so please be sure to have a taste of this "Morale Cake." And let's continue to work hard together in the days to come!

On previous birthdays, having Radish and Fish Stew would really hit the spot. After all, we had to keep everything simple, resources were far too scarce to be deployed so lavishly.
I didn't expect you to bring me such an exquisite cake just to celebrate my birthday. Thank you, Traveler!
It looks so artistic, but I don't even know where to start cutting it...
Hmm... Any advice, Traveler?

C'mon, Tawara, say hi to the Traveler!
Haha, he's quite frisky! As our camp dog, tracking enemies and retrieving wounded are what Tawara is best at.
But rather than sending him on missions, I much prefer to see him relaxed and carefree like this.
As for the responsibility of protecting this hard-won peace... leave it to me!
Good morning! I was just about to start my training routine. Why don't you join me for a few rounds of strength training?
Regular training is crucial in order to respond to the various emerging situations on the battlefield.
On top of that, warriors must have a profound understanding of tactics— Oh, you want to know the secrets behind my formations?
Let me give you a demonstration. With your intelligence and talent, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it in no time!

派蒙:五郎——!
五郎:你们来了。这个味道…你们涂了什么东西吗?
派蒙:其实…这是要送给你的植物精油…
派蒙:呜,没有惊喜感了。五郎的鼻子也太灵啦!下次,下次一定要选择无香型的…
五郎:哈哈,谢谢你们,有这份心意我就已经很开心了。
五郎:说起来,最近我给《闲事月刊》写回信的时候也遇到了类似的问题。有位读者在信中写道——
读者来信:「上司最近要过生日了,我们想给他一个惊喜。
他的鼻子很灵,蛋糕也好,鲜花也好,总是在我们拿出来之前,就被他发现了。」
读者来信:「上司是位温柔又细心的人,他也每次都假装很吃惊的样子配合着我们。但果然还是想看看他发自内心惊喜的表情啊…这次一定要提前做好保密工作!」
读者来信:「他的爱好是登山,大家准备凑钱买一套新的登山套装送给他,但是我们不知道该如何挑选…」
旅行者:五郎是怎么回复的呢?
五郎:正好我也经常登山,就给他们推荐了我正在用的那套,虽然算不上名贵,但胜在结实耐用。
五郎:礼物的珍贵在于其中饱含的心意,而不是花费了多少金钱。
五郎:咳咳…说回正题。晚饭马上准备好了,我们先进去吧。
五郎:欸?门前放着一个盒子…
派蒙:一定是士兵们送给你的生日礼物,快打开看看吧!
五郎:嗯!
五郎:……
五郎:噗哈哈哈,原来是他们!
派蒙:怎么了?笑什么?里面是什么呀?
五郎:是我推荐的那套登山装备。
有新的画片收录进来啦!快去看看吧~
回看对白:「噗哈哈哈,原来是他们!」

Today is Gorou's birthday, let's go and celebrate with him!
Paimon: Gorou—!
Gorou: You're here. This smell... Did you guys put something on?
Paimon: That's... actually the plant essential oil we were planning to give you...
Paimon: *sobs* The surprise is ruined. Your nose is way too good, Gorou! Next time... Next time we'll definitely choose an oil with no fragrance...
Gorou: Haha, thank you both. I'm very happy you even thought of me.
Gorou: Come to think of it, I encountered a similar problem recently while I was writing a reply for "That's Life" magazine. There was a reader who wrote to the magazine, saying—
Letter From Reader: "Our boss' birthday is soon, and we want to prepare a surprise for him.
His nose is really sensitive. Be it cake or fresh flowers, he'll always notice what we get him way before we present it to him."
Letter From Reader: "Our boss is a gentle and considerate person, so he always goes along with it and acts really surprised every time. But we still want to see his face when he actually gets surprised for once... This time, we'll definitely try our very best to keep it a secret!"
Letter From Reader: "One of his hobbies is mountaineering, so everyone chipped him to get him a new set of climbing gear, but we don't know how to pick one for him..."
Traveler: So how did you reply, Gorou?
Gorou: I just so happen to go mouintaineering pretty often too, so I just recommended the gear I'm currently using. It's not anything fancy, but it's sturdy and durable.
Gorou: A gift is valuable because of the thought and intention behind it, not because someone spent a lot of money getting it.
Gorou: Ahem... Back on topic. Dinner's about to be ready. We should head in.
Gorou: Huh? There's a box in front of the door...
Paimon: That's probably the birthday present the soldiers got you! You should open it up and see what it is!
Gorou: Mmm!
Gorou: ...
Gorou: Hahahaha! It was them all along!
Paimon: Wait, what are you laughing at? What's inside?
Gorou: It's the climbing gear I recommended.

派蒙:你们走快点呀,到了山顶就能坐下来一起吃蛋糕了!
五郎:派蒙很有干劲呢,要来场登山比赛吗?
派蒙:好,比就比,输的人要让对方摸摸尾巴!
旅行者:可是派蒙没有尾巴。
派蒙:那就…那就摸耳朵!
派蒙:哼哼,派蒙是不会输的~那句话怎么说来着…
派蒙:「飞,比跑快吧?」
五郎:气势不错嘛!那就一起向着顶峰全力前进吧!

Today is Gorou's birthday, let's go and celebrate with him!
Paimon: Hurry up, guys! When we get to the top of the mountain, we can sit down and have cake together!
Gorou: Paimon sure is excited. Do you want to have a race to the top?
Paimon: Sure, bring it on! Loser has to let the other person touch their tail!
Traveler: But Paimon doesn't have a tail.
Paimon: Then— ears then!
Paimon: Hehe, Paimon isn't going to lose~ What's that saying again?
Paimon: "Wouldn't gliding be faster?"[Note 1]
Gorou: That's quite the spirit! Let's forge ahead to the top together then!
