The traveler calls up the Frostflake Heron on her special day.

Aight, let's do this!
Hey, can I ask a favor, my friend?
When she picks up, let's sing together, okay?

Ohohohoh! Here we go!
Okay, on the count of three….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR AYAKA!~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUU!~
And many more!

Hahaha!
Heya, Ayaka!
Happy birthday!

Hehe, you're welcome, hon!
I thought the readers and I would drop by to wish you well on your special day!
Or rather, we'd call you up, haha!

Soooooo, how's your day been?
Very relaxing? Ah, that's good to hear!

Did Thoma prepare you a special birthday dinner?
Wonderful! I even sent him a cake to deliver to you, and I hope it wasn't damaged in transit or anything.

It wasn't? Oh, thank goodness!

Aaaaaaaaand you promptly added it to hot pot.
Hahaha! Well, was it good, at least? Heh heh.

Oh, no worries, Ayaka!
As long as you enjoyed it, that's what matters, yeah?

And by the way, that's not all I sent ya!
Yeah, you might need to bug Thoma for it.
But I sent you a coupon for a free spa day at one of the hot springs!

Actually, Ei helped me out with that one, so she's the one to thank.
Heh heh. Aww, you're very welcome, Ayaka!
I'm just glad I could send you good wishes on your special day!

Thank you for all you do for Inazuma… and for us as well.

We love you, Ayaka!

Hmm?
Of course, I mean it!
If I could, I'd give you a hug right now.
Except I can't because we're talking over the phone.

You know what? There's still time left in the day.
I'm coming over to visit right now!
You'll get your hug in person, how's that?

Hahaha!
Okay, I'll see you soon, hon.
