Celebration Party

Translated by NotBlueYet

The usual living room was decorated for a party.

No, isn’t this already made on the assumption that we’re going to win?

That’s the question that comes to mind.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

It’s not bad to be greeted with a surprise.

The tournament was being broadcast live, so they must have been watching it all along.

“I knew you and Rio would win the competition.”

“Ryo, you did well!　You are the pride of the Takamori family!”

My father was patting me on the shoulder.

“Rio, congratulations on your victory. Thank you for entering the tournament with this guy.”

“No, I could not have won the tournament without Ryo-san’s support.”

“No, no, no. Rio is a good player too. This time we were able to win because we covered for each other well.”

A duo is not just a matter of one person being strong.

As I have said many times before, it is the ability of two people to work together that is important in a duo.

“Yes, yes, you two, let’s reflect on the situation later and have dinner!”

Yuzuki said, clapping her hands.

The table was lined with even more sumptuous food than usual.

“I guess it’s a feast today, huh?”

“Of course! It’s your and Rio’s victory party! I put a lot of effort into making it.”

“Thank you, Yuzuki.”

“No, there’s cake after dinner too. What would you like to drink?”

Bottled juice and a highball for dad are available.

“I’ll have orange juice.”

“Me too.”

“Yess~!”

The orange juice is poured into the glass.

My father had already finished making the highball.

“Well then, father, please give a toast.”

“What, not Ryo, but me?”

“This is the role of the elders.”

“I understand. Then, I would like to toast to Ryo and Rio’s victory in the Japan Tournament.”

“Cheers!”

Glasses clinked on the table.

Immediately, I threw a piece of fried chicken into my mouth.

“Yuzuki, it’s really delicious. You’re getting good at this again, aren’t you?”

“Why is this salad so good?”

“Well, that’s a trade secret.”

Yuzuki grinned happily.

“Hey, is your father okay with his work?”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s a celebration for my son and his precious companion.. I don’t have time for work!”

He then poured a highball in one gulp.

Then my phone vibrated.

“I’m sorry.”

The name on the screen was Yukino Shirase.

“Yes, this is Takamori.”

“Congratulations on your victory, Takamori-san!　That’s amazing!　As expected!”

I could feel Shirase-san’s excitement even through the phone.

“Thank you.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t keep up with you at the venue.”

“No, I’m aware of your situation, Shirase-san.”

“Thank you very much. But we’re getting a tremendous amount of work requests and inquiries!”

“Ah, as I thought.”

As usual, when you do something as remarkable as winning a competition, you get a huge amount of work.

“I’m sorry, Shirase-san, but what are you doing right now?”

I just left the office and am on my way home.

“Well, why don’t you come over to my place?　Rio and my family are having a victory party.”

“Is that something I can come over too?”

“Of course. I am always indebted to you, Ms. Shirase.”

Honestly, I don’t think I could have come this far without Shirase-san’s support.

I am who I am today because Shirase-san always supported me with a perfect system.

“Then, I’ll bother you just a little bit.”

“Thank you very much. I’ll send you the address.”

I ended the call with Shirase-san and sent her the address in a message.

It would be less than 20 minutes from the nearest station where the company was located.

I returned to the living room.

“I also called my manager Shirase-san over, is that okay?”

“Of course!”

“I have to say hello to her.”

I said, but my father was about 80% drunk.

“I’m totally fine with the food, the glasses, and the booze!”

“Thank you.”

We waited for Shirase-san to arrive as we chatted.
