Summary
Leo finds herself wandering around the town, thinking that she has nothing to do. She spots a mother and a child talking about how it's the child's birthday tomorrow. Suddenly she remembers that it's her birthday today. Suddenly, Houli appears behind her with a menacing aura. Leo is cautious but also thinks he looks kinda cool. She also notices he's hiding something behind his back and thinks it's a knife. She remembers that there have been rumors about assassins pretending to be fans of high-ranking adventurers. She puts her guard up as Houli pulls out the item he's holding. But as it turns out, it's a birthday present, which leaves the knight surprised. He explains that he heard about her birthday from the adventurer's guild so he bought her a necklace imbued with magical enchantments. Leo says that she never celebrated her birthday before and that she was suspicious for nothing. She give Houli a dry thanks and leaves.

In the evening, at her home, Leo thinks back to her father ignoring her birthday when she was a child. She puts on the necklace and is visibly very happy. The narrator states that she was fidgeting like this for over an hour.
