Sister's Birthday Gift!

He intended to reply to a few messages before going to sleep, then continue writing.

After sending some simple replies to standard greetings, he focused on the messages from Arimura Kaoruko, Matsuo Yuka, Akita Sana, and Tsukishima Rin.

[Natsume Chikage: It is.]

[Arimura Kaoruko: ...I remember you saying before that you didn't intend to reveal your identity as a writer, didn't you?]

Natsume Chikage felt helpless and had to explain the situation.

[Arimura Kaoruko: So that's how it
