Gumi's Birthday

**Gumi's Birthday** is the forty-third installment in *Silylily - The Story*.

## Summary

Lily confesses to Gumi that she loves her, but turns out to be talking to a photograph. kokone walks in on Lily to bring her to a rehearsal with their band. With Cocorobo, the girls discuss their plans to perform at Gumi's birthday party. Meanwhile, a hooded figure plans to ruin Gumi's party and Lily's reputation at the same time. At the party hosted by Gakupo, kokone encourages Lily to tell Gumi how she feels. Before she can, Gakupo makes an announcement and calls Gumi up to the stage to receive a present from him. As he does so, the hooded figure watches the stage while hanging from a rope attached to the ceiling. Onstage, Gakupo announces he will be taking Gumi with him on the "Great Vocaloid Tour," the biggest vocaloid concert in the world. Lily is startled by the notion of Gumi leaving for the entire tour, but her surprise is cut short when the hooded figure swings in from the rope and kicks Gumi in the face, knocking her out.

Everyone wonders who attacked Gumi, but Gakupo states that he saw blonde hair through the assailant's hood. As Lily is the only partygoer with blonde hair, she is instantly accused. Gakupo kicks her out of the party, but this causes kokone to yell at him for his baseless accusation. Gakupo suggests that kokone should leave the party, as well. Later, Lily is doing honeydew on a park bench when she sees a hallucination of Gumi speaking to her. The fake Gumi tells Lily to defend herself and to always speak her mind if she has something to say. Lily realizes there is a lot she needs to say, mostly to Gumi. The hallucination ends when kokone finds Lily.

kokone decides to hang out with Lily and the two discuss their troubles together. Noticing the honeydew, kokone decides to try it, which causes her to become loopy. Eventually, the two become inebriated and wind up in a tree together. Through her intoxication, kokone confesses her love to Lily, but they both laugh it off. Having a renewed sense of energy, Lily decides she and kokone should return to the party to stand up for themselves. She tosses the honeydew away, but conveniently hits the escaping hooded figure on the head, knocking them out.

Later, Chika commends Lily and kokone for catching Gumi's attacker. They unmask the culprit and find it to be Kagamine Rin sitting on Kagamine Len's shoulders. Len confesses that someone sent them to attack Lily, but Chika carries him and Rin away to apologize to everyone at the party. Lily is then playfully tackled by Gumi, who promises to make Gakupo apologize. Lily ultimately decides to confess her love to Gumi, but before she can, she chokes up and instead says she will miss Gumi during the tour. kokone asks Lily why she did not confess, to which Lily says the party does not need to be ruined anymore than it already has.

Elsewhere, another hooded figure that sent the Kagamines reflects on their failure as Ritsu, SpongeBob and Scourge bring them a wriggling sack. Ritsu claims they have captured Gumi, but when they open the sack, they find Sonika inside.
