Izumo's birthday is soon approaching, so the other Exwires decide to make a surprise party to her, putting all their efforts to make the party a secret. Yukio, stopping by Shiemi's shop to pick up medicinal herbs, mentions how it was great of her to come up with the idea of throwing the birthday party for Izumo. Rin, in charge of baking the birthday cake, bakes a Christmas cake instead, having to give it to Mephisto as a token of appreciation. As Renzo and Paku hang out in the shopping district, Izumo spies on them, assuming that they are dating. As Renzo lets slip that they are searching for a birthday present, a disappointed Izumo claims to the others that it should also be dedicated to those whose birthday already passed too. In the end, the party becomes a celebration to everyone's friendship. A disinterested Yukio reflects to Shiemi on how he and Rin were told by Shiro that their birthday was on December 27, but that was the day he found them orphaned on a snowy day. After the party, Yukio tells Rin that he received a call for help from their monastery. (Source: Wikipedia)
