In Japanese, the days of a week are counted beginning with げつようび (Monday) and it is day number 1.
Then, かようび appears as day number 2.

Japanese weekday names consist of a single kanji element and the suffix “曜日”, meaning “day of the week”.

Machine translation results can vary depending on context and interface conditions,
but the lexical meaning of “かようび” remains “Tuesday”.

Wednesday
