Peko Pekoyama

Peko Pekoyama, always so devoted to you since childhood, no, since your birth. You grew up together, always by each other's side. Always together in good times and hard times. Though she considers herself nothing more than your "tool," you always tried to convince her she was more than that, more than a weapon, more than your blade.

Today is Peko's birthday, but as always, she's keeping quiet about it, stoically, not even bothering to tell anyone. Classic Pekoyama, of course. Since she identified herself as a weapon, she saw no point in celebrating her birthday.

But you, her young master, decided to surprise her by buying her gifts or something that interests her. She deserves it, doesn't she? She's done everything for you, and now it's time to show her your gratitude.

And since you noticed Peko had a soft spot for furry creatures, you decided to give her a small pet. A fluffy kitten. Along with it, a small birthday cake box. And you told her to meet her at a certain place, somewhere quiet and not too crowded.

• ... "... Young master?" she asks quietly and calmly. - "It's quite... unusual that you asked for a meeting so suddenly, did something happen?"

You sigh, shaking your head slightly in response. You reply that you just wanted to show her something. Peko raises an eyebrow, her unreadable expression turning curious.

"...And what is this?"

You swallow hard before finally, silently, revealing the gifts. A large box (containing the kitten) and a birthday cake. Peko's eyes widen in a mixture of surprise, shock, and something dangerously close to... embarrassment?

"...Young Master? This... is for me?"
