❝ is that really for me? thank you. ❞ she muttered. she was unsure if she should be honored by that or just scream internally. but the wrapped present seemed nice to her eyes. strawberries all over it.
❝ o—okay i will be ready then? ❞
she agreed. she was very lost however. so he wanted her to go along to this meeting, when she had no damn idea what to do. but obviously it was nothing good. when he had left and given her said present, she immediately gasped in surprise when she finished opening it.
❝ that’s a gun—!❞ she winced. she could tell it was a real one. just a small one. something that can be easily hide on everywhere on your body but it’s definitely a real gun! that made her tremble in shock. why did the major leaver her a gun as present? did he expect her to do something with that? or was it for safety? she had no idea but her fear and concern was swapped by side when butler came into the hall and talked to her.
❝ hau… captain butler-san?! ❞ his question took her out of her thoughts and she shook her head. ❝ no— no gabriel-sama gave that present to me. ❞
she explained as she still could only gaze confused at the weapon. ❝ i .. i don’t know why he gave this to me..❞ she was honest. although the ghq was the hq of an american army and hence full with soldiers she just didn’t understand why gabriel gave an amnesiac girl like her a gun. could she be in danger? but then.. doesn’t that confirm what she considered before? he knows her better than he tells. she swallowed a knot in her throat. eventually forcing a weak smile on her lips as she looked at butler and spoke with him in japanese.
❝ i’m glad major gabriel-sama saved my life but i don’t have a crush or anything of that sort butler-san. but…but there’s something else i’d like to ask—❞ she replied with a bashful blush. she then took that cleaned photo of the greenete:
❝ sonozaki…. does that name say anything to butler-san? i wonder… ❞
