With a little pep in her step, Lady Ama greeted Yosuke with a nod white her tail wags in calm happiness, a plastic birthday bag hanging from her lower maw. Inside the bag was konpeito, some peaches, a few manga stash, and an orange wolf statuette carved from wood. Last but not least, a frog plush with plastic ninja shurikens in its hands and a orange scarf wrapped around its neck was nestled there too, it was specifically a tree frog because it might be fitting for Yosuke's swift and energetic personality.
[ Happy Birthday, Yo-chan. ]
Her voice purred affectionately, a warm and lax smile gently tugging at the ends of her lips akin to that of a proud mother. She is truly proud of how far him and the others have progressed.
[ It is always good to see your energy liven up everyone, myself included. I hope you have a great Birthday, dear. ]
He was used to one gift per person, so Ammy striding in with multiple made him feel like he was pulling some kind of scam. Yosuke fidgeted with the bag, which consisted of him sneaking a peek once in a while and wondering why there was so muchโnot that he was ungrateful because he was, but it was just a lot.
There was an awkward laugh when she used a tone that sounded a little too similar to his momโs, which caused him to run a free hand through his hair and wow, he could not think well all of a sudden, like he was embarrassed because... he didnโt know, but maybe he needed to not think about it.
โI uh, try my best.โ He nodded vigorously, as if that would explain everything. โBut really uh, thank you... Thereโs just a lot in here and I... It just took me off guard...โ Now it sounded like he was ungrateful and he wondered if he should have kept his mouth shut because he was ruining the good birthday vibes.
โUh, Iโll sneak out a small slice of cake later tonight for you...โ
Why was he treating a goddess like a regular dog...
