"Miss Aoi, please accept our humble gift."

"Very well."

"Miss Aoi, please accept this gift as a token of our appreciation and gratitude."

"Very well."

"Miss Aoi, please accept this gift on behalf of my family."

"Very well."

This morning, miss Aoi asks us to accompany her in her morning patrol.

We roam the downtown area and enter many places.

Hospital, schools, company, restaurant, facility.

Everywhere we go, people would swarm around miss Aoi and shower her with gift.

Talk about a celebrity, no... I believe miss Aoi is more popular than even celebrities.

On the other hand, care to guess who carry all of the gift?

"You guys can do it~!"

Maria wave and cheer us.

Yup, it was me and Vert who carry all of the lungage.

And now it's already surpass 2 meter high.

"How is it, do you like it, miss Aoi?"

"Mmm.. it's a nice photo."

A pair of highschool girl take a selfie with miss Aoi and they show miss Aoi the photo.

"Is it really ok though if we save this photo and use it as our profile picture on media social?"

The other highschool girl asks.

"I don't mind."

"Thank you!!"

Miss Aoi waves at the highschool girls as they left.

"Maria, handle these, will you?"

Miss Aoi hand over the highschool girls gift to Maria.

"Yes, miss."

"Here you go, Hans, Vert."

Maria happily take the gift and pile it up on top of Vert and my load.

"...Thanks, Maria..."

We half heartly thank Maria in unison.

"Your welcome."

Maria giggles and smiles.

"Now then... where to go..."

Miss Aoi look left and right, searching for spot to go.

I share a gaze with Vert and nod in agreement.

If this keeps up, it's only a matter of time before we lost our life.

We have to do something quickly.

"Before that, miss Aoi, may I?"

I interrupt miss Aoi.

"Hmm?"

Miss Aoi attention shifted to me.

"Before we continue our exploration, can we at least... well.. take a little break?"

I beg miss Aoi and carefully pick my choice of words and tone as to not offend her in any way.

"That's right, we hardly have any rest since we begin our activity this morning, so I suggest for us to take a little break."

Vert support me and try to plea with miss Aoi.

"Sigh.. just be honest and say that you two couldn't keep going anymore..." "And you guys were supposed to be a man..?" "I suppose I must enlist you guys in the department."
