... another drone... huh...?

Ah... happy birthday, Kiske-san...

[sacred_thunder]

Oh. Thank you, Reisen.

[stop_it_tewi]

S-so, um... what's traditional for celebrating your birthday in the world you come from? I can put together a birthday cake if you want. Unless Master is already taking care of that...

[sacred_thunder]

If you would like to, then by all means bake one. But, to be honest, I haven't had a normal birthday celebration in thirteen years.

[stop_it_tewi]

Huh? Really? Why not?

Also, um... is there any particular type of cake you would prefer?

[sacred_thunder]

I was born in the midst of a war that raged for a century. That war left me an orphan by the time I was ten.

Not particularly. Make whatever you like.

[stop_it_tewi]

O-oh, I'm sorry... ... how could a war go on for that long...? Ah... y-you don't need to answer that.

Um, were you planning on a party or should I just make a small cake...?

[sacred_thunder]

No, it's fine. You see, in 2079, a group of...beings named Gears decided to annihilate humanity. As a result, humans and Gears fought each other in a war known as the Crusades, and it ended almost a century later.

No party is planned. You can make it to serve my family and yourself.

[stop_it_tewi]

Ah... that must have been ... terrible... And I thought the Lunar War was bad...

[sacred_thunder]

But humanity survived, and that is what's important now. So long as we can rebuild the world while never forgetting the price we paid, humanity will recover.
