“If you want it come get it!” Komaru declared happily while running away with Toko’s Glasses.
“Komaru, you Dummy! Give them back!” Toko cried and tried to catch up.
Then, as Komaru ran behind a corner, she stood still with her hands spread.
Toko: “Give me that!”
When she snapped her glasses and put them on, her pupils expanded.
Komaru: “Tadaaaaa...”
Behind her was a large well put together Birthday Party with Toko’s name written by crayons on the decorations.
Toko, standing in awe, asked as she walked: “You did this... For me?”
“Yeah, and it wasn’t easy, but I made it just in time.” She showed her hands and the injuries she suffered trying to set this place up.
“Why?” Toko asked.
Komaru then looked away, smiled, and declared after grabbing Toko’s hands: “You’re my Best Friend! My Sister even! We’ve been through a lot together. We are still fighting for our lives. Together! If it wasn’t for you, none of this would’ve been possible!”
Toko frowned in that moment and admitted: “I literally tried to kill you and sell you off at one point.”
Komaru: “And it made me stronger!”
Toko faced Komaru when she heard that, seeing the glimmer in her eyes.
“If you didn’t turn on me that day, I would’ve stayed the same drab frightened girl who never did anything important in her life. That Fight taught me Independence, and I’m very grateful to have you as my friend!” Komaru poured her heart out saying that.
Toko: “I....”
Her lips quivered, but she held back her tears.
Komaru: “Ah! I almost forgot!”
She left Toko and went inside, coming back with a Big Birthday Cake with the words, “To My Best Friend” written on it.
“I...” Toko was failing to hold back her tears, “I Don’t Deserve Thiiiiss!!!” She started crying as her tears and snot covered her face.
“Awah?” Komaru was surprised, “Why are you crying???”
Toko: “I Do~ I don’t~ Awaaaahahahahaaaaaa!”
She was unable to hold back her tears and cried a lot because of what Komaru did, making her look around and wonder in confusion.
Komaru then put the cake down and hugged Toko, trying her best to comfort her: “It’s okay, it’s okay; I didn’t mean to make you cry! I’m sorry!”
Toko: “You~! Don’t~! Get it~! You Drab~! Stupid~! Gullible~! Bitch~!”
Though she was insulting, Komaru tightened her embrace and replied: “Today is your birthday, feel free to call me whatever you want.”
Toko: “You~! .....Awaaaaaaaaaa!!”
She submitted and hugged Komaru, admitting in tears: “I don’t deserve you at all! Thank you! Thank you, you Drab Gullible Moron!”
Komaru started patting Toko’s head and whispered in her ear: “I love you too.”
{Happy Birthday Toko Fukawa}
