"Gil!!"

Gilbert groaned when he heard his young master's voice echoed through the huge mansion. He walked toward the voice limply. Now what is it?

"GIL! GET HERE NOW!"

Gilbert groaned again, "Coming, Young Master!" and he fastened his pace to the Vessalius mansion's front yard.

Gilbert dumped down on his own legs when he caught a view in front of him.

"Young Master…" he croaked out in desperation.

Oz waved his hand enthusiastically to Gilbert, his other hand holding… a bucket of flower.

"Get here!" Oz ordered. Gilbert walked toward his master half-heartedly.

"Yes, Young Master?"

"Geez… what's wrong with you? Cheer up, Gil!" Oz hummed happily. He put the bucket on the ground and laid his body against the grass.

"What is it that Master called me?" asked Gilbert, following his master to lie down on the ground.

Oz smiled at this. Both of them laid still in silence for a brief moment.

"Gil?" Oz called out softly.

"Yes, Master Oz?"

"Don't you think it's great, Gil?"

"What, Young Master?"

"The fact that you are here for me."

Gilbert blinked. "Young Master…?"

Oz heaved a sigh. "Thank you for being my friend, Gil."

"Friend? But Master, I—!"

"Hey." Oz pulled himself up, staring at Gil with warm eyes. "Would you promise me one thing?"

"W-What?"

"Just say, would or wouldn't?"

"I… all right, I will, Master."

"Please be my friend until the end of our life."

Gilbert sat up abruptly. "Master, that's—"

"Gil, I'm just so happy that I have you beside me, with Ada," said Oz calmly, reaching his hand to the sky. "I always wanted a brother. But of course, I love Ada. I will always. But… having you as my friend and my brother, it makes me feel so happy. I want it to be like this forever. Playing with you, laughing with you, everything. Doing everything with you and having you beside me, as my friend and my brother. So promise me you will be my friend, until the end of our life."

Gilbert relaxed at this. He smiled and grabbed Oz's hand, "I promise, Young Master."

Oz laughed and stood up, pulling up Gilbert, "Alright! So, let's get going, Gil!"

"To where, Master?"

"Hm… to our another adventure and fantasy! Doesn't it sound great?" Oz grinned. He took the bucket of the flower from the ground and gave it to Gilbert, "This is, Gil, for our friendship."

Gilbert received it, a feeling of comfortable warmth suddenly filled his whole body. This is why he loves his master so much.

Gilbert nodded and he smiled again, grateful that he was taken in as a part of the Vessalius family.
