Today is Gorou's birthday, let's go and celebrate with him!
Paimon: Gorou—！
Gorou: You're here. This smell... Did you guys put something on?
Paimon: That's... actually the plant essential oil we were planning to give you...
Paimon: *sobs* The surprise is ruined. Your nose is way too good, Gorou! Next time... Next time we'll definitely choose an oil with no fragrance...
Gorou: Haha, thank you both. I'm very happy you even thought of me.
Gorou: Come to think of it, I encountered a similar problem recently while I was writing a reply for "That's Life" magazine. There was a reader who wrote to the magazine, saying—
Letter From Reader: "Our boss' birthday is soon, and we want to prepare a surprise for him. His nose is really sensitive. Be it cake or fresh flowers, he'll always notice what we get him way before we present it to him."
Letter From Reader: "Our boss is a gentle and considerate person, so he always goes along with it and acts really surprised every time. But we still want to see his face when he actually gets surprised for once... This time, we'll definitely try our very best to keep it a secret!"
Letter From Reader: "One of his hobbies is mountaineering, so everyone chipped him to get him a new set of climbing gear, but we don't know how to pick one for him..."
Traveler: So how did you reply, Gorou?
Gorou: I just so happen to go mouintaineering pretty often too, so I just recommended the gear I'm currently using. It's not anything fancy, but it's sturdy and durable.
Gorou: A gift is valuable because of the thought and intention behind it, not because someone spent a lot of money getting it.
Gorou: Ahem... Back on topic. Dinner's about to be ready. We should head in.
Gorou: Huh? There's a box in front of the door...
Paimon: That's probably the birthday present the soldiers got you! You should open it up and see what it is!
Gorou: Mmm!
Gorou: ...
Gorou: Hahahaha! It was them all along!
Paimon: Wait, what are you laughing at? What's inside?
Gorou: It's the climbing gear I recommended.
