In this world, Neptune had no authority, true, but she could certainly act as the authority figure she technically was in her world, to protect citizens... but there was definitely no harm in a toy gun. But a man as strong as the one in front of her, so big, so muscular... he definitely gave off the “ineffectual villain” vibe.
She of course wouldn’t test it in his direction - were he lying, it would make her a murderer... and even an attempted murderer wasn’t something she wanted to kill, especially a human one.
No, rather, she aims it directly on the empty ground in front of her... several feet away from Akihiko. Both hands on the gun and a pull of the trigger...
But nothing.
She examined the gun briefly... it didn’t look like there was a safety lock on it or anything like that. Despite it’s very gun-like weight... it was just a toy?
...
“ ... Welp, guess I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions there, dude! ”
She seemed convinced. She was fairly idealistic, and she didn’t see how a toy gun could be harmful... maybe this guy was just a big, harmless dork like he seemed to be. Given the shounen-like killer robots who were... just comically perverted businessman in her world, it was certainly fitting enough among her colorful cast of friends.
Her positive, bubbly attitude was back, as she walked toward him, gun in front of her - it wasn’t like she’d need it, after all. Her means of playing more consisted of rolling on the ground, giggling like a dork, and flirting with her friends - definitely nothing an uncomfortably-realistic gun would do for her.
Well, Akihiko, looks like this one was gonna go by more easi-
... And she did a playful gunshot. With the gun. Trigger and all. Right at his face. Did you really think we weren’t gonna have any problems?
