[ Please do not start purring good boy at him, he might actually crash and someone will have to reboot him. Not literally, but it'll be a lot.
Still, he beams a little when she mentions that the present is nice, and that it's a smart thing to do. The second time he's heard this on this endeavor, and it makes him feel just a bit like he's walking on air. A choice he made? A decision he made? Smart? He did a good job? Mizuki is not a Perro, but if he were, he would absolutely be wagging his tail right about now.
