Chapter 50 Proof Of Our Friendship

"Please close your eyes and endure it Aura-chan.."

"Nnngghhhh...''

"Here I go young lady"

[ Plop... ]

"Ah.."

I turn my head so I won't face her, I don't want to see what kind of face Aura-chan is making right now considering what we are doing right now, I can't look into her blood dripping at that place.

"It's not hurt right, young lady?"

"Y-Yes, it feels better now..."

"And here."

"*Ugyah..... "

What was that sound Aura-chan is making? I really want to look at her, but I can't look at her if it's hurt for her, I don't want to see her face in pain.

"Guuuhh... this is really the real thing young boy, you have such cutie as your friend like her"

I'm still closing my eyes because I don't know what is happening right now, are they done yet? I feel all nervous just for holding Aura-chan's hand with a handkerchief.

"Look over here young lady, you are so pretty right now, this lad sure have good taste, hahaha"

"I think you can look now, Erwin"

I slowly open my eyelids right after a hand pats me on the shoulder, uncle Alto was watching us all the time and he looks pity on me for some reason.

"H-How is it..."

What appears before me is a beauty who got blushed, I can see her cheeks turns red for a moment there, I'm frozen for a second there, she looks so dazzling right now.

"You sure have a good eyes lad, the earing goes well with her, it's like a hidden gem of this beauty"

I'm dazzled with how well actually the earing goes with her, the snow shaped earing hiding in her hair and when it tufted, the shining silver earing will be seen dazzling there, satisfying eyes that see it.

"It's so fit for you Aura-chan, why don't you take it? Erwin will buy it for you"

"*nod.. nod.. , Uncle Alto is right, it's suit... EH?"

"I mean you pick it right? you have to take responsibility after making her suffer from the pain while she's trying to make a hole in her ear"

Ughh.. uncle Alto, you make it sounds like I'm forcing her to do it, why am I the bad guy here.

Well, at first I wanted to give Aura-chan something too since she is now will be living with us, I want to give her a welcoming gift and sign of our friendship.

"I-It's fine Erwin-san, you don't need to give me such..."

"No Aura-chan, I wanted to give you something as a sign of our friendship, we all gonna live together from now on right? let's get along"

I pull my hand to her, giving a sign to shake our hand together, it's the start of this new family, and I will protect them all, I promise.

"But lad, I can't believe my customer right now is a young magician, the moment you pull out the ice with your magic is really impressive, it really helped me to do the piercing on that young lady's ear ,you could make money with that talent, like, maybe you can be a top rank adventurer? but if the kingdom ever takes an interest to you..."

"Hm? what is it?"

"Ah no, don't worry, I'm just saying that you are a one awesome lad I've met so far, hahaha"

I don't really catch what he's saying at the end, I'm still looking for what present should I give to

Elis-nee, I really wanted to give her something fits her, but I guess I will just go with uncle Alto's suggestion, the bracelet he showed me before is really cool.

"I will take these all three then, uncle."

"Ohh... thanks a bunch, for you I think I shall give a discount, hahaha"

"Really? Thanks, uncle"

"Hahaha, good for you Erwin"

I nod excitedly with a big smile on my face, the merchant is really a good person, this is the first time I get a discount while shopping, hahaha, I don't usually do the shopping back in the home, Ilya-nee always did it but she sometimes invites me to do shopping.

We leave that stall and I wave at the merchant and said thank you, this is really my lucky day if I would say and I even getting closer to Aura-chan, I think it's double lucky because I think starts to feel more comfortable around me and uncle Alto, well she got so terrified at time where I ask her to pierce her ear to be able to use the earing, I suddenly feel so bad for doing that.

I look at Aura-chan who is walking behind us playing with the earing she just got, her cheeks look a bit red and she seems to be so happy with her new earing, I'm glad I gave her that as a gift sign of our friendship.

. . . . . . . . .

*Gasp...

"I FORGOT IT!!!"

"Woahh.. calm there Erwin, what did you forget?"

"Yuika-chan, I forgot to buy her a souvenir too"

I'm looking helplessly at uncle Alto, he just faces palming himself and let out a deep sigh.
