Chapter 17-1

Sion felt a strange sense of difference and moved on.

Normally, he would have passed it off as something that happens occasionally and not thought much of it.

But this time, he couldnt help but smile, and glance at Hanette.

It must be inevitable to develop feelings. Were right next to each other, and we work together a lot.

Sion looked around after setting up the fallen chair.

Hanette was still glaring at him with the box in her arms.

Sion couldnt help but laugh at how absurd she was.

What are you doing?

You might take it while opening the box.

I wont take it, so come over here.

How can I trust you? Step back.

Ah!. Do as you wish.

Sion sat down in front of the table and raised his head.

Hanette carefully began to tear the packaging while keeping an eye on Sion.

Dont expect too much. It may not be what my sister likes.

You wont give something obvious as a gift.

My sisters personality is so picky that I cant give her anything obvious.

Do you know what I hate?

My sister just seem to hate the world in general.

Haha! Youre talking weird.

Hanette laughed out loud, but there was no smile on her lips.

Perhaps Sions words could be right.

As a noblewoman, she enjoyed many things in life, but she was never satisfied with it.

What could be bothering her so much?

Am I excited to open it before even seeing it?

Hanette mulled over Sions words as he looked down at the box.

It was so small that it barely fit in her hand.

A sweet yet deep scent emanated from the box.

Could it be that he bought something useless, like cosmetics or jewelry?

..I dont like those kinds of things.

Hannet opens the box with a slightly disappointed expression.

Something glittering begins to show through the silk that was stacked neatly.

Although the little expectation that remained seemed to be broken, at the same time, questions were bound to arise.

Her judgment seemed to have been clouded by the unexpected situation.

What else are you going to say?

I just told you to know. Do you understand now?

Whats the point? Wake up. Do you think your feelings will be felt because you said that?

If you dont feel it, theres nothing I can do. my sister didnt know even though I made an effort.

Are you blaming me now?

If I explain, you wont understand. So, its my sisters fault.

Youre twisting words weirdly!

Whats weird about it?

That

Hanette stuttered and eventually shut her mouth.

Honestly, she understood Sions words.

I just didnt want to be persuaded by a typical excuse that didnt seem convincing..

It doesnt matter how you give the gift. I showed my sincerity, so thats enough.

Isnt that too irresponsible? What if I take advantage of it and sell it?

Its an unavoidable. Now its my sisters possession, what can I do?

Youre really weird. You know that?

The weird one is my sister. How could you even think about selling It?

I just made an assumption, okay?

Couldnt you wear it around your neck?

How could I even wear something like this?

Then why dont you just use it as decoration in the room?

Sion looked at Hanette and then quickly left the room.

Hanette tried to say something, but couldnt open her mouth.

Well, Ive done my share, but theres nothing to lose.

Sion had already shown the gift to Yenid and had asked if it was okay.

So, Robbins would find out about it, and Fred would naturally hear about it.

Since I did as Fred hoped for Hanette, a plausible excuse was created.

After buying gloves with the remaining money I can draw Exceed Rain.

Holy water had to go through a special process to drink it and get immunity to magic power erosion.

After that, he had to prepare equipment to draw Exceed Rain.

Since he had a fairly decent amount of money, it shouldnt have been too difficult to win the bid.

Finally, the time has come for me to become strong too.
