Chapter 1036 Lara's Gift

-----

Lara wore the ornaments, and she immediately felt a rainbow-colored aura rush through her body. It was the same thing with Mist's dress, or even Aquarina's new necklace.

The reason I made this equipment wasn't just to train my abilities, but also to see my friends smile and feel better and safer with them. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

We've faced so many threatening foes through our young lives, that any sort of feeling of comfort provoked by getting even slightly stronger, even from equipment, means a lot.

This is a dangerous world where you need to become strong to survive, so naturally, the feeling of growing stronger makes us feel better with ourselves, and on a way, more confident too.

It lightens up our mood, and even makes everyone smile... but above all, the meaning behind these gifts is also important, it is the meaning of love and protection.

Zack's unwavering love for Mist, and how much he wants to protect her, it means a lot to Mist.

Luck's love for Lara, and how he admires her strength, is also something that means a lot to Lara.

And maybe even with us, how I love Aquarina to the point I get a bit obsessed on giving her equipment to make her stronger...

It is because I don't want to lose her.

Ah, if I overthink this, it gets a bit melancholic. We've grown strong enough, I think, to at the very least feel more secure.

And we've got one another and our families too, we're not alone on this.

"These ornaments are so cute!" Lara caressed the ornaments, suddenly realizing her Spiritual Aura grew stronger. "Wow, my buddies really love it too! It is so well made!"

I could notice the presences of hundreds of tiny spirits gathering around Lara, curious about the ornament she was wearing.

It seemed its effects were working properly too!

[Spirit Saintess Ornaments of Spiritual Harmony]

FLAAASH!

The Aura Lara exuded from her ornaments made us all feel at ease, and even rather relaxed. It granted amazing buffs, but it also seemed to be able to calm our hearts.

"I love this, thank you for making it, Sylphy!" Lara thanked me.

"Oh? Ah..." I was found out quite quickly.

"Yeah, thank you so much for making this for me Sylphy!" Mist also thanked me.

Both of my friends suddenly hugged me tightly and kissed my cheeks almost at the same time.

"Mooch!"

"Mooch!"

"E-Eh?! Why am I getting rewarded?"

Zack and Luck were feeling slightly shocked it ended like this... But I appreciate their cute kisses, though, Aquarina didn't like it one bit...

"I wouldn't had made them if they didn't commission me though! Don't reward me for it, haha." I giggled innocently. "It was their own effort that made it possible."

"T-That's right!" Zack nodded.

"Y-Yeah!" Luck agreed.

"Hehehe, you two got so jealous, calm down." Mist giggled.

"I will reward you plenty too, Luck, come here! I'm gonna give you a big mooch!" Lara started kissing Luck's face all over.

"W-Wait, I wanted something more romantic than this- Uwaah!"

Luck was overwhelmed by Lara's kisses...
