Chapter 180: A Chance Meeting Under a Moonlit Night (4/4)
But she has her circumstances too, so if she says she doesnât like people and doesnât want to be with people, then it canât be helped.
I myself went into hiding in the forest before for similar reasons, so I wonât force her to get along with me.
And personally, I think itâs refreshing that sheâs so blunt.
That being said, if itâs not possible to save her favor for later, then unfortunately, I really donât have anything I need help with right now. At most, thereâs Hyuzu-san and the others, whoâve been knocked out could, butâ AHH!
âI completely forgotâŠâ [Ryouma]
âOh? Did you find something you need help with?â [Yui]
âI forgot to prepare a gift for Hyuzu-san and Rurunez-san⊠You know, a gift for the wedding. I was planning on thinking about what to get, but it ended up completely slipping my mind instead.â [Ryouma]
âIf you need a gift, then wouldnât that suffice?ăI donât think anyone could really find a better gift than that.â [Yui]
She was looking at the ceremonial hall we built. On the decorated pedestals were the three idols, butâŠ
âThatâs that, and this is this. Besides, I didnât build the ceremony hall all by myself. There were a lot of people who helped me. As for the idols, those were commissioned too, so they canât count either.â [Ryouma]
âI donât think anyone would really find fault with you if you didnât give anything after everything youâve done⊠But if thatâs how you feel, then I guess you should prepare something. Wedding gifts are pretty much decided, and Iâve had plenty of experience watching weddings.â [Yui]
âIn that case, do you think it would be possible for you to use that experience of yours, to find me a gift that wonât trouble the bride and groom, will be suitable for the occasion, and at the same time, is not common?â [Ryouma]
âBut, of course. Just give me a second. Only, are you really sure this is your wish?ăIâm sure I told you that I will only be giving you one favor.â [Yui]
âYes! Thisâll do!ăAfter all, this is whatâs troubling me the most right now!â [Ryouma]
Itâs already nighttime. Even if I tried to get something, the only time Iâll have to buy it is early in the morning, so it would really save me a lot of trouble if she could pick out a gift that I could prepare right now.
ââŠAlright then. An unexpected wish, but a wish all the same. As a professional at matchmaking, with my pride as a fairy that has successfully tied over 1,000 weddings on the line, I shall teach you a suitable gift that will not cause the bride and groom any problems, that will surely elate them, and that can be prepared now.â [Yui]
âReally!?â [Ryouma]
âYes. Now lend me your earâŠâ [Yui]
When I heard what she whispered into my ears, I couldnât help but become doubtful for a second.
âIsnât that unsuitable for a wedding present?â [Ryouma]
âNormally, yes, so use that for your material. Thatâs something you brought with you, right?ăI noticed that you still had some left over.â [Yui]
âBy âthatâ? Do you mean âthatâ?â [Ryouma]
âIn the end, superstitions are like some kind of word play in that how theyâre received depends on the person. All that really matters is that the recipient is happy⊠If youâre worried, then just say this when you hand over the presentââ [Yui]
It was in that way that the fairy that proclaimed herself as the familiar of another otherworlder taught me the secret plan of gift giving.
I was troubled by her sudden demands, but thanks to her, I was able to remember something important, so Iâll just call it even. More importantly, I need to get to work now. I wouldnât have to hurry so much if it was just something simple, but producing something I can be confident in takes time. I need to hurry!
By the way, I left the four wasted drunks to a person from the manor that I came across on the way back to my room.
