55 – Necklace of Courage (1)

bean bean.

Miss Aedrin put her hands behind her back and approached me with brisk steps.

“By the way, this looks a little precious, is it okay?”

Knock knock.

Aidrin lightly touched my shoulder with her shoulder, as if leaning against it with her hands on her back.

The corners of her mouth were gently relaxed, and she was gently drawing the shape of a 3.

The coexistence of cheerfulness and mischievousness seemed to have translated the exclamation of ‘oh-ol~’ into facial expressions.

“hahahaha, are you asking too soon? Don’t you usually ask before accepting something like that?”

“Give and take away… !?”

At my words, Miss Aedrin grabbed the necklace with both hands and stepped back.

“… ”

But then he untied his hands and muttered while observing them with the necklace on his hands.

“Wow, sure. Looking at it, it looks very precious.”

Miss Aedrin looked at the necklace and at me, then carefully removed the rhyme.

“You, where the hell did you get such a precious thing? no way… !”

Kugoong!

Miss Aedrin said with wide eyes as if she had realized something.

“you you… ! You didn’t steal this!?”

“hahahaha, how do you view Miss Aedrin?”

what.

come on

‘How is it?’

Come to think of it, did you steal it?

‘You didn’t even just steal it, did you root after going through your pockets?’

Ah, assassins are zero calories?

“What, what! Why avert your eyes!? Did you really steal this!?”

“Ahahahaha, kidding. It’s a joke. By the way, I was stealing to give Miss Aedrin a present. I don’t know what to do with you considering me so romantic.”

“That, right? Didn’t you steal it? Phew, I’m glad~”

Don’t worry Miss Aedrin.

It wasn’t stolen from a good person, it was collected from the Horosipsae.

‘… Oh, that’s embarrassing?’

But once I became conscious of it, I keep worrying about it.

No matter how much he searched, he was dismissed as a deserving guy, and he used the stuff he had rooted after soaking in a person.

Is that correct?

‘Don’t get hit anyway.’

When I think to myself, it doesn’t matter at all.

A disgusting, blind-eyed guy like me can’t be honest enough to spend all his energy needlessly worrying about each and every one of those things.

By the way, do you gift that item to someone else?

That worries me a bit.

It feels like the dirty ingredients of Adoni’s long nails on the necklace are also buried on other people.

If the gift target is a trash with a low personality like me, it might be okay.

But it’s Miss Aedrin.

A pure and delicate girl in her prime.

Can I present something with such a hot past to such a lady?

‘It’s embarrassing.’

At that time, Miss Aedrin, who was fiddling with the necklace, exclaimed, ‘Huh!’

“What, what!? Eh, this!? Is this an artifact?”

“yes? An artifact?”

I pretended not to know

If a commoner like me brought a heroic artifact as a gift, it would be too suspicious, so I decided to write a new setting.

setting.

Ceylon only knows that necklace as a little precious necklace.

input complete.

“An artifact, what do you mean by that?”

“is not it… ? Is it an illusion… ?”

Miss Aedrin put her ear close to the necklace.

What are you doing Miss Aedrin?

It’s not like putting your ear to some kind of magic conch beat.

The artifact doesn’t have that feature.

“It’s subtle, but I think I could feel the mana… ?”

Artifacts refer to objects that contain the effects of mana through magic engineering or magic.

As such, the artifact contains a vast amount of mana comparable to that of a golem, but-

It was difficult to feel the mana contained in the artifact.

‘Put it in’

In other words, the key to determining the quality of an artifact is how much mana is stored well so that it does not leak out.

Paradoxically, the more well-made an artifact is, the less mana you can feel.

Miss Aedrin, who is currently at the level of 3 stars, feels mana from a hero grade artifact?

It won’t be easy.

There are two possibilities.

1. The design of the necklace was so noble and mysterious that I was mistaken for Aidrin.

2. Miss Aedrin was born naturally sensitive to mana.

‘As expected of Miss Aedrin.’

I liked number 2 better, so I decided to believe number 2.

“… I can’t either.”

Soon after, Miss Aedrin undid the necklace and handed it back to me.

“Idiot, I don’t think I can get this.”

“You don’t have to be burdened?”

“In the first place, where did you get this necklace from?”

It’s a secret.

If I said that now, it would be like admitting that it was stolen property.

But he was Harasin’s direct descendant, Master George, and he stole it.

However, since I didn’t want to lie to Miss Aedrin again, I decided to blur it out.

“In the past, I got it in the process of helping someone in trouble.”

It wasn’t a lie, as it was rooted from Adoni, the long-nailed man who saved Sinia from trouble and put her in trouble.

“I received this in return… ?”

If you answer, it will be a lie, so smile while remaining silent.

Miss Aedrin looked at me like that and said with a serious face.

“really really. really! Where did you steal it from!?”

What I felt from that serious face was not doubt, but concern.

‘What kind of mother are you, Miss Aedrin?’

To reassure Miss Aedrin, I spoke in the most non-delusive manner possible.

“hahahaha, would I go that far to present it to Miss Aedrin? Please don’t worry about that.”

“Ah, is that so? okay. There’s no way you’d go that far just to give it to me. yes?”

“That’s right!”

What did you not like about my cool answer?

Miss Aidrin, who had been dancing with a carefree look on her face until just a moment ago, was making a grumpy face.

“Well, anyway-“

Miss Aedrin caressed the necklace in her hand once more, then handed it to me again.

“I don’t think I can get this.”

“You don’t have to worry about it.”

“You care a little bit, you idiot. Did you find out what kind of item this was and gave it to me as a gift? What if it’s an extremely valuable item?”

“Since it looks like a nice item, isn’t it a present for Miss Aedrin?”

“… ”

From noble mtl dot com

The corner of Miss Aedrin’s mouth became forceful and formed a ‘~’ wavy shape.

Miss Aedrin averted her gaze with a sullen expression and then spoke.

“He just spits out whatever he wants.”

“yes? I beg your pardon?

“You idiot who said he’ll only accept your heart! How can you accept something that looks so precious!”

The human mind was so strange.

Even when the necklace was taken away just before by Miss Aedrin, as if it were almost robbed, I couldn’t help but feel so sad and unfair.

By the way, since Miss Aedrin is trying to return the necklace like this?

‘You don’t want to receive it again?’

In my head, something like ‘the reason why my right arm panicked and narrowed my eyes when Miss Aedrin refused the necklace’ comes to mind.

According to him, Miss Aedrin should have that necklace.

The first reason why it should be.

once it fits

Miss Aedrin, with glossy orange hair and eyes.

A necklace containing courage with jewels tinged with brilliant orange.

It’s hard for me to think of more combinations than that.

I wonder if there is anyone who can pull off that necklace as well as Aidrin.

And the second reason.

Come to think of it, selling hero grade artifacts to the auction house-

So, it didn’t seem like a very wise decision to distribute it on the market.

Then, he might be able to earn living expenses right away and live a good life at the academy.

But that’s a hero class artifact.

Considering the power contained therein, the act of circulating that artifact?

In effect, it was like distributing military weapons on the market.

That artifact turns around and ends up in the hands of the bad guys?

My choice could have resulted in empowering my enemies.

Right now, the Artifact was a large part of the reason Adoni with Long Nails was able to gain a comparative advantage when fighting Sinia.

Resistance to the status ailment ‘Fear’.

Anyone who has ever fought an actual battle knows how useful it is in real life.

thus.

If there is an artifact that has a meaningless effect on the power but has no meaning to me, it was right to hand it over to the hero faction, which can be regarded as my ally.

‘It’s the feeling I give to the sub.’

Our Miss Aedrin is undoubtedly a good man, and one of the main figures in the heroic faction.

Besides, he was one of the people this necklace would look best on.

There was no one more suitable as the owner of this necklace than Miss Aedrin.

Having made up my mind, I quickly withdrew my hand when Miss Aidrin tried to place the necklace on my palm.

“Hey! What are you doing!”

“Miss Adrin, I’ve already made up my mind. So please accept it.”

“Ah! Even if it’s okay! How can I receive such a precious thing! I will only receive it with gratitude, so give it back! Take it!”

However, Miss Aedrin’s resistance (?) was stronger than expected.

Miss Aedrin swung her arm vigorously in an attempt to somehow snatch my hand and place the necklace on it.

It was at this point that I felt that way.

‘Do you have anything to insist on giving to Miss Aedrin, who is embarrassed?’

Miss Aedrin was the ‘most’ suitable person to be the owner of this necklace.

But are you the only one who is suitable as the owner of this necklace? If you ask me, that wasn’t the case again.

“Then, if you give it to Miss Miz or the amount you gave…”

With that thought in mind, I tried to accept the necklace Miss Aedrin gave me.

“…!”

Then, Miss Aidrin walked away from me, holding the necklace with both hands.

“Hmm? What? Didn’t you want to give it back?”

“Ah, no…! Why is the story like that!? You said you prepared it for me, so why did those two-“

“That’s right… Miss Aedrin doesn’t accept it…?”

drain!

Miss Aedrin groaned while holding the necklace with both hands.

“Why do you talk like that, you fool! If I don’t take it, you just have to have it!”

“But… it doesn’t mean anything if I have it.”

“…That, and!”

Miss Aedrin suddenly averted her gaze and continued speaking with a puzzled expression.

“You said that it suits me well. That’s just what you said…!?”

hmm.

what.

I couldn’t figure out why Miss Aedrin was doing that.

‘That’s why I’m saying I’m going to accept the necklace or not.’

It is the heart of a young lady in her prime.

It’s difficult.

At least, it wasn’t something I could carelessly deal with, since most of my female experience is still in 2D.

Having lost my confidence, I proceeded cautiously.

“So, if possible, I would be most happy if Miss Adrin would accept it…”

“…”

ok

Aidrin crossed her arms and went into trouble mode.

And then, ‘Ah!’ Float a light bulb above your head.

“Then let’s do this! There’s an appraiser I know in District 2, right?”

“Are you an appraiser?”

“Yes! Let’s go to that appraiser and get this necklace appraised. Then-“

Miss Aedrin took something out of her bosom and placed it in the palm of her hand.

The outside was bumpy and heavy. It was a coin pouch.

“I’m paying for the appraised value. How is it?”

“Uh… then it won’t be a gift anymore…”

And above all –

I looked at the heavy pockets that were the source of Miss Aedrin’s triumphant confidence.

Ahem!

Looking at that elated face, it’s probably full of gold coins.

however-

‘Heroic level artifacts are usually worth a certain amount.’

Then, I remembered a phrase I saw on Wiki one day.

[According to the story, the value of a hero-class artifact is equivalent to a mansion in a wealthy village in a large city]

“uh…”

As I recalled that phrase, I looked at Miss Aidrin’s bag full of gold coins once again.

‘Can I buy a mansion in District 1 with that pocket…?’

Maybe it’s not enough.

without even that.

“What~ What are you going to do~ I said I would buy it with my own money, but what would a fool do?”

However, when I saw Miss Aedrin’s shoulders lifted in high spirits, I couldn’t bear to say it.

“That’s right, then.”

therefore.

I was just desperately wishing.

I hope that the skills of the appraiser that Miss Aedrin knows are utterly lacking.

So, beat the value of that necklace to the point where I can buy it with the gold coins in my pocket.
