It was undeniably salt

Because there were still a few of the biscuits left, Anee for the tea

When she glanced up fro on the chair by the counter, completely unmoved

“Maybe… I was conceited, and… Possibly I should have taste tested…”

It’s likely because Deneb was good at cooking that this failure crushed her more than usual Anemone herself knehy she was depressed

Deneb is a an family, who are descended froood at chores and cooking It wasn’t boasting to say she had never committed this bad of a mistake

Her eable… no, a lifetime… Umu…”

She exuded quite the scary, black aura

It’d good to understand that in her family of ladies, they had a bad habit to overly self-examine themselves

“…Uum…”

Anerowled quietly in her helmet

She wanted to cheer up the depressed lady, but she couldn’t figure out what to say and didn’t want to irritate her

Soood at this

She turned her eyes to Fujiwara, hoping for help, but he was silently staring at her When she looked down his line of sight and at his unusually serious face, she gave a silent nod

“…”

‘I see’, Aneht

Fujiwara’s reasoning was one no one else could apply Rather than what he could be gawking at, she kneas only earnestly interested in a good old-fashi+oned Granting Tool ‘At times like these he’s quite dependable’

“Mrs Deneb”

Fujiwara took action

Anemone approached the lady with an ‘Excuse me’, and clasped her thin, white hand slowly

Deneb was, naturally, perplexed

“Yes, Mr Fujiwara?”

“Pardon me, but,”

“Yes……?”

Herher head

“I’ve been interested in this since you entered the store, but it’s quite fascinating Based on the degradation, it’s a es’”

Deneb’s face turned troubled

Anemone had noticed

Fujiwara hadn’t noticed

The cause of his serious look, rather than the depressed Deneb, it was the thing on her finger

His curiosity was caused by an item he rarely saw

“May I look at the ring?”

‘No, he’s not rude

This should be expected of him, because he’s stupid’

The man who can’t read the cli troubled or depressed

Aneently put the tray on the counter and prepared for the Appraisal

“First off…”

Fujiearing his

Although it looked nor process, the material’s coloration was near skin color On the outside was a lightly painted maiden and finely crafted rubies that looked matched her rosy hair In it, ‘For the beauty that was so pretty I could not breathe’

“…Hmm”

At first glance, this looked like a Ring of Charm

That’s the naive the wearer a beautiful appearance The effect also worked for h in both genders, looking for e partners

But, most of the time, the beauty only increased in simple ways

“Uh…”

Fujiwara concentrated desperately with his ‘Spell of Re i a pattern, almost like blue ic Circuit

“Indeed… This is definitely a Granting Tool”

His intuition told hi of Charm’

Many people misunderstood its effects in that it doesn’t truly increase beauty, it simply made those nearby feelpheromone traces from the user

But the sns of any bodily changes, anyway Therefore, Fujiwara felt it was another kind

“Deneb, have you felt tired lately?”

“Oh… Yes, I’ve been dizzy until a while ago Lately it’s been all the ti tired fro…”

“I see

“Is this a,” Deneb approached, see of Charm”?

“I’ll appraise it a bit”

Fujiwara answered with a pleasant smile

She had been wearing this ring without appraising it

This ‘Ring of Char her, so most would think to take it to an appraiser, instead of wearing it around

Fujiwara tied back his hair, and decided to begin appraisal right away
