Chapter 242 - Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [13] (1/2)

242. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [13]

When I mustered my courage and told her, “I would like to give this ring to you as a present,” Ria leaned forward with her big gleaming eyes.

「R-Really?」

「Aa. You always cook meals and take care of me. So, I just want to thank you for everything.」

As I immediately added that explanation,

「Y-Yay… Allen is going to… for me!」

She held her hands tightly in front of her chest and burst into joy uncontrollably.

(…Thank goodness.)

I never thought she would be so happy.

(I got to see Ria make such a happy face. I’ve already got enough for the value of 10 thousand gold.)

An indescribable large sense of fulfillment welled up from the bottom of my stomach.

Then I asked one of the employees to take the ring out of the glass case.

It seems to be a pretty popular product.

Luckily, one was left on display, and the size was perfect.

「We’re lucky today, Ria.」

「Yes!」

After that, when we lined up together at the register to pay for it,

「Ara, is it a present for your girlfriend?」

A female employee that’s about 30 years old with calm air surrounding her, asked so with a gentle expression.

「Eh, ah… No, we’re still… umm…」

「……」

I was troubled as to how to answer, whereas Ria came closer to my side with her face flushed.

The employee who witnessed that, whispered「Oh, I see I see…」

「Fufu, I hope it works out.」

She said that and handed me the ring in a beautiful little box.

Then we stepped out of the store and moved to the back alley where there are fewer people.

I was really embarrassed to give the present while being seen by people.
