Chapter 81 - Blue Stone Of Happiness (1/2)

After looking for a good few minutes, Lyn grew increasingly frustrated. Is it hopeless after all? She's bought nobody anything before, so maybe she doesn't have a good eye for these things. Perhaps jewel isn't the best way to go, just as Lyn was about to give up something caught her eye.

Ah, this, she's seen something like this before. Lyn picked up the pendant with the blue gem in the center. The elderly woman smiled, ”That's a good choice, dear, there is only one of that necklace.”

”Eh? Only one?” Lyn exclaimed, ”It must be valuable, how come,” actually the reason this one stood out to Lyn was because it seemed out of place from the rest.

”It was mine when I was younger; however, I have no use of it now. I'm old, and my partner has long gone,” the lady explained, ”I wish to find a suitable owner for it.”

Somebody suitable, Lyn was about to put it down, but the lady shook her head, ”Pardon me for saying so, but I've been watching you since earlier. You were looking around various stands with a nice-looking man. Your lover?”

”Ah, yes.”

It felt strange admitting this to a stranger, and she usually would be more cautious. But the old lady genuinely seems like a nice person. Besides it ought to be fine, nobody will recognize her here. Despite that knowledge, though, Lyn ensured that the hood of the cloak never fell. The woman's lips curve to a smile as she commented on him being a good man.

After purchasing the item, she returned to the bench and found Kazuya there. Lyn walked over, and Kazuta smiled, ”How was your shopping?”

”I'm sorry I disappeared.”

Kazuya shook his head, ”It's fine. I understand that traveling with two guys isn't exactly ideal; you can go off on your own and buy uhh things..”

Lyn flushed when she realized what Kazuya meant; he probably thought she wasn't buying anything earlier because she wanted to purchase female necessities. How embarrassing, Lyn took a deep breath, ”It's okay, I sorted that out before I left,” besides it's not like she is like all the other girls.

Kazuya nodded and reached over, Lyn's eyes lit up, and she immediately made her way over, and he plopped her onto his lap, ”My cute and pretty Lyn, are you having fun?”

”I am! There are so many things I haven't seen before here; I'm happy we came,” Lyn beamed happily as she spoke about the things she's liked on the journey so far. When Kazuya asked her if there was something she disliked, Lyn recalled him mentioning how eldest sister kissed him. Though Rhys looking at her distracted her thoughts for the rest of lunch, Lyn hadn't forgotten about it.

”Say, Kazuya?”

”What is it?”

”Um, did you like kissing my sister?”

Kazuya frowned, ”That's been bothering you?”

Lyn nodded, ”It has,” Lyn trailed off, ”I mean, I know my sister is beautiful, smart and can do anything. She has experience and isn't naive like me too,” Lyn emphasized the word experienced. If she had experience too, then this wouldn't be happening now. Though her sister has been waiting for the right person to show up, that doesn't mean sister hasn't dated other men before.

Kazuya replied to this by burying his face in her neck; Lyn looked at him, confused, ”What's wrong, Kazuya? Are you in pain somewhere?”
