Chapter 128 (1/2)

「Excuse m――…… huh?」

「Tak.u.mi-kun, welcome back. Allen-kun, Elensan, welcome back as well」

「Ah, we are back」

「「Are back~」」

When I returned to the Ruven House, I immediately sought out Mathias-san. I wanted to see him in order to get permisson to let the Pastel Rabbits stay at the mansion until I find someone to take them.

When I knocked at the door of Matthias-san’s office so that I could meet with him immediately, I got the permission to enter. But, when I looked into the office, I was startled by two men sitting on a sofa facing Matthias-san.

「So, what’s the matter?」

「I, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you had guests」

「They are people of a company I called for a private order, so it’s fine. Right, Tak.u.mi-san. Won’t you look at this for a bit?」

「Err…… yes, excuse me」

Matthias-san held out a few sheets of paper, so I approached Matthias-san, received the papers and checked the contents. They are apparently designs for a necklace.

The people Matthias-san is meeting seem to be jewelry merchants or perhaps designers?

「Allen too~」

「Elena too~」

「Ah, yes, yes」

While checking the designs, Allen and Elena drew closer to me. I stooped down to let the two see and the two peeked at the designs from the side.

「It’s for females, isn’t it? Is it perhaps for Rebeccsan?」

「Yeah, it’s almost Rebecca’s birthday, so it’s for a present. What do you think?」

「They are simple, but I think they are good designs」

「It’s simple after all……」

「……?」

There are three pictures of the designs, but all of them are metal pendants with a smallish pearl(?) attached to a chain. All are neat designs promoting the pearl. But, simple is apparently not good for Matthias-san.

「There’s no problem if there were for daily use, but taking them to an evening party would be……」

「Ahh……」

Indeed, it might be too simple for that……
