C.1557 – Gifts for My Lovers ⑧

After visiting Fate-san, I decided to visit Dr. Viers clinic. At first, I was thinking of going to Isis-sans place first, but when I checked the time after visiting Fate-san, I realized that if I were to head there right now, I would be able to see Dr. Vier between her morning and afternoon consultations at her clinic.

Well, the break time actually depends on the patients, and its not necessarily the case that shed always have the time to take a break but fortunately, she didnt have any urgent work to do at the moment, as she seemed to be taking a break drinking herb tea when I arrived.

[Welcome. You have great timing, I just brewed a fresh pot of herb tea.]

[Hello, Dr. Vier. Ahh, that great timing You mean, to brew your tea again?]

[Unnn. I kinda dropped the pot earlier]

[Ahh, I see.]

It seemed like she was as clumsy as usual, as she had already dropped a pot of herb tea she had brewed once. As I watched Dr. Vier scratched her head with a wry smile, a wry smile also appeared on my lips. Even though she was quite clumsy a lot of times, Dr. Vier is a Peak Count-rank, so its a bit reassuring to not have to worry about her getting burned or injured Well, thats probably why she was so negligent that she screws up so often

[So, whats the subject for your visit today?]

[Ahh, you see, I mentioned before that I was going to have a stall at Archlesia Empires Founding Festival, right?]

[You did say that. Even though it hasnt been that long since Symphonia Kingdoms Founding Festival, youre quite the busy bee, Miyama-kun~~]

[Ahaha, well, in a way, Symphonia Kingdoms Founding Festival is also the reason why Im attending there.]

In the first place, this all started when Amel-san felt down because I didnt invite her when I opened a stall for Symphonia Kingdoms Founding Festival.

Thinking that way, in a sense, its like I opened a stall at Archlesia Empires Founding Festival because I opened one at Symphonia Kingdoms Founding Festival.

[In that case, why dont you complete the set and participate in Hydra Kingdoms Founding Festival as well?]

[No, as expected, thats just rough. If I were to participate in Hydra Kingdoms Founding Festival, I would rather just be looking around the stalls.]

[Ahh~~ I see, that certainly is difficult to do when youre opening a stall, isnt it? During Symphonia Kingdoms Founding Festival, I was also involved in helping at an external relief facility, so I didnt have much time to look around.]

[Because many people inevitably get injured in the heat of the moment, doctors certainly are busy.]

Dr. Vier helped out at a simple relief facility where doctors gathered for Symphonia Kingdoms Founding Festival. It was like those first-aid tents at events, where injured and sick people get treated.

[No, please dont worry about it. So, getting to the point]

When I explained that I made the accessories to give to my lovers when I made the products to sell at the Founding Festival, Dr. Viers eyes lit up and she looked happy.

[Ahh, I got it! Its a ring, right? If Im not mistaken, otherworlders give them to their lover as a gift!]

[Well, you arent mistaken, but youre having some misunderstanding In any case, unfortunately, what Im giving you now isnt a ring.]

Perhaps the ring that Dr. Vier is thinking about is the engagement ring. In the world of polygamous Trinia, the culture of giving an engagement ring to your spouse doesnt exist. Instead, there are some similar exchanges, such as exchanging matching jewelry at weddings

[I see~~ Not now huh~~ Then, the ring would come at a later dateright?]

[Y- Youre right.]

Mhmm? Could she actually not be misunderstanding and actually had an accurate understanding of how rings in our world works? H- Hmmm, Im not sure. She kinda has this mischievous smile on her lips, but at the same time, that doesnt seem to be the case.

[W- Well, for the time being, what Ive prepared for you is a necklace.]

[Ohh, its beautiful. Its silver, no, gray? It looks like my hair color.]

[Yes, I actually chose the jewel based on the color of Dr. Viers hair, which is a combination of Gray Diamond and Platinum.]

What I prepared for Dr. Vier was a necklace. First of all, since Dr. Vier is a doctor, I thought accessories worn on the hands and arms might get in the way. Also, she wears something like a headdress for nuns, so I thought hair ornaments and earrings might not be visible, which is why I chose a necklace.

As for the reason why I chose to make it into a cross-like shape, well, her nun-like clothes really just had this strong impression on me.

[Thank you! Im really glad~~ Wait, Ill have to properly cast State Preservation magic on it and make sure I wont break it.]

[If youre delighted with it, it would make me happy too.]

[Ehehe Ahh, by the way, do you still have some free time?]

[Yes, I dont have any urgent plans.]

[I see, then while were at it, why dont we go have lunch together? Theres a good restaurant near here, you know?]

[That sounds great. Id be happy to join you.]

It was just around lunchtime, and Dr. Viers suggestion was right on time. Having finished my herb tea, I got up from my seat and helped clean up her place a bit, before we headed for the entrance of the clinic to get ready to depart together.

[Ahh, Miyama-kun, stop for a moment.]

[Yes?]

[Thanks for the accessory Chuu.]

[Eh?]

[Fufufu, its just a token of my appreciation. Then, lets go~~!]

After giving me a surprise kiss on the cheek and giving me a smile, Dr. Vier pulled me by the hand and walked away with a grin.

Serious-senpai : [Im alright Im alright. Im a seriously strong serious Ive overcome the rough seas of sugar many times before Ill definitely be alright this time too]

? ? ? : [You overcame those? Seems more like you got swept away and got crushed though]
