Sitting at the entrance of the 【Dog House】, I gaze at the setting sun.
Today is my coming-of-age day.
...But Walson is not here.
The gift Walson was supposed to give was the wand he promised, along with a robe.
Wearing new clothes, sitting on the steps, I can't feel happy.
"Sorry, but we're closed today," lon turned away the empty-handed custor.
Not only did the custors co up empty, but so did I.
"...lon, where's Walson?"
No matter how much I use telepathy, Walson doesn't respond.
Neither does lon.
The telepathic communication between the team mbers can actually be shut off.
Blocking off the telepathic ssages from teammates, making oneself unable to hear their voices.
...Walson, why aren't you acknowledging us?
"...I don't know," lon paused and said.
Leaving only a "Happy coming-of-age day" and then disappearing.
Leaving behind a sumptuous al in the [Inventory], then disappearing.
Are we supposed to make ourselves happy?
That idiot... that fool...
Today is also your coming-of-age day.
In the morning, to put an end to the spreading rumors.
Summoning up courage, I refused the manager's invitation in front of everyone once again.
In public, I was sohow able to say that I don't like the manager, and that I already have soone I like.
"Miss Grace, let's eat first."
"...Shouldn't we wait for Walson?" I looked at the wand in my hand that are reflecting the sunset light.
The wand has a shimring black color, just like the night sky.
A beautiful wand, it’s a wand that for so reason, from the mont I picked it up, I felt a strong connection with it.
Closing my eyes, through this connection, I could see a world that overlaps with ours but is entirely made up of non-physical substances like magic.
The process and structure of magic… if I use this, it will be easier for to study magic from now on, right?
Is it what I see through the crystal on the wand that looks like an eye? It's amazing.
...But this doesn’t cheer up.
That connection cos from the 【Ender Pearl】 I gave to Walson.
Walson made the gift I gave him into a wand and gave it back to ... because of that, I can't directly teleport to his side now.
Because I don't know where he is.
"Master left after making the al, he said he doesn't want to disturb your coming-of-age ceremony."
"...Then, about Walson's coming-of-age ceremony, doesn't it matter too?"
"...," lon didn't speak.
Actually, I know she's waiting too.
After the last glow of twilight, the sky darkened.
Street lamps fueled by fire magic stones lit up one by one.
"Hey, Miss Grace."
"...?"
"Happy coming-of-age day." lon handed a small, golden knife.
"...Ah." Ah, I forgot, lon would also give a gift.
"It's made from a small part of a Ground Dragon's reverse scale. Although it's not very useful in direct combat, it still has its uses."
"...Thank you." I hugged lon tightly, and she ended up freezing.
lon body suddenly froze, and then she tried to wry herself out of the hug with an embarrassed expression, making my smile turned upward slightly.
I folded the small knife and put it in the pouch Walson gave .
"Um... in my hotown, giving a small knife signifies a close friendship between the giver and receiver. Thank you, Miss Grace, for your help all this ti. Please continue to guide well in the future," lon said the words Walson said when he gave her the gift.
"...Then, what did you give Walson?"
"I gave him a short sword."
"...Ah, let see when Walson opens it." I stopped lon from taking it out.
However, I beca interested in lon's hotown.
Walson never asked before, I never asked, and lon never ntioned it.
While waiting for Walson, I started chatting with lon.
But...
Walson didn't return until very late, and when he did co back, his clothes were filled with the scent of another woman's perfu on him.
At that ti, even Aure ca and waited together with us, her main motive was probably to get drunk, but in the end, she also waited patiently for Walson to co.
I... I couldn't bear it anymore and used magic on Walson...
After making Walson faint, I left in a fit of anger...
Today was supposed to be the coming-of-age day... Mine and his...
The gift that I had prepared so hard was not given, instead...
I sent over a dozen large fireballs to Walson...
What am I doing...
