Evan has recognized Gai, but Albert had something on his mind so he inquired.
ăSay, was it fine to let Evan decide on his own without consulting Anemos and others?ă
ăI have contacted them via the communication while you were talking about how stupid I am, so everything is all rightă
Albert and Gai couldn't object the words of the grinning Evan and fell into silence.
When the talks regarding Gai ended and the women and children left so that the Dyner House could be dealt with, Evan brought up a certain topic.
ăSo? How many people in here are able to use warp?ă(Evan)
ăTskâŠâŠ you have not forgotten about ită(Claude)
ăAmong us, only Claude, Austin and I can. I will tell you right now, but it's not that we can warp by ourselves, it's the magic tools we have receivedă(Lewis)
ăAs I thought! Why was I the only one not informed!ă(Evan)
ăGrace and I saw Lewis use warp by accident, so it was only a coincidence on my sideă(Austin)
ăWe heard about it from Ală(Miguel)
ăDylan and I heard it from Miguel and Nathană(Adam)
ăGive me one too!ă(Evan)
ăThat's not going to happen. It was given to us as a present for making time to train them even though we were busy at work. Meison, Blake, Angela, Lucas, and Clare declined thoughă(Lewis)
ăLucas-san and Clare-san told them âYou mustn't hand over a national treasure-cla.s.s magic tool so carelessly like thatâ did they not?ă(Nathan)
ăWe really didn't need it in particular. However, something like this might happen again in the future. If you guys are fine with it, can I get one?ă(Lucas)
ăI did refuse before, but I might also ask for one nowă(Meison)
ăCould I request one as well?ă(Blake)
ăSure, it's fine! Yes, here you goă(Albert)
Albert took out rings with little, clear gems from his item ring and handed them to the three.
ăRight, let's give âthatâ to Rihito, Feliă
ăYes. I intended to give it to him on his birthday, but it might be better to give it to him nowă(Felice)
What Felice retrieved from her item ring was a sword similar to the one they gave to Evan.
Austin inquired in puzzlement.
ăThisâŠâŠ to Rihito?ă(Austin)
ăYeah. This is a sword made only for Rihito's sake. Except for the magic stone, everything else was made out of my partsă(Albert)
ăYou made it with your scales?ă(Austin)
ăYou are wrong there, Austin. It's not only the scalesă(Meison)
ăIt's as Meison said. The handle is made with scales, the guard out of my claw, the blade is made out of my fangsă(Albert)
ăWha!? âŠâŠ I'm thankful, but isn't it too early for Rihito?ă(Austin)
ăStop joking~ Of course, we know that. Rihito, try touching it hereă(Albert)
ăU?ă(Rihito)
Albert gently took the hand of Rihito who didn't understand what's what, and the sword started shining when he placed Rihito's hand on the magic stone that was attached to the end of the handle.
When the light disappeared, the sword vanished.
ăThe sword vanished!? Albert?ă(Austin)
ăThe sword is currently within Rihito. Everything's fine, it has no influence on his body. Once Rihito grows up, he will be able to take it out by himself. Until then, it will protect himă(Albert)
ăAlbertâŠâŠ Thank youă(Austin)
ăThank you very muchă(Angela)
Austin and Angela lowered their heads to Albert with gratefulness.
ăThat sword is not only Rihito's, it will also protect those with the divine protection of Kokuryuu near himă(Albert)
ăIs that so? It will apply to Felice as well thenă(Austin)
ăWhat are you saying? It's not only Feliceă(Gai)
Gai asked Austin who nodded in consent in puzzlement, but Evan and others t.i.tled their heads at his words.
ăIf it's the divine protection of Kokuryuu, then that's only Felice and Rihito, no?ă(Lewis)
ăEh? Do you guys not appraise yourselves? In this room, everyoââguha!ă(Gai)
Albert kicked Gai flying before he could spurt out anything.
ăGai!? What are you doing, Al!?ă(Felice)
ăThere was an insect. I had no other intentionsă(Albert)
ăYâŠâŠ youâŠâŠ hiding your embarra.s.sment has its limits!ă(Gai)
Gai drew closer to the nonchalant Albert and both started pointlessly quarreling once again.
In the meanwhile, Lewis warped to get an appraisal tool, and when he confirmed everyone's status upon his return, they all had âDivine Protection of Kokuryuuâ.
By the way, Felice had âDivine Protection of the King of Resentmentâ attached to her status, so the person herself was being watched over twice without her knowledge.
Albert who noticed that only after the appraising was done spoke in a panic.
ăFf, for your information, it appeared there on its own! It's not like I did it intentionally or anything!ă
Everyone was delighted by Albert's words.
âOn its ownâ basically means that he unconsciously thought of wanting to protect them, even the person himself didn't notice.
Felice too, looked at Albert happily, but there was something she was really curious about all this time, so she tried asking Gai who was standing next to her.
