Chapter 6: Wish Bracelet

A dozen or so days after my party and I had cashed in our first bag of magic gems from our opening foray into the dungeon, we joined the back of the line to enter it again. While we were standing there waiting our turn on this fine early morning, familiar voices called out to us from somewhere behind us.

“Dark! Mr. Gold! Miss Nemumu!”

Elio’s young party came running up to us, waving their arms around to attract our attention, though thanks to our finely-honed senses, we’d already known it was them before a word had even passed their lips. We hadn’t seen the teenagers for quite a while, which wasn’t all that unexpected, since adventurers typically stayed in this dungeon for long spells at a time, and the two parties were on completely different schedules. Like the first time we met them in this line, Elio’s party had brought camping gear with them.

“Wow, it’s been ages, Elio,” I said. “I think the last time I saw you guys was when we fought that Fourscythe Mantis.”

“I know, right? Unlike other dungeons, in this one, you basically have to sleep in it overnight. I can’t believe how tough it was finding you again, just ’cause we didn’t have the same traveling schedule. But now we’ve run into you again, we can finally give you a real present to show our gratitude for everything you’ve done for us.”

“A ‘real’ present?” I asked, tilting my head quizzically to one side at this unexpected phrase. Elio’s crew all had genuine smiles on their faces, as if they were about to throw me a surprise party. Elio coaxed his sister out from behind him.

“Miya said she wanted to thank you properly for all the times you’ve helped us,” Elio explained. “Come on, Miya. You said you’d give it to him.”

“I know I did, brother. Stop pushing me...” Miya protested as she reached into her pocket. “Um, here you go, Dark. I know it isn’t much, but I want you to have it.”

Miya’s face was bright red as she thrust the palms of her hands toward me, and in them, I saw a seashell with two hinged halves that had been fashioned into a receptacle. It was so small, it could fit in the palm of a child’s hand with room to spare, and it seemed to contain a substance I couldn’t immediately identify. Baffled, I took the seashell from Miya.

“What is it?” I said.

“It’s a salve for burns my late grandmother once taught me how to make,” Miya replied. She was looking up at me timidly. “It won’t get rid of any scarring, but I hope it can at least give you some kind of relief if you end up getting burned at all. It’s the least I can do for you after all you’ve done for us. W-Will you accept it?”

This was the first time since leaving the Abyss that I’d been given a present purely out of the goodness of someone’s heart.
