Chapter 8: I’m Home

It was the day after we’d received a visit from Gizelle, the chief of the fairies in the Black Forest. Currently, I was standing in front of Marius’s finished ring.

I let out a groan.

Gizelle’s blessing wasn’t an issue. It was great that the rings had increased in value—items made of meghizium were already scarce and wildly expensive, and another rare effect had simply been added, increasing the ring’s worth. As long as Marius didn’t publicly speak about it, I doubted anyone would notice. Not many people in this world would’ve seen an item blessed by a fairy.

“But what kind of blessing did she give?” I mumbled.

Judging by yesterday’s series of events, I was pretty sure that her magic had been positive—a blessing instead of a curse. Since Samya hadn’t butted in during the conversation, Gizelle probably hadn’t been lying. But fairies weren’t human and were very small; it might’ve been difficult for even Samya to catch the scent of deception.

I thought back to the incantation Gizelle had used: “May the wearer be blessed with great happiness.” In RPG terms, it might’ve given a status effect that raised a character’s LUK stat.

“Hmmm...”

I gazed at the ring, looking at its composition beneath natural light. A faint blue glow shone across the glittering gold of the meghizium. It seemed obvious to me since I knew what to look for, but the blue was truly faint—had I not known about it, I might not have noticed.

While I was grumbling over my thoughts, Rike, who’d finished her preparations, stood next to me and peered at the ring.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“About the blessing from yesterday...” I proceeded to explain my concerns.

“I see.”

“I’m sure she didn’t do anything weird...but I just don’t know how to prove that.”

“Hmmm...” We both folded our arms in front of us and thought hard.

“Eizo, why don’t you try on the ring, just once?” Diana suggested.

“Can I?” If it were a knife, I would’ve tested it out instantly, but I was a bit hesitant to wear a wedding ring.

“I don’t think you can wear Julie’s, but I’m sure my brother’s will fit.”

“Right.”

This ring was larger because it’d been designed for Marius. And since I had to test out some new methods...well, if something went wrong, I would feel just a little less guilty about ruining my friend’s ring and not his wife’s.

“Why don’t you just do one trial run?” asked Diana. “If anything happens, you can just say that I, his family member, gave my approval.”

“I’m grateful for that proposal, but I’m not planning on using you as a shield like that.” Whatever happened would be my own responsibility—nothing less would be fair to my dear friend. Diana had simply given me words of advice and nothing more.

“But I guess I won’t be able to do anything if I just stand idly around,” I mumbled.

“Exactly.”

I nodded at Diana. “All right. I guess I’ll wear the ring.”

I couldn’t bring myself to wear it on my ring finger, so I decided to fit it onto the pinky of my right hand.
