Together, we explored the capital. We bought snacks at the stalls, perused the stores, and bought some things on the side. That’s all it was, but it was very fun.

I fought with Shannon, we snatched sweets from one another, and...why was it? Perhaps I felt so at ease because I didn’t have to be too mindful of her.

It was evening before I knew it. It was almost time for the bar to open.

Our final stop before then was a stall that sold accessories.

Eva and Shannon peered at the wares.

“Are you interested, Eva?” I asked.

I wasn’t going to say it aloud, but this wasn’t a shop that dealt in high-quality goods. And yet, Eva had an incredibly serious look on her face, and that made me curious.

“I bring them as gifts whenever I return to my village. The little girls love this sort of thing, and this place has all sorts of designs. I never get tired of looking at them.”

Apart from rings and necklaces, they also had combs and hair clips among other things.

Shannon picked out an item and stared at it.

A broach.

Eva prodded me with her elbow. The look on her face was pretty much telling me, “Go buy it for her.”

I have to buy it...?

The moment I hesitated, my ancestors all started booing me.

“Buy it, why don’t you.”

“It’s not expensive.”

“I think...you ought to buy it.”

“Lyle, this much is nothing. Back in my day, I had to get a gemstone worth several hundred gold to please the missus.”

“Shouldn’t you be repenting a bit more, Sixth? Lyle, buy it. Rather, how could you not? In this situation? Your grandpa can’t believe it.”

Ignoring the sixth’s opinion, everyone seemed to be united. They were probably taking Shannon’s upbringing into consideration.

I took some money from my coin purse.

“I’ll take one—”

“Stupid! Stupid Lyle!” the third head cautioned me. “Eva’s here too. You should at least buy the item she was looking at too.”

The fourth added, “Buy something for everyone else too—at a later date. You can’t buy the same thing for them either.”

The fifth head had gotten fussier than usual. “Make sure your presents all cost around the same amount. Don’t let them establish a hierarchy. Also, make sure you consider what would be the best fit for each girl before buying them. Before considering whether something’s a tasteful present in general, it’s more important to buy something with a specific person in mind. If you hear them chatting about wanting something or another, you should write it down.”

Why is he being so detailed?

I decided to purchase the bracelet Eva was looking at too.

“I’ll take the brooch and the bracelet.”

“Pleasure doing business with you.” The shopkeeper looked at me with a grin. “You’ve got some cuties with you. Is the charming elf girl your girlfriend?”

He...seems to be misunderstanding something. I should correct him.

“No, she—”

“That’s right. So make it cheap,” Eva said with a smile.

“Well, can’t argue with that,” the shopkeeper said as he cut down the price a bit. It really was only a very slight discount.
