"Did you pick it up on your way?"

"Open it up and take a look."

Perez looked at me again and opened the box with a careful touch.

As soon as a little sunlight hit, hundreds of thousands of glittering jewels appeared.

"Is this... a diamond?"

It is a diamond brooch specially made for Perez.

He didn't even touch a diamond he'd never seen before, he just looked at it.

"How? Do you like it?"

"...Glamorous."

It's an ambiguous sentiment.

To be honest, with a little bit of sadness, I deliberately put my utmost effort into it.

"I custom-made it for you."

"I like it."

Without thinking for half a second, he answered right away.

I think he's a bit quick to change his posture.

"Don't just watch it. Try to see if it suits you."

I was going to pretend to be cool.

I couldn't win the impatience and said.

After a moment of hesitation, Perez pulled out the brooch and put it on his chest.

The jewel polished with the most colorful method of cutting by Crowly was so beautiful that I couldn't stop looking at it despite its being so shiny that hurt my eyes.

"Wow."

In the background, Kylus let out a small exclamation.

I couldn't agree more with that feeling.

The brooch was made only for Perez.

The same was true of high purity and large diamonds, but this was even more so in harmony with the humpstone, which was crafted in the same way.

"I knew it would look good on you."

I was proud that Perez's beauty seemed to come to life even more.

Kylus and Caitlyn nodded vigorously as if they agreed with me.

"Thank you."

Perez curiously, unable to take his eyes off the diamond.

"But it must have been very expensive."

"Well, a little?"

A little bit no.

If you were going to pay for this brooch, it would have cost you hundreds of gold.

It's all the more so because it's a diamond that we can't sell these days. After all, the ransom has jumped several times.

I shrugged and asked Perez.

"You dress up here and there. You'll look good anywhere."

Perez nodded, fiddling with the brooch on his chest.

But he soon put the brooch back in the box.

"I'll do it on a special day."

"Well, it's up to the person who got the gift."

Perez seemed to be in a very good mood now, seeing a smile subtly around his mouth.

Neither did I.

It's funny how presenting Perez made me realize I was the owner of a diamond mine.

"We're about to get back..."
