Chapter 160 – The Accessory Has…!

I logged in first thing in the morning and ran towards the gate.

When I arrived at the gate still out of breath, Marcus-san, standing guard there, raised the front of his helmet and greeted me with a pleasant smile, “Hey.” 

“You’re early today. Heard you have a date with Vidello? Rarrr, I’m so jealous. To a single guy like me, you guys look so dazzling! Hey, Roy!”

“I’m not single, so be dazzled all by yourself.”

As I waited there, laughing at their usual exchange, Vidello-san came out.

Today, we were going on a date to Quattro’s magic shop.

For the first time in a long time, we would have a relaxing date in a horse-drawn carriage.

That bluetail feather accessory was about to be completed.

Waving at the two of them, we headed to the carriage stand on the outskirts of the town.

“It’s been a while since we could relax like this.”

“Yeah. A lot of things happened and it’s been quite chaotic.”

However, I still hadn’t raised my [ Prayer ] skill yet, along with my water magic. I could learn water magic now, but if I had to level up that skill as well, I would be spreading myself too thin and my growth would be slow.

The carriage was already accommodating people, so when we rushed over, the coachman greeted us with a smile.

The carriage proceeded smoothly to Quattro. There were three other people on board with us, but one had fallen asleep, so conversations were quiet.

While we looked at the passing scenery outside, I imagined what kind of accessory the feather would become.

The feather itself was cute, so I thought it would be pretty hard to make something cool out of it that would look good on Vidello-san. But it was Regalo-san, so he might be able to make the impossible possible.

As usual, Vidello-san was supporting my waist as I was about to fall down. I’m grateful. I love you!

I was happy that I was working with Vidello-san more and more these days.

When we arrived at Quattro, I said goodbye to the coachman, who was shaking the sleeping person awake, and quickly headed to the magic shop.

Actually, my feather gauge was almost full now. It was already at 93%.

I was really looking forward to seeing how it would change. But I also really liked this accessory, so I felt a bit sad that it was going to change.

We rang the doorbell of the magic shop, which looked as remarkable as ever, and quietly entered the shop. Then, we were greeted by Regalo-san, dressed flawlessly as a butler.

“I’ve been waiting for you. The thing you asked for has been completed.”

“Yay! Thank you very much!”

As I cheered and waited excitedly, Regalo-san returned from behind the counter holding up a tray.

On the tray was.

“Amazing. So cool…”

An intricately woven accessory made from a combination of metal and some kind of black leather.

The bluetail feather was hanging down from the center and small, colorful, bead-like stones were hung down around it as well.

On the back, there was a thin woven leather cord at each end, and the size could be adjusted by simply pulling on it.

“This accessory can be worn on the arm, wrist, or even ankle, as the length can be adjusted with this leather strap. The bluetail feather is quite lovely, and it’s been a while since I’ve had to put so much effort into making something. Thank you for your request. Mac-kun, please put it on Vidello wherever you like without delay.”

“Yes.”

Gently picking up the accessory, I held it in my hand and looked up at Vidello-san.

“Where would you like to wear it? I’d prefer to put it somewhere that doesn’t restrict your movement.”

“Regalo-san told you to put it wherever you like. So, I’ll leave it to you.”

He left it to me, so I held up the accessory. The wrist was fine, but I made a quick glance at my beloved, his muscular upper arm.

It would look really cool to have a black leather accessory there.

“You’re right-handed, right? Then, give me your left arm.”

I wrapped the black leather belt-like accessory over his clothes around his muscular upper arm, which had my ideal form. 

I pulled the leather strap on the back as I was told, and it fitted better on his arm than I had imagined.

The bluetail feather and beads swayed on his arm.

“…Vidello-san, you’re so cool…”

He had nice muscles, so black leather looked really great on him.

The design was too cool to put into words, and Vidello-san looked even cooler than usual wearing this cool accessory. I looked up at Vidello-san, a little enchanted.

“Will it get in the way? Would you prefer it on the wrist instead?”

“No, it doesn’t bother me at all, and it also doesn’t interfere with my movements.”

“It’s my present to you. It’s a thank you for the feather amulet you gave me. If you like it, please accept it.”

When I said this while quickly checking the accessory on his arm, he just hugged me tightly.

“Vidello-kun really likes your gift. Its effect is a slight increase in defense and strength. In addition, I also added the dexterity that Mac-kun has. It suits you well.”

“Regalo-san… Thank you very much.”

“This is Mac-kun’s request, so please give those words to him in abundance instead.”

He nodded at Regalo-san, who smiled gently, and narrowed his eyes, looking at me with his eyes full of affection while I was still in his arms.

“Mac… I’ll treasure this forever. Thank you…”

I nodded slightly and buried my face in his chest. I felt the bluetail feather between the two of us heat up a little.

I thanked Regalo-san, and as we were about to leave, he stopped us for a moment.

“I’ve just baked some pastries, so would you like to try some?”

I sat back down on a chair while nodding my head at Regalo-san, who smiled as he spoke.

It was quite unusual for Regalo-san to keep us around like this. Vidello-san also sat down next to me looking a little confused.

Immediately afterward, a madeleine-like baked pastry appeared on the table.

Wow, they looked delicious. The cookies from the other day were really delicious, so I was sure these would be delicious too.

“Can we eat these…?”

Regalo-san chuckled at me drooling over them and handed me one, saying, “Please have some.”

I immediately took a bite and I was impressed.

This one had a sweet yet slightly bitter espresso-style taste… It was so delicious!

“Delicious~ Vidello-san, you should try it too. It’s really delicious.”

I offered my half-eaten food to Vidello-san, and the moment he put it in his mouth, Regalo-san giggled as if he couldn’t hold it in.

“There’s plenty, so you can eat as much as you want. Well, if you two want to share the same pastry, I won’t stop you at all.”

Ah! He was right!

He was laughing while giving a witty remark, and I couldn’t help but feel my blood rushing to my face. 

But Vidello-san, with a smile in his eyes, grabbed my wrist and ate the baked goods from my hand.

“It’s delicious. Thanks for the food. And the deliciousness doubled because you fed it to me.”

After a final lick of my finger, he finally let go of my hand.

Wha-wha-oh my lord! If you’re gonna do that, I’d prefer it when we’re alone!

The moment I screamed this in my heart, Regalo-san turned around and secretly burst out laughing as if he couldn’t bear it anymore.

I see. This person was someone who could read people’s minds.

“Fufu, I’m sorry. The mood between you two has changed into something softer than before, so I couldn’t help but make fun of you. It seems you were able to grasp the thread of hope without making a mistake.”

At Regalo-san’s words, we looked at each other. “The thread of hope”, was it perhaps about the story Vil-san told us…?

Without making a mistake, did that mean there was a possibility that I might not be able to grasp a future where we didn’t need to give up?

I still didn’t know what the future held. But until now, in my wish to make Vidello-san’s world a better place, I wasn’t there at all. I was just going forward with the mindset that I would help make sure he could live peacefully, even if I could not be with him. So sometimes, just the thought of this was painful. I was sure he also felt the same pain. Maybe it’s because that wish changed a bit. 

I reflected on Regalo-san’s words and nodded.

At that moment, a dazzling light arose from my chest.

I couldn’t help but close my eyes in response to that dazzling, blinding light.

“Ah, what…?!”

“Mac, the feather on your chest!”

When I opened my eyes slightly to Vidello-san’s words, the blue tail feather amulet that he gave me was floating in the air, enveloped in light.
