Chapter 8
07. Worst Wake Up
Darya’s wake the next day was the worst.
The tower doorbell was ringing repeatedly, not the bell outside the gate.
Only a limited number of people can open the gates. I thought perhaps a childhood familiar Irma had arrived.
but I rubbed my sleepy eyes out and there was Tobias.
Because he cleaned up until late at night, and drank wine, and went to bed in the morning, his face is puffy, and his hair is blurred.
Thought not to come early in the morning, but the sun had already risen high in the sky.
“Well… I’m sorry, I want my engagement bracelet back”
When I felt bad, my ex-fiancée had put me on even more.
An engagement bracelet is basically like adding an engagement ring and a wedding ring from a previous life that is given to a woman by a man or both.
However, the meaning is slightly different in this world. If a man gives it, he gives it a price that the other woman can live for more than two months, and even if something unforeseen happens, it includes an insurance meaning that she can sell her bracelet and live for a while.
Even in the event of a breach of engagement, there is usually ownership on the receiving side.
When I got my engagement bracelet, Tobias told me not to scratch much, so I turned it into an accessory box and only wore it when I went out with him.
I put it in the box because I might bump it because I was moving yesterday, and honestly, I’d forgotten it existed until now.
“… I don’t think I’d ask much to return my engagement bracelet?
“I’m sorry. I’d like to rush Emilia to make an engagement bracelet, but I don’t have time, and, uh, a lot of loose ends…”
I’m sincerely glad I didn’t marry this man.
I don’t know if you’re my new fiancée or my new wife, but I’m sad that you’re using it around. Darya was poisoned within.
“Okay.”
Going to sell bracelets is also a pain in the ass. Claiming money is also a pain in the ass.
Really, from the bottom of my heart, I don’t want to see this guy right now.
“I’ll get it, stay here”
Close the door and go up to the third floor with a dash. Clasp the accessory box and grab the engagement bracelet and earrings.
Put both in the appropriate bag and go straight back and pass to Tobias.
“Yes, bracelet. I’ll give it back to you.”
Chestnut hair from Tobias and a bracelet made to match almond-colored eyes.
It was a chic design with a slender golden ground decorated with red jade medulla (Carnelian) with strong tea. I liked it a lot.
The earrings are a round grain type, orange red grenade (orange garnet).
In this country, when you have a lover, you may wear pendants, earrings, piercings, rings, etc. such as their eyes and hair color.
This is what Darya got for her previous birthday.
He told me not to wear it while I was at work, and I only applied it a few times, but I am certain that I will not wear it again in the future.
Tobias, who received it, nodded small and put a small white box out of his jacket pocket.
“I’ll give it back.”
Last birthday, when Tobias gave me earrings, Darya was giving away jewels in return.
Red balls (ruby) with a beautiful red glow, small but not cloudy.
Tobias asked me to think about making it a ring or tailoring it to a bracelet, and for now I gave it as a stone. But then I never saw it.
The stones returned were glowing unchanged in small boxes, without any processing.
I laughed badly as I took the box.
Tobias must have been cold a long time ago.
“… I’m so sorry I hurt you”
Darya shut the door silently as Tobias lowered his head.
The back of my throat is even hot.
I’m not sure if I’m angry or sad.
Darya erased Tobias’s registration on the control board behind the workplace. Now he can’t open the gate.
The small box was appropriately thrown into the shelf.
The next time I run into the bathroom, I put hot water in the tub with a demonic conductor utilizing the demonic stone of water and the demonic stone of fire.
Take off your clothes and wash your face again and again while still gripping on less hot water.
I’ve decided not to get upset anymore.
About Tobias, there’s no need to cry, it’s not worth it – yes I repeatedly told myself.
Just a little calm, once out of the tub, carefully wash your body and hair.
Thankfully, in this king’s capital, there is no difficulty in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the toilet, and in the water.
For the demonic stones of water are supplied cheaply and steadily.
According to what Dalya heard from her father or learned at the college, there was a “great reform of the water” by the royal family more than twenty years ago.
The study began with the words of the King at the time: ‘I want to make sure that there is no trouble with the minimum water anywhere in the country’, and the Viscount, who was managing the sewage, set up a mass production system for the demonic stones of water. The Viscount says he ascended to the Count from his merits.
Even now, the control of the production of the demonic stones of water is mainly carried out by its Count family, who, among other things, are responsible for everything from sewage in the King’s capital to water supply and water purification.
So much so that rumors have it that the next generation will rise to the Marquis.
I have no difficulty in drinking water, I bathe every day if I want, and the toilet is washed with water – as for Dahlia, who was a former Japanese in her previous life, it is a truly gratifying story.
While in the tub again, observe the demonic stones of the water in stock. It’s about the size of four lightly on the palm of your hand, and it’s a blue oval stone. Small, but supply a few tubs with one of these. Thankfully I can buy it for a few copper coins.
In this magical world, there are ‘magic vegetables’ everywhere, and I was taught that by flushing the procedure and moving it, magic is activated.
But is the demonic stone of water itself collecting moisture in the air, or is it just magically transferring water from somewhere, producing it exactly from scratch – there seems to be no detailed theory and validation of such things.
When I inadvertently asked a professor of magic at the college about this, it was enthusiastically solicited to the lab.
Until now, Darya has often used the demonic stone of fire, the demonic stone of the wind, along with the material of the demons.
The money for my new home is back on hand, and I might want to start a new study with water demon stones.
Second, the usual soap in the corner of my sight gets into my eyes.
I used it casually in this world, but in this country, I have soap and soap water, but I don’t have a foam soap pump bottle. I generally remember how it works, and I have experience with disassembly and assembly.
Not a magic guide, but a foam pump bottle would make bathing and hand washing more convenient.
How could I not remember before? I need to make a quick note of this – Dahlia will be out of the tub soon.
Soon the thing about Tobias, it was gone with bubbles.
