As if that was the right medicine for it, Nainiae, who had her mouth open like a bass, closed her mouth.
“Well, I kind of figured as much because they are all belongings of a mage, but… So, in conclusion, all three items are more or less useless to me.”
After having gone through Nainiae’s hair to turn it into a mess, Riley shrugged and said,
“Well, you take it. Wearing a ring is a bother because it only tickles my finger.”
“Young master? N-No! I couldn’t accept something like t…”
When Riley said he would give the ring to Nainiae out of the blue, Nainiae shook her head to say she couldn’t accept it.
“In that case, just hold it for me for a while. It’s a bother to have it with me.”
Riley’s face genuinely said he found it to be a bother.
Actually, it was less efficient for Riley to wear the ring.
It was correct to say he didn’t need it.
Because of the blessing he received from his past life, he could collect even more mana just by breathing, and the mana he collected was of a higher quality than what the ring could gather.
“…I understand.”
Nainiae, unable to refuse, answered.
For now, Riley handed all of the items to Nainiae. Riley looked at Andal.
“Is that all you came for?”
Riley shook his head.
Andal’s face was crumpled again.
“Now what?”
“There’s one more thing.”
Riley asked about the second favor as he looked at the changing room that Andal just came from.
“Can I have mana measured?”
“Mana measurement?”
Andal asked as he tilted his head to the side.
“There is a mana measurement boulder that was presented by some guardian runt… But why?”
It seemed Andal thought it was odd.
With his face scrunched, Andal changed his question in the middle,
“You want to use it? Na… Why bother with getting it measu…”
“No.”
Riley answered as he shook his head like a fool.
‘That’s not the reason? I was pretty sure that was the reason.’
After hearing what Riley just said, Nainiae had a curious look on her face.
“This kid is going to use it.”
“Um?”
“…?”
Riley nodded toward Nainiae.
Naturally, Andal’s gaze moved toward her.
‘Y-Young master?’
Nainiae’s lips started to quiver.
It was because she was not expecting things to go this way.
“Hmm…”
Andal leaned all the way forward to Nainiae and started to look at Nainiae’s face.
Soon, he started to wiggle his nose and sniff to smell her.
He wasn’t trying to smell her shampoo or skin.
He was going after the smell of mana inside her.
“Oh? That is odd? It’s certainly unique?”
Sniff Sniff
Having confirmed the smell of mana coming from Nainiae, he mumbled as if he found something precious.
At the same time, Nainiae’s shoulders shriveled.
“…”
‘To think I’ll be examined by a dragon?’
