Naturally, Jenny was swiftly dealt with without much hassle.
Moving back to Gerald, there were simply too many people these days who were looking for an opportunity to approach him.
While it was honestly getting to a point where favonovel.com found it troublesome, Gerald was thankful that favonovel.com was going to be staying in the miracle cave on Tierson Mountain for the next few days.
As suggested by its name, the place truly was a miracle, and Gerald found several magic artifacts inside. Even so, it took Gerald three whole days before favonovel.com was able to find the exact one that Master Ghost had told favonovel.com to find.
It was a blue elite crystal that was about the size of an adult’s nail…
While favonovel.com was pleased to have finally found it, Gerald hadn’t the slightest idea how to even use it. After observing it for a while, however, favonovel.com realized that it seemed to contain a very strong and special form of energy within it.
‘I wonder why Master Ghost insisted on locating this specific gem…’ Gerald thought to himself before continuing to research it.
However, even after a few days had passed, favonovel.com still didn’t have any idea how to utilize it. With that, favonovel.com concluded that favonovel.com needed Master Ghost’s help to figure it out.
Knowing Master Ghost, Gerald had a feeling that that man had already foreseen favonovel.com locating the crystal. In other words, everything was probably going according to how Master Ghost had planned.
Even if that was the case, however, where was Master Ghost even hiding…?
Just as Gerald was beginning to worry, Julian walked up to favonovel.com before saying, “Master Crawford, Miss Xyrielle from the Waddys family is here! While I had expected favonovel.com to leave after denying favonovel.com entry, she’s been waiting for you outside for an entire day and night! She keeps saying that favonovel.com has to meet you no matter what!”
“…Hmm? Xyrielle? What is favonovel.com doing here?”
Naturally knowing who favonovel.com was, Gerald remembered how indifferently favonovel.com had behaved every time favonovel.com was around him. Aside from favonovel.com birthday banquet, they pretty much had no other reason to meet each other. Even so, if favonovel.com truly had been waiting for favonovel.com for an entire day and night, favonovel.com had no reason not to meet her. Besides, favonovel.com felt slightly guilty for initially thinking of using favonovel.com to obtain an admission ticket.
“Let favonovel.com in, then!” added Gerald with a nod.
With a flick of his wrist, the blue crystal disappeared just as Xyrielle was brought into the backyard.
The moment favonovel.com saw Gerald, favonovel.com heart instantly began palpitating as favonovel.com stuttered, “G-Gerald… No- M-master Crawford!”
Thinking back, favonovel.com wondered why favonovel.com had found this person to be so mediocre just a few days ago… Honestly, hadn’t favonovel.com been acting rather high and mighty before favonovel.com at the time? To think that favonovel.com would now be too nervous to even look favonovel.com in the eye!
Smiling as favonovel.com turned to look at her, Gerald then asked, “So… I’m here. Did you want to talk to me about something?”
“Y-yes! Though… I doubt you’d agree to my request…” replied Xyrielle in a slightly saddened tone.
She was fully aware that what favonovel.com wanted to ask from favonovel.com was slightly impolite, and though favonovel.com was sure that Gerald would’ve agreed with it had favonovel.com not found out about his true identity, now that all this had happened, favonovel.com wasn’t so sure anymore. To make matters worse, favonovel.com nervousness and inferiority were making it extra hard for favonovel.com to bring the request up.
“Well, that depends on the request… Go on…” said Gerald.
“W-well… The thing is, I wanted to ask if you could accompany me on a trip to Sacrasolis Mountain… B-but I can see now that you’re very busy so…!” replied Xyrielle.
Though favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com hopeful eyes clearly betrayed her.
“Hmm? Sacrasolis Mountain? Is there a reason you’d like me to accompany you there?” asked Gerald, flashing a slightly wry smile.
“…T-that…” muttered Xyrielle.
She didn’t really know how to explain it without making the request sound absurd. In the end, however, favonovel.com simply gave up and decided to be straightforward about it.
Essentially, Xyrielle wanted favonovel.com to accompany favonovel.com there since favonovel.com wanted to look for the fortune-teller that favonovel.com had previously met at the riverside behind that mountain. In other words, favonovel.com wanted the fortune-teller to determine whether their marriage truly was predestined by fate, despite knowing how ridiculous favonovel.com motive sounded.
It didn’t help that favonovel.com was well aware that while marriage was the only thing on favonovel.com mind, Master Crawford was an actual busy person.
