As we are collecting the magic stones and materials,
“Thank you very much for having saved me before.”
I was chatted up by the warrior whom I had roughly rescued some time ago.
However, thanks to my , his armor and shield have ended up warped…
As a result, even though I saved his neck, I feel slightly awkward.
“No, that is, sorry for denting your armor and so on.” (Shuuya)
“Eh? Ah, something like that is a cheap price to pay for my life. You know, I had resolved myself to die for the sake of my friends, but I fortunately survived to see another day.”
Going by his reaction, the young warrior hasn’t apparently noticed the state of his own armor yet.
At that point,
“Aaaaahh, Ruka! You’re alive!”
“Ruka’s aliveee―!”
his party members, who had run away earlier, all came back.
“Alf Rulexander, Mimi Shibishi, Scrane Zukisasagu, Sasuri, Tomilion, Chuoss… for me to be able to meet you once more! This is all thanks to you. Oh, my name is Ruka Zen Southerion. I’m the one leading the party 【Lucys’ Game】. If possible, I’d like to hear your name as well.” (Ruka)
After looking at his friends, who are gathering around the young warrior, with teary eyes, he asked for my name while switching to a serious expression.
“The name’s Shuuya, and our party is 【Innocent Arms】.” (Shuuya)
“…Shuuya-san, thank you. Please take this as a sign of my gratitude.” (Ruka)
The chain of a golden necklace, which has three small jewels—red, black, and yellow—with old-styled carvings that overlap in spirals embedded into it, is clutched in the warrior’s hand.
Once I check it with Magic Observation, I realize that mana is swirling through the entire chain.
I guess it’s not merely gold; appearances are deceiving, huh?
This is quite the magic item, it seems.
“No, something like that is…” (Shuuya)
When I decline modestly,
“…It’s no good with just this? It’s an item that possesses the effects of a magic defense up, physical defense up, and an increase in physical ability. This is a War Steel Ogre Master’s Necklace said to have been equipped by the War Steel Ogre Cavalry Division, which exceeds Radford Empire’s Special Groundforce Brigade that’s even now playing an active role in the 50-years-war. It’s a war spoil heirloom that’s handed down in my family. Please, accept this as my gratitude for having saved my life.” (Ruka)
Even if I’m told something like this…
It’s not like I saved him while hoping to get some money or items.
…I’m quite bad with things such as this.
Save, being saved. Thank, being thanked.
Isn’t it fine with only that much? Though that’s not something I can say here, I suppose.
“Ruka-san, I can’t accept this. Your feelings of gratitude are plenty for me. We don’t need any more since prior to this, we defeated the Death Emperor’s party and obtained their materials and magic stones.” (Shuuya)
“But…” (Ruka)
He has an expression telling me that he wants to show his respect somehow.
