Souvenirs For Parents

 After our outing, a knock was heard on the door of my room inside the Misfid house’s mansion when I was relaxing. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 After I replied, the door opened and Mina entered.

「What’s the matter?」

「A package has arrived for Alfried-sama」

 Ahh, it’s the magic stone crafts item I bought in the morning it looks like it has already arrived at the mansion.

 As to be expected from a high-end store. It’s a same-day delivery.

「Would you like to bring them here?」

「Un, pleas――no, as expected, I’ll help bring to them」

 Given the items’ price, I’m really scared to let Mina carry it by herself. I mean, even yesterday she almost dropped and broke the Misfid house’s tableware.

「It’s fine. They are not that heavy so please continue to rest Alfried-sama」

「Ah, is that so? Be careful when carrying it, okay? It may break if you drop them, one of them costs more than 30 gold coins, after all」

 There’s nothing better than that if I can continue to take it easy. Let’s just leave it to Mina if she’s willing to take on the responsibility. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「I’m sorry! Please help me! My hands are going to shake and drop them if I were to carry it alone!」

 When I told her the important points, Mina - who had been acting like it was nothing - deeply bowed and asked for my help.

「U, un. Can’t be helped then.....」

 I can’t help but think that it’s kinda strange to think like that as a servant, but if I were to consider the possibility of that happening to me, I would probably do the same so I can’t scold her.

 It’ll also be too pitiful to let her bring such expensive items so I decided to help her.

 I went down to the first floor being guided by Mina and I saw several suitcase left at the edge of the entranceway.

 It seems like they are not wrapped in cheap quality wooden boxes since they are expensive items. 

 When I tried opening the case a little to see inside, I saw the magic stone lamps stored inside.

 Un, this is no doubt the items I bought. There’s enough for the whole family.

「Okay then, let’s bring them in」

「Yes」

 Mina picked up two suitcases and I made the remaining three floating with Psychic.

 It would be safer and easier if I were the one carrying them by myself, but it wouldn’t look good for the servants if I were to carry several items in someone else’s mansion.

 As we continued to walk down the hallway, we’re finally approaching the stairs to the second floor.

 It’s just ordinary stairs, but if you’re carrying fragile, expensive items with both of your hands, then it’s a different story.

 Mina looked nervous in front of the stairs.

「It’s fine. As long as I am here, I will protect the items even if Mina were to fall down the stairs」

「Alfried-sama! ――eh, huh? So you’re going to ignore me if I tumble down the stairs!?」

「There’s nothing I can do about that」

「……please give me back my moved-feeling」

 Psychic can’t directly affect a person’s body after all, so there’s nothing I can do about it.

 It might be possible somehow if I were to use other magic, but that depends on my reflexes.

 I didn’t have the confidence to protect and prioritize Mina over the items.

 Although, she must have been relieved to hear that the items would be safe. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 Mina’s nervousness eased and we were able to bring the items into my bedroom safely.

●

「Now then, I wonder what to do……」

 I am standing in front of the suitcase in my bedroom, troubled.

 Since they are fragile items, it would be safest if I were to just store them in my subspace to bring them home.

 However, since I had sent it to the Misfid house’s mansion, there was a good chance the servants and Elna-kaasan would also know that I purchased them.

「Al, I’m coming in, alright?」

 As I was troubled over what to do, there was a knock and Elna-kaasan’s voice could be heard.

 When I replied to the knock, not only Elna-kaasan but Nord-tousan also entered the room.

「Some items have arrived at the mansion they said, what did you buy?」

「We were worried since you were carrying such secure cases」

 I’m glad I haven’t stored them inside the subspace yet.

 Even though I just brought them inside with Mina, they would have gotten suspicious of where I hid it if they weren’t in the room.

「It’s magic stones crafts. I mainly bought lamps」

「Lamps?」

「Un, I’m thinking of sleeping while watching beautiful lights」

「Hearing that makes it really Al-ish reason」

 Nord-tousan chuckled when I told them the reason I bought a lamp.

「Even so, you bought quite a lot, haven’t you.......?」

 It’s not surprising for her to think like that since I went on a shopping spree and bought 5 cases.

「That’s cause it’s souvenirs for everyone. I also bought for you two you know」

「Ara, I wonder what they are like?」

「Can you show it to us?」

 I feel a little embarrassed since it’s a souvenir for both of my parents, but I can’t say no to that since their eyes are already sparkling like so. Especially Nord-tousan, he looks very happy perhaps because he’s receiving a gift from his son. 

 I took out the case with the S-lamp while receiving gazes of expectations. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

「What beautiful lamps」

「Right?」

 A pair of S-shaped lamps are placed on the table. The two asymmetrical lamps are transparent and beautiful even without being lit.

 While Nord-tousan exclaimed in admiration, Elna-kaasan stared at the lamp with a serious expression on her face. 

「……such a refined skill in processing and designing for these beautiful magic stones……is this a lamp from Oken Magic Stone Craftmanship?」

「Maybe it’s there」

 I hadn’t seen the store’s signboard but the storekeeper was called Oken so I’m sure it’s there.

「But that place is an introduction-only establishment, you shouldn’t be able to get inside」

「I was able to enter because Ra-chan brought me there」

「I see」

 Elna-kaasan nodded as if her doubts had been answered.

 I feel like she’s a little envious even though she looks calm.

 Since it’s an introduction-only establishment, I don’t know if I will be able to bring them there suddenly but let’s try taking them there if we have spare time in the capital.

「I want to see the light」

「Un, I’ll turn it on」

 Answering to Elna-kaasan’s request, I turned off the magic tools of light inside the room and poured mana into the two lamps placed on the table.

 Immediately after that, two faint lights illuminated the darkened room.

「Oh, so beautiful」

「Un, truly.....」

 Looking at the brilliance of the transparent green and blue magic stones, the two of them muttered as if they sighed.

 The sparkling lights have a fantastic beauty to them, just like jewels.

「Say, Al. Why did you buy these for us?」

 After staring at the lights for some time, Elna-kaasan asked in a mutter. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com

 She must think that it’s strange for me to suddenly buy them such beautiful lamps.

 Even I know myself that buying these kinds of souvenirs is out of character, I was sure they would ask me about it.

「……I thought these lamps were the perfect fit for the two of you」

「Ufufu, right......thank you, I’m happy with this」

「Thank you, Al」

 When I answered like that, Elna-kaasan and Nord-tousan came closer and caressed my head.

「It’s just a souvenir you know」

「Even so, I’m happy that Al thought of us」

 I wonder why I would feel embarrassed just because I bought souvenirs for them?

 But, I guess it’s worth buying if it makes the two of them happy. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
