They cried out and clinked their glasses together.
Then several surprised voices echoed out.
Un, its really good!
The maple syrup had a smooth and delicious taste, while the cranberries gave it some sourness, and was supported by the purified mountain water. Those flavors combined and spread through your mouth.
It was something you felt like you could keep drinking.
Cyril this sake is great. It has a really smooth taste. I feel relieved just drinking it.
I looked around and smiled.
The friends and family of the Nettle members were gathered around them laughing, crying, and talking.
For example Kuu
Around her were many Fire Foxes and some elves that were getting along well as they chatted.
Yukino
She was talking with Kemin and Kurone as they held back their tears and showed a smile.
Roleau
He was talking dirty with the men of the guard squad as they laughed and bumped fists.
Theyre all looking to the future
Cyril-niisamaplease. Please protect Yukino.Kuro asks this too. Yukino is trying too hard and its scary. Please stop her if she tries to do something too dangerous. Youre the only one that can save her if she goes off by herself.
I seethe three of them were always together so they had seen danger signs in Yukinos behavior and couldnt help but worry.
Alrightdont worry Ill protect Yukino and everyone else as well. I said it before, I wont be letting them die.
The both looked at each other and nodded.
Then thats a promise Cyril-niisama. Youll protect Yukino properlyIf you keep your promise properly then well give you our most important thing.
The both of them grasped my hands tightly and I could feel them shaking a bit.
Yes, I promise. Ill protect her. Plus, to me she is my cute little sister so of course Ill protect her. So dont worry, I dont need any kind of reward for that.
I said confidently, but the two of them shook their heads.
Thats no good. We cant let go of a promise so easily. Kuro will give my precious thing.Me too Cyril-niisama.
They wouldnt budge. Thats what their eyes said. If they went this far then it would be unkind and rude to refuse.
I understand. Ill protect Yukino properly so get your gift ready by the time I return.Thank you very much Cyril-niisama.Kuro loves nii-sama~
They finally seemed to be put at ease as they hugged me.
However, I couldnt help wonder what they were actually planning to gift me.
I thought about it a bit as I headed back to my home.
In a certain way I was getting worked up along the way back.
I messed with the final product rings I had made after trial and error. These were the three that I had made to my standard.
