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 snazzynovel.com found it troublesome, Gerald was thankful that snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com was able to find the exact one that Master Ghost had told snazzynovel.com to find.
It was a blue elite crystal that was about the size of an adult’s nail…
While snazzynovel.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, snazzynovel.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, snazzynovel.com still didn’t have any idea how to utilize it. With that, snazzynovel.com concluded that snazzynovel.com needed Master Ghost’s help to figure it out.
Knowing Master Ghost, Gerald had a feeling that that man had already foreseen snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com before saying, “Master Crawford, Miss Xyrielle from the Waddys family is here! While I had expected snazzynovel.com to leave after denying snazzynovel.com entry, she’s been waiting for you outside for an entire day and night! She keeps saying that snazzynovel.com has to meet you no matter what!”
“…Hmm? Xyrielle? What is snazzynovel.com doing here?”
Naturally knowing who snazzynovel.com was, Gerald remembered how indifferently snazzynovel.com had behaved every time snazzynovel.com was around him. Aside from snazzynovel.com birthday banquet, they pretty much had no other reason to meet each other. Even so, if snazzynovel.com truly had been waiting for snazzynovel.com for an entire day and night, snazzynovel.com had no reason not to meet her. Besides, snazzynovel.com felt slightly guilty for initially thinking of using snazzynovel.com to obtain an admission ticket.
“Let snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com saw Gerald, snazzynovel.com heart instantly began palpitating as snazzynovel.com stuttered, “G-Gerald… No- M-master Crawford!”
Thinking back, snazzynovel.com wondered why snazzynovel.com had found this person to be so mediocre just a few days ago… Honestly, hadn’t snazzynovel.com been acting rather high and mighty before snazzynovel.com at the time? To think that snazzynovel.com would now be too nervous to even look snazzynovel.com in the eye!
Smiling as snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com wanted to ask from snazzynovel.com was slightly impolite, and though snazzynovel.com was sure that Gerald would’ve agreed with it had snazzynovel.com not found out about his true identity, now that all this had happened, snazzynovel.com wasn’t so sure anymore. To make matters worse, snazzynovel.com nervousness and inferiority were making it extra hard for snazzynovel.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 snazzynovel.com said that, snazzynovel.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, snazzynovel.com simply gave up and decided to be straightforward about it.
Essentially, Xyrielle wanted snazzynovel.com to accompany snazzynovel.com there since snazzynovel.com wanted to look for the fortune-teller that snazzynovel.com had previously met at the riverside behind that mountain. In other words, snazzynovel.com wanted the fortune-teller to determine whether their marriage truly was predestined by fate, despite knowing how ridiculous snazzynovel.com motive sounded.
It didn’t help that snazzynovel.com was well aware that while marriage was the only thing on snazzynovel.com mind, Master Crawford was an actual busy person.
