When we got to the library, which was also the classroom, Chris fidgeted and looked like she wanted to say something . Is it about the blind date?
“Hey, Lei . ”
“Ai?”
“I’m curious about that box, about that box you’re holding . ”
“Thish?”
I held the bag and puffed out my chest .
“Thish ish a preshenth from my triph . ” (This is a present from my trip)
“It wasn’t a trip, we were inspecting the fief,” Nico said seriously . At first, but I felt like we had just played around since we got to Ojii-sama’s fief . Then, I’ll rephrase it, “Thish ish preshenths from thhe inshpecthion . ”
“Show me!”
I sat down on the carpet, flipped open the box and opened it on the floor .
“Wow, huh? What’s this?” Chris’s delight changed to confusion .
“Preshenths . I picwed thhem up from everywhere . ”
The presents that I had spread out onto the floor were collected from all over the place . First, I picked up a flat and slightly bluish stone .
“Thish ish a shthone from Miwsh Lawe . ” (This is a stone from Mils Lake)
“Mils Lake is here . It’s to the northwest of the royal capital . ” I thought that Odds-sensei wouldn’t be here since we didn’t have class, but he was here . He immediately drew a map on the blackboard and explained where Mils Lake was .
I stood up with the flat stone in my hand and imitated throwing it to the side .
“Ith fwiesh on thhe wather if you thhrow ith wiwe thhish . ” (It flies on the water if you throw it like this)
“I don’t know what Lei is saying . ”
“Lei, it’s like this, right?”
Nico picked up another stone and did the same thing .
“If you throw it like this onto the water’s surface, then the stone will bounce over the water . ”
“What?! That’s amazing!”
“Ith’sh becaushe thhe shthone ish fwath . ” (It’s because the stone is flat)
“You’re right! The stones are flat . ”
I don’t think there’s much difference from how Nico explained it and how I explained it though . Why does Chris look like she understood him well? Fine . Let’s move onto the next item .
“And I cowwecthed a woth of them . ” (And I collected a lot of them)
The stones varied from bluish to reddish ones, and if you looked closely, there was a mix of different stones in there as well . Everyone went up to the stones and looked at them .
“I guess the waves from Mils Lake rubbed the stones together and the edges were grinded down to form round stones,” even Odds-sensei picked up a stone and explained this to us while demonstrating how the waves would rub the stones together .

I picked up another stone and showed it to them .
“Thish pointhy shthone ish from Purgathory Ishwand . ” (This pointy stone is from Purgatory Island)
“Lei, you picked up stones in that situation?”
Nico looked amazed, but I picked this up before everything happened .
“Really!? Leilsama, that island is… . ! Don’t tell me His Highness went as well?”
“H-hmm . I think I went . ”
Nico averted his gaze .
“And thish ish hepathica . ”
Odds-sensei seemed like he was going to start lecturing, so I interrupted him . I accidently mentioned Purgatory Island, but I didn’t want to tell him, I just forgot for a moment that it was a secret .
“The flower is flat . ”
“Thish ish withhered . If you puth ith intho a boow, thhen ith’ww go fwath wiwe thhish . ” (This is withered . If you put it into a book, then it’ll go flat like this)
When I returned, the maids stuck it onto a piece of paper with glue .
“Ith mawesh a good boowmarw . ” (It makes a good bookmark)
“You can see the flower whenever you want . It’s amazing . ”

Chris was happy with this .
“Thish ish a cave shthone . ” (This is a cave stone)
“Lei-sama, what the hell did you do?” Hans said in amazement . That’s rude of you to say that .
“I picwed ith up shince ith wash where I feww . ” (I picked it up since it was where I fell . ”
“So, turning anything to profit means this . ”
“I didn’th thrip . I feww . ” (I didn’t trip . I fell)
“That’s even worse . ”
Isn’t it fine since I didn’t fall because I wanted to .
“Look, this stone is black . ”
“You’re right . There’s something different about this stone . ”
It seemed like Chris understood how valuable the stone is .
“Aren’t these stones unique to the northern hills?” Odds-sensei looked at all the stones .
“There wash a cave ath Ojii-syama’s manshion . ”
“I knew it . I see, that’s very interesting . ”
After enjoying my presents, Nico signalled the maid to bring a small box .

“This is my present to Chris . ”
“What is it?”
It was a small box without any ribbons on it . I looked at it curiously .
Chris opened the box and a loud sound echoed in the room . There was a beautiful green stone inside .
“It’s a malachite from Wellington Mountain which is located on the other side of Mils Lake . It’s beautiful to look at, but I also heard that a lot of people make brooches out of it . ”
It was quite different from the malachite that I remember, but I guess this is what the power of a Prince is all about .
“Nico, thanks . ” Chris smiled happily . Then, she looked at me, “Thanks Lei,” and smiled happily . Chris has also grown since she could say thank you now . I nodded and there was a knock at the door . Then, a group of maids came in pushing carts .
Natalie stepped forward and coughed .
“This is a present to everyone from Leilsama . ”
Everyone was confused since there were sweets and tea on the carts even though it was a present .
“We have recreated the secret recipes from Earl Coulter’s mansion, which Leilsama has asked the chefs to teach her . The only place where you can eat these sweets in the royal capital is the Albans mansion . ” Natalie proudly emphasized the words, ‘secret’, ‘Leilsama’, and ‘asked’ . This evoked a shout of joy from the castle maids . Odds-sensei also looked happy . He must actually have a sweet tooth .
“Hmm . Well then, let’s take a break and have some tea . ”
“Sweethsh! Importhanth!”
“What do they taste like? I can’t wait to eat them!”
It’s okay to have days without studying .
