Chapter 158

Presents

“Rebecca-san, Happy Birthday . ”

“”Congratulations~””

“My! My, my!”

Rebecca-san opened her eyes wide in surprise when she received the congratulations and the box with earrings from Allen and a bouquet from Elena .

“”Here, for you~””

She wasn’t quite taking the presents, so the children presented the box and bouquet again .

“My goodness! I’m so happy~”

Rebecca-san hasn’t accepted the presents yet, but hugged the children instead .

“Thank you, Allen-chan, Elena-chan~”

“”Ehehe~””

“Thanks to you too, Takumi-san . I’m very happy . ”

“I’m also glad that we could please you . ”

Rebecca-san said words to gratitude to me while hugging the children .

“Now, now, Rebecca . The children are feeling anxious so accept the presents already . ”

“”Heree~…””

“Oh my?”

Allen and Elena were happy to be hugged by Rebecca-san, but because she hasn’t accepted their presents yet, their eyes were swimming around, not knowing what to do . When Matthias-san pointed that out, she looked at the confused children .

Rebecca-san instructed a servant to immediately arrange the bouquet she received into a vase . Then, her attention transferred to the box in her hand .

“Please, open it if you’d like . ”

“Okay . Then… —— My! My, my!”

Rebecca-san raised her voice in surprise after opening the box .

“Hey, Takumi-san! Aren’t these pearls!?”

“Then, here you go, from me . ”

Seeing Rebecca-san so surprised because of the pearls, Matthias-san held out an opened box with the pearl necklace .

“My! What is this, Dear!”

Rebecca-san was surprised even more .

“How is it? Do you like it?”

Seeing Rebecca-san’s surprised expression, Matthias-san made a triumphant expression .

“Gee! It’s wonderful! These earrings and the necklace are of matching design, no? You were in cahoots with Takumi-san! Allen-chan and Elena-chan knew as well, did you not~ How cruel of you to keep it secret from me~”

“”Ukya~””

Her tone sounded angry, but Rebecca-san who was smiling embraced Allen and Elena once more . Allen and Elena happily returned the hug .

“Hahaha~ Takumi-kun, that’s how she looks when she’s trying to hide her happiness in embarrassement . . ”

It appears that Rebecca-san hugged the children so she could hide her embarrassement .

“Dear! You were not supposed to point that out!”

After being pointed out by Matthias-san, Rebecca-san’s cheeks slightly dyed red .

It seems that she really was embarrassed .

“My wife is adorable, isn’t she?”

“Yes, indeed she is~”

“Gee! Stop teasing me, you two~”

Rebecca-san whose face turned even redder was as cute as a young maiden .

“Still, what fine pearls these are . I have never seen such quality before . ”

“Ahh, these were procured by Takumi-san . He has pearls of shocking quality lying around, you know?”

“Oh my, Takumi-san has? Indeed, it wouldn’t be strange for him to have something like this in his possession . ”

“Truly . I won’t be surprised by anything he takes out next . ”

“Oh my? Even a dragon’s fang?”

“Dragon’s fangs really do exist after all . Something like that won’t surprise me . Since it’s Takumi-kun we are talking about, we better consider items of the legendary grade . ”

“That’s true . ”

“…… Ehh~”

I felt quite complicated from hearing Matthias-san and Rebecca-san’s exchange .

I don’t have a dragon’s fang in my possession… but well, I do have a scale of water demi-god though~ Someh
