The cherry blossom thing that Leah was looking at was a beautiful accessory.

(Cherry blossom ring: ...... 10,000 golds, or ......)

　It's expensive.

　...... No, if you take into account that it was a ring, you could say that it was quite cheap in general.

　However, 10,000 gordo is incredibly high for my financial sense and wallet.

(But why is she looking so difficult? ......?)

　Leah is a very rich woman, much richer than I am.

(I don't think I'd have to worry about 10,000 golds. ......)

　The next moment, as I thought about this, I felt an electric shock in my brain.

(Oh, by the way, Paula told me about this a long time ago. ......)

　It was, as I recall, on her birthday.

　I was twelve years old at the time, and I planned to give her an apron as a present to thank her for all the help she had given me.

(I went to the next town to look for one, but ....... (I went to the next town to look for one, but I couldn't find anything over two meters in size, and I ended up in trouble in an unfamiliar crowd. ......)

　I still clearly remember the uneasy feeling I had at that time.

　I looked everywhere but couldn't find the right apron: .......
　In the end, I ended up buying the biggest apron I could find at a nearby store just as the sun was setting.

　But it was instantly recognizable as "small" when compared to Paula's huge body.

　And that night, when she received the wrong size apron, she was overjoyed and excited.

　I wondered why she was so happy when I said, "It's not that expensive and it's the wrong size. So why was she so happy to receive it? Paula said with a powerful smile.

[Listen, Allen?　A girl is a creature that is extremely vulnerable to gifts. That's right, ...... when you have a girlfriend in the future (・・・・), you should give her a gift that is full of feeling. It's not the appearance or the price that matters, it's the feeling you have for the person.

(Maybe this moment is the "moment" Paula was talking about. ......)

　(Maybe this is the "moment" Paula was talking about.) Remembering my advice from three years ago, I decided to probe first.

I'm not sure what to say.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I'm not sure what to say.　Oh, Allen, ......, when did you get here?

　Leah screamed and put her hands on her chest.
　She put her hands on her chest, apparently startling him a little.

I'm sorry. I saw that you had a difficult expression on your face, so I was a little curious.

Oh, I see. ....... Thanks, it's nothing, I'm fine.

　She said this and looked at the cherry ring for just a moment.

　I didn't miss the moment and casually broached the subject.

"That's a beautiful ring.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

It's a beautiful ring,.......

I'm sure you're right, .......

"......

"......

　An indescribably subtle silence fell between the two.

(What about this, ......?　(What the hell am I supposed to do, ......?

　Should I push or should I retreat?

(On the off chance that you try to give her a gift and she simply rejects it,......?

　Just the thought of it sent shivers down my spine.

　Still...

(You can't just run away here, ......!

　Now was the time to muster up the courage to take the fight to the next level.

　I scolded myself for my cowardice, and finally took a big step forward.

Do you want that ring?

Well, let's see. ....... It's the ...... one.

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one.

(This reaction is definitely ......!

　(This reaction is definitely !) As I thought, this moment seems to be the "time of the battle".

(Okay, let's do this. ......)

　I made up my mind and let out a big breath and said clearly.

And if it's okay with Leah, ....... If it's okay with you, Leah, can I have that ring as a gift ......?

　And the next moment.

"Really, ......?

　The next thing I know, her big eyes are shining and she's looking right at me.
