Chapter 30

Sez’s heart was pounding.
‘What if he doesn’t like it?’
Sez glanced at Rayton, but he was frowning slightly.
‘So, he doesn’t like it.’
Sez was visibly down in the dumps.
"What is this?"
"It’s a necklace. I stayed up all night making it...”
“…….”
"Of course, Runa helped me a little bit, but I did my best too.”
It was a necklace made using the ruby that Rayton threw away on his birthday. The red ruby, which resembled the color of his eyes…
Sure, it was nothing like the work of a master craftsman but at least had Sez tried her best, just like she said. Sez thought he wouldn’t show his dislike so openly as they were closer than before, but...
"I-it looks a little crude, but it's not that bad when you put it on…”
Sez almost whispered out of shame.
"I was bothered that I couldn’t give you a proper gift in return for everything you’ve done. Also, I thought it was meaningful since it looks like your eyes...”
"…Are you mocking me right now?"
