Chapter 26 Sunstone 

After I finished retorting to my System in my head.

I then gives my trunk to the girls in the backseat while saying, "If you would like, you can take a look at the goods first and take whatever you want in there for free, consider it my thank you gift."

"Uh, sure then, if you insist...." said Chikane while taking the trunk from my hand....

"Ugh, unexpectedly it's quite heavy...." she said that while putting the trunk on her lap and opened it to take a look at the contents inside.

"Of course it would be quite heavy. It is loaded full with stones and gold, not suits and clothes. I estimated that the total weight of that baggage would be no less than 40 kilograms." I said that to the girls while watching Chikane utilizing the strength from her draconic bloodline to take my trunk and put it above her heavenly thighs before effortlessly opening the trunk that is not locked by me.

The driver of the car who is the young chief butler of the Saegusa Family took a peek on me with the corner of his eyes before taking  a peek of his young lady and her friend in the back seat by looking at the rearview mirror.

I am not sure if it is a chief butler's duty to become a personal driver of his young miss.

Isn't the Saegusa Family have their own dedicated car drivers separated from the maids and butlers?

Hey, aren't your attempts to approach your young miss to get close to her too obvious?

Also, please look at the road in front of you!

You are driving a car now!

Is leaving this kind of person always near Chikane at home and on her way to the school okay?

Eh...., wait, I think I remember that in Yurihana no Miko series, Chikane and Kiseki are often walks to and from the school instead of being driven in a car....

Could it be because now they are bringing me along and they also have a matter regarding me with their respective family's businesses that they are now using a car instead of walking with their foot instead?

I think what I thought of is quite possible.

Anyway, after leaving a sigh at the butler (or driver) who have his focus divided between driving safely on the road and looking at his young lady, I returned my focus of attention to the girls in the backseat....

"Woahhh...." Kiseki softly exclaimed when she sees the contents of my trunk.

"Well, well, this is quite a haul." Chikane also remarked after seeing the gemstones and the gold inside my trunk.

Kiseki and Chikane both take a look at the gemstones here and there.

Both the girls are not only appreciating my jewels, but also talks with each others to divide which jewel will be sold to Himemiya Clan's Auction House and what to be sold at Saegusa Family's Jewelry Shop.

Kiseki: "Those pictorial agates, although their net worth is not as precious as diamonds but the picture depicted on the jewels makes them worth more with their aesthetic and artistic values. I think this kind of jewel would have a higher price if being sold in the auction house instead of the jewelry shop. What do you think, Chikane-chan?"

Chikane: "Okay, I think so too. In fact, I also plans to only take the gold leaves and gemstones like those diamonds, ruby, sapphire and anything that the value can simply be counted by their carats and quality to be sold in my shop. As for those pictorial agates, and other gemstones like those carved jades too, I think it would be best to auction them to get the higher price."

Kiseki: "Yay! Then I will take this, this, and this." (gathers and separates the pictorial agates and carved gemstones from the other gemstones to the left side of the trunks)

Chikane: "Hm, I think this arrangement is quite good." (helps Kiseki to carefully re-arrange the contents of my trunk so that Kiseki's portion is on the left side and Chikane's part is on the right.

Kiseki: "Ranata-kun, what is this stone?"  Kiseki asked to me while holding an orange red precious stone with twinkling sparkling lights that flickered within.

Ranata: "Oh, that's called a Sunstone. It is a precious stone that is unique in its sparkling light that seems to twinkle inside. This uniqueness is the thing that makes it stands out from other jewels and makes this stone very suitable to be used as jewelry. The flickering sparkles inside this stone is produced because the Sunstone crystalline structure contains red hematite stones which is hexagonal in shape, thus acting like prisms which reflected light and giving them orange-reddish color."

Kiseki: "Uhhhh..... Honestly I don't understand the latter part, but I think this Sunstone is amazing! Can I take this as your gift?" (smiles sweetly)

Ranata: "Oh, sure. But are you sure you want only this? That stone is not as expensive as diamonds, though they are quite rare and I am confident that it's very difficult to find one with as high quality as mine. You can take some more stones you liked."

Kiseki: (shakes her head) "Un.... I will only take this one stone, I won't feel good if I take advantage of you too much, you are our benefactor in the first place, after all."

Ranata: "Oh, if you feel like that, sure then..."

Kiseki: "Yes, I fancy this stone very much. Thank you." (smiles sweetly to me with a faint blush on her cheeks).

Kiseki's blushing smile is so adorable and innocently alluring!

If there is no Chikane who is sitting beside her, I would like to pound on her and kisses her here and there for innocently seducing me with her innate charm.

While thinking such a predatorial thought to Kiseki like that, I looked at Chikane who sits on the right hand side of her best friend....
