Chapter 28 Moonstone

Okay, let's go back to the story, we have wasted more than a thousand words just to see our MC here talks with the system about the reward he received.....

*cough*

With a soft cough, I looked again at Chikane who sits in the back and was talking with Kiseki about my jewels before she shifts her attention after hearing my soft cough.

"Uhm.... so...., have you decided what do you want to take, Saegusa-san?" I asked Chikane who still looked at me coldly. 

"Oh, yes, Chikane-chan, you should take a look more. Ranata-kun's stones are all very good looking, after all." Looking at the side, Kiseki tries to help me break the ice with Chikane.

"Not interested. We haven't even confirmed whether his stones are all really precious or just some faux jewels yet." Chikane talks to me with a very cold tone.

"Eeehhhh, but Chikane-chan, I don't think any of them are faux jewels though, I see that they are all looks good." Kiseki said to Chikane while defending me.

Kiseki-chan, you are such a good girl...

(-^_^-)

"*sigh* Kiseki-chan, you are so naive and innocent. Don't be fooled by all that glitters quickly. Let's just wait until we have appraised them with the expert first, okay?" Chikane let out a soft sigh seeing her best friend's naivety.

Oh well, that side of Kiseki is exactly what spurs our instinct to protect her, right?

"Even if they are fakes, I don't think it would hurt to just take one or two for free, right? Just take it as my thank you gift. And if you are not satisfied with what I gifted, I will just give you something other, okay?" I said that to Chikane to urge her to just pick one of my stone for free.

*sigh* People in fictional world sure are quite troublesome to dealt with, especially those with innate pride ingrained in their selves.

If it is in the real world, especially in my home country, even if they are fake items, as long as you can make them looks good and priced them lower than the real deals, a whole lot of people will still flocks over to buy them, even if they know that what they bought are KW or counterfeit items.

"....." Chikane still looks at me flatly, then looked at the trunk filled with gold and jewels to the brim, before then looking at her best friend who sits on the left of her and is also looking at her with sparkling stars of interests blindingly pouring out endlessly from her beryl green eyes.

What the... I scrubbed both of my eyes with my own hands before looking at them again to see if a glimpse of what I have just seen before are real or if it is just my imagination running up.

Oh, it must be those exaggerated anime effects....

(=o= ")

Anyway, let me just continue persuading Chikane more.

"Saegusa-san, if you still can't decide what do you want to take from my collection, how about taking a Moonstone with you? I think it will be a perfect match with Kiseki-chan's Sunstone." I said my suggestion to Chikane while probing to make sure will it be okay if I try to call Kiseki with the same intimate way as Chikane do?

"Oh? There is a stone like that among your collection?" Chikane looked at my collection of gemstones in the trunk on her lap.

She and Kiseki both rummaged my stuffs until they both found some stones that have soft glow in its luster that seems similar to the moonlight.

"Is this it? The Moonstone." Chikane asked me while taking one stone in her palm and showing the stone to me.

"Yes, that's correct. It is a Moonstone, obviously named from the soft pearly luster of its glow that felt like the moonlight." I answered her.

"Woahhh..... It's so beautiful...." said Kiseki while holding the Sunstone in her hand and placed it beside the Moonstone in Chikane's opened palm.

I want to continue with my explanation about how a Moonstone is categorized as feldspar stones, and it contains silica, natrium, kalium and aluminium.

But I stopped myself from useless blabbering as I looked at both of the beautiful girls who look at the two gemstones in one's palm with their admiring gazes.

The reddish - orange shiny sparkling Sunstones with twinkling lights glimmering within makes a unique combination when it is getting paired with the Moonstone that glows softly in the pearly bluish - white luster.

Even Chikane who is used to look at me with a sharp and cold gaze also seems to be in awe with the beauty of my stones.

"So? How about it? Will you take them?" I said that while flashing a handsome smile to both of the girls.

I see the chief butler suddenly looked at me who smiles handsomely to his young miss with the corner his eyes, a mix flavor of envy and jealousy can be felt so thick within his gaze.

Kiseki who suddenly looks at me is blushing furiously before she averted her charming verdant eyes to look at the pair of stones in Chikane's white jade palm in an attempt to hide her embarassment.

Chikane whose reaction is so quick as lightning looks at Kiseki who was looking at me for a split second first before she is blushing cutely.

The cold and aloof school princess then look at me for another split second, and then at the moonstone in her palm for half a breath, then back to Kiseki's sunstone that is paired beside it for another half a breath, and finally she looks again at Kiseki who have a lovely gaze filled with admiration towards the two gemstones in her palm for quite a long time.

Closing her beautiful golden eyes, she then opened them again after a single breath before sanswering my question,

"Okay, I will take this Moonstone from you. Only because it is a good pair with Kiseki's Sunstone, don't misunderstand."

What's need to be misunderstood?

I heard Chikane's tone that felt like a Tsundere in my mind.

Nah..., at least she is cool-headed tsundere with a sane mind, not like those psycho, mentally sick hot-blooded tsundere who will hit her man every time she is embarassed.

I really wonder why Nipporn people loves to depict domestic violence done by woman in their works?

Are they all some Masochists who gets turned on whenever they are being abused by their woman?

Author's Note:

Talking about Aluminum/Aluminium, I remember someone in the past who read them as Almunium and he insists that he is the right one even after we try to correct him.

Well, I guess his head is harder than even the aluminium, maybe that idiot can vie for ranking with those dense male protagonist.

Okay, jokes aside, just like in the 26th Chapter, for those of you who want to look at what Moonstones looks like but too lazy to open your internet browser to search the images of it, you can see the pictures that I have uploaded on the Attachment (Patreon) or on the Comments Section (Webnovel).
