"T-this is..." Fatia stared at the crystal on Zarfa's palm.
"Diamond?" Zarfa took a sharp breath, and--was her hand slightly trembling?
Honestly, I had no idea how precious diamonds were in this world, with all the precious stones that were foreign to me, not to mention the versatile mana stones. But looking at their reaction, it seemed to be just as precious as back on Earth--perhaps more?
"So...something this rare..." Fatia looked at the entrance of the mine, her next words lost in her choked throat.
Was this girl about to cry again? She was a lot more emotional than she appeared to be.
We were already done with the purification, and I had returned the purified mana to the mine and its surroundings. I was done right during lunchtime, so we decided to have a picnic while waiting for the purified mana to get absorbed by the mine.
