We spend a whole day looking for presents, traversing the town.
First is the craft district.
The craft district has a variety of magic items available.
Of course, the business district has magic items as well.
But the ones available there are all commercialized items, practical but expensive.
Craft district have many inexperienced magic toolmaker trainees, so a lot of their practice works can be found.
None of much use, basically all toys.
But, you might find a rare item by a future genius here too.
According to Roxy.
Seems like one of Roxy's classmates studied in the Craft District.
But unfortunately he already left town.
"Although I don't think we'll find anything for the girls here."
Despite what she said, Roxy busies herself checking out all the magic items.
Of course, I don't think we'll find Aisha and Norn anything here either.
I'm actually here to find a present for Roxy.
Even though Roxy and I already married, we never even had a wedding reception.
She said wedding ceremonies are unnecessary, but we should at least have a reception.
So I plan to celebrate it along with Aisha's and Norn's birthday.
Of course, Roxy doesn't know.
This too is a surprise.
A surprise for one that helped prepare it.
I plan to drop by in secret tomorrow, if Roxy says [I want this] here.
If it's a magic tool, it might be pricey.
Right now, my family income includes Sylphy and Roxy's wages, royalties from the scroll I got from Nanahoshi, and my share of earnings from the Labyrinth. Four income sources in all.
In particular with the last one, including the inheritance from Paul, there's enough there for us to enjoy for 30 years or so.
Not enough to squander frivolously, but plenty there.
Still, you never know when a time to use money comes.
That's why I still avoid being a big spender in everyday life.
But commemorating a wedding is an exception.
Even if Roxy said [I want a Porsche Cayenne] I would buy it for her.
But recently Roxy has been riding Jirou everywhere, so I don't think she needs a new ride.
"This pot freezes anything when you pour magic in it. It might work for Aisha?"
"I think Aisha wants something cuter."
"Ah, true, we shouldn't give her anything work-related..."
While Sylphy and Roxy discuss this and that, I carefully keep an eye on Roxy.
Until now, I have yet to find Roxy fawning over anything.
So far she has only diligently looked for gifts for Aisha and Norn.
Completely ignoring her own feelings.
"Rudi, are you looking?"
"Yes. Looking to lick Roxy all over."
"Please take this seriously. Wasn't it Rudi's idea to buy presents?"
Of course, I was thinking about presents for Norn and Aisha too.
But I think we won't find anything here also.
