The name Heart of Blue are so commonly used!
I have had numerous items with this kind of shade before but, it was the first for gems with this particular colour…………
Even so, this gem appeared to have reflective properties as well. It might be really convenient if I were to use it on my shield…..
Although, it was a little unfortunate that my name was already listed as the owner. If this had gone well, I would have the opportunity to know who the previous owner of this residence was.
In addition to the blue coloured gem, there were also other primary coloured gems like red and green mixed in as well. Metallic coloured ones like gold and silver as well as marble-like and transparent gems could be seen among them too.
I should examine them one by one at a later time in the future. Nevertheless, they proved to be quite good finds……… It would be a great idea to add them to my armours if there were any of them that possessed the properties to increase defence.
I retrieved the gems and returned downstairs to find Diana and Marina waiting there for me. Hetty-san and Rebecca-san appeared to have gone outside for a breath of fresh air. It must be tough getting a hangover……..Well, they did have a little bit too much to drink yesterday.
“Diana, do you know what this is? I found it upstairs but….” [Jirou]
I showed the Heart of Blue to Diana. It looked like a usual gem at the first glance but, seeing that Diana is a high elf, she might be able to appraise it from a different point of view……
“?…..Is this a….gem? It’s really pretty and colourful.” [Diana]
Apparently it looked just like a normal gem to her. Well, in fact, it wouldn’t look like anything else other than a normal gem to people usually.
……..That could only mean that, there was also a possibility that someone might accidentally sell a gem like the Heart of Blue as a normal gem, wasn’t it?
Iya~ anyway, it’s troublesome, isn’t it? Having a highly in demand appraisal ability in this other world. From now on, I should first appraise every single gem that I come across before doing anything else.
After that, since we didn’t have anything else to do, we left the maintenance work to Hetty-san and went to Rebecca-san’s house.
That was because, Rebecca-san would be teaching us horse riding and sword fighting until the mansion is done. I could finally ride in tandem with no qualms after knowing that Rebecca-san and Shello-san are not a married couple!
………No, it might be bad idea to wrap my arms around the waist of someone’s daughter when we’re in front of the father.
But well…..horse riding itself fully provides one with dreams. If I were to ride in tandem with Marina, I could cling to her waist or grope her breasts as I like and if I were to ride with Diana, I could also wrap my arms around her waist or tousled her hair freely.
We have already ordered 3 horses but, there could be a possibility of this mindset embedded in their minds. A master will always cling to the slave from the back when they travel by horse. Should I change the order now? I think it might affect the efficiency of things in the future if I were to prioritize my personal desire instead though.
Just as I was walking around, thinking that it wouldn’t really matter, Diana suddenly appeared with a meek looking expression on her face.
“Goshujin-sama. The law of nature was reversed for an instant just now. There seem to be monsters appearing on the other side of the forest.” [Diana]
“Eh?” [Jirou]
“Considering the location, they will definitely be coming here. If you wish to fight back, you should get yourself ready for battle. If you wish to flee, we can escape to the mansion. There is a barrier surrounding that place so it’ll be safe.” [Diana]
