Ten: Lover?

"You? You did it for this?" Alven immediately panicked when he saw Qinny's embarrassed expression.

"You we're for first friend, right?"

"I've been transferring schools since second grade, so it's been a long time since we last saw each other."

"Is this true love?" Qinny was disappointed in what she'd done to Alven, because Alven was the one who made Qinny feel loved.

"W-Why? Why do you want me? What do you want?" Alven felt confused and anxious about the small situation that made him feel like he and Kinny had fallen in love.

"Can you accept my feelings of love?" Qinny really does want to, but...

*Hmm*

*Sigh*

"Okay. What do you want?"

Alven knelt down, held Qinny's hand, and confessed his feelings.

"Will you be my wife?" Alven finally confessed his feelings to Qinny, and the two decided to get married, surprising everyone who witnessed.

"Huh? Huh?"

*Whaa ... 

"Oh, you're awake?"

"Um, what exactly are you two doing?" Seeing Alven, the man she'd one day marry, holding Qinny's hand, piqued her curiosity and foreplay began.

"Hey, are you awake?"

"Is there anything in my drawer?"

"Huh? Is there something important?"

"Just get it quickly."

"Yes, yes, thank you."

Foreplay took an item from the drawer, and since it was dark, she turned on the light and found a small, shiny item that reminded her of her and Alven's first meeting at the jewelry store.

.

"Hey, what are you doing in this shop? This is for women only."

"Yes, I'm looking for a valuable item for a friend."

"What? Do you really have a girlfriend?"

"No, this was made especially for Qinny. She wanted a beautiful ring, but there was nothing like it in her kingdom."

"Are you planning to buy it with the money left over from your adventure?"

"Oh, right." Alven realized that the money left over from their adventure had been used to buy the ring Qinny had wanted.

"You greedy bastard, what are you going to do with it?"

"Wait, I'll do it myself."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm the hero who protects my father's secret."

"Okay. What would you like?"

After seeing the famous ring that nobles had worn since middle school, Alven felt glad that he had bought Kinny the ring she had wanted.

"What are you doing?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Are you looking at the ring?"

"Why can't I buy the food I want?"

"Oh, that's right. The princess is hungry. I have to go find her."

"Oh, that's right. I bought too much."

"Yes, princess." Alven was teasing Qinny, saying he wanted to buy her the food she wanted.

Qinny looked at the ring again, pondering for a moment, and thought to herself: "Should I buy this ring again? It's expensive, and it's 100.000 nomadica isn't enough to buy one ring. I only have 50 nomadica left, so it's fine. I'll buy it myself someday."

"Qinny, why are you still there?"

"Uh, uh, sure, I'll go."

They left her with her favorite things, and Alven was finally able to buy the ring she wanted. Alven was pleased with her efforts as an adventurer, and for over ten years, he had intended to give the ring to Qinny as a token of her gratitude.
