My House Is a Magic Power Spot ~Just by Living There I Become the Strongest in the World~ - Chapter 230

The open air kitchen we had set up in front of the cottage was livelier than ever .

The sky lit up with magic fireworks that the witches shot up as the Knights below continued to cook and eat seafood one after the next .

Sakura and I sat on a bench a short distance away as we watched the bustling party .

「How lively…」
「Indeed…」

We had already eaten and drank our fill so we were now in spectator mode .

The cottage and eating area were some distance apart so it wasn’t oo noisy . We were able to relax in peace .

「Our time here will end tomorrow . 」
「You’re right… . well, Dianeisan did say we could come back any time we wanted . 」

I was grateful for the offer but this was more of a once a year kind of vacation . I probably wouldn’t be coming back soon .

Despite feeling a bit lonely that I would be leaving this beautiful place, my happiness about returning to my own home was growing stronger .

So I would probably enjoy the comforts of home for a while once I got back .

「I’ll be under your care once more when we get back Sakura . 」
「Yes I’ll put my heart and soul into it!」
「Thanks . Oh, also I wanted to thank you for all your efforts this week . Your cooking and cleaning and everything else . I’m thankful . 」

Ever since we came here I had been cared for by Sakura just like back home .

She always prepared a meal for me when I went fishing and prepared everything that I caught .

Even when swimming and performing maintenance on the parasol golem… . it feels like she did even more than when we were back home .

I felt I had to thank her properly, but Sakura simply shook her head with a smile .

「No no, I’m just happy I could make your life easier Master . Plus I enjoyed my time swimming and cooking for you . 」

「I’m grateful that you’d say that but… . . I don’t like simply receiving your favor without giving anything back . I brought you this . 」

I said and pulled out a small box from my jacket .

The box opened to reveal a cherry blossom colored magic crystal (from a magic mussel) set inside a ring .

「U-ummm th-this is……?」
「You’ve worked hard Sakura so I wanted to get you a present . 」
「What is th-this ring? It has the magic crystal that you got attached to it……」
「Well I saw Anne selling such accessories when we were in town . I finally obtained something that’s like a pearl too . I asked her how she made her jewelry and tried making my own . 」

The other day I had finished making the nets faster than I thought .

Since my hands were free and I was searching for a new project, I thought of making something in appreciation of Sakura’s hard work .

She seemed a bit jealous after finding out that I had given Hesty and Dianeia something…

I felt that it was not right of me to not gift her something . She had cared for me the most .

The result of these thoughts was this present .

This magic crystal had other uses, but I didn’t consider anything else .

It looked like a gorgeous pearl so I decided to make a ring with it .

「I practiced till I got it right so the size and shape should be fairly correct . 」

I had created many things since I arrived in this world, but I lacked experience in crafting delicate objects .

Thanks to that this ring took much more time than anything else I’d made .

I think I did a thorough job and thought the result wasn’t bad .

「Well, my aesthetic sense is a bit off . If you have any preferences I can change it for you Sakura . If you don’t like it you can just close the box and give it back . 」

I said lightly and placed the box and ring into Sakura’s hand . She seemed startled as she quickly shook her head .

「O-of course I’ll put it on! There’s no way I wouldn’t love it… . !」
「I see…I’m glad…… . . ummm Sakura?」

Sakura set the ring aside and grasped my hand tightly before bringing it close to her chest and hugging it tightly .

「I’m happy…… . so very happy!」

Her face was full of joy with a smile that made it look like she was on the verge of tears .

「… . . Seeing how happy this made you made the effort worth it . 」
「Yes . I’m really… . . thank you . You’re my… . you’re my only Master… . ! I’ll treasure this… . from the bottom of my heart . 」
「I’m happy you like it . 」

Amidst the light of the fireworks Sakura and I exchanged words .

And so we slowly enjoyed the last vestiges of our vacation .
