"Mura, what should I do with the noble lady's birthday party and gifts?" Griffith tapped the table and whispered to Murat, who was reviewing for the exam.
"Simple, extra-large cake, teddy bear, and overwhelming heart-shaped paper fireworks at the birthday party."
Damn it, why did I forget that this guy's fiancée was only twelve years old? This experience means nothing at all. Griffith turned his head bitterly and asked for help from others.
"Media, how should I prepare a birthday gift for a girl?"
Midianmaia thought for a while and said proudly: "You have asked the right person about this. A piece of Sequence 7 Extraordinary properties, preferably with blood on it, bring two bottles of wine and the story of your victory in the battle, call Everyone, prepare a table of barbecue."
Ophelia nodded deeply at the side and snapped her fingers to Midianmaiya, "Six bottles!"
"..."
It's my fault, it's my fault! I shouldn't ask these weirdos. Griffith held his forehead.
I have to ask a normal, sane person with similar circumstances and thoughts to me for reference!
Griffith Lala next to Lana, this guy is lowering his head to review to avoid failing the exam. Griffith asked: "Lana, how should we prepare a gift for the Countess' birthday?"
The tall hussar glanced at his classmate. Although Rana is mighty and fierce, he is one of the few well-educated people in Shutoral. Soon, he understood what Griffith was asking:
“Everyone’s situation is different and cannot be generalized.
"I recommend you a way. First, prepare a lot of flowers and a bottle of wine."
Well, this start sounds pretty good, worthy of Rana! Griffith nodded seriously.
"Then prepare a big cardboard box and red satin."
What are you preparing these things for...
"Get yourself cleaned up, put on your best uniform and medals,"
You don’t need to tell me this…
Lana looked at Griffith with sincere eyes and said seriously: "Then tie yourself a bow with satin, jump into the box, bring wine and flowers, and close the box. Ah, by the way! Leave a note on the outside of the box. , it says - Happy Birthday! I am a gift!"
…
June 20, 1444, Second Age.
Sonia finished the exam all day and returned to the dormitory exhausted.
Griffith and everyone booked a grand dinner for her in the best private restaurant on campus and invited everyone to attend. Fiona looked sneaky and did not appear in the room as if she was plotting something with Griffith.
Sonia took off her shoes, lay on the bed, and swung her smooth feet around her slippers.
I didn't expect Griffith to be so considerate. I'm so happy. This is the first time I've left home to celebrate my birthday outside. I was a little lonely at first, but now I feel so happy!
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a particularly large box in the corner of the dormitory, covered with cute pink stickers and hastily wrapped in red satin.
"What is this?" Sonia took off her coat and walked over to look at the big box. There is a note on the outside of the box with this line written on it:
"Happy birthday! I'm a gift!"
This is Griffith's handwriting. What a big gift! He only earns 300 silver francs per month. It is wrong to spend money so lavishly. I will criticize him later.
But, so happy! I have never received such a big gift! The pony my dad gave me doesn't count, eh.
Sonia also took off her close-fitting clothes and hurriedly put on a party dress. Without a maid around, you have to do all these things yourself, but it's not easy at all.
She was busy dressing up, the dinner was about to start. Unlike Galadia and Fiona, who have long straight hair, her long blond hair has always been carefully combed and tied into a bun like young leaves and buds. A strand of blond hair will hang down accidentally. Becoming untidy.
As the star of the party, she was a little late in dressing up.
Sonia combed her hair quickly and glanced at the big box in the corner from time to time.
I really want to open it now, the gift from Griffith must be different! He is very good at learning from other people's experiences and has his own ideas.
But there is no time. The dinner will start soon and everyone is waiting for me! Such a big gift will be opened later.
Sonia looked in the mirror to make sure her hair was combed. She hurriedly changed into her skirt, stepped on her high heels, picked up her skirt and ran out.
…
The party was really great, pink paper fireworks were scattered everywhere. The cake is so big and tall that it can be divided into pieces for the whole grade.
And it's delicious. Griffith must have tried several varieties before settling on one. Sonia was so happy. She received many gifts and had a great time playing with everyone.
The strange thing was that Griffith didn't show up until everyone had divided the cake. There is definitely something wrong with this. Even if the world is about to be destroyed, he will not miss this!
"Has anyone seen where Griffith is?" Galadia, who was dressed up, stood for a long time holding a large piece of cake left for Griffith. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore and asked everyone, " I’m curious about what birthday present he would give him, hmm.”
"That's right, where has he gone!"
"How could this piece of wood be late today!"
Midianmaia, who had had a few too many drinks, shouted: "Don't criticize Griffith. His gift is very good. He is wearing a full cavalry uniform and a medal. The gift is a Sequence Seven 'Wizard' extraordinary characteristic captured in the battle." Gems, on velvet!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ophelia gave him a kick.
"Hey, why are you like this! Leaking secrets is bad!" Some people who knew about Griffith's plan began to criticize Midianmaiya.
Sonia's eyes lit up, she was so happy. Is your knight giving precious battle capture as a gift at the birthday party, or is it the crystallization of the precious spellcaster's characteristics? Is there any more meaningful, more dignified, more precious, and more perfect gift than this? This gift and thought simply needed a kiss from the countess to put it into place.
Galadia curled her lips in disappointment. She also felt that this gift was good, but it was not for herself.
"It's just~" Sonia suddenly remembered something, "I saw a big box in the room. It was very big. It was a gift from Griffith. Extraordinary properties do not require such a big box."
The whole place was quiet...
Fiona held her forehead and almost fainted to the ground. After a while, she said with difficulty: "Griffith and I moved that box in together."
"So where is Griffith?" Sonia asked without thinking.
"Griffith is in the box."
…
The exam was finally over, but Griffith was not in a relaxed mood at all.
Galadia's birthday was coming in two months, so he had to prepare in advance. The only creative ideas are used on Sonia's birthday, which can make the classmates laugh for half a year. He had to come up with a better one for Miss Elf.
Ah, it’s so difficult! No clue at all.
Griffith scratched his head and found that he could not find the answer. He could only change his mind and think of something else.
What is the Deathrattle Order planning? The known information is that they used Raven's large amount of life and spiritual energy to create something, and they must have their next plan. Griffith had a feeling that he would encounter them again in the near future.
While he was thinking, he recorded the time and summary of the incident on paper, sorting out the causes and consequences.
At this time, there was a charming fragrance of roses appearing behind him and peeking over his shoulders.
"What are you thinking about?" Galadia almost put her chin on his shoulder, looked at him, and then at the messy records on the paper.
"I'm thinking."
"What are you thinking about?"
"Thinking about your birthday gift and other things." Griffith raised his quill, tickled the tip of Miss Elf's nose with its feathers, and pushed her to a chair aside.
"Why do you have to write down a timetable and events when you are thinking about a birthday gift?" Galadia looked at him while holding a thick book. "You were obviously thinking about other things, but you dared to fool me. Hmph!"
"I thought about your birthday first, and then I thought about other things."
"Okay," the elf curled his lips and looked at him, "The gift you gave Sonia was so thoughtful - ah!"
"..."
I knew it would be like this! Griffith's whole body was alert. But he had been prepared for it and knew that the girl would ask him:
"It was an exercise. I gained valuable experience and data and learned lessons."
"..."
"Through this exercise, I have mastered the scale of birthday gifts, learned enough lessons from the traps that I cannot escape from, and have a deep understanding and reflection on my past work. I can avoid making previous mistakes again.
"I don't believe in Rana's bad ideas anymore!"
Griffith talked about a lot of things eloquently, making Galadia unable to continue. In the end, she was embarrassed. She lowered her head and looked at her shoes: "It's just a birthday gift. Don't do this. You can't delay your studies."
"Of course, there's just one problem."
"What's the problem?"
"Your birthday is on August 22nd. It was summer vacation at that time. Will you go back to Canaan?" Griffith asked the most concerning question.
"Yes~" Galadia's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded and said, "I may not be able to come back until school starts. This birthday is also my coming-of-age ceremony and must be celebrated in Canaan.
"But, hey, don't get excited, sit still, you can give me the gift in advance! If I feel bad, I can ask you to exchange it before my birthday!"
This is really the news Griffith least wants to hear. He asked subconsciously:
"Can't we see each other for two months?"
The elf's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she felt like she had been waiting for this: "About that. It might not be that long. We can go on summer inspections together in the first half of the summer vacation, right?"
"Aren't you going to Beyeland?" Griffith asked with a sad face.
"Where are you going?" Galadia looked at his depressed face, looking extremely happy, "Anyway, we can't see each other for a while. By the time I come back, school will have started!"
"Hey..." Griffith sighed heavily, feeling extremely heavy. The upcoming happy summer vacation suddenly turned gloomy.
"Actually, there's no need to worry," the elf girl said with satisfaction after having enough fun, having recovered all the places where Griffith's sudden attack had caught her off guard, "It's not completely impossible. In early August, I can invite Come to Canaan."
What? !
Griffith thought for a moment that he had heard wrong.
Canaan is the kingdom of God on earth, and any human entry needs to undergo substantial review. In theory, even a human king could be denied entry.
"I am the daughter of a consul. It is no problem to invite a human as a guest." Galadia was particularly satisfied with Griffith's expression just now and her gains today. "I will let Sidious give Count Larmore sent a letter, even if you are on a mission starting from August 10th, take a speedboat and enter the country on the 15th in the name of official travel, you can stay for no more than 14 days, and then return to school with me!"
This is really a dreamlike thing!
Griffith was so happy that he seemed to be in a dream. These are ten days of being alone with Galadia! If something doesn't happen, we'll be sorry to the gods in heaven, right? ?
Galadia then said happily: "In these few days, you must get along well with Sidious."
That's natural. I feel that Sidious is actually easy to get along with. I will call you when I encounter danger. Griffith nodded repeatedly.
"Let's walk around Canaan together." Miss Elf continued.
Yes, yes, this is it!
"You can visit and use the Great Library of Canaan."
Great, I want to find out the truth about Minos.
"Observe the proceedings of the Canaanite Senate and get to know the senators who are close to my family."
If you don't get what you want, you can't miss out on learning and growth.
"Have a meal or something with my dad and my tribe."
"..."
"I'm going to introduce you to him."
Ah, this. Griffith's face turned pale, and his heart beat like a marching drum. His face was sweating, and he said with difficulty: "Well, Lord Archon, maybe..."
"What could it be?" Galadia tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Could she beat you to death?"
Yes, that’s basically what it means. Griffith nodded reluctantly.
The daughter of the consul said seriously: "Why, do you still want to get away with it? The Villanoy family knows about you, and my mother and her Sylph elves also know about you. They know that you and I exterminated Goblin, Watchburg saved me, I fished you out of the Whispering Forest, and you still called my name on the battlefield. They probably didn't know about that time in the Black Realm.
"You are a human and I am an elf. We still live in the same place almost every day. This may be the case for the next three years. In fact, my family should have been consulted on such matters long ago."
What kind of thing is this? Griffith was terrified, almost to death. He stammered and asked:
"Should I prepare anything?"
Galadia looked at him, thought seriously for a while, and found that she didn't know the answer to this question either:
"How many more lives are you prepared for?"
