I completed the accessories that Nancy’s mom and Ringo designed with difficulty.
When I looked at the three accessories, they’re quite amazingly made.
The delightful faces of Nancy and Megumi-chan, who will receive these accessories that Ringo designed, seem to come into my mind.
Nancy’s mom? I guess so, but only this time.
***
The next day, on the way home from work; I contacted Ringo at once and together, we went to show the accessories to Nancy and her mom.
「Seiji, Ringo, welcome.」
「Welcome.」
Nancy and her mom greeted us.
Nancy’s mom seemed to have been waiting impatiently for the completion of the accessories, too.
The president and Megumi-chan came immediately afterwards, too.
「Well then, with everyone gathered in place-」
I took out three wooden-box-like things, lined them up on the table, and then, opened their respective lid.
「Fuwaaa!!」
Ringo raised a voice of admiration at the very beginning.
Ringo examined the accessories inside the wooden boxes that became empty one-by-one while breathing heavily with *haa haa*; finally, she lined up the three accessories and looked at them in a trance.
I completed them with so much difficulty, I’m so glad that Ringo seemed to be pleased.
However, Ringo’s eyes gradually lost their focus and she collapsed towards me unsteadily.
「Ringo, what happened? Are you alright?」
「I…I don’t, feel t-, too well.
I’m, glad, glad……」
Although you are delighted with the result of the accessories……
Is it the joy of making something? Or you are greatly moved that such emotion pierced through?
「My designed accessories…are so beautiful……
I…can’t take it……anymore……」
While Ringo, who was in my arms, was staring at me,
she showed an ecstatic expression, her body convulsed with *bikun bikun* and then fainted.
This-, will she be alright?
Nancy receives the blue necklace and is frolicking too much.
Megumi-chan is entranced, she has the president to attach the pink brooch.
And speaking of Nancy’s mom……
Hm? Nancy’s mom hasn’t moved since a while ago.
What seems to be the matter?
「A lie……
it’s a lie……
such accessories are impossible……」
Nancy’s mom mutters *butsu butsu* while trembling all over with *wana wana*.
「Mama-san, what happened?」
「It’s impossible……」
Umu, as expected, did I go a little too far?
Ringo, Nancy and Megumi-chan’s delighted expressions that I wanted to see, are slightly too enthusiastic right now, aren’t they~?
But, I don’t regret it. (Kiri-![1])
From there, Nancy’s mom began to talk like a machine gun.
「To begin with, it’s impossible to complete them in such a short period of time no matter how I think about it!
And then, this metal. What’s this? Silver?? No, it’s different; Silver doesn’t have a strength like this. Besides, its radiance is more beautiful than silver. What’s this metal, really!!!?
Then, this jewel. It should be the『Nullpo Stone』that I gave you.
Although it was beautiful, that stone was difficult to process; it should’ve been something troublesome to deal with! However, just right after yesterday……」
Then why did you let me use such a thing!?
「And then, this design……
I was considerably drunk during that time……
it can’t be, such design……」
It’s a lie……
You didn’t design it properly!?
「It’s a lie……
Lie, lie……
……there’s no such disgrace!
……why……am……
I captivated with the accessories that another person made!!?
A-, Annoying……
b-, but……」
And then, Nancy’s mom doesn’t care about the public attention……
