It’s nearly autumn, but the summer heat still lingers in the day time.
I rode the donkey wagon to the Court Mage Division in this heat while wearing a hat, to avoid getting a heatstroke.
I’m delivering potions.
One day, Head Magician-sama heard that my potions were 50% more effective than regular potions and requested some for himself.
“Excuse me.”
I headed to Head Magician-sama’s office to deliver the potions, knocked on the door and then entered.
I’d entered because I received a reply from inside, but Head Magician-sama wasn’t here.
But, Intelligent Glasses-sama was.
Umm, I wonder if I can just give them to Intelligent Glasses-sama.
“I’m here to deliver the potions that Dreves-sama asked for,” Anyway, I told him why I was here from the entrance, and he nodded and told me where to put the potions, “Put them over there.”
The servant, who had come with me, put the crate in the designated place.
I gave him the delivery statement, and he confirmed whether the ordered amount and delivered amount was the same.
In the meantime, I looked around the office and sweat trickled down from my forehead to my chin.
The windows were opened, but there was no wind, so the room was hot.
But it still felt colder than outside because there was no sunlight.
Aah, I miss air-cons……
I thought as I wiped my sweat with a handkerchief and then Intelligent Glasses-sama suddenly looked at me.
I’m sweating, but he’s not sweating at all even though his robes look thicker than mine.
How does he stay cool in this heat?
“Aren’t you hot?” I don’t know whether it was because I was hot or if it was because I was blanking out. I blabbed the question that was on my mind.
I immediately regretted saying it, but he didn’t seem to mind and gave me an answer, “I’m not.”
“Really?”
“You’re not using any enchanted items?”
“Enchanted items, you say?”
Enchanted items?
Could it be that he’s wearing an enchanted item to stay cool?
I tilted my head in curiosity, and he removed his pendant.
The pendant had a simple design with a blue-grey stone on top.
He walked towards me with the pendant and gave it to me without saying anything.
I took it, and he said, “Wear it,” so I put it on.
What is this?
The heat I felt before disappeared as if I was imagining it and cold air drifted around my body.
What is this? Wow.
“This is amazing. I became cool just by wearing it.”
“That’s good.”
It was like I was in a nice air-conditioned room the moment I put it on, and my discomfort disappeared at once.
I was surprised by the effect, and Intelligent Glasses-sama smiled as he watched me.
“You can keep it if you want.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
According to him, he could cool his body without any items because he has an aptitude for ice magic.
Apparently, he’d only used this item because the effects could be activated without him having to think about, so it wasn’t a hassle.
In that case, wouldn’t it become a hassle again if I take it? But, he signed the delivery statement and gave it back to me as if saying there was no use in arguing.
Is it alright for me to receive something this expensive in the first place?
I thought, but he had already returned to his paperwork because we were done and I lost to the temptation of the cool temperature; so I returned to the research institute.
“Mm? What’s with that pendant?” Director noticed my pendant when I came back to the research institute and was wearing something I hadn’t been wearing when I left.
“I got it from Deputy Head Magician, Hawk-sama.”
“What?”
I explained to the surprised Director what had happened, and his eyes widened in surprise.
I had been surprised that Intelligent Glasses-sama had given me such an expensive magic enchanted item, but Director was astonished.
Is it really that surprising?
I don’t think it is.
Anyway, I can feel cool for the rest of the summer thanks to the pendant I’d received from him.
I’ll send him something as a thank you present next time.
I thought and left Director who had frozen and returned to work.
