[FGO] Stone is a bad civilization

Looking at this pen, I subconsciously wanted to reject it.

"It's been used for ten years...it's too expensive, I can't accept it." I picked up the pen and wanted to return it to the other party.

"Besides, I'm a member of the master, so there's no need to give me a special gift..."

"No, no, it's not just because of this incident," Romani waved his hand quickly, "A lot of accidents really happened during this period, so..."

He paused for a moment, and changed the subject in a rascally way: "In short, you use this pen very well, don't you? It's not a very expensive thing, I just hope you can accept the meaning attached to it."

"...Is it an entry gift?"

"It's 'new beginnings,'" Romani explained.

"This pen was given to me by a friend when I first entered Chaldea. Working and studying here is the beginning of a new life for me, so I choose to give it to you. I also hope that you can completely leave behind the unhappiness of the past, and then move on unwaveringly."

Is it a new start?

Indeed, starting from Singularity-F, the accidents I have encountered have never stopped, from the initial serious injury, receiving the bad news of the death of the director, to the recent relapse of anxiety caused by work pressure... this series Things were completely unimaginable to me as an ordinary clock tower apprentice in the past. Fortunately, I survived these events that can be called tribulations, and finally, with a brand new look, I stood on this ascent The starting point of the trend.

I rubbed the pen a few times, it is no longer brand new, and the varnish on the corners is also a little worn, but the old appearance does not affect the function of the pen itself, even because the previous owner has been using it continuously for ten years. For writing, its nib has been polished to the point where it can be called smooth.

This pen embodies ten years of Romani's life from his new beginnings to the present, and now he has passed it on to me.

"It's not so much a gift for celebration, it's more like a reward for you." Romani continued.

"Reward?" I don't know why.

"Yeah," he said, "During this period of time, you have also worked hard to overcome many shortcomings in the past, haven't you? This is a reward for you."

"...that's true," I laughed dumbfounded.

"Okay, then I'll accept it, thank you very much."

I rubbed the pen a few more times before putting it away properly.

"Then what," I called to Romani who was about to leave, "Suddenly used the thing I've used for so long... let's say it's a personal thing, you must be not used to it when you give it to me, right? Once you are used to the weight of the pen, it may be difficult to adapt to the normal black fountain pen."

"Ah, it's all right..."

I interrupted him: "I'll give you something too, as a thank you for the care you've been taking for a while."

I took Romani to my magic workshop.

It is said to be a magic workshop, but in fact it is just an abandoned warehouse that no one uses on weekdays. Because few people care about it and it is located in a very remote corner, I applied to the director for the right to use this room. Come to the other party for some gadgets that I have researched in my daily life.

Although I majored in the Spirituality major when I was in the Clock Tower, in fact I should be better at alchemy and enchantment. These two magics can be trained without relying on my own magician quality, They are the unique skills passed down from both my parents, so as I have inherited the aptitudes of both of them, my mastery of these two kinds of magic far exceeds that of the spiritual seance that I learned the day after tomorrow.

So what kind of evil did I fall into at that time, so I signed up for the magic subject that is the least compatible with me...

I squatted in the pile of debris and shook my head, clearing these memories out of my brain, and turned my attention to finding the magic artifact I wanted to give as a "gift in return".

Because the magic workshop is very small and I have piled up a lot of things, there is only an aisle for one person to walk in. Now that I have rummaged in it, Romani can only stand at the door with staring eyes.

"It's the first time I know there is such a place in Chaldea." He tiptoed to look into the room, and was caught off guard by the dust that hit his face and made him sneeze.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't been here for a long time to tidy up things here, and I may have accumulated a lot of dust." I waved my hand to make him step back a little, and continued to pile high boxes in the room with a small flashlight between looking for.

"Ah, I found it... so I put it in there."

I leaned down and pulled out the small box that was almost pressed on the lowest level, which unsurprisingly caused a small collapse accident. I was choked by a large piece of dust that suddenly fell, squinting my eyes When retreating quickly, I couldn't help but sneezed several times.

"Okay, this is it." I wiped the dust off the edge of the small box with my hand, handed it to Romani, and explained, "These two pens themselves are very high-end brands, and I added a little The small magic effect...it shouldn’t be worse than the one you gave me.”

They were a pair of custom-made pens, one black and one silver, the black one was inlaid with gold, and the silver was inlaid with diamonds. Although the box in which they were stored was a bit worn out, the two pens were still brand new after being well protected in the velvet pad.

Romani looked surprised as he held the box.

"Is this a couple's pen? It's too kind to give this to me..." When he said this, the expression on his face was a bit complicated.

"Ah, this..." I also suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Actually, this, this has been transformed into a product of alchemy by me..."

"As long as you input magic power into the gemstone at the tip of the pen, the words written by the black pen will appear on the silver pen. It was originally designed as a communication device, but there seems to be something wrong with the alchemy array. The original two-way transmission turned into one-way in the end... But it's okay, anyway, Romani, you are just an ordinary person, just use it as an ordinary pen, this is a brand new, unwritten gold pen, so You can freely shape the wear of the nib according to your own writing strength."

"So that's the case." Romani understood.

"Yes," I added, "because it's the easiest type of nib to write on, so it should be easy to use. The black one is for men. It weighs about the same as the one you gave me. I think you can use it. Probably won’t feel too much disobedience.”

Romani took out the black pen, looked at it carefully for a while, and sighed: "It is really a very exquisite work of art. Of course, it is also very considerate as a gift."

"It's not really caring," I scratched my cheek in embarrassment, and my eyes fell on the silver pen that hadn't been taken out.

"By the way," I suddenly thought of something, "Although this pair of pens actually failed as a two-way communication device, but well... I actually wanted to give it as a more romantic gift at first."

Romani was about to put the black pen in his hand back into the box, when he heard this, his face suddenly became a little nervous.

"A more romantic gift?" he asked me a little cautiously.

"Well," I nodded, "the channel for the suitor to show his love to the pursued one-sidedly, as long as he writes with a black pen, the silver pen will automatically convey the other party's thoughts... It's very interesting to think about it this way Right? I wanted to keep it for myself, but... Well, I feel that Romani is more suitable for chasing little girls with such a secret and romantic way of showing love..."

I took a meaningful glance at Romani, who suddenly blushed, and teased him with some evil intentions: "After all, you like magic☆Merry, so you must be good at writing letters, right?"

"What kind of reason is this?" After hearing this, Romani's hand holding the pen case began to tremble.

He stammered and defended himself: "Mei Li is a virtual idol, so of course she needs to communicate in words, but that doesn't mean I like to use writing to chase girls..."

Romani's cheeks were almost flushed to the point of burning. He was holding a small box in both hands, neither taking it nor throwing it. The whole person just stood there at a loss, and his forehead was about to shed cold sweat.

I couldn't help laughing at his blushing and thick-necked appearance.

"My intuition tells me..." I deliberately prolonged my tone, and slowly spit out the ridicule sentence by word.

"Romani should be very suitable for the old-fashioned way of expressing love like writing a love letter, and if the other party is also a girl from the scholar department, maybe she will understand your "Song of Solomon"-style love? Hahaha..."

"That's why I said I'm not, I'm not..." Romani covered his face in embarrassment, and seemed ashamed as if he wanted to go underground.

"Don't talk nonsense, Xuejian..." he begged.

"Yeah, I know..." I patted him on the shoulder with a suppressed smile, "There is no input magic power in this pair of pens, so it's just an ordinary pen now, if you really plan to use it for confession, welcome Come to me to debug."

"Wow, I wouldn't use such a method..." Romani wailed for a long time, and actually curled up and squatted down. I stood there looking at him in surprise, and found that his ears were covered behind bangs. Tips are blushing.

Why is the uncle who is about 30 years old still so cute... I looked at Romani who was curled up, and suddenly felt that what I was facing was not an adult man at all, but a shy cowardly rabbit.

When you teased him before, you wouldn't have such a violent reaction. Has this guy come back as he lives?Or should we lament that thirty-way virginity is terrible?

When I couldn't help but squatted down with me and rubbed the other person's hair to show comfort, I thought of this in my heart:

To think he is cute, Aiba Xue saw that you were hopeless.
