Chapter 336 Gift Search (2)

Rein was already happy, and the excitement on her face was even more than mine.

'Does she wanna watch me find all those hidden special things?

Well, from her perspective, it will definitely be fun but, that aside... what did mom hide for her to be that much confident when saying she would be better than others?

Considering that crazy nature of hers, and definitely knowing what she was capable of, the possibilities were endless.

I won't even be surprised if it is a divine artifact or something similar.'

I know she had worried about not being able to give me the best things in the past, and the sad look in her eyes is still fresh in my mind.

But things are different from back then.

I knew Rein couldn't feel the excitement and joy in this letter as well as I did. And everyone else would be the same.

The bond mom and I had was something too unique to be compared to even the bond dad and I have.

Dad is dad. Someone I will always want to look up to and learn everything I could from him.

He was awesome and he will become even more awesome and that much was a fact.

But the bond between mom and me... it was something too precious for me.

Her actions might be misunderstood by others many times but, that wasn't something they actually try to understand from her point of view.

Any mother in her place would want a normal life for her child. At least most would, from my point of view.

But she still did her best and allowed me to learn those dangerous things that the children my age just read and marvel about.

Well, in the first place, what would you even expect from a mere child who isn't even six years old?

My growth had been faster than others my age and just the fact that I was able to use the most basic magic at that young age was absurd.

It was comparable to the geniuses of the nation or the continent.

Like those transcendent beings that appear in fantasy novels.

She just wanted to protect me back then and her reason for restricting many things for me was better in the end.

I could never think negatively of her, even if the world was thinking otherwise.

And her actions after I came back had been far better than her past self.

Maybe she learned many things after Anna but, she was certainly the best mom for me from the start and will be in the future.

Anyway... Rein is excited, and from the looks of things, this first clue I have is written in grandmother's handwriting.

She had a unique way with words and I know I'm still lacking to write the things that I want to convey through words like this.

[ Warm wishes to my dear Axion for being able to survive for twelve years in this harsh world.

You have always been like the first rays of light that shine upon us, guiding us on our separate paths, waking up the asleep ones, and giving hope when feeling despair.

I have watched the ones around me praising the young you, I have watched the one's around me getting stronger without meeting you, and I have watched the growth of my family that might have been too different without you.

I have watched them having diverse emotions while just talking about you.

Happiness, envy, sadness, hope, positivity as well as negativity. I have watched all this, as well as felt that myself.

You are the most unique one in this family, despite everyone being a weird one themselves, and I know everyone would agree with me without a single thought.

I love you and thank you for returning to us. Returning to the family I love so dearly.

You protracted, just like you said. And you returned, just like you promised. For that, thanks again. ]

As I said, special.

She thanked me, which was unnecessary, and I know she actually meant everything from just these words.

She was amazing, with this letter, as well as the way she gave clues about the gift's location.

"Hmm... your grandma sure has great writing skills.

I see why every book said she was famous for her letters in her past days.

It's neat, pretty, gorgeous, shows feelings, and makes me feel the actual warmth of the writer.

It's amazing... but, where's the clue for your gift in this?"

She looked amused by looking at the letter but she still failed to understand the very simple things written in this.

This one just straight out told where the treasure is hidden... I mean where my gift is.

Looking at her a smiling warmly, I stored the two papers in my storage crack and moved to the eastern side of the estate.

It was the very end of the left side of the garden. A flower field of grandmother's favorite flowers, (Hues of the sky).

There was a statue of a holy maiden holding an overflowing water vase.

This was the place that grandmother loved the most in the whole of our garden as well as the first place where the rays of the morning sun touches our estate.

And just when looking at the other side, we can see the windows of most of our personal bedrooms where sunlight greeted us in the mornings.

First Anna, Carla, her mom and dad, my mom and dad, our grandparents, and then lastly mine, the terrace room.

Zoe's room wasn't here yet.

There was a long discussion on where her special room should be while she temporarily stayed with Anna and both of them just wanted to be together forever but... that was no option.

Mom insisted she would personally prepare the greatest special room for her just beside Anna's room so there were constructions going on beside Anna's room while the two of them temporarily used a different room on the first floor.

Anna's room was fine for playing and the tea party thing but, things continued for day and night so even with the absurd security of her room that included super high soundproofing, both of them slept together in a different room.

I knew mom was planning on making a door between those two rooms for them to actually be together but they would certainly get separate rooms.

Well, that wasn't the point right now...

"And you know this just from the words like first rays of light and house?"

"Hmm. If you read the letter carefully, you will know that she could have worded that thing a hundred times better but she went with the simple words.

Knowing her, this was more like going too easy on me or just outright telling me the answer.

So~ like my dear grandmother..."

There was a small box just under this statue behind the bushes.

There was a letter like the previous two ones and the box wasn't much big either.

It was a cubic box and unlike the normal boxes of jewelry, this one was surrounded by high enchantments, and the box itself was made of blue mithril, a magical metal that was super hard to find.

But, aside from the enchantments that might not be visible to normal eyes, the box was too ordinary looking.

A simple silver-blue box that I picked up from the ground and held in my hands.

A gift from a marchioness. Patriarch of one of the old families that had existed for hundreds of years. A blessed one that loves me dearly.

What would her gift be?

And what was this thing that she needed a special box like this one just to store it?

Like, this box had some of the highest levels of enchantments I could create and the thing it was made of was also specially used to store things that radiated high energy into the surroundings.

So... what was in this thing? Definitely not something any elder would give to a twelve-year-old, right?

Rein observed the box and was similarly confused, but, there was now an even bigger smile on her face.

This metallic box that had a smooth clean surface and shone with a blue hue looked spectacular.

Just the box was a good gift but, there was something inside this and she was excited just from thinking of possibilities of the things that might be there.

I was excited too. There was also as big of a smile as her on my face. My heart was beating calmly so I was alright but, even I wasn't expecting to see something of this level as my birthday present...
