At the flower bed in the square.
Stark sat on the ground, his head lowered.
He looked somewhat dejected.
"I..."
Stark sighed.
He wanted to say something, but finally pursed his lips and remained silent.
He just gently pushed aside the sleeve of his left hand and stared blankly at the bracelet Fern had given him.
Perhaps I was really wrong...
Stark thought silently, his nose feeling slightly sore and swollen.
His eyes were also slightly warm.
Fern had never been so angry before.
He shouldn't have yelled at Fern either...
"Stark..."
What Stark didn't notice was that on the side of the square.
A purple figure watched him silently for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
"What should I say..."
Fern lowered her eyes and brows.
She was a little at a loss.
It wasn't until she saw a figure with golden hair at the market nearby.
That Fern slowly walked over.
"Speaking of which, it seems like she doesn't even have a bag yet..."
Sein held a small leather bag with a butterfly clasp in his hand and muttered.
Fern quietly came up behind him, without saying a word.
"I wonder if she'll like this style."
"This bag is quite cute."
Fern hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke.
Sein suddenly turned around and saw Fern standing behind him.
"Huh?"
Sein had a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He hadn't noticed Fern approaching at all!
But Fern didn't say anything more, just simply pursed her lips.
Seeing her appearance of wanting to speak but hesitating, Sein put the question that had just popped into his mind aside and smiled slightly.
"You don't like it?"
Sein stood up and handed the bag to Fern.
To make it easy for Fern to see.
"No, I just don't like you very much."
Fern pouted and turned her head slightly.
What kind of outrageous statement is this!
Sein furrowed his brow slightly.
"Because you act like you understand women very well, which makes me very unhappy."
Fern took a breath and added softly.
Only then did Sein smile slightly and, relieved, handed the bag to the Boss.
"In that case, it's okay."
Sein took the bag the Boss handed back, paid, and then handed the bag to Fern and slowly spoke.
"Did you find Stark?"
"He's in the square."
Fern answered almost without thinking, very quickly.
This scene made Sein's mouth curve upwards uncontrollably.
He guessed correctly, she really came to find him because of that kid.
"Didn't you talk to him..."
Sein probed a little.
After seeing that Fern didn't speak, he also made a rough judgment.
The young couple had a fight, and they were too embarrassed to back down!
It's a bit troublesome...
Annoyed in his heart, Sein, however, showed a gentle smile.
"Actually, you're not really angry with him, are you?"
Sein looked at Fern, who was slightly drawn in by Sein's words, and her purple eyes opened slightly.
Obviously, that was correct.
Instead, Fern was anticipating Sein's next words.
"You just don't know how to get along with boys your age..."
"After all, Stark is not me, and even less Yulian."
"Mm..."
Fern nodded slightly almost imperceptibly.
"Go find him, just clarify things if there's anything."
"He's probably thinking of coming to find you too."
Sein smiled slightly and was about to pat Fern's head.
But remembering that he had been stomped hard by Fern at the inn before for saying the wrong thing, he gave up with an awkward smile.
"Go, go have a good talk with him."
"He's not someone as sensitive as you, so even if he says a few wrong things, it's forgivable, right?"
After an awkward smile, Sein resumed a serious expression as he spoke.
"But..."
Fern pursed her lips.
"Don't mind the little kid, okay?"
Sein gently patted Fern's shoulder, waved, and left.
"Mm."
"Thank you."
Fern took a deep breath, bowed slightly towards Sein, and then walked towards the square.
"Fern..."
The crowd dispersed again.
It was already nearing sunset.
Stark stood in the square, looking emo (down) under Himmel's statue.
"Step, step--"
Familiar footsteps sounded.
Stark immediately turned his head quickly to look at the person approaching.
But after Stark clearly saw the appearance of the person approaching, he quickly glanced his head away to the side again.
"Stark..."
Fern's face showed some hesitation and conflict.
The soft call, however, made Stark suddenly tremble.
"I'm sorry!"
Stark faced Fern, his head lowered.
"Actually, I wanted to go choose the gift with you, "Because I didn't know what you liked..."
"But..."
Stark raised his head, closed his eyes, holding back tears at the corners, and scratched his head sheepishly.
"I thought if I said that, you wouldn't want to."
"So in the end, I didn't say it..."
Looking at Fern who was quietly listening to him speak, Stark lowered his head again.
"I'm sorry..."
"I wouldn't have been unwilling."
Seeing that Stark had finished speaking, Fern's face showed a gentle smile.
Then, after a very soft "Because it's Mister Stark."
Fern then solemnly bowed slightly to Stark again.
"It should be me who says sorry."
"I'm sorry, Mister Stark..."
"What I said was too much!"
"Hey..."
Stark smiled slightly.
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
Used to it...
This single phrase "used to it" made Fern feel even more guilty.
"I am truly very sorry!"
Fern lowered her head and said seriously again.
Seeing this, Stark just smiled slightly and then waved his hand.
"It's getting late, let's go!"
"Let's go choose the gift you like together!"
"Okay!"
After Fern nodded, she jogged over to Stark's side.
Their figures were also stretched long by the setting sun, and then disappeared around the street corner.
"That's great."
On the rooftop, Yulian relaxed his body with a sense of relief.
Frieren just smiled slightly with pursed lips and didn't speak.
"It seems they made up successfully."
In a corner of the rooftop, the man with golden hair slowly climbed up and looked at the two of them, smiling.
The person who came was naturally Sein.
"Oh! So you were also peeking."
Yulian turned his head and looked at Sein, who was naturally sitting next to him, his mouth slightly open.
"Frieren knew, didn't you notice?"
"Haha."
Sein smiled and patted Yulian's shoulder.
He felt the satisfaction of having a great revenge achieved.
Because Yulian's current expression was very similar to the confused feeling he had when Fern suddenly approached him at that time.
"Frieren knew, why didn't she say anything earlier..."
Yulian pouted helplessly.
His magic power was basically 100% restricted by himself, and his magic sensing was also almost completely restricted.
It would be weird if he could sense Sein in this state!
"Secret!"
Frieren smiled slightly, just resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the square.
At Himmel's statue bathed in the setting sun.
