Chapter 14
The Proof of Eternal Vow
On a certain day in April.
“It’s a little depressing having two men shop for rings in Ginza”
Toujou Basara can hear Takigawa by his side complain as the two of them wait at a crosswalk.
The two of them are in a first-class neighborhood in the center of town.
At this most luxurious crosswalk of Japan,
“Don’t say that. The number of people who know about me and the girls are limited. And I don’t have a girl to accompany me to shop.”
“I think Sheila-dono or Lucia-dono would be more than happy to help. If you had told them, they would rush over from the demon realm to here”
“I have gotten plenty from them… I don’t want to impose ring shopping on them too”
Besides, says Basara.
“With how we’ve tied the vow, we will be together for life… It’s a ring for that purpose. I would be troubled if they add in some “charm” or “arousal” effect into it”
“That’s true… If it’s those two, they’d consider you and add that kind of effect into it”
“That’s why. I decided not to ask them”
“And so, the ball is in my court huh… Damn”
“Don’t grumble so much about it. Because of you, I was able to finish my shopping. I owe you one, Takigawa.”
“That’s fine. Anyways, where are we going now?”
“A sushi shop I’ve booked. We talked about it before, right?”
“Really… I thought you wouldn’t go for it. That shop is hard to get into, right? You would need someone with inside connections.”
“My old man worked for them as a photographer before. The boss liked my old man’s work, so they gave a special number for reservations”
“He’s so strong he’s known as a war god, but he’s also a top-class photographer… He seriously seems like a monster”
As Takigawa speaks, the light turns green and they begin to walk.
“Well, since you’ve gotten it, I’d take it gratefully. You had the shops in mind, so I’m glad we could get it done without walking around too much. When will the rings be finished?”
“In about a month. They’re simple in design, so all the sizes should be available in their storage”
The reason why they can’t just buy it is because they have engraving on it.
Even if it’s a ready-made ring, it'll make it one of a kind.
“As it is, it seems like there’s a lot of weddings in June, so they have a lot of orders around this period”
“I see…”
Takigawa says softly, understanding.
“—By the way, how many rings did you buy?”
He grins cheekily as he asks the question, and in exchange Basara smiles softly.
And then –he says, in an almost prideful way.
“…Well, I wonder how many rings it would be?”
