Chapter 4 Happy birthday! I am a gift!

“Mura, what should I do with the noble lady’s birthday party and gifts?” Griffith tapped the table and whispered to Murat, who was reviewing for the exam.

“Simple, extra-large cake, teddy bear, and overwhelming heart-shaped paper fireworks at the birthday party.”

 Hell, why did I forget that this guy's fiancée was only twelve years old? This experience is meaningless at all. Griffith turned his head bitterly and asked for help from others.

 “Media, how should I prepare a birthday gift for a girl?”

Midianmaia thought for a while and said proudly: "You have asked the right person about this. A piece of Sequence 7 Extraordinary properties, preferably with blood on it, bring two bottles of wine and the story of your victory in the battle, call

Everyone, prepare a table of barbecue."

Ophelia nodded deeply at the side, snapped her fingers to Midianmaiya, "Six bottles!"

   …”

 It’s my fault, it’s my fault! I shouldn’t ask these weirdos. Griffith raised his forehead.

 I have to ask someone who is normal, rational, has a similar environment and thoughts to me for reference!

 Lana next to Griffith Lara, this guy was lowering his head to review to avoid failing the exam. Griffith asked: "Lana, how should we prepare a gift for the countess's birthday?"

The tall hussar glanced at his classmate. Although Lana was powerful and fierce, he was one of the few learned men in Shutoral. Soon, he understood what Griffith was asking:

“Everyone’s situation is different and cannot be generalized.

“I recommend you a way. First, prepare a lot of flowers and a bottle of wine.”

Hmm, this start sounds pretty good, as expected of Rana! Griffith nodded seriously.

 “Then prepare a big cardboard box and red satin.”

 What are you preparing these things for...

 “Get yourself cleaned up, put on your most beautiful uniform, and wear your medals,”

 You don’t need to say this...

Lana looked at Griffith with sincere eyes and said seriously: "Then tie yourself a bow with satin, jump into the box, bring wine and flowers, and close the box. Ah, by the way! Leave a note on the outside of the box.

, it says Happy Birthday! I am a gift!”

 …

  June 20, 1444, Second Age.

 Sonia finished a whole day of exams and returned to the dormitory exhausted.

Griffith and everyone booked a grand dinner for her in the best private restaurant on campus and invited everyone to attend. Fiona looked sneaky and did not appear in the room as if she was plotting something with Griffith.

.

Sonia took off her shoes, lay on the bed, and swayed with her slippers on her smooth little feet.

 I didn’t expect Griffith to be so attentive. I’m so happy. This is my first time to spend my birthday away from home. I was still a little lonely at first, but now I feel so happy!

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a particularly large box in the corner of the dormitory. It had cute pink stickers on it and was hastily wrapped in red satin.

“What is this?” Sonia took off her coat and walked over to look at the big box. There was a note on the outside of the box with a line of words written on it:

 “Happy birthday! I am a gift!”

 This is Griffith's handwriting. What a big gift! He only earns 300 silver francs a month. It is wrong to spend money so lavishly. I will criticize him later.

 But, I’m so happy! I’ve never received such a big gift! The pony my dad gave me doesn’t count, eh.

Sonia took off her underwear and hurriedly put on a party dress. Without a maid, she had to do all these things herself, but it was not easy at all.

She was busy dressing up, and the dinner was about to start. Unlike Galadia and Fiona, who had long straight hair, her long blond hair had always been carefully combed and coiled up like young leaves and buds.

If you are not careful, a strand of blond hair will hang down and become untidy.

 As the protagonist of the party, she didn't have enough time to dress up.

Sonia combed her hair quickly and glanced at the big box in the corner from time to time.

I really want to open it now and take a look. The gift from Griffith must be different! He is very good at learning from other people's experiences and has his own ideas.

 But there is no time, the dinner will start soon, everyone is waiting for me! Such a big gift will be opened later.

Sonia looked in the mirror and made sure her hair was combed. She quickly changed into her skirt, put on her high heels, picked up her skirt and ran out.

 …

The party was really great, with pink paper fireworks scattered everywhere. The cake was so big and tall that one could give a piece to the whole grade.

And it was delicious. Griffith must have tried several styles before choosing one. Sonia was very happy. She received many gifts and had a lot of fun with everyone.

The strange thing is that Griffith didn't show up until everyone shared the cake. This is definitely a problem, even if the world is about to be destroyed, he will not miss this!

"Has anyone seen where Griffith is?" Galadia, who was dressed up, stood for a long time holding a large piece of cake left for Griffith. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore and asked everyone, "

I'm curious about what birthday gift he will give him, hmm."

 “That’s where he went!”

 “How can this piece of wood be late today!”

Midianmaia, who had had a few too many drinks, shouted: "Don't criticize Griffith. His gift is very good. He is wearing a full cavalry uniform and a medal. The gift is a Sequence Seven 'Wizard' extraordinary characteristic captured in the battle."

Gems, on velvet!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ophelia gave him a kick.

 “Why are you like this! Leaking secrets is bad!” Some people who knew about Griffith’s plan began to criticize Medianmeier.

Sonia's eyes shone, she was so happy. Her knight gave precious battle capture as a gift at the birthday party, which was also the crystallization of precious spellcaster's characteristics. What could be more meaningful, more honorable, and more beautiful than this?

A precious, more perfect gift? This gift and heart simply need a kiss from the countess to put it into place.

Galadia curled her lips in disappointment. She also felt that this gift was good, but it was not for herself.

"It's just~" Sonia suddenly remembered something, "I saw a big box in the room. It was very big. It was a gift from Griffith. Extraordinary properties do not require such a big box."

 The whole place was quiet...

Fiona held her forehead and almost fainted to the ground. After a while, she said with difficulty: "Griffith and I moved that box in together."

 “So where is Griffith?” Sonia asked without thinking.

 “Griffith is in the box.”

 …

 The exam was finally over, but Griffiths was not in a relaxed mood at all.

Galadia's birthday was coming in two months, and he had to prepare in advance. The only creativity he had was used on Sonia's birthday, which could make the classmates laugh for half a year. He had to come up with a better one.

To Miss Elf.

 Ah, it’s so difficult! I don’t have a clue at all.

 Griffith scratched his head and found that he could not find the answer. He could only change his mind and think of something else.

What is the Deathrattle Order planning? The known information is that they used Raven's large amount of life and spiritual energy to create something, and they must have their next plan. Griffith has a feeling that in the near future, he will also

Will encounter them again.

 While he was thinking, he recorded the time and summary of the incident on paper, sorting out the causes and consequences.

At this time, there was a charming fragrance of roses appearing behind him and peeking over his shoulders.

"What are you thinking about?" Galadia almost put her chin on his shoulder, looked at him, and then at the messy records on the paper.

"I'm thinking."

 “What are you thinking about?”

 “Think about your birthday gift and some other things.” Griffith raised his quill, used the feather to tickle the tip of Miss Elf’s nose, and pushed her to a chair aside.

“Why do you have to write down a timeline and events when you’re thinking about a birthday gift?” Galadia looked at him holding a thick book. “You were obviously thinking about other things, but you dared to fool me. Hmph!”

 “I thought about your birthday first, and then I thought about other things.”

“Well,” the elf curled his lips and looked at him, “the gift you gave Sonia was really thoughtful!”

   …”

 I knew this would happen! Griffith's whole body was on guard. But he had already been prepared. He had already known that the girl would ask him:

“It was an exercise. I accumulated valuable experience and data, and also learned lessons.”

   …”

“Through this exercise, I have mastered the scale of birthday gifts, learned enough lessons from the traps that I cannot escape from, and have a deep understanding and reflection on my past work. I can avoid making previous mistakes again.

 “I don’t believe in Rana’s bad ideas anymore!”

Griffith talked about a lot of things so eloquently that Galadia couldn't continue to listen. In the end, she was embarrassed, lowered her head and looked at her shoes: "It's just a birthday present.

, don’t be like this, you can’t delay your studies.”

 “Of course, there’s just one problem.”

"What's the problem?"

“Your birthday is on August 22nd, and it is summer vacation at that time. Will you go back to Canaan?” Griffith raised the most concerning question.

"Yes~" Galadia's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded and said, "I may not be able to come back until school starts. This birthday is also my coming-of-age ceremony and I must spend it in Canaan.

“But, hey, don’t get excited, sit still, you can give me the gift in advance! If I feel bad, I can ask you to exchange it before my birthday!”

This is really the news that Griffith least wants to hear. He subconsciously asked:

 “Can’t we see each other for two months?”

The elf's eyes lit up after hearing this. She felt like she had been waiting for this: "About that. It might not be that long. We can go on summer inspections together in the first half of the summer vacation, right?"

 “Aren’t you going to Byerland?” Griffith asked with a sad face.

"Where are you going for?" Galadia looked at his depressed face, looking extremely happy, "Anyway, we can't see each other for a while. By the time I come back, school will have started!"

"Hey..." Griffith sighed heavily, feeling extremely heavy. The upcoming happy summer vacation instantly turned gloomy.

"Actually, there's no need to worry," the elf girl said with satisfaction after having enough fun, having recovered all the places where Griffith's sudden attack had caught her off guard, "It's not completely impossible. At the beginning of August, I can invite

Come to Canaan."

What?!

Griffith thought for a moment that he had heard wrong.

 Canaan is the kingdom of God on earth, and any human entry needs to go through substantive review. Theoretically, even human kings may be refused entry.

"I am the daughter of a consul. It is no problem to invite a human as a guest." Galadia was particularly satisfied with Griffith's expression just now and her gains today. "I will let Sidious give

Count Larmore sent a letter, starting from August 10th, even if you are on a mission, take a speedboat and enter the country on the 15th in the name of official travel, you can stay for no more than 14 days, and then return to school with me!"

This is really a dreamlike thing!

 Griffith was so happy that he felt like he was in a dream. These were ten days of being alone with Galadia! If something didn't happen, he would be sorry to the gods in the sky, wouldn't he?

Galadia then said happily: "In these few days, you must get along well with Sidious."

That's natural. I feel that Sidious is actually easy to get along with. I will call you when I encounter danger. Griffith nodded repeatedly.

 “Let’s walk around Canaan together.” Miss Elf continued.

 Yes, yes, that’s it!

“You can visit and use the Great Library of Canaan.”

 Great, I want to find out the truth about Minos.

 “Attend the proceedings of the Canaanite Senate and get to know the senators who are close to my family.”

 You can't get what you want, and you can't miss out on learning and growth.

 “Let’s have a meal or something with my dad and my people.”

   …”

 “I want to introduce you to him.”

  Ah, this. Griffith's face turned pale, his heart beat like a marching drum, his face was sweating, and he said with difficulty: "Well, Lord Archon, maybe..."

"What could it be?" Galadia tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, "Maybe I could beat you to death?"

 Yes, that’s basically what it means. Griffith nodded reluctantly.

The daughter of the consul said seriously: "Why, do you still want to get away with it? The Villanoy family knows about you, and my mother and her Sylph elves also know about you. They know that you and I exterminated

Goblin, Fort Watch saved me, I fished you out of the Whispering Forest, and you still called my name on the battlefield. They probably didn't know about that time in the Black Realm.

“You are a human and I am an elf. We still live in the same place almost every day. This may be the case for the next three years. In fact, my family should have been consulted on such matters long ago.”

 What kind of thing is this? Griffith was so frightened that he was almost scared to death. He stammered and asked:

 “Should I prepare anything?”

Galadia looked at him, thought seriously for a while, and found that she didn’t know the answer to this question either:

 “How many more lives should I prepare?”
