Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer-Chapter 332 Anna’s Gift~!

I couldn't believe my eyes as soon as I saw the thing as soon as I opened her gift.

I... couldn't.

My eyes must be playing tricks on me.

'Y-yes! That's the only way to explain this... this...'

This thing that we all saw as soon as the box opened was something none of us had expected.

Well, I did think about something like this but, this... this...

This was far beyond my expectations.

This was just... adorable~!

I even checked and rubbed my eyes a few times to check if the eyes that had seen far more than reality were working properly right now.

This was just that amazing...

I looked at this adorable angel who was standing on the dining table, looking down on all of us, her head held high and with a cute, proud expression.

I looked at her; she met my eyes, and I pointed at the heavenly treasure in this box.

She understood what I was asking and nodded with confidence.

Just this one bright smile and joyous nod were enough to shake every one of us.

Just like how I was shockingly looking at her, all of them were also looking at this box.

They might have thought that their gifts are the best in this gift competition of theirs and even while knowing just how much adored this little girl and that her gift would undeniably be the best in my eyes, they still had hope.

Anna was a little girl. She might be my favorite, but the gifts were far different things.

If they could just prepare something better than this little girl, then the competition was just among the big ones.

But this gift, the gift in this little insignificant box that was just a thirty-centimeter long twenty centimeter wide flat rectangular box, was something that far shattered their expectations and view of this little girl.

They had only seen Anna as a young little girl who was although special and gifted, had no current special talents.

But they were wrong...

Not many knew this, even in our estate, but Anna liked drawing, painting, and embroidery.

I had only heard about that and seen some small pieces that she made for fun, but they sure were good.

She also made some of her dolls and made designs on them with her own hand.

The dolls in her room all looked amazing, so good that no one would even think that they were remodeled by this little girl.

So, I knew she was just... amazing.

But the work on those dolls and this... this piece was far beyond professionals.

This one was just... marvelous!

There was a pink handkerchief in this pink box…

Made of think and good quality material, covered with a rich golden color paint print pattern, which was covered with a silver thread embroidery on the inside and borders of this pattern, and at last, a marvelous looking red heart made of A to Z.

The golden pattern on the pink surface looked pale but enchantingly beautiful.

They looked printed at first glance, but when looked closely, you can see the impeccable details of every brush stroke that was so perfectly made it looked just like machine work.

This permanent golden paint was a special and rare product. A costly one too, from what I know.

Not that getting it would be anything difficult when you have a mom like ours.

It was a special magic painting that didn't fade or get destroyed after a few moments of its application.

The silver threads used in it were also similar to this gold paint. A special thread only used in super high-quality clothing for perfect finishings.

The red thread of the heart and all A to Z letters was a normal high-quality thread, but the way they were made... there was no way even I could do something like this with one try.

I don't know if she came up with the whole thing herself, but this special handkerchief was something she made with her own little hands.

Materials were no big deal for her. She can ask any maid or butler and she would get even high-level artifacts.

But this is definitely something she herself made.

I could feel this from every stroke of the golden paint, every thread of this embroidery, as well as this wonderful design and concept.

There was a meaning behind this A to Z that this red heart was made of.

Something that this little one definitely didn't come up with on her own.

'Zoe... really, you two...'

I had the best sisters that I might actually not be deserving of.

Anna used a pink base because, well, it's her favorite color, so she just liked that as a base.

The golden color of the designs resembled my hair. Maybe some light strokes resembled grandpa and mom's hair color too.

The silver used with gold was the perfect color to go with the golden.

'And lastly, that red heart made with alphabets…'

Name… Something one is identified with. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

And if there's a name, there would be initials for that name, right?

Whatever language, when understanding it in the main basic language of oneself, we would start these names with A to Z.

And making the heart with that very A to Z without leaving anyone...

'I interpret it as keeping everyone and everything I experience in my life close to my heart or in my heart.'

Everything in life teaches us something and even though we would naturally forget most of the things, when we are living that moment, we should keep those things in our hearts, or something like that.

Well, it was deeper than just this much but, Anna didn't know.

This idea was amazing, and she made it as the finishing touch of this already marvelous gift.

Anna made this one. For me. For no one but me.

Not everyone knew about Anna's innate talents and she was the main child everyone can freely play with.

She mostly doesn't do things that are too difficult even though she can do them better than professionals.

She had never made anything, especially for anyone.

She knew how to do things, but she had never actually given many gifts, even on the birthdays she had consciously witnessed.

She was no reincarnation like me.

She was just a six-year-old child with immense, innate talent and potential.

But… she was just a six-year-old kid.

And this was her first handmade gift ever...

My gift.

No one would believe Anna made this. The same six-year-old girl that everyone loved with their whole heart.

But she definitely made this one herself. And this is marvelous~!

I took the handkerchief out from the box with shaking hands and everyone still had their eyes glued to this one.

There was no way we can actually look away from this one.

This was just that amazing.

The feel this handkerchief had was just divine~.

This was just that amazing. Something I never wanted to change from its current appearance.

This was my first-ever gift from my little angelic sister.

And this is a handkerchief, so I wanted to actually use this instead of just keeping it as a decoration.

I wanted to use this handkerchief. Now and forever.

'But if I use it, it will be damaged or will stain, or maybe this beautiful work might also be ruined because of something weird.'

I had to protect the current state of this marvelous piece of divine art.

But I needed the creator's permission for that.

But before that...

Standing up from my chair and gaining the appropriate height for this little girl standing on the dining table, I warmly hugged my little angel.

She knew just from this much just how much I loved this gift. And truly... this was wonderful.

She is talented, maybe more than we were estimating.

And as she grows, and her powers bloom, she will have many difficulties in her path.

Well, we all are here for her, so there's no need to worry about this little one.

She was hugging me back, her eyes closed, and I could hear her cute heartbeats.

"Is it okay if I put a spell on this one so that it never damages and I can use it forever?"

"Hehehe. Why is big brother even asking me that~? It is your gift so you can do what~ever you want with it. I will naturally be happy if big brother uses it forever~!."

And with an even more cheerful laugh, she released her hands from my neck and returned.

She was standing on the table so she was somewhat taller than me right now and as I also released this hug and she took a step back, she almost lost her balance and was about to fall but...

Well, how can she fall when I was right here?

I caught this little girl from her waist and… being on top of the table wasn't good for kids. So, lifting her from her high ground, I just put her back on her chair and gave her a forehead kiss.

She had a confused face as to why I just put her down, but, well, her show was already over.

She was the star of this gifting session.

Her gift had been already been judged superior to theirs, so they had a bit of sad expression, but they knew something like this would happen.

I knew they might have wholeheartedly prepared something best from their side, but this one gift, the very first thing created by my little sister, would always be the best gift for me.

And Rein's one would be after that.

I didn't know about Zoe's gift and she already decided to show it at the end but, I could feel that she knew she couldn't beat Anna this time.

Anna was just that amazing.

But she was still excited about the very first gift she would give someone in her life.

I hope it isn't something too amazing, but I knew her the best, so I knew she understood the normal and abnormal of the world.

She is my second dearest sister, after all. And even though I say it like that, she is even more precious to me than Anna in certain aspects.

Her gift would naturally be amazing, but there were these adults and everyone back at home before her.

I had already put one of my best original enchantments which takes me a month to prepare on the handkerchief. The enchantment of (Eternal sustenance).

This handkerchief will now return to this state, whatever happens. Even if it is completely destroyed and just a thread of it remains.

It was some of my greatest spells. And I only had scripted a handful of these specific enchantments.

But using it on this one is definitely worth it.

I was happy and they could feel this endless happiness of the moment on my face. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

Anyway, Anna's turn was over now, and things calmed down after everyone returned to their shocked expression.

The youngest in the room, Anna, had given her present to the birthday boy so, the cycle now shifted from youngest to the eldest.

And from the old ones present, Rein's wonderful grandmother stood up first, a proud smile bigger than Anna covering her face.

She was excited about this and this really would be quite fun for all of us.

We all knew her and as a former <SS> ranked adventurer as well as the duchess, there was no way her gift would be anything less precious than a young girl's handmade handkerchief.

Not in practical value, at the very least.

Anna's gift was an incomparable and invaluable treasure to me.

But, well, I was also excited to see what she will be giving away as a birthday gift to me.

I had a vague idea of what it would be and... from the looks of it; I was right.
