"Thank you, Mr. Alphonse Barca. On behalf of the Vandenburg family I thank you for rescuing my daughter. This is a gift from our master to be given to you once he is satisfied that the treatment has been successful. Please accept it."

"Thank you, Sebas. But is it okay?　As for the cost of the treatment, I thought we agreed to use the magic stone from the magic labyrinth."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No problem. Of course, we will pay for your treatment. This is a gift from our master, and I hope you will accept it.

"I see. Well, then, be my guest."

　It was the day after Elizabeth's treatment ended.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sebas, who had apparently checked on her, thanked me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, he had seen Elizabeth's condition and immediately decided that everything seemed to be all right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess that's because the others have been in good shape so far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the thanks were not only in words, but also in things.

　A gift from the Counts of Vandenburg.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered what it was and decided to look at the contents on the spot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I opened the elegant box.

A ring?　And if it's a pair, does that mean it's for me and Elizabeth?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. This is the ring of the magical instrument used by the Vandenburgs in marriage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, this ring is a magical tool?　Does that mean it has some unusual effect?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. However, it does not mean that wearing the ring will have a special effect. It is equipped with a function that automatically adjusts to the optimum size according to the size of the wearer's finger.

"Automatic adjustment?　Isn't that great?"

"Of course. The Brillia Magi is a country that traditionally uses magic circles and magical tools. The Vandenburgs are the only family that can make self-adjusting magical tools. This engagement ring is made of a highly durable metal with self-adjusting magic circle dimensions, and is known as a piece that will last a lifetime."

　A little ring story about Sebas was presented.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that in the magical land of Bryria, it is customary for new couples to exchange rings when they get engaged or married.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rings made at that time are treasured.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But people's bodies change.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I were me now, I would still grow up, and some people would get fat when they grow up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or maybe I will lose weight as I grow old.

　If you wear the ring you made when you were young, you may be in a hurry to get it off your finger, or your finger may become too thin and it may slip off too soon and you may lose it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This does not happen with this ring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ring is always optimized to the size of the wearer's body, so that it does not come off or slip off, and the wearer even forgets that he or she is wearing it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For this reason, it is sometimes said that if you want an engagement ring, ask the Vandenburgs to make it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Look at the ring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The inside of the metal part had a detailed pattern drawn on it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is probably what gives the ring its ability to automatically adjust to the wearer's measurements.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the land of Briaria, there are such convenient magical tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, only the Vandenburg family can make these tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because the magic circle is generally kept secret.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The pattern visible on the inner surface of this ring is only a coded one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is meaningless to imitate this pattern as it is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, in Briaria, the magic circle is not managed by the whole country, but by each noble family, which has developed its own magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that those magic weapons are actually owned by the royal family rather than by the country of Briaria.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure the Vandenburgs have some magical tools for weapons too.

"I got a good one. Does this mean that Elizabeth and I are officially married?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, sir. We will formalize the marriage at a later date. However, to show our sincerity, the Vandenburgs' will is firm if we deliver the ring first. Will you accept?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. But are you sure?　You might be able to decipher the magic circle from this ring, and I might be able to get the magic circle to auto-adjust, you know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha. It is difficult to decipher the encrypted magic circle. The same is true for this automatic adjustment. Let's just say that no one has been able to decipher it so far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sebas said confidently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is true that encryption is not supposed to be decipherable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's what I learned at the House of Lords.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is because it is converted into a completely different and unoriginal pattern from the original magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there is someone who can do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's show Ai this ring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it can be adjusted automatically, why don't we use it for armor?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Metal armor cannot be worn unless it is adjusted to each individual's body, but it would be a different story if an auto-adjusting magic circle could be built into it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We might be able to create a useful armor like the Oni Armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't help but smile when I received a better product than I had expected.
