Chereads / Mariel: The Goddess of War / Chapter 66 - Birthday Present.

Chapter 66 - Birthday Present.

"It'll be your birthday in a few days, Mania." Mariel said cheerfully.

"We need to celebrate together." Beatrix added.

"Just a small party in our room then." Mania said with an embarrassed expression.

"I'll make you your favorite foods and cakes." Mariel said, acting like a chef in the kitchen.

"I will prepare fruit shakes and other snacks." Beatrix said.

"Thank you both so much for doing this to me." Mania said, tears out from her eyes.

"Don't be considerate. We're friends. Well, today it's our turn to use the Covenant Room. Let's go and practice together." Mariel said.

"Let's do it!" the others responded in unison.

They are much better at fighting monsters than before. The teamwork is improved that even the cloned of Mariel made applaud. But in the end, they still lost to the cloned Mariel as always.

"You guys has been better than before, but you're still need to practice more." the cloned Mariel said.

 

"One day, we will defeat you!" Mariel said after recovering their bodies.

"I'll wait for that day, my dear." the cloned Mariel replied before the three girls headed back to their room.

After they had returned to their room while waiting to enter the shower room to take a shower one by one, there was a knock at the door of the room.

"Coming!" Mariel said, opening the door and finding Hector and Elizabeth stood in front of her.

"Uh...Principal Hector and Miss Elizabeth." Mariel said, feeling surprised.

"Mission 3! Let's go!" Hector said in a good mood.

"But I just finished training in the Covenant Room." Mariel said with exhaustion.

"Lord Hector wanted to go look for valuable items. I tried to dissuade him, but he still needed to go there." Elizabeth said.

"Then let's go!" Hector said, pulling Mariel's hand and rushing out of the room to prepare to warp and go on a mission together.

"I'm going to die!" Mariel cried out in pain.

"Good luck, Mariel." Beatrix stood and waved her hand in blessing.

 

In Mission 3, it didn't take long to defeat the most powerful monsters, and Mariel completely fainted. As for Hector, he received very rare ores and a lot of elite-animal skins.

"Thank you very much, Mariel. A total of 100 mission points for Room 1, and this is the prize money." Hector handed Mariel a bag of money, which had a total of about 120 gold coins.

"Thank you very much," Mariel said gratefully, taking the bag of money into her hand. The tiredness from a moment ago almost immediately disappeared because of this reward.

"What are you going to spend this money on, besides food and other necessary supplies?" Elizabeth asked curiously.

"I had an idea now. In a few days, it will be my friend's birthday. An elf named Mania. Maybe I would buy her a birthday present." Mariel immediately thought of this idea and replied.

"I agreed, because the healing magic wand of a healer class is very important. The more powerful the wand, the better it will be at supporting their teams. The healing wand that Mania was using was still a bit old. You have to go and check at the weapon shop tomorrow. This is my opinion." Elizabeth said.

"Thank you very much, Elizabeth." Mariel thanked her and bowed.

"With pleasure." Elizabeth said with a smile.

"Haven't seen Eli smile like this for a long time." Hector teased.

"Do you want to be grounded again? Lord Hector." Elizabeth replied, staring with fear in her eyes.

"No, this old man doesn't like living in small room anymore." Hector said. After that, they all went back to their own rooms to rest.

The next day was the weekend. After the three girls had breakfast, they got dressed and went shopping together. Mariel informed Apophis through the thoughts that she would go out to buy more supplies and choose an early birthday present for Mania.

"I will prepare a gift for your friend as well. The item should arrive just in time." Apophis said.

"Thank you so much for your kindness." Mariel said.

"Don't be considerate. Your friends are my friends as well." Apophis said.

"Thank you again, Lord Apophis." Mariel replied.

At the market, there are lot of people, including the merchants and merchants, helped restore and repair the shops until they could sell again as before. The familiar and lively atmosphere returned to normal. People are shopping for various products and equipment as usual.

 "People are back to being lively as usual. It feels really good." Mariel said with a smile.

"People here are very supportive. They always helped each other's to fix something better." Beatrix added.

"Yes, they are." Mania supported her friend's idea.

After purchasing supplies, Mariel immediately started to get into the plan she had in mind by pretending to want to go check out the weapon shop and her friends agreed with this.

When the three girls walked into the famous weapon shop where Mariel received the Dragon Slayer Sword, the shop owner came in to greet her and ask how the Dragon Slayer sword was. Mariel stood and chatted happily, leaving Beatrix and Mania to look at the magic scepters displayed on a glass cabinet instead.

Beatrix looked at the magical wand of destruction with interest. Mania chose to go directly to see the healing magic wand for healer class. She was looking around and found a healing magic wand, which was an advanced healing magic wand that was quite rare. Of course, the price is also very expensive.

Mania looked at the price tag and shook her head with regret because the price of this magic wand was as high as 350 gold coins. Her savings were less than 100 gold coins because she had to send the money to her home at the end of every month to pay back to the other elves that her parents had borrowed for her tuition.

 

Mariel, after finishing talking, walked around, looking for her two friends and found Beatrix first. Then they walked up to Mania, who was still looking at the magical healing wand with a feeling of demanding it. They hid behind the hammer weapon glass cabinet, so Mania wouldn't notice them.

"I think I found Mania a birthday present now." Mariel whispered to Beatrix.

"It is very expensive. That scepter of healing." Beatrix said.

"How much is it?" Mariel asked curiously.

"If I remember correctly, it's about 300+ gold coins." Beatrix said.

"Beatrix, would you mind sharing the cost of this healing magic wand with me? Give it as a gift to Mania because I believe that with this scepter, Mania will be able to increase its ability to support us even more." Mariel inquired.

"Yes, I can help you but less than 100 gold coins because I have to keep them as an emergency fund too." Beatrix said.

"Then...I'll pay 300 gold coins. Coincidentally, I just got the prize money from Mission 3 last night. It already has should be enough to pay for it." Mariel said while calculating that her savings were almost empty.

"Aren't you going to keep some of your money?" Beatrix asked with concern.

"I can begin to save up again later, but I want Mania to have a good healing magic wand to use and make she happy on her birthday." Mariel said.

 "If you say so. I agree with this. You have to come and buy this healing magic wand later." Beatrix finally agreed and spoke.

"Keep it a secret between the two of us." Mariel said.

"Next time, it's about my birthday. Please give me a surprise like this." Beatrix said, looking at Mariel with pleading eyes.

"I get it." Mariel accepted.

"I really want a magic scepter of destruction. I immediately felt hope for that." Beatrix said cheerfully.

"Wait a minute. Its costs close to 1000 gold coins!" Mariel said with a pale face because this famous scepter was suitable for high-class magic attacks. She had listened to Claudia when Mariel was young about the adventures of Deric and Claudia in the beginning after graduating from the High School of Magic. Claudia used this one before.

"Why do you even know about this scepter?" Beatrix asked curiously because Mariel was a swordsman class and probably didn't know much about the magic scepter.

"My parents told me about this scepter before and it's still expensive." Mariel said.

"I don't care. Otherwise, I won't talk to you anymore." Beatrix made a slightly annoyed expression.

"Then I'll buy it for you next time." Mariel said with determination.

"Thank you, my dear friend." Beatrix said, turning to give Mariel a gentle hug. It made her feel quite embarrassed.

Mariel and Beatrix walked towards Mania together with Mania hurriedly returning to her normal expression. Then they headed back to school together.

The next day, Mariel waits for the time that Beatrix and Mania's time to work together at a restaurant. Then she walks to this famous weapon shop and immediately bought a magic healing magic wand and wrapped it neatly in an envelope. Then she hid it in the back of a closet so that no one else could see it.

Until Mania's birthday, her classmates wished her a happy birthday and gave her small gifts, mostly sweets and greeting cards. Including several bouquets of flowers from a group of male students in the room together.

"Thank you for everyone's blessings and gifts. Mania doesn't know how to repay you all." Mania said, tears with joy.

"We are always your friends. It doesn't matter if you're an elf or someone else. After all, everyone's status is always equal. Happy birthday again." Bellani said.

While Mania was thanking the others, Mariel walked in carrying a large, wrapped present with Beatrix following behind her.

"Happy birthday, Mania. This is a present from me and Beatrix." Mariel said with a smile, handing Mania a wrapped present.

Mania received it with a surprised expression because the wrapped gift was quite large and was almost as long as her own body. When Mania slowly began to unwrap the gift until she opened the box, she found that...

 It was a magical healing wand that Mania really wanted, but she didn't expect that her two friends would buy it as a present because the price was quite expensive.

"I...I... don't know what to say." Mania stammered with tears streaming down both cheeks.

Mariel and Beatrix didn't say another word but walked over and embraced Mania with concern. Instead, it made Mania cry even more than before.

"Today it is the happiest day of my life. Thank you very much for this precious present. I promise to use this healing magic wand with all my magic power for supporting you." Mania said.

"It's good because we're your friends." Beatrix said with a smile.

"Please heal me often. From now on I will probably train even harder than before." Mariel said.

"Most definitely. With this healing wand, I will be able to use my potential even better, I promise." Mania said with a heartfelt smile.

"Mariel, do you want any sword for your birthday? I'll buy it for you." Jerrick asked after watching this.

"If it's better than the Dragon Slayer Sword, I'll accept it." Mariel replied.

"I guess I'll have to ask Lord Victor about that." Jerrick said helplessly. Making the other friends and Mariel laugh with joy.

"Happy birthday, Mania. Wishes you have lots of happiness forever." Mariel said in her heart.
