Chapter 11 Ring Making
Bennet's POV
The Next Day
I met up with Mona in front of the souvenir store.
"Did you get the ring design", I asked.
"Yes", Mona replied, before holding out a piece of paper. "Here you go. I asked Albedo to draw out a detailed drawing of the design."
With that, I took the paper from Mona before looking at it.
"Wow", I said in awe. "This looks so cool! You think Fischl's gonna like it?"
"She's going to love it", Mona replied. "Anyway, now that you have the design, the next step is find someone to actually make the ring."
"Yeah", I replied. "I wonder where I can go for that?"
As I was thinking about this, I heard a familiar voice call my name."
"Bennet", they greeted. "Mona!"
When I heard this I turned around, and was very happy to see two very familiar faces.
"Traveller", I said happily. "And Paimon too!"
"Hiya, Bennet", Paimon greeted. "Hiya Mona!"
"Greetings, Traveler and Paimon", Mona greeted. "It is good to see you two again."
"It's good to see you too, Mona", Paimon stated. "So, what were you two talking about?"
"We are discussing Fischl's birthday gift", Mona replied. "Since I am friends with Fischl, Bennet asked me for some help."
"Mona told me that, where Fischl's from, it's customary for suitors to give the Prinzessin a ring as a sign of their affection", I revealed.
"Huh", Paimon said. "But Fischl's actually…"
"Anyway", Mona suddenly said, interrupting Paimon. "I asked Albedo to draw out a ring design that I think Fischl would like."
"Here it is", I said, before giving the paper to the traveler. "What do you guys think?"
"Wow", Paimon said in awe. "That's a really cool looking ring!"
"I know right", I exclaimed. "Now we just need to find someone to make it."
"Traveller", Mona started. "You have probably met people of all sorts of professions during your travels. Do you know where we could get the ring made?"
"Paimon knows this one", she revealed. "There's a jewellery store in Liyue Harbour! You could probably get your ring made there!"
"Liyue Harbour", I repeated.
"Tell you what", Paimon started. "Why don't you give us your ring design? We can take it to the jewellery store in Liyue Harbour and get it made for you!"
"Really", I asked in shock. "You guys would do that for me?"
"Sure", Paimon replied. "We were heading to Liyue Harbour after this anyway."
"Wow", I started. "I don't know what to say. Thank you guys so much!"
"Bennet", Mona started. "Why don't you go with them to Liyue Harbour?"
"Huh", I said in shock. "Go with them to Liyue Harbour?"
"Yes", Mona replied. "When I was gathering information on the customs of Fischl's world, I found that, besides having the ring custom made, it is also customary for the suitor to gather the materials for the ring himself. This shows just how much he is devoted to the Prinzessin."
"I have to gather the materials myself", I asked.
"You should come Bennet", Paimon stated. "It'll be really fun!"
"Yeah", I said. "But, who'd look after my dads while I'm gone."
"Paimon forgot about that", she revealed. "Tell you what? We're only leaving tomorrow, so you have some time to think about what to do."
