68. Sacrifice for protection
Violette took Yulan to a watch shop. It was a bit far from the place they had just left, so they would have to go straight there to pick up the repairs. Although they will not be able to take a break, Yulan is not tired to begin with, and if Violette prioritizes this one, there is not a shred of thought to object to it.
And from the conversation just before, it was clear without needing to ask why they were going there.
My watch was bought from here, she said. They sell more than just watches, and they have a wide variety of designs.
Wow, Vio-chan, youve been around here before, havent you?
Id like to say yes, but its actually my first time here.
Oh, thats right.
Violette, for reasons similar to Yulans, is not a fan of wristwatches. She either repairs one that her father used to have, or custom orders one with the exact same design. And the size, too. But it would always slip through from Violettes thin wrists.
Until Marin provided her with her current pocket watch, she used have a simple wristwatch that matched hers. Its a simple watch with a metal part attached to a synthetic leather belt, but its much better than the one she had, which is neither the right size nor the right design.
However, she still couldnt get used to the feeling of being restrained by her wrist, and so Marin found her current pocket watch for her when she kept forgetting to wear it.
Violette looked at the many dials in the line and searched for one that would fit Yulan.
It was right to leave it up to Marin when choosing something, but she was somewhat excited to pick out something for Yulan. When Violette choosed something for herself, she would just judge whether it looks good on her or not, but when it comes to finding something that Yulan will like, she have much more responsibility, and thats why its fun. Maybe its because Yulan is her friend.
Not because she knows what Yuran likes, but because she knows that he would just laugh it away without blaming her if she chosed something funny.
He has big hands, so if she chooses too small, it would be hard for him to use.
If Vio-chan chose it for me, Ill treasure it.
Thats not.
The first thing which is most important is that it is something that you are going to use, so it has to be something that would be easy for you to use.
Saying this, she picked up something that caught her eye. Functionality is important to Yulan, who is not a big fan of design. He wanted something sturdy and comfortable in his hand.
The similarly sized watches are just at the size of the palm of her hand, but she wonders if Yulan would find them small. Without some sense of presence, they would end up like the forgotten and neglected wristwatches. If he loses his watch so often, Yulan may not have developed the habit of carrying a watch with him.
Violette wants him to use it for a long time if possible, and she hopes him to like it. Frankly speaking, this is a needless worry, but it is a natural thought for Violette, who does not know Yurans inner feelings.
I think it would be a great size to fit in my hand, dont you think so?
Well, I guess so.
Yulans large hand shook at Violettes eye level. The actuality that his hand is so big that it could cover not only Violettes hand but also her face completely is reasonable considering the fact that he is tall. The pocket watch, which looked like a palm-sized watch to Violette, looks like a childs toy as soon as she handed it over to Yulan.
Its enough if I can put it in my pocket and take it out easily, he said. If its too big, Itll be trouble.
He says it as if it were someone elses business, but he really knows that it is Yulan himself who will be using it,, and he leaves it entirely to Violette, who is not good at choosing. Even if she choses something bizarre and inconvenient, there is nothing wrong with it because the best brand for Yulan is the one that Violette chosed for him.
Violette, on the other hand, wanted to give Yulan a watch, since he often loses his watch, so she wanted to give him something that he could use a long time.
She looked up at Yulan, who was still smiling, his cheeks puffing up a little, with a sultry expression on his face.
Before she could say anything, he grabbed her arms and pulled her to him. The force he used wasnt much to pull her completely in his arm, he just pulled her closer so that he can see her eye-to-eye.
Violette looked at the face that unexpectedly came to her sight. She could clearly see her expression on his eyes.
He just chuckled, as if tolerating a childs prank.
Thank you, Vio-chan.
Im sure Yulan will be the one to use it in the first place, right?
Although it is in the name of being a reward from her, that does not mean that he have to accept what Violette choosed without saying anything. Rather, since they are standing next to each other, Yulans wishes should be expressed more and more. She choosed for Yulan because she wanted to make him happy.
And she is sure that the time spent choosing watch together was the most enjoyable. It was much more enjoyable than just choosing one without him and giving it to him.
What kind of watch would Vio-chan like?
Me? I
Rather than explaining, Violette pulled out her own pocket watch from her bag.
The form was in the form of a half-hunter or demi-hunter, the lid was donut-shaped, with a glass fitted into the missing center. The light blue gemstone in the center of the hands gleamed lustrously in the simple silver-colored construction.
?
What does my watch mean? Violette, who was smiling with a mischievous expression on her face, would probably not answer his question.
It didnt take long for Yulan to understand what she is talking about. He looked at where she was looking and easily understood what she meant.
Violette picked the watch that caught her eyes. A pocket watch of the type known as a hunters case. A flower composed of unique petals of different sizes bloomed all over the lid of the watch. Pale purple gems that seemed to dissolve in water made a beautiful flower garden.
I see, it is indeed Vio-chans watch.
The violet flowers are decorated with violet gems. The color of the jewelry is also violet.
It would certainly not be wrong to say that it is Violettes watch,, bearing Violettes name and the colour violet. The name Violette was not given by her parents, but by her mothers father, Violettes grandfather, so he have never heard of its origin.
Violette does not dislike her name, to the extent that she finds herself in the violet flower.
Im sorry for the suddenness of it, but it just caught my eye.
No, dont worry about it.
Although Violette just looked at it, todays purpose was for Yulan, not for Violettes search for a watch. She is well aware of Yulans motto Im not a fan of the newest and most popular but the most useful.
And Yulans would not want to use this design for a stone.
Maybe its because the color is pale, or maybe its because the motif is violet, but even the flower garden that covers the entire lid doesnt give a gaudy impression. The delicate beauty and loveliness of the design is elegant, but it is too lovely for men to use. Above all, delicate decorations are not Yulans forte.
If that is the case, this is also not suitable as a gift for Yulan.
Ill take this one.
Before Violette can put it back, Yulans hand picks up the violet pocket watch. The chain is a bit long and can be put in a pocket or worn around the neck for convenience.
The happy expression on his face as he looked at the chain, which was raised to eye level, was like a child looking at marbles through the sun. The air around Yulan became even sweeter.
But this one
Id like this as my reward.
Violette was puzzled and so Yulan reminded her once again that the outing today was for them to choose a reward for him. He knows what shes thinking, but Yulans true desire for this watch is unwavering and unyielding.
He has found a connection with her. That alone makes it special to Yulan. And once it becomes special, he will not want to give it to anyone else.
It is a feeling akin to possessiveness, but perhaps heavier and deeper.
This will be my good luck charm.
I hope it will bring you good luck.
Yes, it will. I am confident that I will never lose it or forget it.
Isnt that a good thing?(Yulan)
If you want it, I cant help it.(Violette)
She allowed it with her usual big sisterly smile. In Yulans words, she must have seen the extension of his adoration as being his sister.
In truth, its not such a cute dimension, but Violette doesnt need to know. She can believe what she wants to see and what she wants to think. It is Yulans mission and significance to make it true.
If you like it, its the best thing.
Thank you!
Sharpen your weapon. Prepare for everything.
Not hastily, but surely. A castle where she will be happy, a fortress where no one can hurt her. He must build a paradise just for Violette.
Violette doesnt need to know. She doesnt need to know anything, she just needs to face the day. The only thing that makes him sick to his stomach is making Violette wait in that house (Violettes home), but if he fails to do it in haste, everything will disappear in a bubble.
Yulan will do whatever it takes. He will do whatever it takes and use whatever he can, to make sure that she can make a choice based solely on her own thoughts and feelings. To be able to reach out as she desires, without worry or intervention.
Yulan will give everything that he has, including all his feelings.
For Violette, he will sacrifice his happiness.
Even if this feeling does not reach her and her love goes out of control. Even if the feelings he sacrificed to her die out without becoming anything, Yulan doesnt care.
The only thing that Yulan will never do is to hurt /angrybird
