After meeting Ruby again, I could not help but praise her amazing crafting skills. I admitted openly that she had perhaps already surpassed me in various areas, because she relied only on her own talent and hard work while I mostly depended on outside forces for many of my creations. If anything, she was already incredible. My honest words, however, seemed to upset Aquarina, who thought I was underselling myself somehow.
"Hahaha, I am just speaking the truth," I said with a light smile. "I am sure she will do an even better job at polishing or improving my divine weapon and shield, right?"
"C-Could I?!" Ruby gasped, her eyes widening. "I do not know if I am ready for something so important…"
"There is only one way to find out, right? We will see," I giggled softly. "Anyway, where is everyone else?"
"Oh right! I almost forgot. Come with me!"
