Probably Get Turned into a Family Heirloom~

Scalding Sands Zahab Market (Day)

Scalding Sands - Zahab Market

Malleus
Perhaps I should purchase some coffee as a gift for Silver if it is indeed that bitter. It’d be perfect for fighting off drowsiness.
Kalim
Oh yeah, I think Silver would be happy to get it! Wanna get some for Sebek too?
Malleus
Sebek is unable to drink coffee. What should I buy then…
Jamil
In that case, would you like to consider tea? Tea is also a Scalding Sands specialty.
The Scalding Sands residents are even said to drink more than ten cups of tea per day.
Trey
People in the Queendom of Roses drink tea often too, but…ten cups per day is truly a massive amount.
Jamil
Just like coffee, tea is prepared by brewing the tea leaves directly.
Grim
Whoa… Sounds like it’d be as bitter as the coffee just now…
Jamil
Yeah, it’s very bitter and has a strong tartness to it because its flavour is concentrated.
But for all its taste, we add lots of sugar accordingly.
Sweets are also eaten alongside the tea, of course.
Grim
You still eat sweets even though there’s already sugar in the tea? Now this sounds like it’s ultra sweet…
Jamil
I believe it would make a perfect gift for Sebek since tea has a calming effect.
Malleus
Indeed, he does have a hasty side to himself.
Alright, I shall purchase tea for Sebek as a souvenir.

*Jamil closes his eyes and stays silent*

Kalim
…Hm? What’s wrong, Jamil?
Jamil
Now that you mention it, when I caught sight of him during Flight class the other day…

Jamil and Sebek flashback time

Jamil
Sebek hid the cookies he’d received from Malleus beneath his bosom the entire time because he believed it was sacrilegious to eat them.
They crumbled the moment he made his next move, and he became so upset that it was just pitiful to watch.

Trey
Oi, oi, wouldn’t Sebek avoid drinking the tea because it’d be sacrilegious as well then?
Cater
Ahaha~ It’d probably get turned into a family heirloom~
Jamil
Please instruct him to consume it as soon as possible since these tea leaves are renowned for their freshness.
Malleus
I understand. I will give him a strict order to do so.

Trey
Oh! There’s some pretty hourglasses being sold.
Kalim
These aren’t just any run-of-the-mill hourglasses, they also serve as amulets!
You can get different blessings based on the colour of the sand inside it.
Jamil
The origin of the blessings are connected to our folklore.
Trey
The sign at the storefront has the sand colours and their respective blessings written on it.
Lemme see…

Trey
…Okay, I’ll buy the peacock green and crimson red hourglasses.
Cater
Who’ll you be giving them to?
Trey
The peacock green hourglass will be for Deuce, and the crimson red one will be for Ace.
Cater
Hmmm… Lemme take a look at the signboard for the blessings they give.

Hourglass pic

Cater
Ah, looks like the peacock green hourglass really is based on that princess in the folktale after all.
It says its effect of “academic excellence” is linked to the quick-witted princess.
Jamil
Crimson red is the colour of the clothes donned by the legendary Sorcerer of the Sands.
It is said to embody part of his unwavering devotion to his country with the effect of “improving one’s concentration”.
Cater
Ahaha! These amulets are certainly fitting for the two of them.
Kalim
How nice! Now I feel like getting one too! I wonder which hourglass I should get~
Jamil
(…The same hourglasses Trey bought would do for you. So much so that I want to present them to you with my own two hands, in fact.)
Malleus
Clover, Diamond. Did you buy souvenirs for anyone else?
Trey
Yeah, we got a red teacup and saucer for Riddle.
Cater
Trey and I split the bill for it~
Jamil
A lot of teaware is sold in this country since tea and coffee are drunk frequently here.
Porcelain cups decorated with gold and glass cups for chilled drinks are conventional souvenir items.
Trey
I also bought dried fruits back in Camel Bazaar.
I got pineapples, oranges, kiwis and bananas…the melon we ate earlier, plus dates…
Malleus
That’s quite a lot of fruit you’ve bought.
Trey
Yeah, I was thinking of baking a tart loaded with these dried fruits for Riddle.
Malleus
I see, so you didn’t intend to just give them away as is. I believe Rosehearts will be delighted as well.
Cater
Cay-Cay also bought some absolutely spectacular souvenirs ♪
I got a peacock green beaded bracelet, a handkerchief with a traditional design…
Plus chocolate coated dates that are divided into little bags, and small packets of coffee beans…
Kalim
Ohh! That’s quite a lot you’ve bought just for Riddle~
Cater
Ah, they aren’t just for Riddle, actually. These are inclusive of souvenirs for all my dorm mates and classmates.
There’s probably some who’d want stuff that’s “Undoubtedly Scalding Sands!” so to speak…
But even if I do get them such gifts, they’d be stumped if the gifts end up having no use in future. Plus, there are some who are okay with getting food, right?
Plus plus, if I only gave Riddle a souvenir, with his personality…
He’d probably go “I can’t just accept this if the other dorm students don’t have one as well.”
Trey
Truly. That’s also why I plan to make a dried fruit tart for everyone in the dorm to enjoy.
Jamil
How meticulous they are to leave no stone unturned. Nothing less expected from the duo who serve that tyrant…I mean, strict dorm head.
