After finishing our food, I had to resume opening these presents. What Tristan had gotten me, my hopes of these remaining gifts would be great.
"Nene, Reina, here is what Tristan gave me. Take it."
The two remaining wristwatches would be given to them. Guiding them on how to use it wasn't hard. They got the hang of it fairly quickly.
Now that the two of them had settled with what they had, it was time for me to open my gifts. The next gift I would open would be from Reina's father.
"Reina, what do you predict your father would give me?"
I hadn't talked much to Reina's father, so I didn't know much about him. Reina was right beside me, so I asked for her opinion.
"He's someone who likes safety. So his gift would most likely be some protection."
It's never too much to have a protection artifact. Some people have more than ten protection artifacts for survival.
Since Reina had said what I wanted to hear, I opened the gift inside. What my father-in-law gave me was a shape-shifting suit. Well, that's what is said in the note he wrote.
Stripping my old outfit, I wore the suit. Imagine the clothes I want to wear would change into whatever I want. How convenient.
It would permanently block a quarter of an attack, and the suit won't ever get dirty. Like Tristan's gift, the gift I got from my father-in-law was also convenient.
Reina had a distinct look while seeing what I had got. Was she jealous? All the little suffering that I had gone through is now being rewarded.
"I'm not giving this to you. Ask your dad for one instead."
"Don't you know, sharing is caring."
My fiance did her best to seduce me. I wasn't so stupid to fall for that. My greed is much higher than I had initially thought. And I doubt it will go away any time soon.
"My future wife. If you want to get along with me, I'm a man with boundless greed. I'm possessive with my items."
"Cheapskate..."
"If it makes you feel better, you're also a possession of mine."
Reina looked at me and gasped, stunned by what I had said. Now that I have taken care of that, I want to open the remaining gifts from Jennifer.
"Master~! Flirt with me, too~!"
Nene didn't want to be left out of the conversation, so she jumped in. How strong was she to have that much stamina?
"Yes, yes. Nene is also mine."
I kissed her on the lips and started to open Jennifer's gift. Jennifer had given me three of them. Three times the present means three times the fun.
Unwrapping the first gift, what mother-in-law gave is a mana vial. If I lacked something in the ranking, then it's mana.
Mana is a blood talent given by your birth parents. Considering how shitty my parents were on the board, I had also inherited that trait of theirs.
I was reading what Reina's mother sent. This was a second-world ranking mana upgrading vial. Drinking this vial will increase the quantity of mana that I will have.
Without wasting any time, I downed the liquified mana. I didn't expect drinking mana to have this sweet feeling. The flow of mana had entered my body, and the weak feeling in my lower body had disappeared.
"I made a full recovery!"
"Congrats, Master~!"
"But I'm still sore..."
Reina muttered, seeing me move ideally. Having mana is like a sixth sense. The air and the sensitivity of my body had increased. It would take a while for me to get used to this feeling.
My mana ranked in the billions and was now in the millions. Even though my ranking in mana increased by a long shot, my overall had only improved by two ranks up, from 425 to 423.
The Burgess family are my most fantastic sponsors, even though they weren't. I wonder when Linsey will put me to work. I'm not complaining about my free time, but I want more.
And for the second gift that Jennifer gave was a third-rank body enhancement capsule. The price of this thing is the same as a second-rank mana vial. Mana-related items are pricey.
"You'll be sleeping with my daughter a lot. I can't have you weak in bed, so here is a capsule that will increase your stamina."
My eyes couldn't help but twitch. Well, she wasn't wrong, but I needed it for Nene. Nene couldn't help but laugh at the note Jennifer sent. In comparison, Reina was embarrassed by the note.
Digesting the capsule would take a while, so I will do it later. There is still one final gift, which is smaller than the rest.
Opening the gift, it is two pairs of rings. Engagement rings? I didn't expect her to send us one. These rings oddly fit both of us; the color silver and a pink heart-shaped gem on the top made it cute.
Seeing that there were two, Reina hurried and took the ring that fit her the most. I thought its ability was over the top for an engagement ring. Every time I sleep with the other pair wearing the ring, my strength increases slightly.
"Reina, it looks like we'll be doing more later."
"Let's do it when I'm recovered."
"Master~! I also want a ring like that~!"
Nene said, also wanting an engagement ring similar to the one I'm wearing.
"I will get you one later, but first, I need to use my body enhancer capsule."
"Reina, do you need anything before we go?"
"No. I have my watch to entertain myself."
"Ok. See you later."
Bidding Reina a small farewell, Nene and I made it to my bathtub. On our way, I passed by Bella. One of the maids of the house.
She was a blushing mess once she met my gaze. I saw how she looked and confirmed that they knew what I did.
I can worry about that later, but it is time for another power-up.
