Chapter 544: Chapter 544 - Taming the Fourth Year: Connections - Seeking Guidance

"Oh right! I’m sorry... How are you? I heard terrible things happened and..."

"I’m fine," Ren couldn’t help but smile at her familiar scattered attitude. "Well, more or less but mostly fine."

"Oh, what a relief!" Jessy tried to fix her completely disheveled hair but ended up crumpling some papers with her elbows. "Because I had heard rumors about underground monsters and large-scale mobilizations, and Musy..." she pointed toward her cat, "was very worried about you. Isn’t that right, Musy?"

The cat, which was rarely manifested, looked at her with the typical expression of ’don’t involve me in your weird human conversations’ and curled up for a nap.

"As I was saying," Ren continued, "I need your help with something."

Jessy’s eyes immediately lit up.

"Oh of course, of course! Do you need material prices? Evaluations? Maybe something related to..." she leaned conspiratorially, "dangerous materials?"

"Not exactly," Ren scratched his head nervously. "It’s more... personal."

"Personal?" Jessy blinked confused, then her eyes opened enormously and she stood up from her chair. "OH! It’s about a girl!"

"It’s not...! Well, yes, two... but not in the way that you seem to..." Ren sighed. "Can you sit down? This is going to take a moment."

But Jessy practically jumped over the counter in her enthusiasm, almost tripping in the process.

"Of course! Musy, this is going to be interesting!" The cat opened one eye with disdain before ignoring her completely.

Ren explained, in an edited way, the recent events. Particularly how he had treated Luna and Liora badly during the confrontation with Leopold, and how terrible he felt about it.

"So," Jessy summarized with unusual seriousness, "you were cruel and then acted all prideful with someone who genuinely cares about you, at a moment when she was trying to protect you from yourself or make you see reason."

"When you put it like that it sounds worse..."

"Because it IS very sad for them!" Jessy exclaimed, then immediately softened. "But, but... it’s the kind of horrible that can be fixed because they care about you! Like when Musy broke a jar of expensive materials and I had to pay for it for 12 monthly installments, I thought I’d never forgive him, but then he brought me a small dead bird beast as an apology and..."

"I don’t think a dead beast would work in this situation," Ren interrupted dryly.

"Of course not! Humans are much more complicated than cats!" Jessy laughed enthusiastically. "You need something that shows you understand what you did wrong AND that you care about their happiness."

"Like what?"

"The dead bird was the clue... A gift!" Jessy stopped abruptly, looking at him as if it were obvious. "But we are not cats so get something thoughtful. Something that shows you pay attention to who they really are."

Ren frowned.

"Isn’t that a bit... superficial? Buying someone’s forgiveness."

"No, no, no!" Jessy waved her hands frantically. "It’s not buying forgiveness. It’s... it’s showing effort! It’s like... like when my grandmother makes her special cake when she wants to apologize for something. It’s not the cake itself, it’s the time and care she puts into making it perfect."

She paused, nervously biting her lip.

"Besides," she added more softly, "your friends from good families seem to be the type of person who appreciates thoughtful gestures. Not ostentatious, since they surely have everything, but rather... considerate."

Ren considered this. The logic was sound, even if the execution would be challenging.

"But what type of gift would be appropriate then?"

Jessy’s eyes began to shine with the fervor of someone who had found a fascinating project.
