After a while of hearing no sound, she glanced up to confirm that Jessie was there, while Jessie was just looking down at the beautiful, shiny brooch on her chest. As if she could not even think about touching it, her hands were hovering poorly above it.

Aria called out for Jessie to break her from that state.

"Jessie, please go to the jewelry store."

"The jewelry store?"

"Yes, I'm thinking of ordering a watch."

She was going to order the five-minute stopwatch that she had thought of earlier. It was a custom watch, so even though any engineer could make it, she decided to let them make it as a pretty watch so that she could carry it with her always and anywhere.

Jewelers sold all kinds of high-end items adorned in all kinds of jewels. They also dealt with designers and other types of engineers. So, the only place that could satisfy her wishes was the jewelry shop.

"Tell the owner that I want a watch that runs for five minutes when I press a button. And that I'll carry it on me at all times."

"Should I just say that?"

"Yes. Please ask him to bring the designs to the mansion later."

"Yes, miss."

Jessie, who had something to do, hurried out to the busy street. Sarah's class was scheduled for later, so she had to come back quickly.

Aria sat on the sofa again, holding a book and thinking while seeing the wagon her attendant was using getting smaller and smaller.

'It was my birthday a while ago, so I could say I bought it as a souvenir.'

She had spent quite a bit of money in the Roscent's name to produce Oscar's gift and the golden brooches. She didn't want to be seen as extravagant, so she decided to make an excuse for the stopwatch.

Well, she had made a big contribution to her father's business in fur, which hadn't existed in his previous life, so he would give her such a birthday present with a smile.

'Should I put the hourglass in a box and carry it around?'

It would be easier to put it in a box because it was a little too bulky to carry freely. In addition, there was the risk of breaking if she just carried it around and dropped it, so she needed a hard case.

Anyway, the box made by the owner of the general store was perfect. The shape was sufficient. There was no need to make a new case because it was clear that Jessie would carry it as she did now.

'I can get the hourglass from Jessie within five minutes to rewind time, which will erase her memory anyway, so I won't have to pay much attention to that.'

While she was lost in thought, time went by, and suddenly, she could hear the sound of a carriage outside the window. Because the carriage had stopped in front of the mansion, it seemed to be from a visitor.

When Aria opened the window and stuck her head out, she saw Sarah in all her benevolence. Aria waved her hand eagerly and welcomed her enthusiastically. Like always, Sarah also raised her head and turned to Aria's room, and the two shared the joy of their reunion with smiles.

"Sarah!"

"Lady Aria."

Today, again, Aria went down to the first floor in a hurry to greet her. While showing off her friendship in the hall for a moment, she recalled that Jessie was out because no maid had followed her as usual.
