"But..."
Ash looked into Meiwa's large, tearful eyes, and couldn't bring himself to say the words of refusal stuck in his throat. He couldn't help but glance sideways at the Sword Witch nearby, but she was busy chatting and not looking at him at all.
After a moment's thought, he nodded suddenly, "Alright, I accept, but I also have a gift for you."
"Ah?" Freyja was taken aback.
Ash incorporated all the Technique Spirits from the ring into his soul and then transferred a Two-winged Technique Spirit into the ring. To be honest, this Two-winged Technique Spirit was one of the cores of his Technique Spirit system, and it was a rare gem drawn from the "Aurora's Mage Manual," but the Technique Spirit Freyja gifted happened to be a decent substitute, so he didn't really mind parting with it.
"I only have one Technique Spirit related to the Spirit Faction, but it's infused with the divinity of the Holy Grail, so it should be suitable." Ash returned the ring to Meiwa, "Take it."
