"Emilia, I still haven't claimed this week's gift. Last week, I got a Relic Bullet. I wonder what it'll be this week. Do you want to give it a try?"
It was worth mentioning that although Emilia had formally entered the "adult" stage of elfhood, the Gift Box still judged her to be a "child."
That was probably related to Emilia's youthful mindset. Or perhaps the box still used ancient standards for judging when an elf became an adult.
Emilia gladly accepted the invitation. Shade and the cat watched curiously as the little elf reached into the box, while the Elf Girl looked thoroughly puzzled:
"It seems to be empty. There's nothing in here... Oh, sorry, I found something at the very bottom. Ah! What is this? It feels disgusting!"
She pulled a white Serpent's Shedding from the box. The Pointy-eared Elf, who hated snakes, immediately flung it away.
The Serpent's Shedding drifted lightly down in front of Little Mia. The cat even stretched out her head to sniff it, then wore a distinctly disgusted expression.
Miracle Element covered the surface of the Serpent's Shedding. Held up to the sunlight, traces of individual snake scales could still be seen.
After picking it up, Shade determined that it was a particularly ancient Serpent's Shedding produced by Fatumonst Snow Mountain, according to Luvia.
Following the Serpent's Sheddings in Miss Reinhart's and Luvia's possession, this was already the third one. Emilia had clearly not dripped her blood onto it, yet words had already appeared on its surface:
