[ It certainly has been another eventful month at the Mikotoba household. Glowing dawn petals litter the floor everywhere you walk, and while Kazuma did insist that he would fix the entrance he ruined when he was less snake, Susato has taken it upon herself to put a pink Japanese-style curtain over the damage. If nothing else, it would at least remind her of home.
One morning, Yujin will wake up to find that Susato is not there. Instead, on his nightstand, he will find a necklace; a small bottle attached to a chain, resting neatly on top of a note that looks like it's been ripped out of one of Susato's many notebooks:
I made this same charm to protect Jack, after he was hurt, and then another to protect Kazuma-sama. Now I have made one for you. I never would have thought in a million years that it would amount to anything, but Kazuma-sama's bottle was empty when he returned, and he insists that he felt my presence that night. I have to believe it accomplished something, even if I do not understand what. Wear it. Then tell me if it ever runs empty. But do me a favor, and do not let it run empty.
She doesn't bother signing it.
The charm itself is filled with an array of colors, made up by tiny origami paper cranes filling the whole bottle.
When Yujin wears the necklace, he will find that the pain from any wounds he may receive will be numbed, be they from knives, thorns, or other sharp objects. Any bleeding will slow, and the natural healing of those wounds will be greatly accelerated. Bullets and other foreign objects will be ejected during the healing process, and in the first place, they will find his skin more difficult to penetrate, meeting a deep resistance, as in muk or a very thick rubber.
The catch: every time the effect is used, the cranes are slowly burned off, and when they disappear, so does the charm's protection.
He doesn't have to wear it as a necklace; anywhere on his person will do, but she will certainly look for it when she sees him next. ]
