Chapter 82: You look perfect

"Here, wear it on your neck." Jarina said after she noticed that the wood had tied itself on the key and the Krussi.

And, of course, Desire also watched it all happen with wide eyes.

He then spoke with an excited voice as he raised the hand holding the key and the Krussi.

"Woah! They can be something like this?!"

Desire didn't know that the Krussi could be something like this. Of course, even the key.

As Desire looked into it with eyes that were basically sparkling, Desire soon saw the wood entering some part of the Krussi.

Desire then saw the wood exit at some part of the necklace, and then the wood tied itself at a considerable length.

The Krussi was a cross-shaped gold necklace, but before, it didn't have a chain or link.

It was even weird to call it a necklace if it didn't have something like the chain or link to hang it in your neck.

However, now that it had the wood as a chain, the Krussi finally looked like a proper necklace.

Of course, Desire didn't forget about the key, but Desire didn't really put much of an importance to it as much as the Krussi.

It makes one wonder, but Desire just simply couldn't give a fuck to it.

After all, how could a key containing a trial possibly compare to a necklace that is composed of a Holy Ore?

"Yes. That's how necklaces are supposed to be, after all." Jarina said as she looked at Desire's excited face.

She then walked forward and bent her body forward, making her hair fall.

She grabbed the Krussi out of Desire's hand, but surprisingly, Desire didn't really mind it as he just watched Jarina do her stuff.

Well, he couldn't really react as Jarina's hand was already at his neck.

And when Jarina was done, she took a few steps back and looked at Desire with a smile.

"You look perfect."

With the golden necklace hanging on his neck, Desire smiled as he spoke.

"Thank you!"

It seems that having the Krussi on his neck was just that special to him as he looked at it again.

However, he soon looked back at Jarina as it was now time to go.

With the key of the Dungeon on his hands, Desire then spoke once more.

"Let's go. I'm fine now."

When Jarina heard that, she nodded her head and turned around.

She then began walking with Desire by her side.

The duo then vanished into the sea of trees as they started climbing down the mountain.

****

Desire and Jarina didn't really talk with each other as they were walking.

They had to be on guard against possible threats in here. However, none of the monsters could possibly win against Jarina.

That was why they were comparatively relaxing while they were walking.

And because of that, they were able to get down the mountain a lot faster than normal.

It was surprising because Jarina didn't carry Desire on the entire journey.

After all, Jarina always babied Desire no matter where they were.

However, Jarina had a reason why she didn't do like she always did.

And that was...

'Something is different...' Jarina thought as she glanced at Desire.

Although the place was full of trees and hard to walk on, the duo didn't really have any troubles with that.

That was why Jarina could see Desire smoothly walking over the bushes.

'I can't tell, but he really is different...' Jarina thought as she continued walking.

Ever since they started walking, Jarina couldn't help but feel that there was something different in Desire.

However, she couldn't tell or specify what was different.

And that was weird.

Jarina is a strong monster, and she even had the Cold-Blooded Trait.

Her instincts would be able to pick up any difference to a person, and her Cold-Blooded Trait would help her find any changes with just a look.

And, yet, she couldn't even feel or see what the difference in Desire was.

What's more, the last time they were together wasn't really that long ago. It was just a span of a day or two days.

With her collective mind and sharp eyes, Jarina should definitely be able to see even the tiniest difference.

However, Jarina couldn't tell what it was, and that fact was bugging her.

What is it? How did he change? Did something happen to him? Is it related to that key?

Jarina only thought of those questions in her mind as they were walking.

Although she wasn't that curious about what happened to Desire when she met him again, due to her feelings, Jarina was dying to know now.

How could two days' worth of time possibly change someone?

What's more, Jarina could definitely feel that the change isn't some tiny little bit, but a big one!

After all, Desire's eyes were just that sharp and alert.

'His eyes were round and cute, but now...'

Sigh. Jarina inwardly thought, but of course, she wasn't really talking about the shape of Desire's eyes.

She was talking about the mood and atmosphere Desire had on his persona.

She knew that those weren't the source, but the effect of Desire's change.

It was then.

As Jarina kept thinking to herself while walking, the duo soon reached their destination.

And in their destination, Desire could see something.

And when he saw that, Desire spoke up with an excited but quiet voice.

"So, this is..."

After all, he already knew it as Jarina told him about it.

He knew that he would soon meet a human, and he was excited about it.

He was excited to see if his training the Heavenly Demon Trait was a correct decision or not.

He was excited to see if the one-year training that he had wasn't a waste.

He wanted to see if he would be able to control his emotions now.

"So, this is my first time meeting one..."

It was Desire's first meeting with a human.
