Chapter 93: Do you want some of my mana?

"Yeah. I just woke up." Desire said as he looked at Jarina.

And when he did, he soon saw Jarina's...tears flowing down her face as she sniffed.

She sniffed her nose, as some kind of liquid was trying to come out of that as well.

And Desire could see that all as he spoke.

"What's wrong? You've been like this a lot lately."

Desire could remember Jarina being emotional a lot more than in the past.

Well, it was reasonable as Desire was always in those kinds of situations where Jarina would have to worry for him.

"It's just..." Jarina said as she bent her knees as she touched Desire's hand.

It was weird that Jarina didn't use her magic to make a chair appear or something like that, as she always has done that.

However, Desire couldn't think about that anymore as Jarina spoke.

"You've been getting hurt a lot lately..."

Jarina was wiping the tears flowing down her face as she spoke.

Her eyes were red, and Desire could see that clearly.

"What the hell happened to you? You started heating up all of a sudden, and then...and then..."

Jarina bent her back and let her head rest on Desire's chest.

No, she just lost strength on her knees, making her fall down that way.

After all, it was just unbelievable.

Ever since Desire went on Jakart, Desire was getting hurt all day long.

First was the Core Formation when Desire had his body bleeding all over.

The second was the Dungeon, where many dangerous things could happen.

And now, this...Jarina was stressed out and frustrated at the fact that she couldn't do anything to help Desire.

"I'm sorry..."

I'm sorry. That was all that Jarina wanted to say to Desire.

If you think about the events that happened to Desire, none of that was her fault at all.

Although the Dungeon being here was unexpected, that one wasn't her fault.

She didn't know, but Fireboy was just attracted to Desire, leading to dangerous situations like what happened.

However, Jarina wholeheartedly wanted to say sorry to Desire.

And Desire felt Jarina's emotions resonate within him as he spoke.

"What are you saying? It's not your fault."

"Besides, I am thankful enough that you are helping me out."

Jarina then lifted her face as she looked at Desire with...quite a relieved look.

"R-really?" 

"Yeah. Who do you think was there for me when I had an issue with myself?"

"Who do you think was there for me to guide me? To even support me?"

"I know that you have gone to great efforts just to make me stay in Skinjur."

Desire knew that what he did in Skinjur wasn't something even a Suckus could do.

Training in a special place like that and getting all the necessities in his life was a huge boon for Desire.

What's more, Desire's connection with the Suckus, or rather Jarina, didn't end there.

Desire became the student of Jarina's father, which is a Conqueror.

Desire is basically set for life once he keeps going this way. And that was all thanks to Jarina.

Varyce is also one of the reasons, but that was because Varyce was thinking of Desire's potential help.

Desire knew that Jarina helped him because Jarina wanted to help him.

And when Desire 'grew' up, he soon noticed that the only reason why the village of Lyra was so kind to him was because of the special taste of his mana.

Although Desire became friends with the village as time went on, Jarina's relationship with Desire was just different.

After all, Jarina has not once tasted Desire's mana.

And that was why Desire was confident that Jarina wholeheartedly, with all of her strength, wanted to help Desire.

And with that in mind, Desire spoke as he smiled.

"Hey, Jarina."

"Hmm?"

"Do you want some of my mana?"

"!"

Jarina opened her eyes wide when she heard what Desire said.

After all, she knew what that meant. However, when she saw Desire's eyes that were looking at her, she soon smiled.

Why? It was because Desire had the face that seems to tell, 'I know.'

Desire knew what he meant by offering Jarina his mana.

This wasn't the same when Desire offered mana to Liya.

This situation wasn't the same as the time Desire offered one to Liya, as Desire knew, had thought about it, and wanted it for himself.

Right, he wanted to tell Jarina the underlying meaning of offering one's mana to a Suckus.

And that was, of course, a proposal.

"Hmm." Jarina nodded her head.

She personally wanted to try some of Desire's mana for herself when she heard about how delicious it was.

She just didn't ask for it because that might offend Desire.

That was why she was looking forward to the day when she could ask.

However, to think that Desire would offer his mana to her, what's more, he also knew what that meant.

Today is the kind of day that Jarina won't be able to forget.

"Ahm." Jarina opened her mouth a little bit as she went for the most obvious place where one could find a mana circuit.

And that was on his wrists and hands.

"Ahm." Jarina made a noise as she bit down on Desire's skin on his left wrists.

She then began sucking the mana out of Desire with her eyes closed.

She wanted to savor this moment. And when Jarina felt that the mana was about to enter her mouth, her eyes opened wide.

Why? It was because the mana was exploding in her mouth.

Gulp! Jarina's throat gulped down the mana.

'I-it's really delicious...how could his mana be so good?!' Jarina thought as she kept sucking on Desire's mana.

And while she was doing that, Desire was just looking at Jarina bite down on his wrists.

Of course, Desire was satisfied with his decision as he kept looking at Jarina with a smile.

"Proposal, huh..." Desire said as he closed his eyes.

He then felt the pleasure of having his mana sucked out by a Suckus.

The two then shared the night together as Jarina didn't stop all night long.
