Chapter 156: One For Her, One For Him

“Uwoooooah!”

“Haha! You like it? I’m glad.”

The female Granilith got on her knees, and placed her palms against the bed below, making the necklace around her neck dangle.

“Uwooo!”

She got up swiftly, and her hand slowly reached towards the red crystal.

The thread, acting like a chain for the necklace, was long enough to allow her to raise it to her face.

She stared at the crystal for a moment, before chuckling and smiling cheekily in the Paru’s direction.

He chuckled, before crossing his arms and looking away, still seated with his back against the bars enclosing the space.

‘Can’t believe I made someone a necklace… Looks like I’m-‘

Before he could finish the thought, she took a seat on his legs facing him, and stroked his cheek with her right hand.

The female Granilith smiled while pressing her lips together, holding the hanging pendant tightly with her left hand.

“I’m glad you like it.” He whispered while stroking her body from the side of her neck down to her left hand, moving alongside the necklace. “Hmm…?”

The female Granilith smiled cheekily as she turned away, reached as far as she could while remaining seated on his legs, and pulled one of the bags closer.

“Want another one?” He chuckled.

Her eyes narrowed as she pondered.

They only widened again once she found the perfect one.

“You like that one as well? Hmm… It’s a Tsero Crystal. Well, a small part of it. I guess… Mm… Actually… That might be too dangerous.”

The female Granilith raised the Tsero Crystal closer to him, while grabbing her necklace from just above the pendant, and making the dangling crystal bounce a handful of times.

“It would be too dangerous to have that around your neck.” The Paru said as he shook his head. “The red ones are fine. Others too. A Tsero Crystal on the other hand…”

The female Granilith blinked repeatedly, and made her pendant bounce again.

“Hm… I don’t think you can convince me.”

She blinked again, lay the Tsero Crystal down, pointed at the crystal dangling from her necklace, then pointed at his chest.

“Huh? Oh… You mean one for me as well?” The Paru asked, his index finger pointing at his chest and then moving to draw the line that the necklace would make around his neck.

“Uwooo!”

“Not matching ones, huh?” He chuckled. “I appreciate the thought. Choosing the Tsero Crystal though would be a bit…”

The Paru’s eyes narrowed for a moment as he brought a hand to his chin.

The female Granilith blinked, and brought a hand to her chin as well, mimicking his pose.

“Actually… Having one around my neck wouldn’t be a bad idea.” The Paru whispered. “With Electric Discharge, I can emit electrical attacks, but that doesn’t have to be the case… If I don’t put much into it, it can turn into weak zaps from my hands… And if I do that, then I can fill the Tsero Crystal with energy, duplicating that energy, then take it back with minimal waste…”

The female Granilith squinted, and tilted her head from left to right.

“Alright, alright.” He chuckled as he lay a hand on her head. “You’ve convinced me. It’ll be tough to make a hole through it though. I don’t have something capable of piercing through it precisely.”

Unlike the Chino Crystals, Tsero Crystals couldn’t be pierced through by using the Giganto Zilla’s Plasma Ray.

“Hm” He shrugged. “Guess I don’t need to pierce it.”

The female Granilith clapped her hands repeatedly as the Paru started producing another thread.

“I’ll make it stickier towards the middle.” The Paru gestured at the female Granilith with head movement to bring the Tsero Crystal closer, and she did.

“Uwooo…” The female Granilith muttered as she changed her grip around the Tsero Crystal, holding it from both extremities.

The Paru wrapped the thread around the width of the crystal many times.

He pulled on the thread once he judged it enough, and the female Granilith let go of the crystal.

Before the Paru could raise it upwards to his neck, the female Granilith took hold of the ends of the thread, her eyes glittering.

“Want to put it on me?”

She blinked, and the Paru let go of the thread.

He remained seated for a moment.

The female Granilith pointed at him and made her index finger spin in the air.

The Paru scratched his head as he pushed himself off the bars behind him, and turned around, giving her his back.

For the first time in a while, the Paru felt a bit embarrassed.

She passed the necklace over his head, brought the ends of the thread beyond both sides of his neck, and…

“Having trouble with that?” The Paru chuckled.

“Uwo!” She exclaimed a moment later, having gotten an idea.

The female Granilith moved back and let go of the necklace.

“Oh…” He nodded. “Nice knot.”

The female Granilith stood up, and tilted her head from left to right.

“Want me to test it?” He did the same, and the knot kept it together.

The female Granilith blinked, her eyes glittering. She reached forward with her palm facing upwards, and the tips of her fingers pushed the pendant of his necklace upwards. He did the same, pushing the pendant of her necklace upwards.

“Almost feels like we’re getting married.” He chuckled.

The female Granilith pressed her lips together. Despite not understanding his words, the expression on his face as well as his tone made her blush. She looked away for a moment.

“Rani?” The Paru called out.

There was no reaction.

“Lith?”

Blink-

“Alright…” He moved forward, bending down to kiss her. “Lith it is, then.”

“How are we doing?” The Commander asked.

“Perfectly. We can take off in 15.” Rea answered while making an -Ok- sign with her fingers.

“Good.” Roka nodded. “Let’s get everyone here.”

“We’re finally…” Kris’ tears almost descended down his face. “Finally about to go home…!”
