Bah…why do I feel like a female in this relationshi+p? He shook his head and trans? I still haven’t picked a ring yet”
Elaru smiled mysteriously “Didn’t you just pick that black diamond one?”
Kiel frowned “No That one was too expensive”
Elaru chuckledin this shop is too expensive”
Kiel’s eyebrow started twitching Then why did you even bringfun of me?!
Elaru glanced at his frosty expression, but her sht you here to pick a ring But I never said I’d buy you the ring”
“What do you erously “Don’t tell me you intend to steal it?” Kiel’s face darkened
Elaru’s eyes widened in surprise “What do you take me as? A common thief?”
For athat…before she added: “Stealing fro If I wanted to steal the ring, those few buffoons couldn’t stopit is the difficult part”
Kiel patiently waited for her to explain She paused for a while, giving hiful look “Jewelers mix mana crystal dust inside the alloys which uniquely identify the rings Re the dust would be a very arduous task that couldn’t be acco Even if I trans into another shape, the owners would still be able to recognize that it is theirs
Not only that, but they also tag the rings with a special substance the s the ring would they neutralize the substance
While it is possible forand counter all these measures, the time and effort are really not worth it”

He decided to steer the conversation into safer waters “If their rings are identifiable then using theated the ring in the future, they would realize that it was purchased in their shop thus it couldn’t be adivine artifact”
Elaru nodded her head “Correct Which is why ”
Then why did you bring me here? Kiel’s eyebrows furrowed If all jewelerswas out of the question They would need a non-marked jewelry piece
Could it be that the purpose of this visit wasn’t to buy hi he liked so that they couldsimilar to it?
“You said you were bringing rumbled
Elaru grinned, her eyes glittering teasingly She could tell that Kiel had figured out the reason for their visit here “Window shopping is still shopping”
Only according to your logic Kiel shook his head “How about we shop for food instead of jewelry?” Before she could respond, he added “Noshopping this time”
Elaru laughed ht I know just the place”
Kiel stared blankly at the building in front of hily similar to the one before that…
ServesElaru lead the way to the restaurant “I know Ashar like the back of my hand” she said…Isn’t this place an overkill?!
