Since it’s come to this, what else is there to say?
Asta watched Bayle stay silent for a long time and assumed he had some unspeakable difficulty: “Bayle?
Hmm…
is there something inconvenient?
Please rest assured, if it’s a technical issue, we can offer you some compensation.” Asta held up one finger.
“One thousand?” “Ten thousand,” Asta added.
“Ten thousand, huh.” Bayle smiled and was just about to say something when he was stunned into silence by Asta’s next sentence.
“Of course not.
How could we be so stingy?
It’s 10 million!” Bayle was rendered speechless by that statement.
Good grief, this vile capitalism…
Is having money so great?
Yes!
Having money is great.
Bayle sighed helplessly: “Actually, it’s nothing.” He lowered his eyes, his tone carrying a sense of helplessness that bordered on indulgence.
“My relationship with Ms.
Herta…
is a bit special.
It’s that kind of…
relationship.
You know how she forgets to eat and sleep whenever she starts researching something.” “But…
I’ve missed her quite a bit after not seeing her for a few days, so.” Asta’s mouth hung open in shock, and she almost forgot how to speak.
“Y-y-you…
you mean to say…
because you missed her, Ms.
Herta came all the way back from the edge of the galaxy just for you?” Bayle chuckled softly, neither denying nor confirming it.
Asta couldn’t help but cover her mouth.
“I’m sorry!
Lord Bayle!
I didn’t know you and Ms.
Herta had that kind of…
relationship.
Please forgive my offense!” The young girl panicked instantly.
She had originally thought that Bayle had some important business, or perhaps some project that Ms.
Herta was interested in, which was why she had been called back.
She didn’t expect it to be that kind of relationship!!!
But it made sense…
If it weren’t for that kind of relationship, Ms.
Herta would never have come all the way back to the Herta Space Station from the edge of the galaxy.
There was simply no need for it…
[ You brat, you’re playing word games with me!
It’s a good thing the effect is the same regardless, otherwise I would have wasted my points…
] [ It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter!
Isn’t this quite Elation?
Look, how interesting it is.
] [ Hahaha…
interesting, interesting.
Suddenly, he went from an intruder of the Herta Space Station to an honored guest.
This is interesting.
] [ What should we do?
Hahahaha, I’m already looking forward to the scene after Herta finds out.
] [ That must be a very interesting and romantic scene, right?
You think so too, don’t you?
] [ Tsk, can you speak properly?
Why does the way you talk sound so off?
] [ Don’t tell me what to do.
] [ Oh.
] “Shh?” Bayle placed a finger in front of his lips and chuckled.
“Not many people know about this.
I only told you because you’re the station master of the Herta Space Station.” Asta instantly wore an expression of having been entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
“Don’t worry!
I guarantee I won’t leak a single word!
You can rest assured about that!
It’s just that…” “Just that?” Asta rested her chin on one hand, looking somewhat annoyed.
“May I be so bold as to ask for your identity?
After all, Ms.
Herta is truly too outstanding.
I really can’t imagine what kind of person could catch Ms.
Herta’s eye.” “I don’t mean that you aren’t good enough, it’s just…
just…” Asta lowered her head, nervously tugging at the corner of her clothes.
Bayle understood what she meant and couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
“Indeed, if it were an ordinary person, Herta probably wouldn’t spare them a second glance, right?” He rested his chin on his hand, pretending to be indifferent, “Actually, I don’t want to talk much about my identity, but…
since you’ve asked, it would seem rude of me not to answer.” “Regrettably, given our current relationship, I can only tell you that I am an Emanator of Nihility.
Any more than that, it would be inconvenient for me to say and inconvenient for you to ask.” [ Damn it, he got to act all cool!
] [ Seeing him act cool makes me feel uncomfortable all over!
Damn it…
] [ I, on the other hand, find this unfathomable feeling of having others in the palm of one’s hand quite interesting.
I just wonder how long this little liar, Bayle, can keep it up?
How long until the lie…
is exposed?
] [ What are you all talking about?
Although we all know Bayle is deliberately letting Asta misunderstand his relationship with Herta, from start to finish…
he doesn’t seem to have lied?
If the truth really comes out…
] [ Then it would just be Asta misunderstanding his words, right?
] [ Interesting!
This is too interesting, hahahaha!!!
] [ So, when will that be?
I’m looking forward to it so much.
] “Emanator…
of Nihility…?” Asta repeated the words subconsciously, her mind buzzing.
Her first reaction was: Wow!
So he’s an Emanator!
No wonder he’s a match for Ms.
Herta!
Her second reaction: Wait a minute…
what Path???
Nihility???
Self-Annihilator???
Bayle didn’t wait long.
Seeing Asta stunned, he raised his hand and waved it in front of her.
When he saw Asta regain her senses, he smiled softly.
“Sorry, I don’t think I can help with the question you asked earlier.
Is there anything else?” Asta nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook her head.
“No, no!
I’m already very happy that you were willing to answer me!” “Hmm.” Bayle stood up and smiled lightly: “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be going…” “Bayle.” Bayle paused and turned around to see Herta sitting on The Scepter, holding a few sheets of paper in her hand, presumably some calculation reports or the like.
“What is it?
Herta.” Herta glanced at Asta, who was shocked for no reason, gripped The Scepter, and walked over to Bayle.
“Have you gone for a check-up?” “Not yet…” Herta placed something in his palm—a key: “Go now.
Come to my room when you’re done.” Asta:!!!
Bayle was stunned: “Is it that urgent?
I think…” “Cut the chatter.
Don’t make me wait too long.” Seeing Herta with her arms crossed, looking like there was no room for negotiation, Bayle sighed helplessly: “Alright, alright…
I’ll go now.
But, tonight I want…” “Fine,” Herta said directly.
Asta: Ahhhhh, I’m shipping it for real!!!!
Does anyone get it, guys?
The real deal isn’t even hiding it at all!
Ahhhhhh!!!
