Until the communication ended, Angel did not give Muse a definite answer.
He didn't know how long he would stay in Black Castle, although Hua Que was very confident she could research the Transforming Soft-bodied Insect, but as for how long it would take, Angel wasn't sure, and Hua Que couldn't give a specific time either.
Therefore, he didn't dare give a definite reply.
However, Angel didn't close off all paths either.
Once he finished affairs at Black Castle, he indeed needed to visit Sky Mechanical City, after all, his brother was still there. If he returned early, he could take up the task along the way, treating it as for the sake of Research and Development Institute's points. If he couldn't make it, then there was no helping it.
After Muse heard this, she just smiled and said, "Then I look forward to your early return. As long as the Nova Contest hasn't ended, I will reserve a spot for you. Consider it a benefit of you joining the Research and Development Institute~"
