Shanny who came to talk to Aether suddenly asks Aether how did he turn so fast...It seems like she concealed her presence. I think she wants to see something and concealed her presence on purpose. Is she suspecting something?
Aether who heard that looks at her and with a calm voice like he knows what's he doing replied "What's the point of concealing your presence if you are gonna step on the shattered pieces of my creation?" Aether pointed his fingers down at her foot...Shanny turned her down slowly getting embarrassed by a first-year boy and yes it seems like she really has stepped on the remaining pieces of Aether's mechanisms.
She quickly puts one of her hands on her head and says "Hahaha, it seems like that,"...It was obvious that she was toasted. " Gosh! It's embarrassing, so much for concealing my presence. Besides why did I even conceal my presence? Arghh!." Shanny murmured to herself and it seems like she neither forgot nor don't know why she concealed her presence at Aether...
Aether with a smirk on his face replies "Heh! it's obvious that you are embarrassed, it's written all over your face and yes even your facial expression shows it too." Aether really toasted her and smiled, Aether also murmured "Hehehe, it's really nice to toast her for a bit but that was really close, I didn't hear anything when she was walking in, even the shattered piece that she steeped on didn't make any sound, it's just that I sensed her coming behind me." Then Aether asked Shanny what she wanted to talk about to Aether...
Shanny who was with a toasted face snapped and "Ohh I am sorry, I forgot for a moment why I am here. Anyway, firstly I am sorry about Luke's behaviour towards you today, he is a stubborn guy and I am pretty sure he forced you to do this." Shanny just apologises for Luke's stubbornness and Aether's reaction was like..."Huh! is this what she wanted to talk about?," Aether stands up while wiping the dirt in his hands..."I don't mind, besides I also want to see how much strong your chosen ones are too."
Shanny who listened to that smirks and asks Aether "Hehe, we are strong right?." She said that with a proud face and yeah it was funny and childish to see too...Aether wriggled his head around and his reply was "Who knows?". Shanny's proud face turned into disappointment and she murmured "I am sure everyone acknowledges us, is he really not acknowledging us?"
"Pfft, fine don't put that face, you are all strong, no cap." Shanny smiles and Aether asks her is there anything else she wants to say to him..."The next is you need to tell us the compensation we need to pay you for using your mechanisms. We know that it's hard to build mechanisms so we already arranged to pay you for using them."
Shanny says her second reason is and Aether became silent for a moment and turned his head down...Shanny thinks that he is angry because she says she will pay him for using his mechanism and she reacted "A-Aether?". Just as she walks towards him suddenly Aether lift his head up and "Ahh, so bright, what is happening?"
Aether when he lifted his face up his eyes were dazzling as if he's eyes were shining brightly...With a happy face "Ohhh really! well, it would be my pleasure to receive the contributions." Shanny was wrong... he isn't mad about it, in fact, he was the happiest person alive right now."Oh! so I was wrong, he did that because he was excited." Shanny murmured while putting her hand on her face.
"Then, let me know afterwards when you already decided okay," Aether nods his face which was full of excitement, all the remorses and saying he was weak and all disappeared the moment the word compensation was mentioned...Just as she was planning to leave, she peeks at the ground which was dust and scattered pieces everywhere. She taught that Aether was staying behind to clean all of this...so she asked Aether that she would help him In cleaning.
"Cleaning," Aether looks at the ground and "Sure I will be happy,". Aether also murmured " Hehe, I was planning to clean later but she offered her hands to clean, so why to reject it, hehe...Aether was giving of evil like face and Shanny was getting chills over there too...
Then both of them started cleaning the ground...It was really awkward since they didn't talk or don't have anything to talk about. Both of them cleaned the ground silently at a point where Aether was pissed and started raising a question "Ohh! it seems like the vice president can clean too ahh." With a smirk on her face, she lets out "I am a girl besides being a mage you know, I do clean, beside you are also good in these things too!". Shanny stares at Aether and whispered to herself " He is doing the cleaning more fluently than I, hmph how is that possible, I won't let you win." An intense cleaning was started and Aether was confused about why she was doing like that but it's speeding the cleaning process so Aether didn't interfere...
After quite some time Aether ask Shanny something "Can I ask you a question senior?" Aether asks while cleaning and without stopping Shanny also says "Finally, what is it?" Shanny sighed and mumbled, "Man that was going really awkward again."
Aether casually asked something "I thought I was overthinking, but is there something wrong with the president and his mana beast?". Shanny was stunned for a second and she stopped cleaning or more like finished and she asks " What makes you ask like that?".
"Well, I feel like...they don't have good connections between them."
"Who on earth will ask his own familiar to do dirty things like attacking someone, unless he is a villain and clearly he is not," Aether mumbled to himself.
"Well, I guess there won't be a problem telling you this." Both of them started chatting after they finished cleaning...
