"Ah?" Hearing Stelle sister's words, our Miss Asta was slightly slow to react. Although the girl was currently in a tipsy state at the moment, the numbing effect of alcohol on the human brain was indeed real.
This led to Asta not immediately grasping the meaning of Stelle sister's words for a moment.
"Ah? Um, yes, it is indeed a very important matter."
Saying this, Asta placed both hands on Stelle sister's shoulders, saying with a serious face.
"Stelle, have you completed that matter I entrusted you to handle?"
As Asta's voice fell, the air around the two instantly became quiet. Stunnedly listening to Asta's words, after a long while, our Stelle sister's forehead involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat.
The girl then remembered that before the train crew departed from the space station after resolving the Doomsday Beast last time, Asta had transferred several million credits to her, asking her to investigate something related to Yun Fan.
At that time, our Stelle sister naturally kept this matter in mind, but later on... to be honest, Stelle quickly forgot about it completely.
So, regarding Asta's commission, Stelle sister actually hadn't done a single bit of it.
Seeing Stelle sister's expression was off, the tipsy Asta slightly furrowed her brows, her gaze involuntarily wandering over Stelle sister, making the latter feel guilty and her body break out in cold sweat.
"Stelle..."
Asta eyed Stelle sister suspiciously for a moment.
"Could it be that the action funds I gave weren't enough? So you couldn't complete my commission?"
Stelle: ???
A face full of confusion, two faces full of confusion, multiple faces full of confusion...
However, before Stelle sister could snap out of her confusion, Asta, who felt she had grasped the truth of the matter, somewhat regretfully patted her own head.
"So that's how it is? This is my fault, Stelle."
Saying this, Asta's little hand quickly operated on her phone.
Immediately after, Stelle received a message from the Interastral Peace Corporation bank.
[Amber Era... 9:37:21, your account has received a transfer, transfer amount: 100,000,000 credits, current account remaining balance...]
Looking at the message on her phone, Stelle sister incredulously widened her mouth. What had she seen? This was 100 million credits! Even if she were sold, it seemed she wouldn't be worth that much money.
It must be known that credits were issued by the Interastral Peace Corporation and were a currency with wide recognition throughout the galaxy.
It could be said without exaggeration that 100 million credits were entirely sufficient to let an ordinary person live without worry for food and clothing for ten lifetimes.
And Asta could transfer such a large sum of money to her without batting an eye, which was enough to show her tycoon level.
'Pa—!'
With a pa sound, Stelle sister directly gripped Asta's hand tightly, looking at the other with eyes gleaming with gold stars.
"Rest assured, Miss Asta, I will definitely investigate Yun Fan's true identity for you!"
— — — —
"Achoo!" ×2
At this moment, whether it was Yun Fan's main body on the Xianzhou Luofu or Yun Fan's clone on the planet of festivities Penacony, both simultaneously and coincidentally sneezed at the same time.
"What's going on? This time, which guy is thinking about me?" Yun Fan rubbed his somewhat sore nose, muttering to himself.
"I always feel like there's some treacherous subject trying to harm me... Whatever, I'll slightly activate the authority of causality and see who it was just now that dared to badmouth me."
With this thought, Yun Fan's thoughts dispersed outward. In an instant, the long-dormant power of causality surged forth from Yun Fan's body once more.
"All destinies are within causality!"
Yun Fan activated the Aeon authority, and in an instant, the Aeon status manifested.
"So that's it, it's Stelle sister... Heh, since you little girl dared to badmouth me behind my back, when I return to the train, you'll obediently serve as my maid for a while."
Having thus passed judgment on Stelle sister, Yun Fan focused his gaze particularly on Asta. The authority of causality could deduce all things, calculate all things, and even predict all things.
Therefore, Asta's little bit of little thoughts could not escape Yun Fan's method.
"I didn't expect her to recognize me so quickly? Clearly, when I had her step onto the Path of Causality back then, I only dispatched a projection. Thinking about it, this little girl's abilities aren't bad; she actually guessed right onto me at once."
"Quite interesting indeed."

"Miss Asta, wake up. Miss Asta, wake up..."
In Asta's room, Stelle sister speechlessly pushed her own 'boss's' shoulder.
Although Himeko had poor tolerance for alcohol, our Miss Asta similarly wasn't much stronger.
Just now, when the other was talking with her, she was already in a tipsy state, and now, the other had directly hugged her arm and fallen into a deep sleep, where was the demeanor of a wealthy young lady?
Stelle sister tried to wake Asta, and even after using several methods, the other still clung to her arm like a koala.
Of course, Stelle also tried to pry her hand open, but...
The more she did so, the tighter Asta hugged.
Helplessly, our Stelle sister could only lean against Asta's bed, and the two girls lay together on this soft bedding.
"Wu~!"
Asta was indeed a little rich girl; even in the space station's bedroom, she had furnished a soft luxury large bed.
Just how comfortable was this large bed? As soon as our Stelle sister lay down, she felt a wave of fatigue and drowsiness assail her, and after a few seconds, her eyelids began to fight.
After another dozens of seconds or so, the girl directly sank into dreamland. Just like that, Asta hugging Stelle sister's arm, the two shared the bed in sleep.
The next day...
"Ah... my head hurts a bit." Himeko slightly furrowed her brows, then rubbed her brow center, appearing like one with a typical hangover.
Herta Space Station, at the spacecraft reception docking area, the Astral Express was quietly parked here.
As the navigator, Himeko was currently listless; yesterday's drinking had given her a slight headache. Indeed, she had somewhat overestimated her own capacity.
"Navigator Himeko, please do not do such meaningless things in the future. Here, as the conductor, I must properly criticize you. Because of your hangover, the train this time..."
Pom-Pom lectured with reason and evidence, putting on an air of an old pedant.
"Because of your hangover, the train has to dock at the space station for an extra day; I hope such things won't happen again in the future!"
