The Goddess of Space let out a long, weary sigh. No matter how much she turned the puzzle over in her mind, she wouldn't reach an answer right now.
Even if she pressed Luca further, he'd just keep his mouth shut, to her endless frustration.
The mortal was infuriatingly good at deflecting when he wanted to be.
So she made a decision. She would simply push the matter away and think about it later. There were more pleasant things to focus on at the moment.
Instead, a serene, playful smile spread across her divine features. She slowly leaned forward in her chair, her eyes sparkling with anticipation as she regarded the hero before her.
"Say, Luca."
Her voice carried a teasing lilt.
"Would you like to hear about your reward now?"
Luca blinked.
For a second, he simply stared at her.
Then his eyes widened.
"...Reward?"
"I get a reward?"
The Goddess couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction.
"Of course you do."
She folded her arms proudly.
