Five minutes later, his breathing finally turned steady and normal, however, now that he could breathe easily and since as a result of that, he was no longer feeling any pain, a strong sense of tiredness hit him, forcing him to have this powerful urge to sleep.
"Wake me up in twenty minutes… when it's the time of the final match." As his eyelids were already uncontrollably closing, with some difficulty, muttering this, Virus fell sleep.
"Okay, master…don't worry and rest well." Nodding her head, the golden beauty could only agree with a trembling chin.
'So… that ring comes with some penalties and strains on the body… well, that was to be expected since abruptly making a mortal that strong has to have its own side effects too!' Thought Astes while gazing at his eased up expression.
After he fell asleep, an awkward silence descended upon the room as both the golden beauty and Astes didn't know what to talk about anymore.
However, at last, as she found something which was truly making her curious since the moment she had realized it, Astes inquired, "Hmm… why did you call junior brother 'Master'?"
Hearing this question, the golden beauty's eyebrows perked up as she thought about what to say, however, in the end, she decided to tell the truth.
Well, at least, a version of the truth, "Why would I call master 'Master' if I'm not his servant?"
Astes was a little shaken hearing the response, but then, she said, "Then why did he say you're family to her? Hmm… no… he's not the kind of person that would say that kind of stuff just to a mere servant… you must be truly like a family to him… right?"
Blushing, a warm feeling rose in the golden beauty's heart as she voiced a little nervously, "Well… well, I… I guess you could say that."
Listening to her answer and the way she acted, a weird smile displayed itself on her face as if she had realized something, then she uttered, "Hmm… can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead.. if I can answer… I will." The golden beauty said blinkingly.
"Where are you two from?" Strangely, when she asked this question, it felt like she had changed into an entirely different person, as her eyes were even sharper than a needle.
Surprised by her question, the golden beauty who hadn't realized the transformation in her expression since she was looking at the sleeping face of her master, which was one of her most favorite things in the world, answered with her brows raised, "Ah… Sorry, I can't reply to that question."
"That's okay… then let me ask it in another way." Astes voiced, and by now, the golden beauty had already taken back her gaze as she was now directly looking into Astes' eyes, however, there was no such a deep light inside her eyes anymore.
"What is it?"
"Are you two… from outside this planet?" She asked another question, surprising the golden beauty once again.
"Why do you ask?" Said Bella, a little alert.
"Because… I'm sure there is no ring like that on this planet." Pointing at the ring on Virus' finger, she stated.
"In fact… I believe there's no such a ring outside of this planet either." Casually, she added further, 'Well, the ring must come from a very special place.'
Listening to her words, since the golden beauty herself was an extremely smart AI, with a tight-lipped smile she questioned, "The fact that you know about the whole planet is already very surprising in itself… but, knowing this kind of ring doesn't exist even outside of this planet… how do you know that? Who are you?"
"Well… everyone has their own secrets they don't want anyone to find out… and this has to do with that secret of mine… so, sorry, but I can't reply to that question of yours." Astes replied while shaking her head.
"Well, it's the same for me, so I won't be able to provide an answer to that inquiry of yours either, sorry." The golden beauty too uttered while shaking her head, however, then she added, "But, I'll answer one question of yours…"
Then, without any pause, she further said, "Yes… we're not from this planet… moreover, we'll probably leave soon. So, say your farewells to master while you can…"
Hearing this response which she wasn't expecting at all, shock and other mixed emotions appeared on Astes' face as she mumbled, "Junior brother… Vee's… leaving?"
She didn't know why, but the thought of him leaving made her sad and filled with sorrow for some reason.
"Where…? When??" Then, she asked anxiously.
"Sorry, can't reply to that either… just know that we're leaving the planet… to a very far away place… hmm, no… actually… it's very close… no matter how far! Yep, that sounds more accurate." A very contemplative expression sat on the golden beauty's face as she uttered these words which seemed truly incomprehensible to Astes.
"Anyway, you wouldn't understand, just know that it's a place you'll never be able to reach." She concluded
Even though she was extremely confused by her words, another matter was also occupying her mind, so with her lips pressed together, she inquired, "Why are you telling me this?"
Without any pause, Bella uttered, "I'm telling you this because I can feel that you're not trying to harm us and you were very kind to us since day one… though the most important reason is that I can feel you care about master, that's all."
After that, silence loomed over the room as a single thought kept repeating itself inside Astes' head, 'Very close… no matter how far??? What's that even supposed to mean?'
However, no matter how hard she tried to think of a place that was despite being very far, it was also extremely close at the same time…
In the end, even after searching through all of her memories, she couldn't think of a single location which matched that description.
After that, time passed while the two girls talked from time to time. And as a result of that, the two girls became even closer as they came to know each other a lot better than the past.

Twenty minutes later, it was finally the time for Virus to wake up, so with knitted brows, she went beside Virus as she gently called him, "Master… it's been twenty minutes… wake up."
"…"
A few seconds passed but there was no response from Virus, so she tried again for the second time, but this time was just as fruitless as before.
So, finally, left with no choice, she raised her right hand as she gently placed it on her master's sleeping body.
After that, she was just about to tenderly shake him, when abruptly, an extremely alert Virus opened his eyes as he pulled her with all his might on the ground, as he ascended above her and gripped her neck with both of his hands!
As a result of that, the golden beauty was now laying on the floor with a red face while Virus was sitting on top of her with his hands on her neck.
"Jun... Junior brother! What are you doing!! Get off of Bella! She was just trying to wake you up!" Astes yelled with her eyes wide open in astonishment and shock.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
