"A-are there any further questions so far?"

In an attempt to divert attention from the topic of her crush on Adonis, Mi'ja quickly changed the mood back to an official one.

Her stuttering and overtly flustered expression still made it clear that she was simply hiding from her feelings, though.

"Questions?"

"Y-yeah. I mean, I've shown you the Hall, so if there are no questions… we'll move on to the next place on our list." Mi'ja replied with a rather daring smile.

As Class Rep, it was ultimately her decision to escort the two out of them out of the Hall and completely change the kind of conversation they could have.

Thankfully, Lucielle took the hint and decided to stop teasing Mi'ja.

Instead, she went for a rather surprising question.

One that not even Rey predicted—though it was something he had been thinking about, even at that very moment.

"What are your thoughts on humans?"

The moment this question echoed into the air, some kind of tense silence suddenly enveloped everything around the three.

It felt heavy.
