Shadow Slave

Chapter 785

As Sunny bitterly explored the damage done to his entertainment system by the strange… malfunction… Nephis silently watched him from her stool.

"Doesn't make sense… gone, the projector is completely gone... it was so expensive!"

After a while, he turned to Changing Star with a miserable expression and opened his mouth, then frowned in confusion.

"Wait… is that my shirt?"

Neph shifted a little and then said, her voice even:

"I don't have any clothes."

Sunny stared at her for a few moments, then waved a hand and looked away, forgetting what he was going to say.

"Never mind. You can keep it. We can also order a delivery of anything else you need. I am an incredibly rich entrepreneur, you know!"

He paused, then added with a bit of embarrassment:

"Well, I used to be rich, anyway. These days, I pretty much spend everything on… research."

She tilted her head a little, then suddenly said:

"...The girl you're tutoring visited."

'What?!'

Pretending to be nonchalant, Sunny glanced at Nephis and answered in a neutral tone:

"Oh? Strange. We weren't supposed to have any lessons until a few days from now."

Neph remained silent for a few moments, then looked away with a smile:

"She is a bright kid. I'm glad you are teaching her."
