Chapter 379 - 379: Even Miyabi!

"Ellen, can you tell me how you and Wise met?"

Astra asked with a smile that seemed to hide something beneath it.

"Huh? We just got to know each other by interacting. Why are you suddenly asking this?" Ellen replied with a hint of laziness.

"Oh, because I want to know what kind of relationship you and Wise have. After all, the boyfriend you talked about before seems very similar to Wise~"

Astra's words were quite dangerous, and even the upper half of her face looked a little gloomy.

Ellen couldn't help but fall silent at the sight.

'What should I do? My new best friend seems to be interested in my boyfriend too...' she thought helplessly.

"It's just as you think. He is my boyfriend."

Astra's hand instantly clenched, faint blue veins appearing on the fair back of her hand, but her face still held a gentle smile.

"Is that so? But I think... you could be mistaken, right? After all, Wise never told me about this~"

"Hmm, he didn't tell me before either."

Ellen nodded as she recalled a few unpleasant memories. Her words implied many things, but Astra obviously misunderstood them as Wise simply not having told Ellen about herself.

"Oh my~ In that case, that's really terrible. He was so intimate with me when we were together, and it turns out he already had you."

As Astra smiled, the corner of her eye twitched slightly, indicating that she was angry. If Wise couldn't explain himself properly, she definitely wouldn't let it go.

But what puzzled her was why Ellen looked as if nothing had happened.

This only made her more curious, causing her anger to momentarily take a back seat.

"Ellen, aren't you angry?" Astra asked, puzzled.

"Angry? Hmm... a little, I guess, since he didn't tell me beforehand."

"Wait, wait, Ellen, do you mean it's okay if he had told you?"

"Uh-huh~"

'What does "uh-huh" mean?! Is this something that can be resolved with an "uh-huh"?!'

Astra couldn't understand why Ellen was being so nonchalant about it. If he did this after they'd already confirmed their relationship, that was cheating.

A normal person would absolutely never forgive it.

If it were her, unless the person Wise cheated with was Evelyn, she would absolutely not let him off.

(T/N: Well... Guess what.)

"Ellen, don't you care about this?"

Astra really couldn't understand, so she asked again, but the answer she received was still Ellen's calm tone.

"Why should I care? There's no difference anyway. Besides, I can't stop him."

Moreover, Wise truly loved her, and since he never neglected her, she wasn't going to make a fuss over it.

"No difference? Can't stop him?" Astra repeated those words with a shocked expression.

"Yes, that's right. If I couldn't accept it, I would've left, but that would be terrible for me, so I stayed."

Ellen was referring to the fact that she would miss out on a lot of fun and love after leaving Wise, but Astra clearly misunderstood.

It would be terrible after leaving?

'Th-this is already a threat, isn't it?! Ellen is so powerful... no, Wise seems even more powerful!' Astra's mind was in turmoil.

Many violent scenes instantly flashed through her mind, with Ellen and Wise as the subjects.

'Wait, would Wise really do something like that? I'm not sure. It's better to ask again...'

After thinking this, she spoke.

"Ellen, does Wise often 'bully' you?"

Astra's question made Ellen pause. Then her face flushed slightly as she turned away, looking a little embarrassed.

"Well... not often, I guess. Sometimes once a day, sometimes once every two or three days..."

Ellen didn't interpret Astra's "bullying" in the literal sense of the word. After all, Wise's personality was so good, and he had always been gentle with her.

Therefore, she immediately understood Astra's "bullying" to mean "that." However, her admission and embarrassed expression only left Astra even more surprised and confused.

'Th-there really is? And it's so frequent?'

Astra was a little disbelieving. After all, during their time together, Wise had clearly been a very good man.

She really needed to ask Wise about this later, but for now, she'd see what Ellen said next.

"Ellen, have you never thought about resisting?"

"Re-resisting?" Ellen was a bit startled.

"Yes. After all, you're often treated like that. Although I know Wise is very strong, you're also quite powerful. Even if you can't handle it, you can find someone to help!"

"Find someone to help..."

Ellen immediately misunderstood again. She looked around, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, she spoke softly and shyly.

"Actually, there's no need for that. Sometimes Wise will intentionally let me win, and then, after I think I've really won, he'll laugh and turn around and... And I have looked for helpers, but it's still no use. After all, even Miyabi is no match..."

"What? Even Miyabi...!"

Astra's mouth instantly dropped open in surprise.

Miyabi was a famous Void Hunter.

Wise's strength was even greater than hers?

It couldn't be...

In an instant, Astra's mind began wildly fantasizing. For example, Wise and Belle were members of some organization, lurking in New Eridu and attempting to control the entire city.

No, perhaps this organization was even hidden in Sixth Street. After all, Eve had said before that the street was full of hidden specialists, and none of them were ordinary people.

Astra's surprised and thoughtful expression was noticed by Ellen, who didn't find it strange. After all, Wise would display his strength according to his opponent.

So, it was normal for someone to misjudge Wise's strength and be surprised that he had defeated Miyabi.

And at this moment, Astra secretly thought that something was wrong.

'Oh no, am I being targeted? That's right, after all, I'm both cute and talented. But when did this happen? Also, Wise actually used such an offensive on me. If Ellen hadn't told me all this, I would have "already" fallen.'

She then began wondering if she should tell Evelyn about it.

But Evelyn probably wouldn't be able to solve it, so should she just obey?

'Hmm~ Why do I feel a little excited? But if he can always maintain his current good attitude toward me, it doesn't seem impossible...'

Just as she was thinking this, a hand suddenly patted Astra's shoulder, immediately startling her.

"Ah, ah, ah... Mmph!"

Before she could scream, another hand quickly covered her mouth. Only then did she realize that the person standing in front of her was Wise.

"Astra, what's wrong? Did I scare you that badly?"

The gentle voice pulled Astra back from her fantasy and into reality. The kind, handsome, and worried Wise standing before her was completely different from the person she had just imagined.

"N-nothing! What's wrong?"

"Astra, quickly take out the Hemiola and check it. Don't just check that one master copy."

Under Wise's urging, Astra obediently took out the Hemiola.
