『 [ Aventurine: Speak of the devil, look who it is—Sunday, Penacony's most handsome man! And the cosmic-renowned singer, Robin! ]
Aventurine looked at the newcomers and said in an exaggerated tone.
[ Robin: He says you're the most handsome man in Penacony, how interesting. ]
Hearing Aventurine's words, Robin chuckled teasingly, though her voice carried a hint of peculiarity.
This scene was witnessed by Welt and Himeko, who both felt that there was something slightly off about Robin.
[ Sunday: I apologize for the wait, Mr. Aventurine. Please, this way, let's speak in private. ]
Sunday ignored his sister's teasing and politely invited Aventurine to step aside for a private conversation.
Aventurine heard him and followed Sunday to the side.
[ Robin: Members of the Astral Express, please come over here and rest for a while. ]
After the two left, Robin began to usher the Express crew to the sofa to rest.
However, Stelle, being somewhat curious, walked over to Aventurine and Sunday.
[ Aventurine: Hey, friend, how are you? I was just joking earlier, I hope you don't mind. ]
Aventurine saw Stelle approaching and said with a smile.
[ Stelle: It's nothing, I don't mind. ]
Although Stelle was a bit surprised by Aventurine's attitude, she didn't care.
[ Aventurine: I apologize for my rudeness, take this, 10,000 Credits—a small, consider it my compensation. ]
Aventurine suddenly pulled out his phone, intending to transfer money to Stelle.
[ Stelle: Then I won't be polite! ]
Sticking to the principle of "don't waste a good opportunity," Stelle quickly pulled out her phone and accepted Aventurine's Credits.
[ Aventurine: That's right! No need to be strangers between friends. If you need anything, just say the word, I'll cover it all. ]
Aventurine was very pleased with Stelle's actions.
[ Aventurine: I have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. I'm sure we'll meet again soon. ]
After exchanging a glance with the silent Sunday, Aventurine began to bid farewell. Then the two left side by side. 』

March 7th: "HEY!! Stelle!"
March 7th: "I say, aren't you a bit too spineless?"
March 7th: "He was just giving us a hard time, and in a blink of an eye, you're chatting with him and even taking his money?"
March 7th looked at this scene and felt truly speechless.
Stelle: "Heh, what's new?"
Stelle: "You saw it too, he insisted on giving me money, it wasn't like I forced him, why shouldn't I take it?"
Stelle: "Besides, the company executives are all rich, a mere 10,000 Credits, it even makes him look stingy!"
Stelle couldn't agree with March 7th's words and stated that Aventurine gave too little, not even enough to fill a tooth gap.
Aventurine: "My apologies, friend, I had a small perspective."
Aventurine: "If fate allows us to meet again, I will definitely give you a sincere red packet."
Stelle: "Do we still need to meet again? Can't you give it to me now?"
Stelle: "My account number is xxxxxxx."
Stelle: "Rich guy, just casually give me a few million Credits first, let's see your strength!"
Aventurine: "..."
....
—✦In Between✦—
"A few million Credits? Heh, it seems Miss Stelle here is treating me as a sucker, an ATM."
"Never mind, never mind, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child, isn't it just a few million Credits? I'll give it. Anyway, it's just a drop in the bucket…"
Aventurine saw Stelle's words, first he gave a wry smile.
Then he really took out his phone, and started transferring money!
" Ding! Interastral Peace Bank Notification: "
" Your account ending in xxxx has received a transfer of 8, 888, 888 Credits! "
.. . ..
In the carriage, Stelle heard her phone ring, opened it, and immediately saw this message.
"Good HEAVENS!! I was just kidding! He actually transferred it?!"
Stelle was shocked by the message and couldn't help but exclaim.
"What?! He actually transferred money to you?"
"Oh my GOD!! It's over eight MILLION!! Is he crazy?"
March 7th heard Stelle's exclamation and immediately looked at her phone, only to find that Aventurine had actually transferred her a full eight million!
This was simply incomprehensible to her!
"Hahahaha. He's an honest man! March, the opportunity to get rich has come! You should hurry and ask too!"
Stelle happily put away her phone, then began to urge March 7th to follow her example, and ask Aventurine for money!
"What? I don't want to! That would be too spineless! I can't bring myself to do that!"
March 7th shook her head frantically, stating that she wouldn't accept such charity.
"Face?? How much is that worth? Forget it, if you're too embarrassed, I'm not, I'll ask for you!"
Someone was willing to give money but she wouldn't take it, Stelle thought March 7th was simply a silly fool.
So, with the thought of helping her good sister, Stelle went into action again, asking Aventurine for Credits.

Stelle: "Thank you, rich guy, for the generous red packet! May good people live long and safe lives!"
Stelle: "But I have a sister who lives a very difficult life, she can't even afford a hot meal a day, I hope the rich guy can support her!"
Stelle: "Bowing to the rich guy! Thump thump thump! (Kowtow.jpg)"
Stelle entered the live stream and quickly typed this message without even thinking.
Aventurine: "..."
Aventurine: "I…"
....
—✦In Between✦—
In reality, Aventurine looked at Stelle's message, veins throbbing on his forehead.
"Phew… Forget it, forget it, isn't it just money?"
"I have plenty of this stuff, I'll just give it to her! Anyway, she'll have to pay it back with interest one day!"
Aventurine took a deep breath, suppressing his irritable emotions, and then transferred another sum of money to Stelle.
" Ding, Interastral Peace Bank Notification "
" Your account ending in…. "
.. . ..
As a sound rang out, Stelle received Aventurine's transfer.
"Here it is! Here it is! Did you see it? I earned over eight million Credits for you! How are you going to thank me?"
Stelle transferred the money to March 7th, while looking at her with a beaming smile.
"Ah, this… did this person's money come from thin air? Just gives it away?"
"I say, won't there be any problems with you scamming his money like this? From the video, he doesn't seem like an easy person to deal with!"
March 7th looked at Stelle repeating her trick, feeling a bit worried.
This Aventurine was one of the "Ten Stonehearts" of that company.
Was his money really that easy to take?
"I know he's not an easy person to deal with!"
Stelle said indifferently.
"Then why are you still taking his money?"
March 7th was a bit confused.
"You overlooked a problem. If he's not an easy person to deal with, then am I?"
Stelle raised an eyebrow and retorted.
"???"
March 7th was a bit bewildered by Stelle's statement.
"No one is easy to deal with, so who's afraid of whom? At worst, if I ever see him again, I'll just run away."
"He can't chase me for money, can he? In short, the money in my hands is what I earned by my own ability! No one can take it away!"
Stelle looked disdainful, and her words were incredibly cocky.
"Alright, you're still the best, I surrender."
March 7th was helpless and could only give Stelle a thumbs up.
"So, how are you going to repay me? After all, with one move, I earned you over eight million Credits!"
Stelle looked at March 7th, her eyes full of expectation.
"You… what kind of repayment do you want? Let me say first, don't be too OUTRAGEOUS!!"
March 7th looked at Stelle's appearance and asked weakly.
"Haha, well, of course, when we sleep at night…. Tell me stories and lull(lullaby) me to SLEEP!!"
Stelle was grinning, hugging March 7th tightly and snuggling into her arms.
