Miss Kobayashi was especially happy that she had not misjudged him.
Miss Kobayashi asked with a smile:
"Then what did you say to them afterward? Did you refuse them outright?"
Hearing Miss Kobayashi's question, Uchiha Hiko smiled, released her hand, clasped his hands behind his back, and began pacing through the garden again.
Then he turned to look at her and continued:
"How could I have agreed to him outright? I still needed to find out how far their technology had developed, in case they advanced too quickly and caused us other problems later."
Hearing Uchiha Hiko's words, Miss Kobayashi nodded and looked up at him. Uchiha Hiko smiled and continued:
"Besides, I also figured out the relationship between those two aliens. In truth, I realized that they weren't from the same faction at all."
"Although they both lived on the same planet, even the aliens had factional struggles on their planet. Their Mother planet sent the two of them here this time to keep watch on each other, lest one of them become a traitor."
Listening to Uchiha Hiko, Miss Kobayashi immediately understood:
"So... you took advantage of the rift between those two to turn them against each other."
Hearing Miss Kobayashi's words, Uchiha Hiko merely smiled and said to her:
"You flatter me too much. I'm not that capable. Although I did intend to do that at first, those two idiots never gave me the chance to carry out my plan.
"After I refused them, they disregarded their own plan and attacked me directly."
Hearing Uchiha Hiko say this, Miss Kobayashi was startled. Although it was no secret that the Chakra energy in Uchiha Hiko's body was powerful, he was still the man she liked. If he had been attacked, there was no way she would not worry.
