Aeon of Order: "They're camping the respawn point? The local Aeons have no manners!" (10K, Continued)

Jade reminded her.

"Mhm."

"Aren't you curious what price you'll have to pay to redeem your pawned item?"

Jade continued.

Her beautiful blue eyes carefully sized up the female Intelligent Machine before her, whose experiences could only be described as heaven-defying.

To be honest, Jade found this female Intelligent Machine somewhat strange.

But according to Judge Sparkle, the other party's stated wish had to be true, though she might have tampered with some details of her experiences.

That was hardly surprising.

As the finest lender, Jade knew that no customer's words could be trusted. Yet she had no choice, because the judge's space cut off the transmission of information.

Fine, fine. At worst, she would spend money to avert disaster.

"I'm not curious. She's very rich, and as long as the established facts are fulfilled, she'll definitely take responsibility for me!"

Sparkle declared with certainty.

"All right..." Jade placed the pink Elation potion in Sparkle's hand.

"The transaction is complete, yes?"

Jade turned to look at Judge Sparkle, seated upon the Golden Throne.

"Unfortunately... it has not been completed."

Judge Sparkle shook her head.

"...You mean she lied to me?"

Jade's gaze shifted back and forth between Judge Sparkle and the female Intelligent Machine.

"No, her wish is genuine. The transaction remains incomplete because your Elation potion cannot affect the man whom her friend wants to do whatever she pleases with."

"That's impossible! This potion can influence even powerful Self-Destructors. Unless he's an Emanator..." Jade's words abruptly stopped, and she looked at Sparkle in disbelief.

After seeing Sparkle nod slightly, Jade's heart, which had been hanging in the air, died all over again.

You fucking...

"If the person you chose was an Emanator, you should have said so! It's not like I don't have medicine that can affect Emanators."

Jade
