*Alfred/X's Pov*

As the look of shock disappeared from Lia's eyes, replaced with a confused one, I received an alert.

[Ding! Special Assigned Mission: Be Starfire's servant for the duration of one mission world. Completed! Rewards: Freedom to continue missions in other worlds.]

'How harsh. Not even a single experience point?'

[Well, it was meant to be more of a punishment than a way to get experience. You offended the Head after all.]

'Mhm.' I couldn't even start any new mission and had to wait in that boring space until a good situation arose that I could be Star's servant. 'At least it wasn't too bad. I got to have fun in a game world with some lovely entertainment curtsy of Head's precious gift.'

[... I suppose so?]

"Alfred?" Lia- the actual Amelia this time- wrote, as though trying to test her memory.

'This is when you get me out of here, 002.'

[Of course Master.]

[Removing Host's soul... 50%... 80%...]

I simply smiled at Lia, not answering her questioning tone. As fun as it was being a 'servant', I quite prefer only having one lady to please. 

[Ding! Host's soul successfully removed]

Let the real Alfred deal with this while I'll deal with Star.



*Starfire's Pov*

I laid on the bed, looking up blankly for a while. "He called me Star," I finally voiced out my thoughts but Little que stayed silent.

"Alfred was a fellow host, wasn't he?" I asked and he nodded... a bit too calmly, "Did you know before?"

[I wasn't really paying attention so...]

"Oh really?" My voice lacked any emotion. 

[... Sorry, St- Host. I only found out after asking the higher-ups.]

I didn't even bother correcting him to call me by my name. "And yet you didn't tell me. So who was it?"

[I'm sorry host...]

"What? You can't tell me his name?" 

[...]

"..."

[It's X. The host you met at the system party]

"Him? What's the connection between him and I for him to join my mission world?"

[Technically... it isn't against the rules to go to the same world as another host]

"Don't play around with me 001." I could very audibly hear him suck in his breath at his name but I continued on emotionlessly, "We both know there is no way he would be so closely connected to me and know which host I was in that world if there was nothing wrong." 

[Host...] Little Que's voice quivered a bit in my head and his human teenage form materialised beside the bed. I turned my head over to look at his cowering form. I wonder if my eyes are betraying my emotions... just like he betrayed me.

"Star I'm so sorry. I didn't want to hide it from you." he looked at me pleadingly, walking near before stopping. His hands twitched slightly as he stared at me, clearly trying to be delicate and seeking permission to come closer to me. Permission that I didn't give him.

"Tell me, what is the connection between him and I for him to join my mission world?" I repeated, sitting up on the bed as I rested on the backrest instead, making no indication to come closer to him as well.
