The space around Kyle and Swamp Dragon solidified again, and they found themselves in a building.
The ceiling of the room mimicked a beautiful night sky with several stars shining through the nebulae.
The walls were a dark blue and had several diagrams on them, including the diagram of the Array of Stars.
"Welcome to the Array of Stars, my lords," someone said as they appeared in front of them.
When Kyle looked at the person who had appeared, he was a bit surprised.
It was a beautiful woman, but that was not the surprising thing.
The surprising thing was that she had the aura of a True Crusher.
And yet, she had called them lords.
Another interesting thing was her outfit.
She wore the uniform of the Array of Stars, which consisted of either a long dark blue dress or a dark blue shirt with dark blue pants.
However, instead of the symbol of the Array of Stars that every uniform had, the symbol on her uniform only had the outer three rings, making the symbol seem rather incomplete.
"Please," Swamp Dragon said, "you are far more powerful than we are. We should be referring to you as senior. We are not your lords."
The girl just smiled politely. "You should not refer to me as senior," she said. "You are part of the Array of Stars. I am not. I'm merely acting as a guide, servant, and assistant."
'Ah, she's a temp!' Kyle thought. 'Makes sense. Would be weird to dump administrative work onto the members.'
"Strength is absolute," Swamp Dragon said. "As a stronger Seeker, you are worthy of our respect."
"Swamp Dragon, you're making things difficult for her," Kyle said.
Swamp Dragon looked at Kyle with a raised brow.
How would being respectful make things difficult?
"She probably has orders to treat us with respect. Being polite is good and all, but if you keep referring to her as senior, her employer might reprimand her."
Kyle looked at the woman. "That's just an assumption. If that's incorrect, feel free to correct me."
The woman just smiled. "Upholding proper etiquette is part of my duties. Please, refer to me as Assistant."
Swamp Dragon realized what was going on and sighed a bit.
His morals told him that he should respect a strong Seeker, but he also knew that paying too much respect might make things difficult for Assistant.
"Then, I must apologize for my rudeness and refer to you as Assistant from now on," Swamp Dragon said.
"Thank you," Assistant said with a polite smile. "Am I correct in assuming that the two lords just came from the Star Seeking?"
"Yep," Kyle said casually.
Swamp Dragon nodded as well.
The woman took special note of how Kyle acted. ππ£πππππππΌππ²πΉ.ππ π
On Earth, Kyle's conduct would have been very normal. Most people would talk very normally to a temp. Their wording and tone wouldn't be different as if they were talking to a proper colleague. It was just basic respect and politeness.
Just another human earning a living.
But in this part of the Array of Stars, this kind of conduct was rare.
Most members were like Swamp Dragon. They saw a stronger Seeker and showed their respect.
