”I'll be frank and ask you directly. Master, do you like me?”, Nao asked with a serious look in his eyes.

Hearing Nao ask that all of a sudden, the Supreme Kai of Time stared at him for a couple moments before her cheeks reddened.

”W-W'-What is this about liking anyone!?”, the Supreme Kai of Time couldn't help but jump back a bit, blushing by Nao's sudden question. She even stuttered a bit, it was very cute to Nao's eyes.

Aht also blinked at her before she hopped on the ground, causing some noise to echo from her hooves. A grin then appeared on her face.

”So you do like Nao after all, hehe.”, Aht chimed in with a cheerful voice.

”I do not! I'm just his master, nothing more, nothing less!”, the Supreme Kai of Time denied Aht as she said that.

Yet Nao didn't take that to heart one bit. Her reactions have been increasingly suspicious throughout the last few decades he had spent with her, and seeing that he could only sigh in his heart. He became more serious and got off the bed after making sure Sayuri was sleeping peacefully.

The Supreme Kai of Time saw this and despite her usually cheerful attitude, she couldn't help but back away a couple steps every time Nao took a step forward. Nao chuckled seeing this.

”If you're just my Master, then why are you acting like this?”, Nao said as he slowly pushed her toward the nearby wall. It didn't take long before the Supreme Kai of Time to feel something hard press against her back. It was none other than the white wall.

With nowhere else to run, she could only speak out to him.

”Nao, you're the one acting strange! You better stop doing this or I-I won't let you step foot in my domain anymore!”, the Supreme Kai of Time yelled out.

”You know, Master, the more you dodge this the more suspicious you become. What's troubling you from staying true to your heart?”, Nao couldn't help but ask with a serious look.

Hearing Nao ask that, a wave of emotion struck against her heart. Tears started to form in her eyes and they fell down her cheeks. She collapsed onto her legs in front of him and began crying.

”H-Hick...I-I just can't! I don't want these feelings! It doesn't matter if we're master or disciple, I'm a goddamn Supreme Kai with my own domain to look after!”, the Supreme Kai of time cursed out.

”So?”

”So what!? Don't you get it!? I'm not like that princess of yours! I'm bound by duty! I can't be by your side no matter what you do!”

”Both Elsa and Eir were bound by their duties, both being a Princess and Queen respectively. Yes they did have much smaller domains than the domain of time you rule, but they were able to pass their roles down to their next generation. It's not like you're the only Supreme Kai out there, Master.”

”!!!”, she couldn't even utter a word as shock appeared on her face after hearing Nao say that, which halted her tears dropping down. Seeing this, Nao took this opportunity and grabbed her chin, clasping it in his right hand. He then spoke out to her with a serious tone again.

”So I'll say this again, Master. Do you like--no, do you love me, as a man?”

Seeing Nao be forceful in this situation surprised Aht quite a bit as she watched this scene occur. But it couldn't be helped since the Supreme Kai of Time was being very dodgy with this. Amus.e.m.e.nt could be seen in her eyes, waiting for her answer. Even though she was denying it with words, she could tell that the Supreme Kai of Time liked him. Quite much at that.

”N-Nao, you better stop this! If you do I'll forget everything that happened right now and we can still go back to a normal master-disciple relationship!”

”That's not what I want to hear, Master. Please, I don't want any pain to befall you if you miss your chance in doing this. It won't be much longer...”, Nao said as he closed his eyes, as if he drifted off into his imagination.

”H-huh?”, the Supreme Kai of Time asked as confusion appeared in her eyes. She still stuttered even though Nao currently clasped her chin in his hands. She blinked for a couple moments before worry appeared in her eyes.

”Why does it sound like you're about to die!?”

It was now Nao's turn to remain silent for a couple of moments after hearing the Supreme Kai of Time suddenly yell that out in worry. It ended with him letting out a laugh, causing her face to blush. He opened his eyes back up. She looked quite cute with her cheeks scrunched up by Nao's hands.

”Did you really thought I was going to go into those fights with the intent to die? Sadly, that is not the case. This was a trial set for me to complete. I said it like that since I plan to travel other worlds with the girls. You remember our long talk with the Grand Minister about the concept of the Multiverse, right?”
