He watched the Butterfly expressionlessly:
"Why hasn't it exploded yet?"
The Butterfly's face stiffened, muttering with some disbelief:
"Did you actually infuse it with mana?"
Matthew raised an eyebrow:

The Butterfly said sheepishly:
"Alright then."
"It seems you truly are not afraid of the star core exploding."
Matthew shrugged his shoulders:

"I also know that you wouldn't design a startup mechanism so prone to accidental activation."
"Of course, I'm not afraid of it exploding right now either..."
The Butterfly stared deeply at Matthew.
These last few sentences were loaded with a lot of information—
That not only did Matthew have a way to preserve himself from the explosion of the Ether Star Core but he might even be capable of controlling the extent of its explosion.
This added a certain unusual luster to the Butterfly's eyes.
