"Heh, heh, heh, the offering nominated by Lord Earthly Ghost... you will fuel the growth of the Nefarious Tiger King's apostle!"
Heloise maneuvered through the forest with agility. She calculated the youth's movements, leaping lightly from a branch, landing perfectly in front of the youth!
"Spiral..."
Just as Heloise was about to use her skill, she suddenly realised that the youth's hair was a shade of yellow-brown, which contradicted the description provided by Lord Earthly Ghost.
— (Strange, shouldn't his hair be black?)
Heloise quickly stopped the usage of her skill, while the youth managed to steer his horse around her.
"Excuse me, miss, is there something you need from me?"
The young man halted his horse, asking Heloise from a distance of about twenty to thirty meters.
"Uh... um..."
Heloise didn't expect to have made a mistake. She was momentarily at a loss for words.
"It... it seems the guidance of the stellar gods has had a small hiccup... unknown young man, you need not concern yourself!"
Feeling nervous, Heloise instinctively resorted to her usual way of speaking to diffuse the situation.
She also secretly felt relieved, grateful that she had stopped her action in time, otherwise, it would have been difficult to smooth things over.
The young man looked at Heloise with a tilted head.
After a while, he finally spoke, "Your dress is unbuttoned. Maybe you should fix it before we continue talking?"
"Huh? My button is undone?"
Heloise looked down and, to her horror, the sight that met her eyes was her own white, tender belly. She quickly turned around to fix her clothing.
"Damn it! I didn't expect the forest spirits to be so mischievous... they dared to make a fool out of the Nefarious Tiger King's apostle!"
Heloise was utterly embarrassed. As a member of the evilkinds, having her most vulnerable belly exposed to others was a deep humiliation!
She quickly recalled that she must have accidentally rubbed against a branch or something when she was moving through the forest earlier. No wonder she felt a cool breeze on her belly.
Now, since her belly had already been seen, Heloise had to... she simply had to...
— (I must display the terror of the evilkinds, so he won't dare to speak of this incident for the rest of his life!)

Tyler watched this girl named "Heloise," feeling puzzled by her previous statement and her current thoughts.
If he had encountered such a girl in the world of Earth, he would have definitely considered her a chunibyo.
However, in the world of Prison Star, what she said about the "Stellar Gods," "Forest Spirits," and the "Apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King" might indeed be true.
However, at the same time, the childish plot in Heloise's mind made Tyler feel that he might be taking her words too seriously.
Regardless, Tyler planned to continue the conversation with "Heloise," if not for anything else, then for her identity as the "Reserve Member of the Shadow Serpent Society" mentioned in her basic information.

Tyler recalled the previous encounter in Sunny Town with Splurt, who was a low-ranking member of the Shadow Serpent Society.
According to this ranking and considering the levels of strength, Heloise's position would be inferior to Splurt's.
If the Shadow Serpent Society had already discovered that Banning had killed Splurt and then dispatched someone even weaker than Splurt after him, then either there was an issue with the decision-makers at the Shadow Serpent Society, or there were hidden machinations at play.
Indeed, based on Heloise's recent inner monologue, Tyler could essentially determine that this young girl was indeed the assassin sent by the Shadow Serpent Society to kill him.
If he hadn't preemptively dyed his black hair to a brown color, they would probably already be in a fight.
Tyler, utilizing this point, preliminarily judged that Heloise might not be the intelligent type.
"Young man, the encounter of fate has already occurred. Now that you have witnessed the weak point of the Apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King, you can only live the rest of your life in endless pain (referring to having seen her white belly but not being able to tell anyone)!"
Heloise spoke, forcefully stomping on the ground, easily creating a pit of a meter in diameter, demonstrating her extraordinary foot strength.
"Uh? Weak point? You mean the part where I saw your belly? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Tyler activated his "Deceiver" skill, attempting to persuade this slightly off girl.
Before completely grasping her information, Tyler didn't quite want to engage her directly... because if things went wrong, the "Death Future" might involve him being killed by this "Heloise" through some special method.
"Hmm? Really? You really won't tell?" The girl became normal in her excitement.
"Truly, I swear to the Benevolent Deity."
Tyler mimicked the prayer gesture he saw in Sunny Town, making his oath with utmost sincerity.
Then, Heloise actually believed him.
"Heh heh, well then, the Apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King is willing to believe the believer of the Benevolent Deity... Thank the Nefarious Tiger King, young man, this is a hard-to-come-by absolution!"
Looking at this self-proclaimed impressive Heloise, Tyler felt somewhat upset.
He was upset because if he had really died at the hands of Heloise in the "Death Future", then his future self must be incredibly stupid.

After the crisis of the battle was averted, Heloise started talking to Tyler very naturally.
Tyler was all for it, as this was a great opportunity to understand her.
The only problem was that to understand what Heloise was saying, Tyler had to use his brain a bit more.
"Young man in the vortex of fate, my name is 'Heloise', also known as the 'Black Tigerwing'. I am a free warrior of the tiger race. May I know your identity?"
(Black Tigerwing?)
(Tiger race?)
Tyler noticed the key information in Heloise's words, he noted it down and answered her question first.
"I am called Felix, a bounty hunter who roams the four seas."
What Tyler said was his new identity from now on, to avoid the name "Banning" from continuing to spread.
"Felix, indeed a good name, quite the coincidence of fate. Have you heard of a young man named 'Banning'? He looks exactly like you, only his hair color is different. Just now, I mistook you for Banning, that's why I stopped you halfway."
Hearing this, Tyler was utterly convinced. This girl, Heloise, was indeed the assassin sent by the Shadow Serpent Society to kill him.
If it weren't for Tyler's hair dye and Heloise's not-so-great brain, they would probably be fighting already.
