Shinkou looks at Astri and can notice that she's hiding something, so he wants to make her say what she's hiding from him because he doesn't want to risk himself on something that looks too good to be true.
"Why don't you want to call attention? I understand that this is very valuable knowledge, but you could be the richest female. You could go to the Emperor and sell your knowledge to him, and he would pay anything you want." Shinkou asks.
"He's right. The Emperor could give you the ship you want." Kenzou says to Astri.
"Why do you want a ship?" Shinkou asks, curious and wondering about the reasons for that new information he just got accidentally.
Astri thinks deeply and tries to understand what Nature's telling her for some seconds. They feel the wind around, but only Kenzou can understand that Nature is communicating with her, and he's impressed watching that.
"Maybe you're right.. Is he going to let me go even knowing I'm a female with knowledge?" Astri asks.
