Hiro's eyes glimmered and he kicked up the gear a notch.
He wanted to change his style of speech and say, "We appreciate your enthusiasm."
This would be the tone of someone who represented not just a ruler or a royal family, but an entire empire.
However, this wasn't a suitable perspective in this context, so Hiro decided to hold back until Asmir grew tired of using the current figure of speech.
However, Hiro apparently thought too much of it because Asmir was too embarrassed to speak like this to him after she just learned about it.
Thus, Asmir returned to her usual tone of speech, albeit temporarily.
Her tone had a hint of a smile as she said, "Haha, I was serious about the reward I've promised you, little guy."
Hiro remained silent for a moment because he didn't know what type of a reward he should ask for.
