Eri and Ophelia had been waiting for me in Lupus while I was waltzing around the continent. They would have liked to finally get out of this damn city, so it must have come off as exasperating hearing to my prospects.
But what else to do?
"If hero says so, I would gladly stay."
"It's fine. I'm myself, a bit reluctant to waste time travelling anyway. I'm in the middle of an important research work."
They showed no signs of discomfort. I could figure out Ophelia, but what about Eri? She was the one who always grumbled and nitpicked.
"If you say so, it must be pretty important, yes?"
