Finally, we reached one of the mini-game spots. Although I wasn't a fan of these activities due to their low rewards, Arnold invited me, and I didn't have a reason to decline.
Taking a moment to relax seemed like a good idea after the tension of recent events. I needed a break from thinking about Ara.
I took a deep breath, and Arnold seemed to notice. He remarked, "Are you still bothered by last night or what I said to you before you got drunk?"
I chuckled a bit, "Actually, both."
"Hmm... Both will remain mysteries from now on." Arnold gripped my shoulder. "Get used to a life of ignorance."
"Wait! Which one am I supposed to be ignorant about? Ara or my drunkenness?" I asked genuinely, but Arnold had already joined the mini-game.
"Damn, he did that on purpose, huh?" I muttered, feeling annoyed. I turned to Verple and asked, "Do you know what happened when I was drunk?"
