"Sorry for dragging you into this."
"It's okay... It's partly my fault too."
After dealing with the police and their questioning, we were let go fairly quickly thanks to the live stream that had captured the whole incident. Originally, I had planned to train Asakawa-san today, but since it was already getting late, we decided to postpone it for another day.
Even though Asakawa-san might have been the initial reason Kurihara-kun started picking on me, I think the real cause was my repeated refusal to meet him afterward. Skipping those meetings, even if I had valid reasons like being called away by Asakawa-san or dealing with the dungeon emergency, wasn't something I should just brush off.
"So, um... Is everything okay with the stream?"
"Huh? Oh... Well, it's already out there, so I guess it doesn't really matter anymore."
