Raviel nodded after listening to my desperate explanation.
“I see. There was a minor misunderstanding.”
We were in a fast food restaurant. I wanted to go into a cafe if possible, but the time setting of The Story of the City of Ascension: Side Story was in the past, way before cafes became popularized. Unfortunately, there were not many places where we could go to have a conversation.
