"I'm here to let you know that I'll be away for a month. If you encounter any issues during this time, seek out your Eldest Brother,"
"What are you going to do? It's not going to be like the last time you left for several months, is it?"
Kiara still had a shadow hanging over her from the last incident.
Realizing Mario Yuno was shooting her a teasing look, Kiara hastily tried to cover up with an addition.
"I'm not worried about him, I'm just, just... I'm just concerned about my own studies being affected!"
Having said that, even Kiara herself felt it was a foolish thing to say; wasn't it obvious to everyone that she was indeed worried about him?
Fortunately, Yuzo Joel just smiled reassuringly and didn't expose the face-saving Kiara.
"I'll be back in a month this time. I'm going to attend a research seminar. The reason I called you here is to have you look at this."
