A little warning

After saying this, I started slowly heading towards the gate.

I had deliberately put us in the back since I had already expected something like this. I didn't want to be caught up in the crowd and forced to charge with them.

To our sides, there were other people who had done the same thing that were also slowly going at their own pace.

But it seemed like the senior brothers and sisters weren't satisfied with this.

Though they still slowly followed me out of the city gates.

I didn't say anything to explain even though I could see the looks on their faces.

It was only when we were out of the city that I finally said, "You're not happy about getting there late?"

The senior brothers and sisters were surprised to hear me ask this all of a sudden before awkward looks appeared on their faces. It seemed like there was something that they wanted to say, but they just didn't feel right about saying it.
