Arriving Home

Not waiting for Izumi-senpai's reply, I made my way out after checking that Shio's car wasn't parked there anymore.

In the end, I gave my target a piece of advice.

Let's just say it's part of the plan. Otherwise, I would just straightforwardly reject that offer of hers.

Ah. Either way, the meaning was still the same. I couldn't accept her offer. More than I want to steal her, the desire to be closer with Arisa-senpai bested that.

Nonetheless, it's not like I would give up if she distanced herself from me and pulled Arisa-senpai to do the same.

It's something within my expectation.

From that report of hers, she decided to continue being my Mentor. I just didn't know if it would change now that I rejected that.

In any case, let's just leave it at that. I still have a pile of issues that need my attention.

And one of the most important was my path to continue progressing for that future.
