My excuse was a little different.
It was more along the lines of, 'I'm worried about her going by herself. I'll check up on her.'

Spotting Evelyn was also not hard.
All I needed to do was use [Mana Sense], and I was able to find her location rather quickly.
But when I had drawn near her, the words that I heard coming from her mouth made me pause.
"...I-I... was useful."
"I... think I'm the only one who is capable of resolving this entire situation. This... is the very first time for me."
