Before Hans had a chance to say anything, Kael spoke first:
"Wait, if you want to ask who she is, how we met, whether the feelings are mutual, and other such nonsense questions, then don't."
Only then did the protagonist come back to his senses.
But at the same time, he heard those words.
"Eh… Why? Aren't we friends?"
Those words were like thunder in his ears.
"We are indeed friends, as for the reason…"
There were many.
"The first is that it's very troublesome."
"Then the second?"
"The second is because she's so amazing, to the point that I don't know what words to use to describe her gorgeousness."
His sapphire eyes did not stop on Hans.
But somewhere far away.
Where Evelyn was.
"So when can I meet her? Will she climb the Tower with us?"
Hans continued.
"Um… she will, but it will probably be a while."
"Why?"
"Because she said she wanted to finish her studies first."
"Huh?"
Hans blinked a few times.
The protagonist's surprise was evident in every gesture.
