Could it be that you're angry because of this too?

"Speaking of which, I actually didn't know about your situation, Alice. It wasn't a deliberate concealment."
Gu Mo explained gently, looking seriously and sincerely into the eyes of the blond maiden before him, spreading his hands to express his helplessness.
"You should be able to discover it too. I only heard from Shinki a few nights ago, and the time you learned of this was completely in sync... Before that, I had no mental preparation for this aspect, just thought you were someone related to Shinki."
He was well-prepared for this question and knew Alice would certainly have resentment about it. Fortunately, in this regard, he still had room for explanation, for he truly hadn't imagined it at the time. He could only say he guessed the connection between Alice and Shinki but didn't guess the connection between Alice and himself...
——What a big surprise.
