The Alchemist's Turn

(MC POV)

It seems like it was Brendan's turn today and he seemed especially nervous for some reason.

"Umm… You don't have to be that nervous you know? It's not like this would be our first time going out."

"No, Master… I'm just… Umm… Nevermind…"

He looked back at the building the girls were in before scratching his neck nervously.

I noticed that and frowned slightly, "Did something happen between you and the girls?"

It would be an issue if the girls were picking on Brendan for whatever reason. I don't condone bullying ok?

I clasped his shoulder with a hand, "Brendan, if the girls are bullying you, let me know ok?"

"Eh? Ah, don't worry Master. I'm not being mistreated by them. I'm just worried about them right now."

"Hmmm? Did something happen?"

"Umm… I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to say it but… I guess something just didn't go according to what they hoped for and they were a little bit upset…"
