Negotiation

After Nori's interruption with borrowing money, Yuka felt a bit relieved from all these messy issues. 

However, when she slipped out of the underground arena, walked onto the street, and touched the opticomputer in her pocket, she suddenly remembered the grudge between Ayoi and Alex, and her mood became heavy again. 

Yuka was never one to run away. She opened the chat with Ayoi and asked while walking to the hotel, "How's everything?"

It wasn't until Yuka returned to the hotel and sat on the big bed in her room that Ayoi replied, "It's fine now!"

Ayoi was a person that couldn't keep things to herself for long. As soon as she walked out of the underground arena with Alex, she couldn't help but tell him about Bartland and her parents' death. 

Alex was stunned at first, and after seeing Ayoi's anxious expression, he told Ayoi that he knew.
