章 375: Chapter 375 - Masking the Sadness with Laughter

Leon ended the call with Subaru and turned back to Hazel, who was still smiling at him.

"Is it time for you to go?" she asked.

"Yes, but actually… I have about an hour before I need to log into the game."

Hazel nodded. "I see. Let's finish the food, and then we can head back to the Home Bus," she said, then hesitated for a moment before continuing. "Uh… would you mind if I came along?"

"No… it's fine, as long as you're okay with being there alone for a bit."

Hazel nodded enthusiastically. "I have dinner plans with my mom later," she said, pausing for a moment, her expression growing even more excited. "I'm really happy and have been looking forward to it, so if you're not back by then, I might head out first."

"No worries… I'll make sure to get back as soon as I can."
