"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Terumi Mei knew that Mirai's situation concerned him personally, yet she wore a smile.
Mirai glanced at her and said, "It's not just to ensure your safety. The later you return, the later I'll be exposed. There are still some things I haven't figured out. If I take you home tonight, I'll have to leave Hidden Mist Village."
