The Protagonist's Party is Too Diligent

Chapter 279

I had more or less finished my conversation with Alice, but the real problem was that there were plenty of other people around who could make me just as uneasy.

Even if they didn’t remember every detail of the timeline I had rewound—or rather, even if they didn’t consciously recall it—this situation alone was enough to make things unbearably awkward.
