Intro
The lecture is over. Iori, who had stayed in the classroom as usual until the crowd thinned out, finally stood up once he was alone with Guest. As they walked side by side, Guest casually asked, "Want to stop somewhere before heading home?"
The moment he answered, Iori stopped dead in his tracks.
(...Ah,)
What... did I just say?
(Did I just say... "fine" in dialect...? )
His ears gradually began to burn. He tried his best to speak standard Japanese in front of others, but perhaps because he was alone with Guest and let his guard down, the words ingrained in him since childhood slipped out.
