[It all feels very hopeless. He just has no clue how the whole time thing works or what might be going on outside. They've got no control over anything, as usual.
Maybe it was selfish of him to say all that stuff out loud. (Or put in text, rather.) He doesn't mean to worry Jun with thoughts about losing a year's worth of time back home. He knows Jun is just as frustrated and worried as he is. Still, he did promise to share his findings and his thoughts with him, without holding anything back or trying to shield him. They are partners, after all.
Either way, it looks like that discussion has resolved itself. He won't talk about that anymore for now. This was supposed to be about Leo's birthday, a much more pleasant topic!
And also about his spending habits, which he proceeds to defend.]
Not to worry! I don't spend like I do at home! I did have some extra expenditures last month, but those were more like business expenses. If you're trying to pry a high-class mage, a god, or a wealthy celebrity for info, you take them out to lunch first! And you make sure the cafe or wherever is upscale enough to please them! That's lesson 1 in the Hiyori Tomoe Book of Etiquette! โญ
[Actually, that lesson really only applies to this place. If this was at home, he wouldn't be questioning mages!
... mostly because he doesn't know any. If he did meet a real one, he probably would talk their ear off with various questions.]
Yep. As long as we're together, we're unstoppable ๐๐
It's not just alcohol or food, by the way. Apparently some of the flowers also contain pollen that have the same effects as other stuff. I haven't encountered anything like that myself, though, and we were fine during the flower exhibition. Still, I know Leo-kun and Rinne-senpai have run into it, so we can't be too careful.
[He probably should've said this before the exhibit, but oh well. All's well that end's well! And now finally back to the topic at hand:]
I do like shopping and gift-giving, so that suits me fine. Alright, very well. I'll take care of the present, you take care of the cake! And I suppose you don't need to worry about paying me back, since I haven't exactly paid you back for every ingredient you've ever bought for my food. Unless it's something really pricy, we can consider it even.
