(MC POV)
I teleported myself back to the beach, making sure I was completely clean before doing so.
After that tentacled thing finally died, the whole space had warped to collapse within itself, dumping me back onto the palace garden.
Luckily, no one was around to see that so I slipped away from there as soon as I could.
Dusting myself off, I got ready to head back towards the villa, completing the ruse that I had only been out for a late night stroll along the beach.
I was fully expecting the beach to be empty so I was quite surprised when I heard voices coming from my left when I reached the stairs.
"Do you think we should help him?"
"What if this is Master's punishment for something he did?"
"I think we should just leave him be."
"Ummm… This is really all just a misunderstanding you know? Could you just help me out?"
"Yeah, I think we should just leave him there."
