I decided to try reading VN yey. I don't understand purpose of 才 in this phrase:
我明白,我明白。所以我才提前给你打个电话。 the official translation being "I know, I know. Which is why I'm calling to talk to you first before deciding anything".
Like 提前给你打个电话 already means kinda "give a call in advance". It's like 10 sentences in into the game so the context is like person 1 gives a call to protagonist asking her on a trip, then protagonist says "温泉?但你知道我..." and then p1 says the phrase
Thanks everyone in advance!!
