On the day of the harvest festival, we had all attempted to match our schedules together, so nearly all current and former members of the student council came together to celebrate the festival.

I had tended a field from the age of eight, so of course my adoptive brother and friends, who had been helping me ever since then, were very skilled by now, but I was shocked to see how capable Ginger and Fray, current members of the student council, had become. Ginger said that she had some experience growing vegetables at home, but Fray, a dyed-in-the-wool young noblewoman, had apparently never done garden work before I introduced her to it. However, at some point she had become brilliantly dexterous, like a veteran farmer.

Remarking on this incredible growth, I called out to Fray, saying, “You really seem used to this now.”

“I would have to say I’m quite good with my hands,” she replied, chuckling.

“Well, even so, this is amazing. You’re practically a pro gardener now!” I wondered how long it had taken me to reach the same level.

“A pro gardener, you say? Tee hee hee,” Fray laughed, clearly amused, and then added the following: “But I must say, it really is fun working the earth like this. For one reason or another, I find myself coming here every day, so I think I’ve started to grow used to it.”

“Wh— Fray, have you started to find farmwork fun?!” I asked, so happy to hear Fray—who, however you looked at her, was a picture-perfect noble girl—describe field work as fun, that I couldn’t help but lean forward.

Fray answered, “Yes, I have. Although I started doing it casually, only thinking of helping Ginger, seeing vegetables planted by my own hand growing steadily makes me very happy, and knowing that the more I work on them, the more fruitful the harvest will be, made it all the more fascinating. Now I find myself coming here perhaps even more than Ginger does.”

While I was still attending the academy, I had quite a few opportunities to socialize with Ginger and speak with her, and more often than not Fray was standing beside her, but despite that, I don’t think I had many opportunities to really speak with Fray herself.

Fray seemed to be an ideal young lady, both in her looks and in her conduct, so I had a strong impression that she was only doing field work to help her good friend Ginger. Learning that she had become so obsessed with it herself, and for much the same reason that I had at that, pleased me greatly.

I gave Fray an impassioned speech, explaining that the veggies would come out different depending on the day they were harvested—on the time of day, even—so one needed to look at them carefully to determine what was best for each of the little darlings.

Some people might have no interest in this subject, and would react to one of my speeches with exasperation, but Fray listened with her eyes sparkling.

“I’m learning so much,” she said, listening to my speech with her face breaking into a smile.
