A while later, while I was still working sluggishly on decoding the covenant, Maria and Cyrus returned. They had Ginger, our junior schoolmate, with them.

“Huh, Ginger, what are you doing here?!” I was confused, wondering why they had brought back Ginger after going to check on Fray.

“Well, we were told that Fray is taking a break from school at the moment. So, thinking that her good friend Ginger might know something, we went and asked her. But in the end, she did not seem to know anything about Fray’s circumstances either... She did, however, have something she wanted to ask you about, Lady Katarina, so we had her accompany us back here.” That was how Maria explained what had happened.

Fray was “taking a break” from the academy. In other words, she was at home, at Randall Manor. My anxiety immediately grew more intense. For her part, Ginger looked absolutely crestfallen. Although she didn’t know what was happening to Fray, there was something she wanted to talk to me about. Could it be something related to the matter at hand?

“Why is Fray taking time off from the academy?” I asked Ginger.

“All I know is that it has something to do with her family. In fact, the last time I saw her, she suddenly received a call from home, told me ‘I’ll be back soon,’ and I have not seen her since,” answered Ginger with a gloomy expression.

“Is that so?” That did sound awfully suspicious. “Now then, Ginger, what did you want to talk to me about?” When I asked Ginger this, she glanced at Maria, Cyrus, and Sora in turn. Most likely, this was something that she did not want anyone besides me to hear.

“Maria, Mr. Cyrus. Could I ask you to please vacate the room for a short while? Sora, as you are my bodyguard for now, could I ask you to wait just outside the room?” I said, looking at each of my colleagues in turn as I checked with them. They all complied.

After saying, “See you once you’re done talking,” they all exited the room, leaving Ginger and me by ourselves.

“Um, excuse me. That was selfish of me,” said Ginger apologetically before bowing her head.

“That’s okay. You don’t want anyone else to hear what you have to say, do you?”

“That’s right... Um, since it’s not something to do with me personally, I wonder if it’s really all right for me to tell other people about it.”

So whatever Ginger wants to tell me, it’s not about herself. Considering the flow of the conversation up until now...

“Might this be something to do with Fray?” I asked. Ginger nodded slightly.

“Fray told me this was the first time she had talked to anyone about it...and that it could change people’s image of her if they heard about it, asking me to please not share it... So I didn’t feel like I could tell just anyone...” This answer was just like Ginger, who was always honest and considerate when it came to her friends.
