Secret Summons

The next morning, I found myself sitting in the same tree that I had used to hide from Fang the day I met Rose. After yesterday’s events, Lesti asked me to keep an eye out and make sure no suspicious characters were hanging around. I highly doubted it would be an issue while she was on campus, but it was better safe than sorry.

So, I lazily napped in the tree, using my magic sense to keep an eye out for anyone approaching the little garden as Rose toiled away. It looks like this morning is going to be pretty uneventful. Classes should be starting soon. I let out a content purr, thinking I would be released from my watch duty after a few more minutes. However, as if the world were trying to spite me, I noticed someone approaching Rose just as she started to put away her tools.

Opening my eyes, I could see it was a younger male student, black hair pulled back into a long ponytail. It was a style popular among the noble boys. That, combined with the way he carried himself, pretty much confirmed his status in society. Although, looking closely, he seemed quite nervous for someone just out for a stroll.

As he approached Rose, he stuck a hand into his pocket and glanced around, making sure no one was watching. I felt the muscles in my body tense up, and I made my way to the ground, stalking after the boy just in case. Rose didn’t seem to notice his approach as she lined up her hoe with the other tools along the dormitory’s back wall.

The boy slowly pulled something out of his pocket, carefully hiding it in his palm in such a way that no one was likely to see it. Even with my keen feline vision, I couldn’t make out what it was. Assuming the worst, I increased my pace, closing the gap between us. Just as the boy got close to Rose, I came up behind him and transformed.

Then he called out, “Is your name Rose?”

Turning around to face the boy, Rose froze with a look of pure terror on her face. Her eyes were wide, and her face went pale. For a moment, it seemed like she might have even forgotten to breathe. The boy held out his hand, but to my relief, it wasn’t a weapon, but rather a small, rolled-up piece of parchment that he held. Feeling a sense of relief, I released my tiger transformation, which also seemed to cause Rose to start breathing again as well. Apparently, I had been the one who had scared her, and not the boy.

“Y-yes, that’s me. Can I help you with something?”

“I was asked to deliver this note to you.” He glanced around nervously, still not noticing me crouched down in his shadow. “It’s apparently top-secret, so make sure you don’t share it with anyone.”

He quickly shoved the note into Rose’s hand, not waiting for her to respond. Then he hastily walked off and headed for the main building without ever looking back.
