"Yay, Ray. Hello."

"Good morning. Senior Serra."

Keep your head down with dust.

Today I was going shopping with Senior Serra, whom I had promised.

Its purpose is to buy new seedlings, fertilizers, nutrients, etc. in gardening shops. This is how the two of us come to shop regularly on behalf of the Horticulture Department.

Senior Serra seems to be also upstream aristocrats and somewhat busy, but this morning alone means that the two of us are heading to the gardening shop in the kingdom quickly.

"Ha. I really wish Master Rebecca could come with me..."

"Right. But I guess the three nobles are busy."

"It is. Even I have a lot of things, but the three nobles are harder. Sure, there's gonna be a party at the sorcery club in a few days."

"I see."

It's that sorcery society party, by the way, but I'm invited, too. I haven't been there before, because my master told me to join the boulder as a contemporary 'Ice Sword Mage'. The chairman said he wanted to see me, too. By the way, the master seemed to follow.

I'm old enough, so it's okay. I said, "Come with me for a reason."

I can't really get my head up for a master who worries about me all the time like this.

"By the way, what are you buying today?

"Fertilizer and culture soil. And we need to keep quite a few autumn flowers."

"Got it. Speaking of which, has Senior Serra ever done this alone?

"Hmm? Well... you've been doing this all by yourself since I became deputy director"

"I see. Call me anytime from now on. I can carry as much baggage as I want. Because I have the strength."

"Well, yeah. Actually, Ray is helping me. Keep it up."

"Yes!"

With all that talk, we move on. And I came to the gardening shop, which is said to be the biggest in the kingdom. A lot of seedlings were already displayed in front of the store, plus various types of flowers.

"Let's go in the back"

"Okay."

As I follow Senior Serra, I move on to the back of the store.

"Hi there"

"Oh, Deena, isn't she? Long time no see!

"Yes, we're out of time"

Behind the store was a woman, but she looked young for it. In my prediction, is it something like the early thirties?

Also, Senior Serra and I have been familiar with each other for a long time. They serve a variety of things. I said, you don't have to worry about it because you're the manager ~. Last time I was here, I never saw him, so today would be my first meeting.

"Ah, manager. This is Junior."

"My name is Ray-White. I'm still shallow about gardening, but thank you for your guidance."

Keep your head down deep, and I'll give you a bow of grace.

First time. Besides, I'm still young, I'm a freshman. That's why I'm going to say hello here. Courtesy is important.

"Oh well. Steady kid... Could this be Deena?

The manager laughs niggardly. Senior Serra, on the other hand, rushes to deny the word.

"Hey! No, you're not! I'm Rebecca!

"Hmm. Let's just leave it at that... but I've often allowed boys to enter. Surely you used to kick ass, didn't you?

"That's because he was a lowlife aimed at Master Rebecca. But Ray is solid, so. We also take the activities of the Department of Horticulture most seriously."

"I see..."

Senior Soshi Sera ordered what she would buy today and quite a large number of bags were prepared unevenly.

"That's a bit much..."

"This is all I'll get... are you okay? Can you carry it?"

Seniors and store managers ask, but to this extent, there is no problem at all.

"It's okay. Leave it to me."

That said, when I have all the bags on the spot, I join Senior Sella in thanking her.

"I always seem to get more, thank you"

"Thank you"

When the two of us bow our heads, the store manager answers with a laugh.

"That's okay! Deena's a good customer, so hey. Besides, I think I've got a good junior."

"Ha. I am afraid"

"So long, Store Manager. I'll be back."

"Excuse me."

When the two of us bow our heads, we go outside the store.

The time now is already 10: 30.

Senior Serra has business to run this afternoon, and she'd better head right over because she needs to go back now. I need to get this package to the academy, but it's okay for one person.

"Seniors, please go back. I'll take the rest of the luggage alone."

"Oh... but I'm sorry."

"I know there's not much looseness in time. Besides, as seniors know, I'm confident in power. To this extent, there is nothing to say. Rather a good load."

"Oh well. Ray's a really good junior. Then this."

Senior Sella's taking it out of her pocket was the key.

"What's this?

"The key to the room. The key, but I'll give it to you."

"Are you sure?

"Yep. Isn't it a hassle to go to the clerk's office and borrow it? The truth is, the general manager or deputy general manager should keep it, because I'll be relying on Ray for the summer vacation. I really should have done this sooner."

"No, I'm afraid I'll leave you to a shallow person like yourself."

"Already! What are you talking about! You're already a fine gardener. Everybody admits it."

"Really? Keep the horticulture department looking after you."

"It's okay, nothing. Plus, we all like Ray. Including, of course, women's clothing."

"Haha...... is that right? You did respond well when you were in women's clothing."

So chatting, he tells Senior Serra this with a face like he decided to.

"Well... you can call me by name..."

"Are you sure?

"Yep. I've learned a lot about Ray this past semester. This is how he went shopping."

"Okay. I will now call you Senior Deena."

"Yep! See you later!

"Ha!"

The seniors wave loudly and leave as they go.

Think of it, Senior Serra when entering the horticulture department...... not. I knew Senior Deena hated me at first. But this is how they seem to trust me now. As far as I'm concerned, I'm really happy.

This key must be a sign of trust.

Then I'll do more for this horticultural club. For seniors too, as this traditional gardener......

And carry a lot of baggage without difficulty by myself, and I arrive in front of the room. Turning the key chattering and trying to hold my luggage again to get inside...... I heard a loud noise inside.

No way...... you are such a thief!!?

Entering this hallowed horticultural ministry room is not acceptable at all.

I broke in half the way through the door. Keep it gobbling and forward, and when you take the passive, you face the thief who would be inside......

There he was, someone with a familiar face.

Long, glossy black hair with a cry on the bottom right. Its neat face attracts people of all sexes. But now, she seemed strangely surprised that she was in such a hurry.

"Was it Senior Rebecca"

"Ah... ha ha... been, Mr. Ray? Why are you here? And the key..."

"I was shopping with Senior Deena today. On the way home, I came to carry my luggage to this room. What happened to Senior Rebecca?

"Huh!? Yes, no, the... I mean, I forgot something...!

"But it was locked, wasn't it? And are you putting something on your desk? I see something behind me..."

"Beh, never mind! So I'll be excused. Hey! I'll see you again! Mr. Ray!

And when Senior Rebecca holds something in her arms, she runs away refreshed as she is.

Well, I trust you about Senior Rebecca, so I know you're not masterful at anything, but I was strangely curious.

That word and deed on a boulder is not normal. Hiding something was obvious.

But it won't be much of a ground-foot step into people's circumstances. Because that's what people won't want to know and so on.

"Carry it"

When I squeal, I carry my stuff into my room. The black crease I found at that time. It was spreading on the desk.

"Is that ink? But how...? Were you even doing some paperwork?

Perhaps this is something Senior Rebecca was doing.

"That would be nice. I'll wipe your desk later."

I then squeezed the rag and wiped it off my desk when I put my stuff in place. In addition, gently clean the room.

"Something like this?"

After work, I close the lock and I leave the room behind. Just then, I completely forgot what Senior Rebecca said and did.

But I'm around the end of this summer. What was Senior Rebecca doing on this occasion? I'm going to find out the truth... but now, there was no reason to know.
