Finding the Culprit (Bonus)

Noelle asked quietly, while taking a peek at where Nathan should have been. "What kind of item do you even need? I have asked your classmate, but you don't leave behind any item…"

But she soon stopped when she didn't find Noel there. "Eh? Where is he?"

Noelle was confused and soon became furious, wondering if he was just playing with her. However, she couldn't help but think of another possibility. What if Nathan was kidnapped by the enemy as a way to warn them not to search for them?

While Noelle was confused about his whereabouts, Nathan was already heading to a different place. It was all because of the letter.

'Classmate Nathan. I have been admiring you silently for a long time. Your face keeps appearing in my mind, your existence makes my day, and your smile brightens my world.

'I just hope you're able to meet me in the back of the Grand Hall. I'd like to say a secret I've been keeping this whole time.'
