Chapter 59:School Festival [1]

Following Ruby's lead, I headed into the forest right outside the dorm building. Confused as to why we were going so deep into the forest when there were almost no students out, I asked.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see."

"Is it really that hard to answer a question?"

"Do you have no patience?"

Sighing, I tried to use my eyes to peer through the darkness and see the end of the path, only to realize that we weren't actually taking a path.

"... we're not lost, are we?"

Smirking, Ruby didn't answer my question but instead fastened her pace, taking seemingly random turns every 20 steps.

Realizing that the ground below me was actually tilting uphill instead of being flat, I looked up and realized that she was leading me up one of the tallest hills in the forest.

Reaching the peak of the hill, Ruby abruptly sat down before immediately opening the gift basket, letting all the sweets spill out.
