Once his plans for the Cultural Vacation were set, Rain continued towards his class, chatting with Ael along the way and pondering the immediate future.
'Vacation in the Elf Kingdom... that would be something new.'
His gaze fell on Aelorian, who was walking beside him and talking nonstop.
Who would be better suited to show him the culture of the Elves than their Princess?
A smile slowly appeared on his lips.
'I'm relying on you, Ael. Prove the greatness of the Elves.'
Noticing his stare, she stopped speaking for a moment, but immediately continued.
"What am I talking about? Ah, yeah. Like my mother used to say..."
"Student Rain."
A woman's voice interrupted her words.
They stopped their steps, turning toward the voice.
There stood a woman in a black and white uniform, with a visibly worn face and black circles under her eyes.
Rain recognized her as the woman his sister had helped with her research.
'I think her name was Audrey?'
