Chapter 58: Hunt For The Elusive Lover

It's been an hour after Ms Adeline came up with the ingenious idea to... 'find out', who exactly was Aries' romantic partner. Of course, knowing me... I followed suit.

"Stay low! And avoid eye contact!" Ms Adeline instructs me as we hide behind a decorative plant located right behind a pillar overlooking the shopping half of the lobby.

"Y-yes, ma'am!" I nodded and hid behind her as we spied on Aries who was walking around the lodge's gift shop, presumably inspecting the shop before entering its vicinity.

You may ask why, exactly, that I am sneaking around when I could just come straight out and ask him who he was in fact, dating... It just didn't cross my mind. In fact, I had been pretty shaken over the whole fact that he now had a secret I knew nothing about when we shared close to everything. So, you can't really fault me at my terrible attempt at stealth while snooping around behind him, like, literally.
