"Senpai, can I ask you something?"
Laura looked up to see the hesitant gaze of the little foodie.
Fratiss had never shown such an expression in front of her before. Curious, she nodded in agreement:
"Go ahead, what do you need help with?"
Fratiss looked around warily.
Seeing this, Laura snapped her fingers, and a Silence Barrier unfolded.
"Feel better now?"
Only then did the little foodie let out a breath and say:
"Senpai, I-I have a friend who encountered something..."
"This friend you're talking about isn't you, is it?"
"No, no way!" the little foodie said reluctantly. "It's just that my friend was bullied by her good friend and is feeling very upset, but she found out her friend didn't mean to bully her. She wants a reason from her, but she just won't say it."
As she spoke, the little foodie suddenly got a bit bashful.
Was her description a bit too specific?
She glanced up at her senpai and found that Laura wasn't looking at her with any scrutinizing gaze.
