Grey heads back toward the library entrance. The fairy maids aren't finished with their work, but they have made significant progress. Most of the damaged shelves have been moved to a pile in the corner. The broken glass from the windows has been cleaned up. He can't see any books left lying on the ground. They work much faster than he expected, perhaps they have been trained well.

He spots the fairy that gave him the letter earlier. She is carrying a tall stack of books. He gives her a wave and a polite smile.

"E-eh?"

The fairy trips on her feet with a loud crash. The books lie scattered around her. A few of the other fairies giggle at the commotion. Grey sighs as he walks over to her.

"Need any help?" he asks. Without waiting for her answer, he starts gathering the books. After collecting them into a suitable stack, he gives them back to her.

"T-thank you very much!" she manages.

Some of the other maids are already peeking from behind the shelves to watch. He doesn't feel like causing another misunderstanding. Grey gives the fairy a wave before leaving. She just manages a slow nod as she stands rooted to the ground with the books. He hopes that she doesn't drop them again after he goes.

While walking toward the kitchen, he remembers the envelope. After making sure no one is walking the halls, he pulls it out of his pocket and opens it.

"Huh?"

The envelope is empty. He examines the envelope carefully, but he finds nothing written on or inside it. He checks his pockets and coat, but finds no trace of the envelope's contents. Did she forget to put the letter inside?

At the kitchen, he searches through the cupboards for some tea. There is an unexpectedly large variety of blends stocked in the kitchen. One brand catches his eye. He wonders how Remilia got hold of this well-known British tea. He takes the package with a smile.

Grey takes a glance at some teacups as he waits for the water to boil.
