Chapter 2: The Senior’s Secret Soil

His senior’s secret soil was really a bag of ash brought from her hometown. She said it was powder left after an elf-tree fell, and that it could let any seed live through winter in a human school.

“I’ll give you a little.” She poured the ash into Haru’s palm. “That way you’re part of the garden too.”

Haru tucked the ash into the inner pocket of the observation notebook. The greenhouse door tapped softly in the wind, as if a third person wanted to join the club.

The two of them looked toward the doorway together. No one was there. Only the night-blooming flowers sent their scent out into the corridor, as if recruiting for the Gardening Club in the quietest way.
