Cecilia reeled after hearing Marya's question.
She didn't want people to know that she was a player, but she thought that Gertrude had probably realized it already. And Marya is a smart girl who also knows a bit more than the average person about the inner workings of the world, as she knows about techniques and stats.
((Now that I think about it, it was just a matter of time for her to notice it. I just hope that it doesn't trigger any memory rewritings. There's no way for me to hide or deny it now.))
"Marya… Can you promise to never speak about this to anyone, ever?"
"Yes, Miss!!! I won't ever tell anyone. I understand why you want to keep it a secret… Though you act a bit conspicuously sometimes."
((I do, don't I…? Well, some stuff I really needed to do, like the thing with the Cataclysm.))
"Yeah… It's our little secret, then."
"Yes! And you promised to teach me, but can I really learn what you can do? You are a player, after all…"
