When Shard finally pushed the door open and entered the warm Abundant Land Inn in the city center this evening, it was almost five o'clock. It was Monday, and he still had to meet the elf girl Emilia of Saint Byrons, so he did not go directly to the Wilder Opera House.
At this time, Luviya was not yet off work. Braving the snow into the inn's first floor, Shard hurried to the counter to ask for a cup of hot tea. Since he hadn't had lunch, he also ordered a serving of vegetable soup and a roasted meat plate, then sat by the wall, listening to the bard's singing, truly relaxing.
It was about an hour until dinner time, so the inn's first floor wasn't very crowded. But when Luviya entered the inn, the snowy street was bustling with people, and the inside of the Abundant Land Inn was also buzzing with voices.
The purple-eyed girl immediately spotted Shard, who was reading a newspaper, and as she sat across from him with her small handbag, she curiously asked what he was reading.
