When Shard returned home from the north of the city, it was half past one in the afternoon. Mia, who lived a very happy life with nothing to do all day, had already eaten the high-grade cat food Shard had left for her and was now lazily napping in the sun on the windowsill. Although she was startled awake by Shard's footsteps upstairs, she only ran up to him for a couple of pats before he marveled at "how warm and soft this cat is," and then she jumped back up on the windowsill to continue her nap.
Thus, Shard followed what Luvia mentioned in the morning and visited Miss Belindel at Belindel Estate in Moon Bay City. But unfortunately, the witch wasn't in the estate this afternoon. Fortunately, the maids at the estate knew of Shard as "the cousin," so they informed him that Miss Belindel had gone to the city council to attend a meeting.
