"Meow?"
The cat, unexpectedly mentioned, lifted its head on the coffee table and glanced at her. The Elf Girl was still sobbing:
"It's just too wonderful here. Just spending a single summer here would make me happy for many years. I clearly didn't do anything wrong, so why does it have to be like this? Is this the retribution for me sneaking out of the Academy before?"
Angelina handed that letter to Shard. Shard quickly skimmed through it; the letter indeed did not say that Emilia and her group had to return to the Academy immediately. For now it only told them to leave "this dangerous city infested with Cultists" first, and then wait for other arrangements.
But no matter what, Emilia's "1854 Tobesk City trip" came to an end today. An Elf's long lifespan meant she would live through a very long future, yet this one and a half weeks would probably remain forever etched in her mind... Thinking of it like that, Shard felt sad for her as well.
