Shard dismounted from the carriage at the street corner, initially interested in the flower parade. However, due to the overwhelming crowd, he gave up the idea of watching it. Instead, while he was taking out his keys to open the door, he encountered the next-door neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who were preparing to set out.
They had also been invited to tonight's banquet at Yordle Palace and were now heading out to pick up their custom-made attire.
"So, Mr. Smith was definitely not just an ordinary secretary in the finance department before his retirement,"
Shard concluded.
When he got home and was changing shoes in the hallway, he did not see Mia running down from upstairs. Probably because the noise outside was too loud, the cat hadn't heard the sound of the door opening on the first floor.
Thus, when Shard found Mia scratching the wall in the empty Room 2 on the second floor, the astonished expression that emerged on Mia's fluffy face was truly comical.
