The next day.
"Today is your second day in the Floral City Pariel of the Poseen Kingdom."
"Early in the morning, you and Tata started your date..."
Cat Boss's naive voice was cut off halfway by a simultaneous deathly glare from Lanci and Talia.
Little Black Cat shrank its head, turning back into a quiet, sugar-free, whole wheat bread.
In the streets of Pariel at dawn, a man and a woman move through the old-age style alleys of the North Shore.
They walked leisurely, as if the whole city was playing a laid-back tune for them.
The aroma of coffee emanated from the roadside cafes, while orchids, pansies, and Regal begonias in the brown-brick flower shops were particularly vibrant in the morning light, the dew on their petals glistening.
Lanci today was clad in a simple grey shirt jacket, appearing casual and nonchalant.
As for why grey, he said it was still to pay homage to that legendary mentor.
"By the way, does traveling together like this really increase our rapport?"
