Throwing that golden toy box, Shard was quite curious about how Miss Gawder's family managed to acquire this set of armor. Just from the appearance of its outer packaging, it was clear that this thing was no ordinary item.
"Mia, it's time to set off."
He beckoned to the cat, turned it into a toy, and put it into the pocket of his shirt.
Learning from the last time, Shard chose not to wear a coat this time but instead carried the clothes filled with toys. He turned and waved to the slightly worried Luviya, Lecia, and Miss Galina, held the key with a cracked surface, and aimed it at the door of the study:
"May the World Tree, bless me in the stream of time."
With a click sound, the keyhole turned, and behind the opened door lay endless white fog. Shard waved again to those behind him, ready to face the scorching sun, and then stepped into the Mist Gate.
"Oh!"
