Saying he's fine is not a lie; at this moment, Shard feels like he's awakened after a long slumber.
Aside from the cat pressing heavily on his waist, there aren't any special feelings.
"Hmm."
The girl, sobbing, responds with a monosyllabic sound, but her arms still tightly hold onto him, as if she never wants to let go.
Even though today is Sunday, there's much to handle in the disaster-stricken Randall Valley after the earthquake from Friday night to early Saturday. So at the manor this morning after Shard awoke, only Luviya, Ciris, and Tifa were present. Even Miss Galina and Miss Rita Swift, who had no pressing matters locally, were assigned post-disaster and post-battle exploration tasks by the Witch Council.
And Tifa was left by Miss Galina to take care of Shard.
