Exploring new areas requires some additional preparation to prevent ending up in dangerous places; Shard cannot expect that every exit from the "Spatial Labyrinth" will be as convenient as the "Church of the Forgotten."
After tidying up, it was already half-past nine. Just as Shard was about to say goodbye to Mia and head out, there was a knock on the door downstairs.
When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Lecia standing there, although Her Highness the Princess did not come upstairs:
"Are you going to the Green Lake Region now?"
Considering that going to an unfamiliar city would consume a lot of time, such that he would be away from home for most of the day, Shard had mentioned his exploration plans to Lecia, Dorothy, and Galina so they wouldn't worry.
"Yes, if you were five minutes later, I might already have left. Is there something you need, Lecia?"
