When Shade left the Seer Association, he was in quite a good mood. His home was still being renovated, so he planned to spend the day in Coldwater Port.

Slipping back home while no one was watching, he traveled through the basement to the harbor city on the West Coast. The weather in Coldwater Port was excellent today. Blue skies and white clouds hung above the calm sea, making the sight refreshing and pleasant. Listening to the waves and seagulls, not only was Shade in high spirits, but even Little Mia, who had seemed so afraid of the ocean last time, widened her eyes at the beautiful view.

Whether because she was too young or because of her breed, Orange Cat Miya's fur had not grown any longer at all since Shade adopted her. In the sea breeze, her slightly short fur glimmered beneath the sunlight, then was gently pressed down by the wind.

Seeing her like this, Shade could not resist reaching out to stroke her head. Mia immediately gave a soft meow, improving Shade's mood even further.

Occasionally wandering along the shore with nothing to do like this was good for his mental health as well.

After arriving in Coldwater Port, Shade eagerly went to Sea Cliff Lighthouse to visit old Mr. Edmund. The old man happened to be going fishing and invited Shade along.

The Outlander did not know how to fish, so Shade first followed Mr. Edmund beneath the cliff to learn some basic fishing techniques before trying to cast his Fishing Hook and wait. Mr. Edmund laughed at him, saying his movements were as stiff as those of a teenager.

"While I can hardly call myself a fishing expert, I caught something big a few days ago."

Shade replied while gripping his Fishing Rod nervously.
