Miss Sylvia was clearly trying to invite him on a private date.
Shade considered what he had on hand. For now, he was only waiting for Iluna to arrive so he could discuss the plan with Iluna and Luvia. If he had enough coins, it would also be good to divine the Sapphire Earrings and the Hexagonal Gemstone.
"Should be fine."
"Then how about accompanying me for a walk around the city? I haven't visited this city in quite some time either."
The young Great Witch said this while lightly biting her lip, and there was something in the way she looked at Shade that made him unable to refuse.
Thus, Shade spent the entire Thursday morning shopping around the city with Miss Sylvia. They returned to Miss Benanis's manor before lunch, and as the inventor of artificial fibers, Miss Sylvia took Shade to her room again. After changing into black fabric clothing, she asked him for his opinion.
As a result, just as the two were getting to the important part, Miss Sylvia was holding Shade's hand and having him judge the texture when Miss Benanis, who had no habit of knocking in her own home, pushed open the door and told them to eat.
Shade only later learned that Miss Sylvia had not spoken to Miss Benanis for the entire day.
That afternoon, he went with Miss Aurora to The Club in the city to discuss business. Only then did Shade learn that the construction of the United Kingdom Navy's Southern Second Shipyard was also connected to the Aurora Family.
Or rather, the Aurora Family had a presence in more or less every large shipyard on the Old Continent.
That evening, the Witches and Shade watched an opera together from a private top-floor box at the Wilde Opera
