After a night's rest, Shade paid a rare visit to Luvia's apartment before breakfast on Sunday. When the Purple-Eyed Girl opened the door for him, she was still wearing her nightgown. As for the cat Shade had brought along, it was curled up in his arms, throwing a tantrum. In Little Mia's eyes, leaving the house early in the morning without breakfast was utterly unacceptable for a cat.
Shade invited Luvia to breakfast and explained that the demon had already been dealt with:
"This way, there's one less obstacle standing in our path."
"Before the diviner on the island completes 'Create Space,' we have to deal with him."
"There's no need to worry about that. Once he completes the ritual, he'll definitely invite all his descendants onto the island. I've already gathered quite a few people on my side. We're just waiting for you to reach Green Lake, then use the last Nether Iron Coin and Homeland Coin for divination."
Shade stroked the cat sitting on a tall stool beside him and drinking goat milk. This was the Finsney and Clodia Restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue. Breakfast included dairy products, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, and toast. Shade usually ate breakfast at home, so Little Mia naturally rarely had the chance to eat out in the morning. Still, it seemed to like the food here very much.
"Yes, once we figure out the Edwards Apotheosis Art, the Door of Thirteen Keyholes, and why he is gathering the descendants of Green Lake Town's residents, we can more or less begin planning the final battle."
Luvia ate very little for breakfast. She used her fork to pick at the little red tomatoes in her vegetable salad, her eyes drifting toward the other customers in the restaurant. She and Shade sat by the wall
