"This is the right thing to do. If there really is a tree hollow there, you might be sucked in if you're not careful."
Shade said this, and the exact location of the incident had already been marked on the map.
Whether another tree hollow had appeared or there was something strange about Miss Linda Bennett, the matter had to be investigated. Thus, after temporarily entrusting Little Mia to Miss Danist, the owl immediately flew out the window with the cat in its claws.
"Shouldn't it be my turn to go out this time?"
The red-haired girl left in the room muttered to herself, then looked at Miss Jane Alba, who had not yet left. The latter naturally did not want to answer such a question. The young ladies had privately discussed more than once the relationship between the Great Witch of Death, Saint Byron's "Red Moon Witch," and Shade.

Owl Aviation was quite fast. In less than half an hour, it carried the cat to the woods. There were no distinctive buildings or landmarks near where Miss Linda Bennett had disappeared, and even a simple examination of the traces could not find the footprints of the girl who had suddenly vanished. After confirming that neither of them could sense the aura of a tree hollow immediately, they could only conduct a thorough search of the surrounding area.
Shade certainly would not suggest splitting up in a place where someone had already gone missing, so the witch stayed by his side. She wanted to turn into a cat again and jump onto Shade's shoulder, but Shade firmly refused:
