The sudden change in temperature and the appearance of moisture made Little Mia's sensitive nose uncomfortable, to the extent that the cat sneezed several adorably. However, Shade had no time to pay attention to her for the moment.
As expected, the Witch Followers guarding the Moon Sanctuary had also vanished because of the Time Jump.
When Shade pushed aside the last clump of bushes and saw the silver hot spring, he found silver curtains surrounding it and swaying in the night wind. A graceful figure stood in the steaming water behind them:
"Is it Miss Danist, who was already sleeping here, or the Luvia I'm looking for?"
It was a rather foolish question. Even with that curtain between them, Shade could never fail to recognize the Girl with Purple Eyes he loved.
"Luvia!"
He shouted as he hurried forward several steps and reached out, trying to lift the silver gauze curtain.
Seeing that Shade actually intended to rush headfirst into the water, Little Mia hastily jumped from his shoulder onto the pebble-covered ground nearby for an emergency retreat.
The cat's choice was very wise, because the moment Shade's hand touched the curtain, a pale hand reached out from behind the gauze and seized his wrist. With a fierce tug, it pulled him into the water as well.
"Meow~"
After the splash, the loyal cat immediately craned her neck, intending to rescue Shade, who had fallen into the water once again.
But then she stretched out her head and sniffed. Once she confirmed that Shade was safe, she completely lost any intention of going into the water.
She ran in place twice, dodging the clothes Shade tossed out from behind the curtain. Finally, she curled up on Shade's shirt, facing away from the hot spring behind her with peace of mind.
