Lanci soon passed Cat Boss back to Hyperion, letting her hold the cat.
As the two of them walked and talked, they reached the outside of the school grounds. They only needed to cross two more streets to the east to arrive at the Boss Cat Restaurant.
The summer noonday sun sprinkled its light upon the old-fashioned buildings of Ichrite Academy, making the stone walls and sculptures appear even more lifelike. Lanci and Hyperion strolled down the broad sidewalk basked in sunlight, walking the illuminated path with the impressive clock tower of the Ichrite Academy standing even more majestic in the daylight behind them.
"Lanci, wait up, are we really going to have lunch with the three of us?"

For instance, Lanci could just stay on the first floor while she had lunch with Tata at their second-floor home.
Or she could dine with Lanci on the first floor, leaving Antanas to accompany Tata at home for lunch.
