Joshua was unable to find any trace of the black cat after it disappeared. The only thing he was certain was that the cat was most definitely not an ordinary cat. Even though its outward appearance was that of a cat, it was an originium crystal.
Thinking about why that black cat would be there, Joshua soon thought of the elf from earlier.
After all, that elf drew her weapon at him the moment he touched the black cat...
Could it be that elven girl was the owner of that black cat?
Joshua decided to go and personally ask that elf about it.
"To draw your dagger to attack your guests and then fleeing immediately afterwards, isn't that lacking in etiquette?"
Joshua spoke to the empty garden.
His voice was not very loud. However, the elf's sharp senses allowed her to clearly hear Joshua.
"Could she have left this place already?"
