After Iluna finished the written record according to standard procedure, she dilly-dallied as if she didn't want to leave, but since there was no reason to stay, she was eventually escorted to the door by Shard and the professor. However, upon saying goodbye, Shard casually mentioned:
"I still have to go home for lunch with Mia."
Iluna blinked, waved at him with a smile, and then walked briskly into the fog.
The professor didn't catch the meaning behind Shard and Iluna's conversation. Once the door closed again, he shook his head and sighed:
"Although Tobesk is the capital of the Kingdom, the resolution rate of such theft cases is still very low. I think rather than hoping the police will catch the thief, I should keep an eye on the black market dynamics myself. Maybe I could buy the vase back soon."
"Professor, I've heard it's a series of thefts, Riddlevitch Field is taking it seriously."
