All the way from floor 2, Luan and Catharina ran to floor 1.
There was no reason for breaks.
They simply didn’t want to waste any more ti inside that dungeon.
On floor 1, they took a break to rest and eat on a mountain.
Since the area was close to floor 2, there were quite a lot of people there.
"Let’s eat." Luan said: "Clean ourselves up a bit, and leave."
"Yes." Catharina nodded.
First of all, she didn’t like very crowded places.
She felt a little dizzy and had a slight headache just from being there.
If it weren’t necessary, she didn’t even want to spend another second in that place.
’None of those guys are here...’ Luan observed.
If soone from Kaizen’s forr group were in that place, it could bring so complications.
At that mont, all he wanted was to avoid more problems and get out of that dungeon as soon as possible.
"Hey, did you hear? It seems there’s a disguised demi-human here in this dungeon."
"You’re talking about the group that was almost wiped out by that so-called demi-human?"
"Yes, that’s the one!"
"My goodness, that’s terrible!"
...
Hearing this, Luan beca worried.
’It can’t be, right?’
Although Catharina used the powers of a demi-human, it could very well be seen as a fox spirit talent.
Looking in Catharina’s direction, he saw her tremble a little.
Luan held her hand and whispered: "Let’s leave..."
She nodded in agreent.
Sneaking away without drawing attention, when they were alone Luan said: "Catharina, I don’t know if they were talking about you, but... We can’t risk it, let’s run out of the dungeon and leave this city!"
She showed guilt for causing trouble for him: "I’m sorry, it’s my fault!"
"Don’t say that." He held her hand firmly: "Rember, you are more important to than living in that city. And it’s not like it’s the only place that has a dungeon for us to hunt."
With the possibility that one day they might suspect Catharina was a demi-human, Luan made sure to investigate all the nearby cities and dungeons.
He already had a destination to go to now with the possibility that they might want to investigate Catharina’s origin.
Even if she managed to hide the fact that she was a demi-human, what guarantees that there isn’t a thod to find out whether she is or isn’t a demi-human?
"Thank you!" She was truly grateful for everything.
Smiling, Luan soon put on a serious expression and said: "Let’s run as fast as possible out of the dungeon!"
Understanding his urgency, she nodded.
## --
It only took a few hours for Luan and Catharina to reach the dungeon’s exit.
They were now tired and very hungry.
Honestly, all they wanted was to find a place to sit and eat.
As they left, they went through a standard inspection.
Many looks of surprise were sent toward their cart.
"Wow! Look at that. So many things..."
"It must be worth a fortune!"
...
Ignoring the murmurs, they left the dungeon entrance and went to the city.
Outside, Luan finally let out a sigh of relief: "It seems we got out before them, or in the first place, it was never about you that they were talking about earlier..."
"Uh-huh." She nodded: "It’s more likely to be soone else, but..."
"Yes, even so, we can’t be sure, it’s better to leave this city imdiately." Luan said in a grave tone.
Even with the possibility that it’s not about her, still, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
...
At the guild, Luan sold everything.
Now with his pockets full of gold coins, he smiled a little.
Luan said: "Catharina, I’m going to buy so things for our trip. In the anti, I need you to go to our house and get our things and et in the comrcial area."
It was really a pity, but they would have to abandon the house they had bought.
"Alright." She agreed: "I’ll do that right now and et you later."
...
Besides travel food, he bought so clothes, as well as a barrel for them to bathe in and Hot Bath Stones.
Another very important item was a portable grill.
Soon the cart was full of goods.
He also bought a brand-new two-person tent with good durability.
Seeing the things he bought, he started to think that leaving the city wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
With all of this, they could live comfortably outside the city.
He even bought a [Wild Animal Repellent]. This was an item that, although it didn’t work on monsters, was useful for driving away wild animals. For several hours after being activated, it emitted a sound that irritated animals, making them keep their distance.
This particular item was a breath of fresh air.
If it really is as useful as it says, the nights will be much more peaceful while camping outside.
"Luan!"
From afar, he spotted Catharina.
She waved at him as she approached.
Slung over her shoulder, she had several heavy bags.
She had also changed clothes.
It was clear that she had washed herself.
Obviously, he didn’t bla her for that, although he also wanted to take a bath before leaving the city.
She approached, placing the luggage inside the cart.
Turning to him, she said: "Did you buy everything you needed?"
"Yes, I think so." He began to tell her everything he had bought.
She nodded several tis, when he finished speaking, she looked thoughtful, then said: "I don’t think anything is missing. So... How about you go to the bathhouse while I wait for you?"
"Well..." This was an offer he couldn’t refuse: "Then, thank you, I promise to be quick."
"Mm." She smiled behind the veil.
...
It was the first ti he had been to the bathhouse.
Upon entering, he saw that it was exactly as he imagined it would be.
A spacious place with several showers on the sides to wash, and a ’hot water pool’ with several naked n soaking in the hot water with happy expressions on their faces.
There were so who were even drinking alcohol while bathing.
He dipped into the water, and had to admit it was excellent.
Closing his eyes, he let out a sigh of satisfaction.
...
When Luan ca out, he felt refreshed.
Catharina, who was waiting for him, had at skewers in her hands.
"Here, eat a little." She handed him two.
"Thank you." He accepted with a smile.
"Mm." She made a nasal sound in confirmation.
