"Take good care of yourself, Eclaite. Don't be reckless and don't push yourself again," Vier said.

"Hemp!" Anna sniffed and turned her face away. The silver-haired woman grab Vier's hand and pulled him away before I could give a reply.

Two people left us.

"See you again, Miss Eclaite." Elizaveta waved her hand before walking away to follow Vier and Anna.

"Don't cry beautiful girl!" said Lubov, who ran to chase Elizaveta.

Seeing the behavior of his friends, Cabal shook his head. "Well, Eclaite. Before I leave, I'll say this. If all the information you give us truly works, I promise you'll get another bigger piece."

"You don't have to do that. I've been paid more than enough."

Cabal made a bitter smile. "You don't know how valuable the information you gave us. You'll get paid a decent payment, I'll make sure of that. See you later, Kimi, Eclaite."

"See you later."

"Bye Bye, Uncle Cabal."

Cabal made a nod then waved his hand before walking away.

"Alright, they've gone, where are we going?" Kimi asked. Her eyes looked directly into my eyes.

I wanted to take this Slave Collar off but I can't do it right now. I can't visit Slaves Trader when I'm with Kimi. That's why...

"Let's find someone," I said then turned back and began walking down the sidewalk.

My destination is the south plaza of Denbu – Dungeon Entrance Building – where Bag Carriers offer their services.

"Someone? Who?" Kimi asked at the moment she caught up and walked beside me.

I turn to look at the little girl. "Remember the Fallen Elf girl we've met before?"

"Is the girl big sis referring to was the Bag Carrier we met in the market?"

"Yes, that girl! We're going to find her."

"Why and how?"

"Because I want the girl and we'll start looking for her from the place where Bag Carriers gathered. I've already reminded the girl's scent, we'll find her easily."

"That's something that doesn't make sense!"

I didn't listen to her cries and kept going.

After I made dozens or maybe hundreds of steps, I reached the south plaza.

There were many people gathered in this plaza. Most of them were Adventurers and Merchants. The rest are the residents of the city.

Adventurers ... They gathered here to... Well... Enter the Foltian Great Dungeon!

The Solo Adventurers tried to join a Party by offering their services. Sometimes some of them challenged Foltian alone.

For an Adventuring Party, they searching for a Solo Adventurer or a Bag Carrier to strengthen or to complete their Party composition.

As for Carriers, they offer their services to Solo Adventurer or a Party.

The merchants. They gathered here to buy the loot that Adventurers got from within the Dungeon directly. Merchants looking for and try to buy high-quality or rare materials at low prices.

There is no Adventurer's Guild interference here and there is no tax. Therefore, adventurers and merchants each profited. It's just that, the risk they will be deceived can be said to be big because they depend on the bargaining talent they have.

"We'll never find that Bag Carrier." Kimi made a statement as she looked at the crowd of people in the Plaza.

"Why are you so pessimistic? We're going to find the girl. I'm sure of it!"

"And we'll find the girl by relying on big sis' nose," Kimi said in a flat tone.

"Why do I feel like you're mocking me?"

"I'm not mocking big sis. It's just- Haa... If we knew the Bag Carrier's name and characteristics, finding her would be an easier task to do."

My ears twitched and my tail made a strong swing. I walked towards the crowd of women who put on a large green bag on their backs.

"The girl I was looking for was beautiful," I began to tell her about my girl.

"Uhu~," Kimi responded while nodding her head.

"The girl has golden eyes, black hair, and white skin."

"Uhu~."

"She was wearing a green Armor and a large bag that was also green."

"Uhu~."

"Why do you keep saying uhu?"

Kimi didn't give me an answer. She only looked at me for a moment before turning her face away.

"Let's look for that bag carrier," said the little girl whose ears and tail hung limply.

Why does she look so sad? What's going on?

I tried to figure out the answer to that question as I searched for the Fallen Elf girl and I... I didn't find either of them.

We went around the plaza for a long time. I didn't even see the girl or inhale the scent of her body.

It's very disappointing.

"Where's the girl? Why haven't we been able to find her yet?"

"Why, indeed..." Kimi replied. She sounded disinterested and hardly cared.

"My dear little sister. Why are you behaving like that? Can you help this sister of yours who is in distress?"

"I tried and I realized, to help big sis, I just have to let big sis do whatever big sis wants. Then, I just need to make sure big sis doesn't get hurt or get lost."

"What are you talking about?"

"What, indeed..." Kimi said as she was walking away. "Come on big sis, we have to find that Bag Carrier."

"All right."

We went back to wander around in this south plaza for quite some time until finally...

"Oh! I found it! I found the girl's scent! Follow me, Kimi!"

"Big sis!"

Hearing that shout, I squeezed Kimi's hand. I pulled her slowly to follow me.

"Haa... At least, with this, big sis won't get lost."

We continued to walk following the sweet scent!

Minute by minute passed and...

"I found you!" I said with a smile.

There, in front of the Dry Fruits seller's stall, stood a girl with a familiar figure.

I approached the girl and patted her on the shoulder. The girl looked around and saw me.

I was happy when I saw the girl again and did not call the wrong person.

I smiled and greeted her with, "Hi."

"... hey? Who are you and what do you want?"

Have you forgotten about me? It hurts.

I took a breath to calm myself down. Then... "I am Eclaite. We've met before and I'd like to hire your services."

"We've met?" Said the Fallen Elf girl who then put on a thinking expression.

"Yes! We've met, at the market. Then we chatted for some time in front of a fountain."

"Ah! I remember. You are the silly girl who offered me a job to help you hunt in the North Forest!"

Ugh! Why do you call me silly? I am a gorgeous, normal girl! Aren't you fascinated after seeing my lovely face?

When I made a strange rant inside my head, the Fallen Elf girl received a bag of Dry Fruits she had bought.

She looked back at me to say, "Listen, if you want me to help you to hunt in the North Forest, you can forget about it. I won't do it even you pay me fifty silvers a day."

"No, this time, I won't be hunting in the North Forest. I will hunt in the Foltian Great Dungeon and I need your help!"

"Oh!"
