The perspective change to Sylphy, who has given up looking for Kaizoku and Gabriel and returned to the tavern, choosing to relax and hope they come back.

"Huaaammm!! Instead of walking outside, it's better to drink in here. Bartender! One beer!"

The bartender prepared a large glass of beer and handed it to Sylphy.

"Cheers!" Sylphy quickly drank it down.

"Caahh!! So strong!"

At a nearby table, a group was whispering about people being wanted after.

One of them whispered. "Hey, hey, did you notice? That wolf-girl sitting at the front is a wanted person. If we catch her, we can get a reward from Lord Thomas."

Thanks to her sharp hearing, Sylphy immediately realized she was being hunted by Demon Lord Ishayaki's subordinate. "Damn, I can't relax anymore. I forgot that almost everyone works for the Demon Lord."

After paying the bartender with coins, Sylphy tried to slip out of the bar unnoticed.

However, her exit was blocked by the group that had been whispering about her.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going?"

Hearing this, Sylphy froze.

The four men quickly surrounded her, preventing any escape. "Hey, gorgeous... Where are you off to?"

Sylphy responded seriously. "Do I really need to answer that? I don't think so."

One of the men reached out to touch Sylphy's hair, but she swiftly pushed him hard. "Don't even think about touching me."

"Wow, okay, so you want to play rough, huh!?" the man who had tried to grab her hair attempted to restrain Sylphy's hands.

"Hey! Don't touch me!" Sylphy retaliated by kicked him hard in the crotch.

"Owww!" the man collapsed in pain.

The remaining three men were shocked by what Sylphy had done.

While they were momentarily distracted, Sylphy broke free and dashed out of the tavern.

Regaining their focus, the three men quickly began chasing her. "Hey! After her, now!"

Looking back, Sylphy taunted them for being too slow. "Ha! Snails! Now try catching this! Void Walk!"

Sylphy activated Void Walk, boosting her speed a hundredfold, instantly vanishing from their sight.

"Huff, huff, she's gone! Spread out now!"

Feeling safe, Sylphy stopped in a narrow alley somewhere.

"Huff, finally got away, though it was too easy. Bwahahaha!" she laughed out loud.

However, her laughter didn't last long. Kaizoku, still running down the same alley, didn't see Sylphy standing in front of him as he was too busy looking behind to make sure he wasn't being followed.

They collided each other.

"Ouch! Watch where you're going!" Sylphy said with angry face.

Without realizing it, Sylphy punched Kaizoku in the face, who had fallen right on top of her.

Because Kaizoku was wearing different clothes, Sylphy didn't recognize him right away.

"Aah! Why do you always hit me..." Kaizoku groaned as he stood up.

"We're being hunted! Sylphy!" said Kaizoku with worried face.

"Huh? You might be right. Kai? Why are you wearing different clothes?"

Looking around, Kaizoku replied with a serious face. "It's a long story. The important thing is, we need to get out of this village! We're being hunted!"

Seeing the seriousness in Kaizoku's face, Sylphy responded with equal seriousness. "You're right, but we can't just run off without finding Gabriel to help us."

"We can't escape without him. Without Gabriel, we'll just get lost, not knowing where to go."

She sighs desprately. "Gabriel is the one who knows almost the entire village, and there's a chance he knows a safe village for us to stay in."
