Vivian extracted the Bukaroo's tail and got up.

"Time to go back to the Adventurer's Guild!"

She swept her gaze around her surroundings.

"That tree looks good..."

Among the trees around her, it was the tallest and also sturdy enough to support her weight.

She approached the tree, dropped her sticks to the ground, removed her remaining shoe and then started climbing.

When she got to the top, she searched for Luxen City.

"Okay, so it's that direction..."

She looked for the closest path where she could exit the forest and then head for the city.

"Hmm... It will take me long-- What the fuck is that?"

From a distance, she saw what looked like a flying lizard or something close to that. It was too far so she couldn't exactly make the specific details. All she could tell was that it looked like a black lizard with black bat-like wings and someone wearing a brown cloak riding it.

And it was heading to the Luxen City.

A dragon...?

Whatever...

She looked away and resumed studying which path to take.

Hmm...

If I take that path there it would take me longer to reach the Adventurer's Guild...

Meanwhile, if take that path, although I'll arrive quickly, I'll also encounter too many monsters...

She thought about it for a minute.

Even if I took the shortest path, depending on how many monsters I encounter, it would still take me time and I need to get another quest and finish it before the sun sets...

And the last thing I want is to be chased again by a group of monsters...

I also could be injured or destroy my items and will need more money...

Yup, I'll take the longer route...

She began climbing down.

Vivian was in front of the gate of Luxen City that she entered from yesterday.

She could see and feel people, including the guards, staring at her as she walked.

To be fair, Vivian's appearance was eye-catching.

She was sweating, her hair, although tied, was slightly disheveled, her clothes were covered in dirt and leaves, there was a red-brown-colored stain on the right sleeve of her shirt, and her right foot wasn't wearing a shoe, only wrapped with dirty bandages except for her toes and heel.

She originally wanted to bring her sticks with her but decided not to in the end.

Fuck...!

Vivian was trying so hard to keep her face from wincing with every step she took.

Fuck, fuck...!

Dammit, the road is burning my feet...!

Ah, fuck...!

She was also trying so hard to walk properly but there was still an obvious limp with each step.

Truth be told, she even specifically walked on the grass, not on the dirt road, on her way to this city. But despite all her efforts, it still burned her feet with each step and it only got worse once she walked in the streets of the city.
