Chapter 84
To me, a few dozen meters was a short distance. If I could gain enough speed, I could cover it in just a few leaps.
But right now, the path was blocked by a crowd. As I pushed through the people, I never took my eyes off Barbara.
She had been watching Arachne, but then she suddenly turned around and bolted off somewhere. Her steps were strangely unsteady.
‘Damn it, they’re in the way.’
My long skirt kept getting caught and stepped on by people. I wanted to rip this inconvenient piece of fabric apart and throw it away.
Barbara, with her small frame, slipped through the crowd and went straight into the rest area designated for visitors. Despite being called a rest area, the building had five floors and was quite large. It had everything—bathrooms, a dining hall, and lounges.
‘What is she up to?’
As soon as I broke free from the crowd, I quickened my pace.
Barbara entered the building first. Inside, it would be empty. Since it was still early in the test run, most people were too busy watching Arachne to go inside. Only a few passed through to use the restroom.
“Haha, miss, are you in a hurry for the restroom or... hey, you there!”
A middle-aged nobleman had just exited the entrance and called out to me. He was shaking off the water from his hands, likely having just finished his business.
