Having eaten a great breakfast at the café, both Lucia and Poe returned to the sleeping quarters to get Ivy. They were both surprised that Ivy did not come join them at the café, but did not really mind, as it would be much more relaxing that way.
Ivy was sitting in front of the sleeping quarters waiting, just for them and as soon as she saw Poe and Lucia in the distance, she jumped up and bounced towards Poe and Lucia, while showing her most brilliant smile ever.
"Lucia, Poe, we have been fighting all day yesterday right?"
"Yes?"
Answered Lucia with a little doubt in her voice, what was her big sister planning on this time?
"Then why don't we go to the public bath and clean ourselves before going out to hunt monsters again?"
Hearing her big sister's suggestion, Lucia immediately knew what direction her big sister was going for, but they could really use a bath, so she decided to accept for now. Protecting Poe would 100 % be her top priority.
"Okay let's go then"
Lucia said as she dragged Poe and Ivy towards the public bath, it seemed that Poe had also found out that Ivy would most likely want the bath time to have some special time together with Poe.
As they made it to the public bath, Lucia was the one who paid, as always…
"Hello, how may I serve you?"
A handsome man showed up at the desk and asked the moment they got to the desk.
"2 people for the female bath and 1 for private bath"
"Ah, that will be 40 copper, is that all?"
"Yes thank you."
Lucia expected Ivy to fight back when she decided to buy the private bath for Poe, but against all expectations, she did not say a word. This on the other hand only seemed to worry Lucia more than before, just what was her big sister planning to do?
As they entered the bath, Poe went to the area for private bathing, while Lucia and Ivy went to the public female bath.
Both Lucia and Ivy soon started to clean themselves while Poe also started cleaning himself in the private bath area, but all good and quiet thing would end at some point and this one was soon ended by a shrill scream coming from a girl, who was bathing in the female bath.
Looking towards the reason, Lucia saw a certain someone hugging the short and cute girl.
"Wait… Her target was not Poe, but just to enter the public bath!? DAMNIT, how could I forget that I never went with her to the public bath for this reason?"
Lucia said to herself as she rushed towards Ivy, hitting Ivy on the head, Lucia apologized several times on her big sisters behavior before dragging her to a corner of the bathing house.
While Lucia was trying to control her sister, Poe was sitting in the private bath quietly, enjoying the peace and quit. The warm water was all the way up to his head when he sat down and it was quite enjoyable to just submerge completely under the water. Sadly, all good things must end at some point and Poe soon finished cleaning himself up.
After that, he put on his clothes and exited the bath.
What waited for him outside was Ivy beaming happily with a smile all over her face and a Lucia, who was definitely not so happy.
"W-what happened?"
Poe asked, unsure of exactly what happened to make Ivy so happy and Lucia so sad and what looked like anger present on her face.
"Poe, remember when I said that she likes all small and cute things?"
"Yes?"
Not knowing where this was going, Poe decided to just answer for now and see where this went for now.
"It means all small and cute things! Now tell me… What do you think will happen if we let this pervert into a public bath filled with small and cute things?"
"T-th-that is...!"
"Exactly… This is one of the reason she is banned from all public baths back home…"
Having realized what Lucia was getting at, Poe started to feel bad for all the innocent cute little girls that happened to be present when that pervert entered the public bath…
At least only people 15 years and older could enter the training ground or else law enforcement would have most likely come after Ivy…
The only reason they were not thrown out, was that Lucia managed to calm down the victims by saying that Ivy had some mental disease and that she was a girl and not a man, so no big damage was done… Other than the physiological damage, she might have left behind…
Hearing this, Poe could only look at the satisfied Ivy in horror.
Just what had she done to those poor girls…!? What physiological damage!?
Poe was slowly starting to grow more scared of Ivy than ever, but at the same time started to admire Lucia more and more, just how brave did you need to be to face off against that pervert?
Having finished with the bath and having resolved the cases that were now around a certain someone, Poe, Lucia and Ivy made their way outside the town.
"By the way, Ivy seems to have reached level 14 and I have reached level 13, so how about we get Poe to level 10 before going to the 4 floor? We can just have Ivy help us level up there, as it will be much faster than just hunting monsters on the same level as us."
Hearing Lucia's suggestion, both Poe and Ivy agreed, it seemed that nothing could pose a challenge to the dreadful fire lord Ivy on the 3'rd floor…
[Ivy, human fire lord, lvl 14]
Wait, why did it change to fire lord?
After asking Lucia about it, it seemed that the class Ivy chose helped her get a level 10 path called the path of the fire lord and that might be why it changed, it might also be because she loved fire so much and always used it...
[Lucia, human earth mage, lvl 13]
Nothing really changed on Lucia's side, maybe it was because Poe subconsciously acknowledged Ivy as a fire lord, even if she was only walking on the path of one, she would still be one in the future and therefor the system just updated her status and called her a fire lord.
Lucia also said that she was just a fire mage for her, looks like it really was Poe just acknowledging Ivy as a fire lord…
Ivy also got happy when she learned about Poe seeing her as a real fire lord…
