"Do you mind?"
Ryu took a look behind him and found a human girl looking over at him with an arrogant face and haughty pout.
Ryu was surprised. How did he miss her from the crowds?
"The girl with golden pigtails."
Cathy was surprised, too, upon seeing Ryu. "Ah. The ignorant halfbreed."
Ryu ignored what she just called him and roamed his gaze, "Where's your companion?"
"You mean Nash? We got separated in this dungeon," she said with a nonchalant voice. "What about you? Where's your master?"
Ryu couldn't speak.
Cathy gave an elegant half-shrug. "Separated too, huh? Welp, don't worry, if you both survive here, you'll reunite in the real world sooner or later."
Ryu knew she was just saying it without really meaning what she said. But it did alleviate some of Ryu's worries.
