Taking the painting off the wall, I attempted to hide it beneath my shirt, but... it was far too big as the frame peaked out from below my new cloak. Even if it were smaller, it wouldn't have worked as the guards would have easily spotted it through the abnormal shape of my cloak.
The number of people in the emergency exit area was dwindling, so sooner or later, someone would notice the fact that I was holding a painting and call me out.
Taking out my smartwatch, I immediately sent a message.
[Ren: Outside the museum emergency exit, now.]
Completely covering my face with my new cloak, I activated the dash's usage period before instantly pushing aside everyone with my awakened strength and sprinting through.
Like Moses parted the Red Sea, I created a path through the crowd of civilians by simply pushing them away with my hands.
Nearing the security checkpoint, I slowed to a walking pace and patiently watched.
