Chapter 109 – I want to invite Luan to the dungeon (Ais’s POV)
When I returned to the mansion, Hestia and Lili were very curious about the artist, so I told them about her. Her calm and pleasant personality... But she just seemed a bit nervous.
Maybe because she''s my fan.
But Hestia and Lili seemed interested only in Be''s appearance.
"I''ve never seen a woman who looks like her before. White hair and red eyes, right? She sounds beautiful from the way you described her," Lili said.
She seems to be suspicious of something. Is she suspecting that I''ve fallen for Be?
"Did you happen to fall in love with her?" Hestia asked!
I immediately denied it.
"Of course not, I was just surprised when I saw her because she reminded me of someone."
"Hmmm... Who is this person? A friend?"
"Not a friend, an adventurer I knew. He had white hair and red eyes like Be. I was pretty shocked when I saw her."
"I see. I''ve never seen an adventurer like that before..."
"I don''t know where he is, he disappeared." I smiled bitterly at Hestia, and she seemed to have misunderstood. She probably thinks this adventurer disappeared inside the dungeon or is dead!
"I''m sorry," she said, with a sad expression.
I said before that I wasn''t even friends with this person. Why would you think I''d be sad?
"I want to keep working with her now that I''ve met the artist. She''s very talented and likes my book. She''s quite a dedicated fan! She could tell me every detail of the first book."
"I can do that too! I also remember every detail of the second book! Has she even read it?"
"What is this, apetition to see who''s the biggest fan?" I startedughing at Lili. What was that? Jealousy?
I don''t know who''s the biggest fan of my book, but if I had to say, it''s Lili.

<strong>*Ais''s POV*</strong>
I finally finished reading the second volume of the novel written by Luan. And what can I say? It''s even better than the first volume. I didn''t think it could improve, but it''s fantastic.
Luan has improved his writing even more. I''m not a writer, but I can tell.
''I wonder when the third volume will be released... The second volume didn''t have an ending, it was an extremely well-done cliffhanger.''
Seriously, I''m very excited.
I got out of bed after finishing reading. It''s been a while since we went to the dungeon, and since it''s morning, I decided to gather the group to head to the dungeon. However... I want to talk to Luan.
Should I forget about the dungeon and go to his house? But I still don''t know where he lives. Does Tiona know?
As I thought of her, Tiona entered the room.
"Ais, are you there?" She peeked into the room and then carefully walked in. Ever since thest time she suddenly entered and Luan saw me almost naked, she''s been very cautious about opening my door.
But I had to argue with her a lot.
"I''m here, I just finished reading the second volume."
"You only finished now? I finished it a long time ago."
"I don''t read as fast as you, I prefer to read slowly and imagine everything."
"Alright, alright. But I came here to talk about today''s dungeon exploration. Bete said he''s not feeling well and won''t go."
"What''s wrong with him?"
"He didn''t tell me, but he locked himself in his room and isn''t in the mood to talk. What do you want to do? Do you want to cancel the exploration?"
When I heard Tiona, my eyebrows raised. And why? Because the image of Luan came to my mind.
Luan isn''t as strong as Bete, but he''s an adventurer like us. Shouldn''t we invite him to join us? What would Tiona and Tione think of that?
"Ais? Are you listening?"
"No, it''s fine."
"Do you really want to go? I don''t think it''s a good idea."
"Do you happen to know where Luan lives?" When she heard Luan''s name, Tiona gave me a mischievous smile.
"Luan? Hmmm... Interesting."
"What''s up? I just wanted to invite him to the dungeon since Bete won''t go. I also want to ask him about the third volume."
"Is that really why?"
"Of course! I only care about his book, I don''t care about him."
"I see..." Tiona still kept her mischievous smile. "But I don''t know where he lives, why don''t you go to the library and ask? The librarian must know. I''ve never been to his mansion."
"Mansion?"
"Yes, mansion. Would a famous guy like him live in a regr house? I''m sure he has a huge house."
"You''re right..."
It''s true! Luan is very famous and has made a lot of money. He''s better than I thought. Besides being handsome, he''s rich and knows how to fight. Isn''t he the perfect man?
''No, if he were perfect, he''d be as strong or stronger than me.''
"Do you really want to invite him toe with us?" Tiona asked.
I thought it over again and decided to confirm it. I told Luan I would take him out to eat something. I can take this opportunity to invite him.
For some reason, just thinking about it makes my heart race.
So, I asked Tiona to go to the library and ask the librarian for Luan''s address.
But unfortunately, she didn''t want to give it.
I had to give up going to the dungeon today.
