Last time Leo and Bell entered the strange corridor that opened within the Dungeon. The duo encountered strange monsters that they had never seen before. However the strangest thing they encountered was a girl sealed within a glass container of sorts that seemed to power a weapon she bestowed upon Leo.

Leo, Bell, and Pyra after an hour and a half of traveling finally exited the Dungeon. The sun was starting to set in Orario as it would soon be night time. "Oh the goddess is not going to be happy with me getting home late again." Bell groaned as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Leo as usual was relatively calm, he knew Loki probably wouldn't even notice his absence so he had nothing to fear. Pyra watched her Driver closely, watching him scribble away on the pages of his journal, wondering what exactly he was doing. "Leo, what exactly are you writing in that journal?" Pyra asked as she gave her Driver a curious look. Leo looked over his shoulder at Pyra, a small smirk spreading across his face.

"I am finishing my sketch of a map for that lab you were sealed in. Of course we didn't go to the floor above, so a return trip will be required to complete it." Leo explained as Pyra nodded her head in understanding. Bell however looked over at Leo like he had suddenly grown two extra heads. "You wanna go back there? We don't even know how the Guild will react to an entire hidden section of the Dungeon?!" Bell said in a nervous tone as he could already tell this whole mess would cause an uproar. Leo however seemed unfazed by the whole notion of potential panic running throughout the Guild and potentially the Gods when they made their report. "Bell, Adventurers have been braving the Dungeon for hundreds of years and we still don't know if we've reached the bottom. The truth is, discoveries like these are bound to happen." Leo said in a calm tone as he knew that the Guild would just have to accept it.

Pyra remained silent as she listened to her Driver and his friend speak. Part of her wanted to chime in and share what little information she had, but part of her also thought it was best she bided her time until they met with the officials. Pyra then noticed that Leo and Bell had stopped walking, Pyra followed their gaze and saw a rather large building that had multiple Adventurers walking in and out of it.

"It appears we have arrived." Leo said calmly as he looked over at Bell who simply let out a nervous sigh. "Eina is going to lay into us." Bell groaned, referring to their advisor in the Guild. Leo closed his journal before putting it back in his bag before facing the Guild building once again. "Look on the bright side Bell, Eina will at least make it quick with you." Leo said in a monotone voice as he seemed to never be on their advisor's good side. With that the trio entered the Guild to report in for the day.

Guild
It had maybe been twenty minutes since they had entered the Guild, Bell had already left after getting chewed out and claiming his rewards for his work. Leo and Pyra were sat in one of the private meeting rooms within the Guild that allowed Adventurers and their Advisors to speak in private. "Should we be worried?" Pyra asked nervously from her seat next to Leo. Leo looked over at the red haired girl, seeing her nervously fidget around. "You? Probably not, but me? Eina is probably ready to burn me to a crisp after talking to Bell." Leo said in an oddly calm tone as if he was used to being on the receiving end of the advisor's wrath. As if on cue the door to the room opened as a half-elf woman stormed in. She had short brown hair and emerald green eyes framed by a pair of glasses. She was dressed in the standard Guild attire.
