Last time Leo and Pyra began their journey to the Eighth Floor with the help of some of their Familia Members. So far they've mapped out Floors Three to Five and are more raring to map out floors Six to Eight. However Riveria has invited Leo to grab dinner at a popular bar they frequent to celebrate successful trips into the Dungeon.
It was night time in Orario as the moon and stars shone in the sky above. Leo and Pyra followed behind Riveria, Lefiya, and Narvi as they walked through the streets of the mostly quiet town.
Narvi: So Leo, have you tried a lot of the restaurants here in Orario? If not I know a few good ones.
Leo turned his attention towards Narvi, who was smiling at him over her shoulder.
Leo: No I'm afraid, I usually only make enough Valis to afford cheap meals or cheap ingredients. Pyra has taken up cooking so me hunting for low priced food at food stalls has come to an end if slightly.
Marci's expression morphed into a look of concern, Riveria and Lefiya also shot the young man worried looks over their shoulders. Pyra grimaced, she knew her Driver had a low income due to being stuck on the First and Second Floors of the Dungeon for so long.
Lefiya: Didn't you take a sizable payout from the treasure we recovered in the Ancient Corridor?
Leo cocked his head to the side in confusion while Pyra let out a frustrated groan.
Leo: Why would I do that? The Expedition Party found that treasure as a team, therefore it is only logical it is put back into the Familia as a whole.
Narvi and Lefiya looked at Leo dumbfounded as he still gave most of the treasure to the Familia despite his money problems. Pyra looked rather frustrated with her Driver, while she adored his kind heart and logical mindset, sometimes those traits caused a great deal a trouble for Leo himself. Riveria however let a stern expression, one only a mother could have when looking at their child could make.
Riveria: Young man, you and I are having a long talk about ensuring one's own financial stability. Do I make myself clear?
Leo turned to look at Riveria, his body tensing up as he sensed the dark aura radiating off of the Veteran Adventurer.
Leo: Y-Yes Ma'am......
Riveria nodded her head in approval before she stopped walking, Narvi and Lefiya stopping as well. Leo and Pyra came to a stop before turning to look at the building they had all halted in front of. It was a rather quaint bar with a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Leo: The Hostess of Fertility?
Riveria, Lefiya, and Narvi all turned to look at Leo, surprised he was familiar with the bar they frequented.
Narvi: I thought you said you didn't go to many restaurants?
Leo: I've eaten here a few times, the owner is such a wonderful woman. She would give me a meal and I would pay her back by being a dish cleaner. I even worked here when I was recovering from injuries preventing me from braving the Dungeon.
