Last time Leo, Pyra, and the members of of their Adventuring Party stopped in at the Hostess of Fertility to celebrate their mapping of the Fifth Floor. There Leo reconnected with Mia Grand and Ryu Lion, two people he has been close with since his early days as an Adventurer. However their journey to the Eighth Floor continues, what awaits them as they journey deeper?
It had been two days since the visit to the Hostess of Fertility, in that time Leo and Pyra with the help of Riveria, Narvi, and Lefiya managed to map out the Sixth and Seventh Floors. Leo was rather pleased with how rapidly he had been progressing deeper and deeper into the Dungeon. Of course he wasn't ready to celebrate just yet as the next step was traversing the Eighth Floor and hopefully locating the door to the next Ancient Corridor. Leo and Pyra were both seen walking through the streets of Orario, their destination the Dungeon. Walking with them was Riveria, who followed close behind the Driver and Blade.
Pyra: Its a shame that Lefiya and Narvi won't be joining us this time, they helped us get this far, it feels wrong that they won't be with us when we find the next Ancient Corridor.
Leo: They were offered positions on an Expedition Party to the middle floors. I doubt they would pass up such an opportunity. Besides we will most likely be moving at a slower pace today due to our lower party numbers. We'll be lucky if we map most of the Eighth Floor today, much less find the entrance to the next Ancient Corridor.
Riveria listened to the Driver and Blade converse with each other, a knowing smirk on her face.
Riveria's Thoughts: Leo you vastly underestimate how dedicated Lady Loki is to aiding you on this personal quest of yours.
As the trio continue to walk through the street they heard footsteps rapidly approaching them as a voice called out to them.
Bell: Leo!
The trio stopped and turned around to see Bell running up to them while waving. The young Adventurer ran up to the group, he however was dressed in new adventuring clothes. A black shirt, black pants, his standard boots. Simple white armor pieces adorned various parts of his body.
Leo: Bell! It's been a spell since we last spoke, hasn't it?
Bell stopped a few feet in front of Leo, shooting his friend a smile before nodding his head in agreement.
Bell: It has, looks like we both improved since then, thank you for the gift. I honestly don't know if I deserve it.
Leo: Nonsense, you were brave enough to enter the Ancient Corridor with me that day we stumbled upon it. It would be selfish of me not to grant you one of the treasures hidden within it.
Leo shot his friend a thankful smile who in return scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
Pyra: Have you resonated with the Core Crystal yet?
