No one's POV

Currently, Sora and Bell were in the at the guild talking with Eina and Bell said that he want to go to the 7th floor and Eina was surprised.

Eina: The seventh floor?! You almost got yourself killed on the fifth floor not to long ago! What are you going to do on the seventh?! How stupid can you be?

Bell: B-But I've grown up a lot since then...

Sora: His status level have gone up to E as well, Miss Eina!

Eina looked surprise when she heard that.

Eina: What? E? No way...

Sora: Don't worry... I promise to look after him like a big brother would do...

Sora just gave Eina a warm smiled but Eina is still having doubts.

Eina: Hey, Bell, Sora.

Sora and Bell: Y-Yes?

Eina: Could you guys show me, the status carved on your back?

Bell: Eh? B-But isn't status supposed to be kept hidden?

Sora: Yeah! We aren't allowed to show our status to anyone else other than our Familia.

Eina: I won't tell anyone, I promise. I will not read magic and skill slots! Okay I beg you guys!

Bell: But that would mean...

Sora: Taking of our cloths...

Sora and Bell had a blushed on their face and Eina started blushing as well.

Eina: Stop blushing like that, both of you! You're starting to embarrass me as well!

Bell, Sora, and Eina went to the backroom and Sora and Bell took off their cloths so Eina could see it.

Bell's Status: Sora's Status:
STR: E403 STR: SS1750
VTL: H199 VTL: S1050
DEX: D521 DEX: SS1250
AGL: D550 AGL: SSS2570
MAG: 0 MAG: A850

Eina: No way... Sora was right when he said Bell has been training hard. This set of abilities can surely cover the seventh floor.

Eina(mind): Bell's growth is beyond anyone's imagination...! How can it be possible...? Could it be a skill? Does it enable such a rapid growth?

Sora: Can we put our cloths back on?

Bell: Um, are we done yet?

Eina: Ah, i-it's over now!

Eina(mind): With those abilities, I can't help but allow him to go to the seventh floor. But?

Sora then looked at Eina and he saw that she still have doubts and he knew exactly why.

Sora: Bell, I think Eina is right. You shouldn't go to the seventh floor.

Bell: B-But!

Sora: Not in those armor! The armor you're wearing is too shabby to handle the seventh floor.

Eina: That's exactly what I was thinking.

Sora: Here!

Sora then handed Bell a  bag of money and he was shocked by how much was it.

Bell: Wait, how much is this?!

Sora: It's around 300 thousands Valis.

Bell: This is too much! I have to pay you back!

Sora: No worries it's fine! Bell I know you wanted to get stronger, but you aren't going to be able to get stronger without others. So use that money I gave you! And Miss Eina, I hope you don't mind me asking, but can you accompany him tomorrow!

Eina: I don't mind, but what about you? Why can't you come with us?

Sora: I would like to go deeper in the dungeon for a while. I want to see how much I can go on my own.

Eina: I see! Well you can count on it!

Eina then gave Sora a smile and he smiled back and he looked at Bell.

Sora: Bell, I'll probably be home late tomorrow so go on and tell Goddess, okay?

Bell: Okay? Be careful alright?

Sora: Right!

(Timeskip)

Sora woke up early in the morning and saw that Bell had already went armor shopping with Eina. Sora saw that Hestia had already gone for work. Sora quickly got up and get dressed in his adventurer outfit and ran towards the dungeon. Sora was killing monster left and right and before he knew it he was already at the 17th floor.

Sora: Well, I guess that this sort of monster aren't on the same Level anymore?!

???: Sora!

Sora then looked behind him and he saw Asuna, Aiz, Lefiya, Tione, Tiona, Riveria, and Finn walking towards him.

Sora: Asuna? And Loki Familia, what are you guys doing here?

Asuna: We're just strolling through the dungeon. What about you?

Sora: The same as you guys. I'm just collecting as much magic stone as much as I can.

Finn and Riveria then approached him and smiled at him.

Finn: I heard what you did the other day and I wanted to say thank you.

Riveria: Yeah, thank you for saving Lefiya. If it weren't for you she would have died.

Sora then smiled at the two of them.

Sora: Nah, it was nothing, I just did what any other person would do. Saving someone in danger.

Sora then looked at them with a serious looked and the rest of them looked confused.

Sora: But, what is those monster? I never seen anything like it! And it doesn't produce the same magic stone as other monster.

Sora then grabbed something from his pocket and show it to the rest to the Loki Familia and they looked shocked.

Finn: I'm sorry but even we don't know what it is.

Asuna: I think it's best to just forget about it and focus back on the dungeon.

Sora just smiled at them.

Sora: Yeah, I guess you're right! Mind if tag along?

Asuna: Sure.

Sora and Asuna smiled at each other,  suddenly Sora felt a chilled down his spines and he saw that Lefiya is glaring at him and his body started to shivers while Asuna, Aiz, Finn, and Riveria sweat drops and Tione and Tiona just laugh awkwardly.

Sora: U-Uh, is something wrong, Lefiya?

Lefiya: You still haven't told me how you and Miss Asuna know each other?!

Tiona: I would like to know as well?

Tione: So do I?

Aiz: If you don't mind?

Sora: Wait, why didn't you guys just ask Asuna?

Sora looked at Asuna and she just stick her tongue out.

Asuna: I guess it slip my mind.

Sora: -_- Really!

Sora just sigh and he pulled out a piece of paper and show it to them. The rest of the Loki Familia saw it was a picture of Sora and Asuna together smiling.

Sora: I'm sure you guys know that Asuna was once part of the Hera Familia, right?

Everyone other than Asuna nodded at him.

Sora: Well, the Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia had a long relation with one another and that's how I met Asuna. After the Familia was wiped out by the Black Dragon, I decided to go on a journey, while Asuna decided to go to Orario.

Finn: I see...

Everyone saw that Sora and Asuna had a saddened look on their face and Tiona said something that made the mood turn upside down.

Tiona: Oh, are you jealous Lefiya? That Asuna already had a boyfriend?!

Lefiya and Asuna started blushing.

Lefiya: I'M NOT JEALOUS!!

Asuna: HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!

Tione: Your face says otherwise!

(Timeskip)

The Loki Familia and Sora then headed to the 18th Floor, the under resort and when they arrived they heard a commotion in the Rivira and when they got close they heard that there was a murder there.

Adventurer1: Is it true there was a murder?!

Adventurer2: Yeah, it was at Viri's Inn, people are gathering.

Riveria: It's rare for there to be a murder inside the town.

Tione: What should we do, Captain?

Finn: We were planning on using the inn here anyway, even if we want to stay out of it, it'll still affect us.

Sora: Then let's go take a look.

All 8 of them went to look at the scene and when they arrived, there was a huge crowd surrounding the place. They tried to get through but their effort was in vain.

Finn: I'll go take a look. Riveria and everyone, stay here!

Tione: Captain? Wait a moment?!

Finn then slip through the crowd and Tione tried to follow but couldn't. Tione tried asking the people to step aside but her effort was in vain until she finally snap.

Tione: I TOLD YOU TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, RIGHT?! I'LL CRUSH YOU GUYS!!!

The rest of the people got scared and quickly move out of the way so they can let the Loki Familia through while the rest of the sweat drops and Sora just laugh.

Sora: HAHAHAHA! Is she always like that?

Asuna: Pretty much...

Aiz: When it comes to Finn she is like that...

The 8 of them then went inside the inn and as they move further they smelled the sent of blood.

Asuna: This is...

Sora: Yeah...

Sora(mind): Someone was killed.

They opened the door of the room and they saw a death body in front of them and someone else sitting in the bed panicking.

Tiona: Uwaa...

Finn: They did it pretty wildly...

???: Oi you guys, this place is closed off you know!!! What the hell are you doing?!

They looked and saw it was Bors.

The inn taker explain that the suspect was a girl wearing a red robe. And the two of them rent a room for a night together. As Bors is explaining to everyone about what happened last night they heard someone calling for Bors and they saw that they had a status thief. They pour the status thief on the victims body so they can see the persons name and which Familia their in. Riveria and Sora then take a look on the victims.

Sora: His name is Hasharna Dorlia.

Riveria: And his Familia is...

Aiz: The Ganesha Familia...

Everyone looked completely shocked. And Bors shouted.

Bors: WAIT!! HASHARNA IS THE "HARD FIST FIGHTER". HE'S LEVEL 4?!

Everyone looked completely shocked that the person who died was a level 4 adventurer.

Finn: Bors, please let me confirm, have you moved anything here since you found this body?

Bors: There weren't any traces of a fight or someone entering.

Sora: At the very least, level 4. Possibly the killer could be a first class adventurer.

Finn: Exactly.

Aiz: Level 5 the same as us.

Asuna: Or someone with more power.

Sora then looked that there was a bag that is covered in blood and approached it.

Lefiya: Wa-Was this person really killed after being overpowered?

Riveria: He probably was caught of guard, the culprit was able to snap a second-class adventurer neck.

Finn: So she smashed his head after she killed him by breaking his neck? Probably, she had a reason to do that or she might have bean fairly irritated.

Sora: Guys, look at this!

Everyone saw that Sora is holding a quest paper.

Tione: Is that a quest notice?

Sora: Its soaked in blood so I can't read half of it. What i manage to decipher is. 30th floor.... by yourself... retrieve... keep it a secret. From all we can predict is that Hasharna took a job and went to the 30th floor to retrieve something that the culprit was after...

Everyone looked completely shocked and horrified.

Finn: Bors, for now please close of the town. I don't want you to let the adventurer left in Rivira leave. This was a request left to someone of Hasharna caliber. Whatever the culprit was looking for must be pretty important. Assuming she hasn't found it, she wouldn't be able to return empty handed. I think she's definitely still in town. Though that's just my intuation.

Bors: Got it!

(Timeskip)

After closing Rivira, preventing anyone from leaving or entering. Bors gathered every adventurer who was still on Rivira and explained the situation.

Bors: The killer is a woman capable of murdering a Level 4 adventurer! But...! Who knows what sorta powerful men can fall victims to a woman weapons! That is why?

Bors then had a perverted look on his face.

Bors: All the girls are getting a full body inspection! Clothes off!

All of the boys adventurers other than Finn and Sora started cheering while the girl adventurers started shouting "NO WAY".

Riveria: Don't be ridiculous. We'll be the ones to inspect the woman.

Lefiya: Okay everyone, please line up...

Lefiya saw that All of the women started surrounding Finn and Sora and they wanted them to inspect them.

Girl1: Finn! Hurry and inspect me!

Girl2: No! Inspect me my Flashing hero!

Finn and Sora just sweat drops and the other adventurers felt a chill down their spine and they saw Tione and Asuna glaring at the Girls and started pushing them off Sora and Finn. Riveria started shaking her head while Aiz and Lefiya just sigh.

Aiz: Um...

Lefiya: I don't know what's what anymore.

Aiz then noticed one girl adventurer was running away and Aiz chase after her and Lefiya followed her.

Aiz(mind): That girl...

Lefiya: Miss Aiz!

While Aiz and Lefiya is chasing after the girl. A hooded figure man wearing a black armor was looking at them.

(Timeskip)

Currently, the unknown adventurer is still running away from all of the crowd and she looked back and saw that Lefiya is chasing after her and she wonder what happened to Aiz. While she was lost in thought Aiz managed to intercept her and now is standing right in front of her. The unknown adventurer looked surprise and her feet started shaking and she fell to her knees.

Lefiya: Miss Aiz! We finally caught up to her!

The unknown adventurer continued to stay on her knees horrified and Aiz looked confused.

Lefiya: Maybe we should leave the interrogations to the Captain rather than ourselves.

Aiz: Agreed. Let's return to the square.

The unknown adventurer eyes widened and tears appeared on her eyes.

Girl: No! No, please! Don't! If I go back there, it'll be me who...who...

The Girl started crying and hugged Lefiya tightly refusing to let go and Aiz and Lefiya looked confused as they don't know what to do.

(Timeskip)

Nighttime arrived and after Aiz and Lefiya managed to calm down the girl, the girl spoke up.

Lulune: My name is Lulune. Lulune Louie, Hermes Familia.

Lefiya: Why did you run away?

Lulune then looked away completely horrified.

Lulune: I thought someone would kill me...

Lefiya: Kill you?

Aiz saw that Lulune is holding a bag tightly and she spoke up.

Aiz: By any chance... do you have Hasharna possession?

Lulune looked completely and utterly shocked.

Lefiya: Do those really belong to Hasharna, the man who was murdered?

Lulune then nodded her head.

Lulune: Yes...

Lefiya: Where did you get them?

Lulune: I got a quest. All i had to do was go to a tavern and pick up a package.

Lefiya: And the person who gave it to you was Hasharna.

Lulune: Yes. So when I heard that a man in full plate armor had been killed, I was so scared...

Aiz: Who was the client that hired you?

Lulune: I don't know...

Lulune then looked at the both of them.

Lulune: It's the truth! I was just walking down the street the other night, and this weird person in a robe appeared outta nowhere. I thought it seemed a little fishy, but, you see, the reward was so good that I...

Lulune then looked down again and had a face of regret.

Lulune: I wish I'd never accepted that request. If that man was really murdered because of this package...

Aiz then raised her hand.

Aiz: Then, we can take it for you.

Lulune then looked surprised.

Lulune: What?

Aiz the nodded her head and Lulune gave her the bag.

Lulune: All right.

Lefiya: We can take a look, right?

Lulune: Yes. I was told not to show it to anybody, but...

Aiz then opened the bag and the two of them looked completely shocked to see it was an orb and had a baby monster inside of it. And Aiz is starting to have a panicked attack.

Aiz(mind): This feeling...

The baby monster then opened its eyes and glared at Aiz and her panicked attack starting to get worse and she dropped the orb.

Aiz(mind): What is this...?

Lefiya: Miss Aiz!

Aiz breathing starting to get worse as she continues to hold her head.

The baby monster then closed its eyes and above the certain mountain the same hooded figure then whistle. Then suddenly the lake at Rivira started to boil and something is coming up to the surface. Back with Aiz, Lefiya, and Lulune, Aiz finally started to calmed down.

Lefiya: Are you all right, Miss Aiz?

Aiz: I'm fine...

Lulune: Think that thing's dangerous after all?

Lefiya then looked at the Orb she was holding.

Lefiya: It doesn't do anything to me when I'm holding it, though...

Lefiya then put it back on the bag and picked it up.

Lefiya: I'll take responsibility for this and bring it to the Captain.

Aiz: I'm sorry, Lefiya...

Lefiya: It's all right. Please let me handle this. Well let-

Before Lefiya could finished her sentence they heard an explosion at Rivira and they saw it was the same plant monster that appeared on MonsterPhilia.

Lefiya: Those are the...!

Aiz and Lefiya, and Lulune continued to looked at the plants as they looked completely and utterly shocked.
