At this moment, Loki was busy re-establishing her relationship with Haimo, completely failing to notice that her own Familia member was in dire straits.
...
Finally,
Guild Headquarters.
Haimo's group arrived.
As the core institution managing the affairs of all Orario Adventurers, even at this hour, the hall was still crowded with people.
The numbers were vast.
Adventurers turning in quests, exchanging money, looking for teammates, or simply bragging and chatting caused the space to be filled with a noisy hum.
Except,
when Haimo's group pushed open the doors and entered,
all the sounds came to a halt.
"That... that is..."
At a consultation counter directly facing the main entrance.
Eina Tulle, a Half-Elf girl, was looking down, organizing a mountain of documents.
Noticing the hall had suddenly become unusually quiet, she subconsciously looked up.
And then.
*Screech—*
A sharp sound rang out.
The expensive quill in her hand slipped, drawing a shocking ink streak directly across the important document she had spent all afternoon painstakingly organizing and was about to file.
But at this moment.
Eina could no longer spare the heart to grieve for her document.
"Lord... Lord Heimdall?!"
Eina's beautiful emerald-green eyes widened into perfect circles.
Of course.
It wasn't just this that caused Eina to lose her composure.
It was more because...
*Thud!*
*Thud!*
*Thud!*
Kashima, Mikoto, and the others were seen stepping forward, panting heavily.
They heavily dropped several giant canvas bundles from their backs, which looked like they were about to crush them, onto the floor in front of the counter.
"Huff... huff..."
Kashima straightened her back and wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling as if she had come back to life.
"This..."
Eina watched all of this.
An extremely absurd conjecture surfaced in her mind.
"Miss... Miss Tsubaki..."
Eina swallowed hard, her throat feeling a bit dry.
"Are you... is this..."
"Could this be..."
"Another day's harvest for the Heimdall Familia?"
"What else could it be?"
"What? You don't believe it?"
Tsubaki smiled brilliantly, her single eye curving into a beautiful arc.
"No... it's not that..."
Eina's voice was somewhat ethereal.
She glanced at the volume of those bundles, then at the panting members of the Takemikazuchi Familia.
"It's just, Miss Tsubaki..."
Eina swallowed with some difficulty, her voice trembling slightly.
"Which floor... did you go to today?"
"The 13th floor,"
Tsubaki said.
She also looked back at Amahuha Zanzan, who was standing with her arms crossed looking bored, and shrugged.
"If it weren't for the bundles being full."
"And the fear that these little fellows would go too crazy with the killing and forget the time."
"We might have even strolled down another two floors."
"..."
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
Immediately following.
"The 13th... 13th floor?!"
"The front lines?!"
"It's only the second day and they've already reached the middle floors?"
