Chapter 27 - Going deep into dungeon

The morning sun shines through the window and Miyuki woke up lazily.

It's been a few days since Lili's matter was resolved.

During these days Miyuki didn't go too deep into the dungeon and just honed his skills on the seventeenth floor.

Because he didn't fight strong monsters, Miyuki didn't update his ability value.

"Well, it's time to get up." Miyuki yawned and got off the bed.

After washing off, he came to the living room and saw Lili and Hestia.

"Good morning Lili and Hestia." Miyuki greeted Hestia and Lili.

"Good morning Miyuki x2"

"Miyuki-sama are we going to the seventeenth floor again," Lili asked curiously.

"No, today we will go lower floors of the dungeon and I have an appointment with someone. So, we have to go early." Miyuki shook his head and said after thinking for a moment.

"Lower floors of the dungeon." Both Hestia and Lili couldn't hide their surprise.

You know that not only the strength of monsters increasing as they go deeper, but even the number also increases exponentially.

Even a high-level adventurer may die if goes to the lower floors alone.

Although Miyuki's strength is comparable to first-level adventurers, they still can't understand why he wants to go to the lower floors.

"Why are going to lower floors." Hestia couldn't hold herself back and ask.

"Well, my ability value will not increase if continued to exercise on the middle floors. So, I need to go to the lower floors of the dungeon." Miyuki spoke in a helpless tone. If he doesn't go to the lower floors then not only can he not get stronger but even the system will not be able to recover in a year or two.

Not only that, he still has an appointment with Ais. He also needs to fulfill it.

What's more, the system released a mission a few days ago.

[ Mission Name: True Ancestors pride

Introduction: As a true ancestor you don't have a follower which is a shame.

Task: Turn Ais Wallenstien into your blood follower and make her an existence between true ancestors and the dead apostles.

Sucessful sign-in Reward: 1,000 points, and additional reward depending on completion. ]

Looking at the mission on his system panel, Miyuki has another reason to go. After all, he needs to meet Ais if he wants to complete this mission.

Hestia and Lili became speechless after hearing Miyuki's reason.

"Well, Hestia I will be in the dungeon for about half a month, so, don't worry if we come back late." Miyuki thought for a while and informed his approximate time of stay.

"Promise me that you will not put yourself in danger." Hestia didn't stop Miyuki from going to the lower floors, she just asked him to keep himself safe.

"Okay, I promise to take care of myself." Rubbing his cute goddess's head, Miyuki spoke with a bright smile.

After talking to Hestia for a while, Miyuki left the house with Lili.

Miyuki was confident that he could protect Lili even on the lower floors, so, he took her.

Leaving the family, Miyuki met Syr and had breakfast with her, Lili, and Ryuu.

For the past few days, Syr would meet Miyuki in the morning and give him breakfast. It's just because Miyuki thought it wasn't good to leave a girl alone. So, he had breakfast together with all the girls.

Due to his often visits to the Hostess of fertility, his relationship with Ryuu has enhanced a lot. So, even she usually eats with him, Syr, and Lili.

After they finished eating, Miyuki said goodbye to Syr and Ryuu and walked towards the dungeon with Lili.

...

While Miyuki was walking towards the dungeon, a heated discussion was going on in the Loki Familia.

Loki Familia residence,

All the main members including the main god Loki were gathered in the living room.

The atmosphere was unusually serious and everyone looked at Ais who was sitting in front of Loki.

Even Loki lost her usual hippy look and looked at Ais with a serious look.

"Ais, what you said is true?" Loki looked at Ais and asked.

"Hmm, he did promise me that I can become stronger." Ais nodded and spoke very simply and then fell silent.

"Finn, Riveria, what do you think about this matter? Is the other party reliable?" Loki sighed and looked at Finn and Riveria.

"The other party's magic attainment is very high and his character is quite good. So, I don't think he will deceive us." Riveria thought of the boy she met and said.

She felt quite a cordial feeling from that boy, so, she didn't think that boy was a bad person.

What's more, she came back from the dungeon while watching him. So, basically understood that the other party was quite kind and gentle person.

"What about you, Finn." Loki turned her head and looked at Finn.

"Well, I agree with Riveria. Although I didn't stay with that boy for long, my intuition tells me that what he said shouldn't be a lie." Finn rubbed his thumb and spoke.

"Ahh, I don't care, Ais-chan can't leave me." Hearing both Finn and Riveria agree with that boy, Loki immediately lost her majesty and spoke in a defiant tone like a child.

"This..." Members of the Loki Familia were speechless when they saw Loki's action.

"Loki, don't cry and decide quickly whether to agree with Ais' request or reject her?" Riveria held her forehead and said.

"Ais-chan..." Hearing Riveria Loki once again turned 180° and returned her serious look.

"That boy is going to take you to the dungeon to help you become stronger, right?"

"Hmm." Ais nodded.

"How long will it take." Loki rubbed her head helplessly and returned to her listless look while speaking.

In fact, Loki would never disagree with any of Ais's requests.

The reason she inquired so much and showed a willful side like a child was that Loki really cared for Ais. She didn't want Ais to be cheated on and then be hurt because she didn't want to become stronger.

"Um... He said more than half a month." Ais thought for a while and spoke.

"I allow you to go on special training but..." Loki said and immediately returned to her serious self again.

"Lefiya will follow you. I can't be reassured if you go alone" Saying so, Loki looked at Lefiya with inquiring look.

"I will follow." Lefiya immediately agreed.

She admired Ais from the bottom of her heart. So, she was happy to agree to a request which could allow her to be alone with Ais.

"Dungeon,...alone with Miss Ais...hehe..." Lefiya laughed wretchedly and lost herself in delusion.

"Loki are you sure that it will be ok to let Lefiya follow?" Tiona's mouth twitched when she Lefiya's idiotic look and she asked Loki in a worried tone.

"It's okay." Loki shook her head and said.

"Are you happy Ais?" Loki looked at Ais who has a faint smile and said.

"Hmm." Ais nodded. She was really happy that Loki agree to let her leave the family for more than half a month.

"Then Ais-chan, give us a hug." The serious look of Loki changed into a funny look and she jumped at Ais.

Boom

Ais immediately avoided Loki and Loki hit the sofa.

"Haha..." Loki's action and Ais's reaction made everyone in the room laugh.

For the next few minutes, Loki's voice of crying and howling sounded in the familia.

After Loki's funny show was over, Ais left with the Loki Familia with Lefiya and walked towards the dungeon plaza.

"By the Bete wasn't here otherwise the fun should have much more." Tiona looked at leaving Ais and said.

"It should be a good thing that Bete wasn't here. If he was then I don't know what would happen..." Tione on the side hit Tiona's head and said.

....

Right at the entrance of the dungeon, Miyuki was standing with Lili.

"Miyuki-sama are we waiting for someone," Lili asked because Miyuki didn't go into the dungeon but stood outside for about half-hour.

"Hmm, we are indeed waiting for someone." Miyuki nodded.

"Well, she is here." Miyuki saw the figure he was waiting for and said.

"Miss Ais." Lili looked at the figure Miyuki pointed to and exclaimed. She didn't expect that Miyuki was waiting for Ais.

"Could Miyuki-sama be planning to team up?" Lili looked at Miyuki's side face and thought.

Miyuki just told her that he will go to the lower floors.

Going to lower floors is dangerous yet he still brought her.

Adding these two points Lili naturally thought that Miyuki teamed with Ais.

"You're here." Miyuki looked at the beautiful blond girl in front of him and greeted her.

"Well..." Ais responded with a greeting and then fell silent.

Seeing Ais fall silent, Miyuki didn't know what to say.

Just then Miyuki noticed a beautiful elf girl behind Ais.

The girl with Ais had golden yellow hair, round dark blue eyes, and pointy ears. She was wearing a rosette pink cape on top of a white shirt and a pink corset dress, with a purple bow hanging at the collar.

Under the morning sunlight, the elf girl looked quite beautiful.

"Who is this?" Miyuki looked at Ais with inquiring look.

Although he had certain guesses, he still needed to confirm it from Ais.

"Lefiya, my companion. Loki sent her." Ais introduced Lefiya to Miyuki and Lili.

"I understand." Miyuki nodded, expressing his understanding.

He understood that Loki wasn't reassured by letting Ais follow him alone, so she sent Lefiya.

"Well, Hello," Miyuki spoke and stretched out his hand.

"Hello." The moment Lefiya saw Miyuki, she felt cordial feelings from him, so, she shook her hand with him in a daze.

"Huh! You can touch Lefiya." Ais saw the interaction between Miyuki and Lefiya and spoke with surprise.

"Why? Is there any problem in shaking hands?" Miyuki asked.

"What!" It was only after hearing Ais and Miyuki's voices that Lefiya reacted. She immediately took back her hands and blushed.

"What's the matter with you? Didn't we just hold hands? Is there any need to react like this?" Miyuki saw Lefiya's action and once again became puzzled.

Could it be, he did something wrong by shaking hands?

Lefiya didn't answer Miyuki, she just looked at him with a blushing face.

"Miyuki-sama, the girl in front of you is an elf." Lili looked at puzzled Miyuki and said, "You just shook your hands with her, this means you can touch her."

"What's the matter with touching." By now, Miyuki had remembered the setting of elves in Danmachi but he still asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Elves in this world are a very proud race and they are quite reserved by nature. This causes them to abhor physical contact with people from other races. Even Gods can't touch elves."

"Only people with pure hearts can touch elves without arousing their disgust."

Lili held her forehead helplessly and said, "What you did now is equivalent to touching an elf's hand."

"Just now, Miss Lefiya didn't respond when you touched her...."

"Should Miyuki-sama be able to understand why Miss Lefiya reacted like this."

"I understand." Miyuki nodded. He has already recalled the setting of elves, so, he basically understood why Lefiya reacted like that.

"I am sorry for touching you without consent." Miyuki immediately apologized.

"That, it doesn't matter," Lefiya spoke and shook her. Although she cared about being touched, the real reason for her big reaction just now was that Miyuki was the first male to touch her.

If it wasn't for the cordial feeling given by Miyuki, she might have already launched an attack under extreme shyness.

After the little episode of Lefiya, the relationship between Miyuki, Lili, Ais, and Lefiya drew closer.

"Let's go," Miyuki said and walked into the dungeon.

"Yes, x3." Ais, Lili, and Lefiya nodded and followed.
