Eighteen days had passed since they returned from their last Dungeon expedition. After eighteen days of relaxed, carefree life in the Surface World—well, quite a few things had happened during that time too.
For example, the Kali Familia, and then the two War Game incidents with the Apollo Familia and the Ista Familia. At long last, Broly returned to the life an adventurer was supposed to have: entering the Dungeon Labyrinth again and resuming an adventurer's proper daily routine—killing monsters and grinding money.
At that moment, Broly's latest Ability Value had also reached 18s. Defeating adventurer members of other familias who were higher level than him seemed to have been treated by the God's Blessing on his body as a form of fighting monsters above his level, allowing his Ability Value to grow by a considerable degree.
The members heading into the Dungeon this time, aside from Lyu, were Ais, Theiona, Leffia, the White Miko whom Leffia had invited, Tsubaki, who was preparing to test the performance of her newly forged equipment, and Miss Liliruca, who had become free and whom Broly planned to power-level a little.
Of course, besides the seven people above, there were also two girls from the same familia who suddenly ran over that morning as they were about to set out, saying they wanted to go along and see what the Deep Floors were like, as well as the fox person girl whom Broly conveniently invited too.
"Daphne, do you want to go into the Dungeon Labyrinth with Mr. Broly and me?"
"Hah, Cassandra, are you still half-asleep? The Captain is going to the Deep Floors. We two Lv.2 small fry—are we even qualified to go along?"
"But Miss Liliruca is only Lv.1, isn't she? And she's going too."
"She's her, and we're us.
