"Of course..."
"Anything is possible."
Tsubaki narrowed her one eye slightly, as though she had thought of someone interesting.
"For example..."
"You've heard that the [Loki Familia] and the [Freya Familia] are called the two strongest Familias in Orario, haven't you?"

"The Gulliver Brothers, known as the [Four Warriors of the Golden Flame]."
"Although they're all Lv.5."
"Those four are so in sync that when they fight together, even a Lv.6 has to steer clear of them."

And so.
When everyone finally finished climbing that long spiral staircase.
"Whoosh-"
An especially fresh breeze blew into their faces.
-The wind from the surface had reached them.
"Finally..."
"We're finally back!!!"
Hanabishi Warabi cheered, jumped off the black bear Fierce Man's
