"Awake now, did you sleep well?"
"Hmm! I even dreamed of a really pretty big sister who talked to me about lots of interesting things..."
The little girl quickly woke up and began to excitedly recount her dream while being carried on her father's back.
"Oh, like what?"
"She said the Dungeon is actually a big gorilla!"
"...You mean a star? But why a star?"
Watching the father and daughter gradually disappear into the distance, from the shadows beside them, a charming young girl with golden hair slowly stepped out.
It was the Hero transformed into Alice.
"Good, successfully entered."
After deciding to head to the Starless Dungeon, she made no delay. After a brief farewell with the Fourteenth Princess, she directly used Returning Star to fly to the Ancient City.
As for the look of astonishment from the Fourteenth Princess as she reached out, it was probably a gesture to keep her friend.
