"Hahaha, the battle felt so easy. Hehe, I wonder how much my stats will improve when I go back this time?"
"No wonder the Loki familia loves expeditions so much, it really helps adventurers gt stronger very quickly."
"Ah, Akira, I want to take a shower and put on makeup, otherwise, I will stink and my face will look ugly." Iska complained.
She was the only Amazoness in the Astraea familia.
Although she liked revealing clothes, at most it would only make Ryuu complain a little, and she was not more excessive than other Amazonesses.
However, the strange thing about Iska is that she pays more attention to dressing up rather than men or struggle.
In the Astraea familia, it is said that her makeup skills rank first. To be honest, she may be the most "girly".
Akira responded loudly, "That's after we reach the safe floor on the 29th floor. Right nw, even if you tell me, there's nothing I can do."
Then he added loudly, "Do you want me to use magic to bathe you while holding up a mirror for you to put on makeup?"
Iska kicked a monster and replied with a big laugh, "Really? Love you, Akira!"
With a backpack as tall as a person in one hand, Akira slashed the monster attacking from behind with a sword and half-helplessly shouted, "Of course it's impossible!!? You stupid Amazoness!"
Akira and Celty picked up the magic stones on the ground, and occasionally valuable materials would appear.
In this regard, the Astraea familia adopted an equal division system.
No matter whether it was Ryuu, Alise or Akira, no matter how well they performed in the expedition, the loot they got in the end would be divided equally among them.
This is the choice made by the children of the goddess of justice. It is precisely because everyone works together and moves forward that they can grow so fast.
Of course, although nominally the income is divided equally, in reality, everyone should keep a portion as pocket money for their daily expenses, and most of the rest of the money should be consciously deposited in a treasury specially set up by the familia so that it can be centralized and allocated for unified use.
After all, only by rationally planning the use of funds in this way can the entire familia develop and grow better.
At this moment, a cry of surprise was heard.
"Oh, we have reached the 29th floor!"
When everyone heard this, excitement appeared on their faces.
After spending a night on the 29th floor, they set out again.
Because Amphisbaena had been defeated by Akira and his team, it would take a month for it to be resurrected, so they only needed to deal with the monsters gathered in the lake.
Just as everyone was happily heading towards the 26th floor, something unexpected happened.
Ryuu, who was in charge of reconnaissance at the front of the team, suddenly lost her previous relaxed and happy expression and returned to the team with a serious face.
The companions who had been chatting and laughing along the way in a harmonious atmosphere, put away their smiles instantly and quickly entered a state of high alert after noticing Ryuu's unusual expression.
Alise immediately asked, "What happened ahead, Ryuu?"
Ryuu frowned, took a deep breath and said slowly, "The road ahead is blocked by others. Although I was only observing from a distance, I suspect they are most likely from a secret faction."
Having said this, Ryuu's expression became more serious.
"Suspected to be a secret faction?" Alise said softly.
"It should be Evilus. Didn't the Guild report that Evilus was active in the dungeon recently? Although we haven't found any trace of them, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the dungeon is too big."
Although Lyra had a smile on her face, there was no smile in her eyes.
"Perhaps they discovered that we were on a deep expedition and thought that even if we managed to complete the exploration, we would definitely suffer heavy losses, so they plan to ambush us on the way."
"After all, it has been a long time since Evilus viewed the Astraea familia as a thorn in their side."
Lyra looked like a dwarf, but her words didn't match her appearance. Although her opinions are usually blunt and unkind, she is an indispensable intellectual figure in the familia.
"Really? Can't these guys just find a corner and die by themselves? They always cause trouble for others!"
"Isn't this normal? If they didn't cause trouble to others, they wouldn't be called Evilus." The girls murmured.
You know, the Evilus is an outright terrorist organization.
They cruelly brainwash innocent civilians, regard them as worthless tools and use them as human bombs.
Such inhumane acts are commonplace for this evil organization.
"Don't worry, everyone. I'll take care of everything." Alise's cheerful and energetic voice was able to warm their hearts.
She was not as smart as Lyra, and not as reliable as Kaguya.
But if anything unexpected happens, the person that everyone can trust and rely on unconditionally is this captain who will never give up easily and will always move forward courageously.
What's more... at this moment, several girls in unison gently stroked the necklaces worn below their necks, and then turned their eyes to the reassuring black-haired boy beside them.
With just such a brief glance, the turbulent emotions in their hearts were calmed down by a spring breeze and mostly dissipated in an instant.
Then, Alise turned to Ais and asked in a slow tone, "Ais-chan, if you meet someone from Evilus later, will you fight?"
"Yes, if you are not used to it, you can just stay behind to protect Maryuu and the others." Akira advised gently.
Everyone's eyes were on the youngest child among them.
Although Ais is also a Lv. 3 adventurer, she is only a nine-year-old child who has only hunted monsters in the dungeon. Riveria will not let her do things like killing humans.
Knowing that everyone was concerned about her, Ais said firmly, "It doesn't matter, I'm also strong, I want to fight with you all!"
Akira and Alise looked at each other.
"I understand. Let's work hard together, Ais." Akira stroked her head and said with a chuckle, "But you must listen to everyone's instructions during the battle."
"Um!"
Seeing this scene, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
Then, under Alise's instructions, everyone began to restore themselves to their best condition.
Looking at the members who were ready for battle, Alise showed a satisfied and cheerful smile and said, "Let's go, let them see that justice will surely defeat evil!"
"Why haven't you come yet?"
