"But, Miss Filvis, weren't you the one who kept saying we aren't the same party?"

"Hm?"

Lefiya's retort left Filvis somewhat stunned.

"I previously thought it was you, this person, who was hard to get along with, but only now have I discovered that this was originally just the action you took to prevent us from encountering misfortune. You truly are a kind person!"

The White Shrine Maiden fell silent; the elven girl's words left her momentarily not knowing how to respond.

After a while, she said: "I am unworthy of the description 'kind'."

She spoke the truth.

"No, you are completely worthy of it."

Lefiya suddenly stepped forward, saying this to the female elf with absolute certainty.

"Ah, how did you approach on your own initiative?!"

Not expecting Lefiya to approach directly, Filvis exclaimed and subconsciously retreated backward.

It seemed she did not want to have close-range contact with the elven girl.

"Miss Filvis, let us adventure together from now on."

However, the elven girl paid no heed to her words, staring straight at her and proposing this.

"Hm?"

The White Shrine Maiden widened her eyes, looking at her.

"I want to break the curse on your body, and prove you absolutely are not some Banshee."

Lefiya continued seriously to the White Shrine Maiden before her.

"Are you crazy, not afraid of death? If we encounter danger, I will directly abandon you."

Filvis threatened.

"No, you won't. Miss Filvis, who from the start treated us with a cold attitude that kept people a thousand miles away in order to avoid the influence of the possible misfortune curse on your body, I believe you are definitely not a person who would abandon her companions."

"No, we only met yesterday, and today counts as our first formal contact. You, this strange, overly familiar guy, what do you understand about me?"

In terms of an elf, Lefiya's attitude toward the outside was really a bit too enthusiastic, having quite the posture of a social terrorist. This made Filvis, whose personality leaned more toward a normal elf, really have a bit of difficulty parrying the elven girl's social methods.

"Indeed, I only heard of you yesterday, and only made initial contact with you today. But Miss Filvis, your behavior today is enough to let me know what kind of person you are."

"Hah, that is merely your wishful thinking and misunderstanding. What kind of person I am, how could you possibly know?"

Filvis, whose safe social distance had been broken through by the elven girl, could no longer hold her previous cold-faced attitude. She was like a hissing Hakimi, her voice somewhat loud as she roared at the overly enthusiastic elven girl before her.

"I am a despicable wretch who personally killed her companions and fled alone to survive until now, a filthy existence!"

"You are not filthy at all. No matter what others say, Miss Filvis, you are a beautiful and gentle person, much stronger than me, simply my ideal type!"

However, regarding the White Shrine Maiden's self-defiling words, Lefiya only thought these were the bad rumors from the outside world about the Banshee, which had caused too much mental pressure on this fellow clan elf. She did not believe the other party's words were true, reached out, and grasped Filvis's hand.

Filvis, her hand held: "..."

Her indignant expression froze on her face. Looking at her own hand tightly grasped by the elven girl, her originally fair face reddened for some unknown reason.

"Why, even after I said all that, can you still say such things?"

Filvis could not understand. She had accidentally spoken the truth, yet the elven girl showed not the slightest sign of disliking her.

"Ah, I was just speaking my heart..."

Lefiya also reacted, realizing her 'ideal type' remark just now was somewhat ambiguous, and she likewise became a bit red-faced and embarrassed.

【Inner voice... She truly doesn't feel I am filthy?】

If Lefiya had a capture system, then right about now one could probably discover that the White Shrine Maiden before her had her capture progress surge up a large chunk.

"Lefiya, the accommodation on our side is settled. Quickly bring Miss Filvis over so she can also handle the lodging."

Just as the atmosphere between the two elves on this side was developing a bit toward a citrus-situation-good atmosphere, a Saiyan boy's head poked out from the inn, shouting directly toward this side.

"Okay, Mr. Broly, we're heading over now."

Lefiya replied a sentence to Broly, then pulled the White Shrine Maiden toward the inn.

"Miss Filvis, Mr. Broly in our party possesses a genuine luck ability. So, even if the misfortune curse on your body is real, partying with us absolutely won't cause any problems..."

Lefiya thought of something and spoke with sincere conviction. Under her tug, Filvis simply had no way to resist and obediently followed the girl back into the inn.

"Sorry, Miss White Shrine Maiden. Didn't expect such things happened to you. This morning it was me who misunderstood you."

After returning to the inn, Tiona walked over with an apologetic face to apologize. Rude coldness and justified coldness are completely two different matters.

Upon learning the story that happened to the White Shrine Maiden, this Amazon flat-chested girl now felt only deep sympathy for the other party.

The 27th Floor Labyrinth Nightmare Incident six years ago caused all of the other party's companions to die, and her subsequent partying also ended in total party wipe tragedy many times.

The things that happened to Filvis were originally a heartbreaking tragedy, yet she still had to be labeled with the terrible title of Banshee by the outside world.

Tiona only felt the White Shrine Maiden's encounter was simply too miserable. If she herself were in the other party's shoes, she probably would have no way to be like the other party, still able to step foot into the Dungeon.

"Miss Filvis, my strength is very strong. I won't die easily."

Ais walked over, using her own words to comfort the White Shrine Maiden.

"What Banshee or not, what cursed Adventurer or not. Hmph, those are nothing but the delusional words of weaklings. Those guys dying has only one reason: they weren't strong enough. Don't lump me in with those weaklings."

Werewolf Bert's words were a bit harsh, but this is this wolf's unique way of comforting.

"Don't worry. I should be the strongest in the party right now. I can guarantee everyone's safety."

Seeing everyone else had expressed their stance, Broly also seriously expressed his own attitude.

Although to him Filvis was just someone he met today, Lefiya seemed to care deeply about the other party.

Valuing the people valued by the person one values — in short, love the house and its crow. Broly did have this trait.

Seeing this group of people, one by one, come before her and say such things to her, Filvis's heart became somewhat complex.

To scheme against people who hold goodwill toward her — for the White Shrine Maiden of kind personality, this was also a very conflicted matter.

And this conflict produced in her heart was also sensed clearly by the evil personality Ye En, who was hanging far behind.

"The other me, truly so easily bound by some boring and false emotions, a pure weakling!"

Ye En cursed in displeasure, yet also knew the other personality's self had this kind of mindset, so this time she absolutely had no possibility of completing Lord Dionysus's orders.

"Forget it, this time let's just treat it as an action to clear suspicion, just don't know which freak on the 24th floor Labyrinth is so unlucky, to be used as our sacrificial lamb for clearing suspicion."

"Ah-choo~"

The white-haired ghost suddenly sneezed, but he himself didn't pay much attention to this sneeze, thinking it was caused by the pollen on the Man-Eating Flower.

"Hahaha, should have mass-produced troops like this long ago, with this many Man-Eating Flowers, who in Orario can win against me?"

Watching his controlled Flower King, utilizing the 24th floor Monster Food Store's massive resources, continuously producing Man-Eating Flowers, the white-haired ghost's confidence also exploded.

"At this rate, I will be able to stir up a darkness countless times more terrifying than the Great Faction War seven years ago, even if the Mighty One who can defeat Gluttony Charudo stands before me, I can still rely on the flower sea tactics to grind them into mincemeat!

Hahaha, Filthy Fairy Spirit-sama, just watch, just wait, I will clear all obstacles on the path to the surface world for you.

At that time, you will be able to freely gaze up at the blue sky, and enjoy the surface's sunlight!"

Towards the white-haired ghost, also a monster person, who was self-absorbedly falling into a self-satisfied mad mental state, Revis's eye corners twitched twice.

Unlike Olivas's exploding confidence, she instead had a premonition that things were going too smoothly, and something bad might happen afterwards.

"Revis, where are you going?"

Discovering the companion beside her walking toward the other side, the white-haired ghost turned back and subconsciously asked.

"I'm going to arrange a backup plan, in case the commotion you make is too big, and attracts enemies that are too powerful, having a retreat route means we won't be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"Hah, haven't even encountered obstacles yet, and already considering defeat?

Revis, should I say you're cautious, or should I mock you for being cowardly?

Hmm, should still be cowardly, hahaha......"

Towards Olivas's unrestrained mockery, Revis merely waved her hand without looking back.

As the Dungeon's most senior monster person, she naturally had her own code of conduct.

Other guys' opinions, Revis didn't care about in the slightest.

Next day, when the crystal above the 18th floor Labyrinth lit up with light like sunlight, the rested Investigation Team also continued to set out, led by the Omnipotent Asfi, quickly reaching the 24th floor Labyrinth 【Flower Pot】, and finding the Forest Road leading to the Food Storage in the dense forest, only the number of monsters accumulated on the Forest Road below was even greater, densely packed full of monsters.

"Before heading to the Food Storage, what we need to deal with first is that group of monsters below, I have enough Scent-Blocking Potions here, but Invisibility Cloaks, there are only......"

The Omnipotent Asfi's words hadn't finished, when Ais, carrying the Substitute Sword the Gulliver Brothers temporarily lent her, jumped down.

And following close behind, was Broly, only, he brought no weapons at all, completely going down shirtless.

"Ah, those two, what are they doing?"

Asfi became somewhat nervous, if this directly triggered a monster rampage it's no joke, if it turns into a cross-floor rampage, the problem would be even bigger.

"No need to worry, Miss Asfi, whether it's level or quantity, those monsters below compared to the 37th floor Labyrinth's Death Colosseum monsters, the difference is too great, there absolutely won't be any problem."

Lefiya hurriedly said.

"Hmph, just that little bit of monsters, doesn't need half an hour, they can be cleaned up completely by those two."

Bert said displeasedly, then stood at the cliff edge without jumping down.

Only because he knew, even if he joined the battle, he probably would also find it hard to snatch the chance to eliminate monsters from those two monster-grinding machines.

Fact was indeed so, Broly and Ais who jumped into the monster group, were like two meat grinders, frantically slaughtering the monsters around them.

Not even half an hour, all monsters on the entire Forest Road had completely disappeared, leaving only traces proving they once existed — Magic Stones, black ash, and some drop items.

"Truly terrifying swordsmanship, has Sword Princess reached Lv. 6?"

Asfi, following behind and watching Ais finish the battle, couldn't help but ask the elf girl beside her.

"Didn't level up, just abilities obtained growth."

Lefiya explained a sentence.

"But this growth magnitude is truly large enough."

Asfi said sincerely.

"Compared to Ais's growth magnitude, that guy's growth magnitude is what's truly called a monster."

Werewolf Bert looked at Broly, compared to the Saiyan boy he knew before, the strength the boy displayed today is what's truly called excessive.

Same killing monsters, Ais still uses a sword, but Broly directly tears them apart with bare hands no equipment, even if the monsters here can't compare to the 37th floor's, tearing them is still far too relaxed.

More importantly, Fierce Wolf still hasn't seen that strange energy condensed on the other's fingertips, seen before when the other was grinding monsters in the Death Colosseum, heard it's a special energy named Qi that can increase Attack Power and Defense Power.

The fact of the Saiyan boy growing stronger is simply clearly visible to the naked eye.

Truly a damn talent monster.

And even more excessive is, the other's monstrous talent, can actually be pasted and copied to others.

Only, limited to females.

【Why am I not a woman......】

The werewolf's mind even popped up this thought, and he soon felt shame and anger for this thought.

But still, this is also human nature.

Anyone seeing a companion originally about the same as themselves, suddenly having strength advance by leaps and bounds, would have some psychological imbalance, would produce the thought of also wanting to walk the other's shortcut.

Only, this shortcut isn't one just anyone can walk.

First, there's a premise requirement on gender, must be female.

Second, it also depends on the person.

"Lefiya, you actually also have quite large growth right?"

Tiona looked at the Sword Princess ahead, then turned back to look at the elf girl following behind, and asked.

"Ah, yes, there is a little growth."

Lefiya replied to the Amazon girl's words, somewhat embarrassed.

As one of the monster farming princesses of the previous Gold Farming Team, although Lefiya had the problem of Magic Limit and her monster farming speed was not like the Sword Princess, she was Lv. 3, so farming monsters in the Death Colosseum would have a portion of Experience Bonus, and the grown Status Values were not one bit less than the Sword Princess girl's; her current Lv. 3 Status Board was almost in a Near Max Status situation.

"How nice..."

Compared to the Werewolf's somewhat shameful and angry restrained reaction, the Flat Amazon girl did not conceal in the slightest her envy towards her Companion possessing Broly's Wing Temporary Skill.

Of Course, there was no Jealousy or hate; if her Companion was doing well, this somewhat single-minded Amazon girl would only feel happy for her Companion doing well, and Resentment would not Appear.
