After Eina and Vahn took their seats, it was officially time for the celebration to begin so Hestia raised up a glass mug full of alcohol called [Honey Stout] as she proclaimed in a loud voice, “Everyone, you did a great job on the expedition this time around. Not only did you increase the reputation of the Hesta Familia, but …

During the time Vahn had spent planting trees, the other girls had slowly dispersed to tend to their own business and to enjoy some relaxation, as the Dungeon atmosphere was somewhat tense. Many of them wanted to check up on the matters of the network while others simply wanted to explore the new Manor, something which Vahn also had an …

Toward the end of the conversation, and having everyone’s statuses updated, Hestia had asked in a ‘hopeful’ tone, “So, what will you be doing from now on?” Vahn knew she had been somewhat lonely, and even more worried, about him as he had been away for nearly an entire month. In response to her words, Vahn showed a soft smile …

The smile on Vahn’s face had frozen up a bit but he eventually managed to thaw out and say, “No, it’s fine, you don’t have to worry about it. However, I may…ask for your assistance in the future?” Vahn knew Terra would eventually have to relieve her body of the relatively valuable fluid and he was wondering how the organ …

After about ten minutes of patiently waiting, during what everyone simply sat around and enjoyed the warm atmosphere, the emerald-green amber began to glow slightly before a crack emerged. Though it had appeared to be one solid object, after the crack appeared, an aromatic fluid began draining from the sphere that began to rapidly dissolve the outer ‘shell’. Vahn was …

After a four hour climb up nearly 2km of stairs, the expedition finally reached the surface and Vahn got to experience what it was like to move a massive haul of materials via escort through crowded streets. Since it was early in the morning, there were numerous people entering the Dungeon and they all cleared the path and applauded the …

During the day of ‘rest’ that had been assigned by Finn, the expedition prepared all of the supplies onto the convoy for the coming journey. Since things were already consolidated into one area, it hadn’t taken them much time at all so they spent the rest of the day talking about what they would do once they reached the surface. …

While they were recuperating their stamina, Vahn explained the details of what he had seen on the 58th Floor and confirmed the account of the Zeus and Hera Familias. He also talked about the practicality of moving between the floors using the ‘tunnels’ formed by the Valgang Dragon’s like a shortcut in the future, something that caused a fair amount …

For an additional two days, the group continued to explore the 54th Floor until they had mapped a large majority of the Floor. Other than a few variant monsters, which were simply stronger versions of present enemies, there were no major discoveries made. Though Vahn could see through large sections of the Dungeon, his vision was still limited to the …

Using the map that Vahn had drawn out during their previous exploration, as he could quickly scribe it onto a piece of paper with a high degree of accuracy, the group continued their exploration of the 54th Floor by searching areas and corridors they hadn’t visited previously. With Vahn’s map, it was easy to see the paths they had taken …
