While Cirrus is in the dungeon, many of the people up above are busy with their daily activities.

In the Hostess of Fertility, Lili was working.

“So how’s being a waitress kid?” said Mia.

“T-tough! I didn’t know one it was this much walking!” Lili said.

“Well, good thing you’re more agile than that one over there.” She said, pointing at Anya.

“She is getting better.”

“Yeah…” Mia said, making a slight smile. “So how long are those two going to be gone for?”

“Umm… they said for a few days. Do you think everything is alright?” she asked worriedly.

“I’m sure they're fine. Sora is a lot tougher than one would think.”

“Really? Even if he doesn’t have a status?”

“I’m sure he can give a level 1 like you a good run for her money! Now we have customers!”

“Right!” she said, getting back to work.

At that moment on the dungeon’s 38th floor.

Cirrus is slashing his way through the horde of Spartoi.

“Hm?”

‘What’s wrong?’ asked Circe.

“… I felt like people are- slash!!

‘Enough thinking and more action! We still have a lot to map out!’ Nox said.

Cirrus and Circe turned to see a tunnel full of Spartoi.

Haaa… RAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Cirrus charged headfirst into battle.

 

Back on the surface, out on patrol.

“Nothing again.” Said Lyra.

“Hmm… it's boring without Night Sky around to draw in criminals.” Ai said, looking bored into the distance.

“… Say, did you find what you were looking for?”

“Hm? what do you mean?”

Ai turned to her in puzzlement.

“Well, you were gone for a while. Lady Astraea said you left leaving a note behind so… did you find what you were looking for outside of Orario?”

“Uhh….” Her face blushed.

“Heh~,” Lyra got closer. “Tell me what happened! Did you meet a guy?”

Ai turned her head.

“Did you go in for the kill?” she said with a smug grin.

“I-I’m going to meet up with Ryuu-san!” she said, quickly walking away.

“Come on!” Lyra said, chasing after her. “At least tell me it worked! I was planning on using it to get Finn!!”

 

Currently, the Loki Familia are on the dungeon’s 12th floor.

WHOOSH!! WHOOSH!! WHOOSH!!

Huff! Huff! Huff!

Breathing heavily as a young golden hair adventure with a fortress of wind surrounding her as a Black Wyvern slowly turns to ash.

WHOOSH!! WHOOSH!! WHOOSH!!

“Ais! It’s alright!” shouted Riveria.

WHOOSH!! WHOOSH!! WHOOSH!!

“Gareth! try to get to her! These winds are strong!” Finn shouted.

WHOOSH!! WHOOSH!! WHOOSH!!

“Grr!! Grr!!!”

Making his way through the wind, Gareth reached Ais and held her.

WHOOSH!! WHOOSH!! WHOOSH!!

“It's fine, Ais, you're safe… your safe.”

Gareth continued to comfort her until she had a mind down.

“Riveria, can you take care of her?” asked Finn.

“Hm, are we going to call it for today? We found some members of the Thanatos Familia. Are you sure we — “

“I am sure I rather not risk the lives of our new members.” Finn walks and helps a 13-year-old boy.

“T-thank you, captain!” he said.

“Come, lad! We need to get moving!” Gareth said, slapping the back of the boy.

“M-my name is Raul!”

 

At the Freya Familia’s home.

“Hmm…” Freya said as she crumbles some paper.

“What is the problem, Lady Freya?” Ottar said as he comes into the room.

“I wanted to ask you, is there a job that will help one know people?”

“… If this is about money, I can go into — “

“Oh no, my dear Ottar, I was just thinking about his words from that night.”

“I… see… I heard Mia opened a pub with Allen’s little sister.”

“Ah! A waitress! Hmm….” She began to write. “How do you feel about… a Town Girl?”

“A Town… Girl?” he said, squinting his eyes.

“Yes… bring Horn in, it seems I can make due on our deal." She said with a smirk on her face.

 

Somewhere in Orario.

“Dammit! Those damn dogs of Astraea!!” shouted Alecto. “They have been riding us hard since we killed their damn prince!”

“Well, what did you expect?” Said Apate. “How would you feel if one day Turn is killed?”

“… Grrr…. so what then!? They and the dam Susanoo Familia grew far stronger than what we expected, especially that Saint. She alone has proved more of a threat than the Prince!”

“Well, your Familia has been pretty brave in your activities; I heard you're even starting to break your way into Kakia’s old business!”

“Tried is more accurate. Ishtar has been relentless! Since she absorbed a majority of the Familia’s who tried to fight her into her own Familia, so now, it’s like a fortress of 3rd and 2nd class prostitutes that litter the streets like snow!”

“Well… seeing as your Familia is stronger and has more members… why not destroy her with a Wargames? I’m sure when you win, it’ll cause the city to fall deeper into chaos!”

“Yes…” a big smirk appeared on her face. “I’ll crush that Familia of Justice!!”

“Do you want me to help set up the best moment to — “

“No need. I’ll bide my time. For now, my children are going to have to build up their strength!”

“I can’t wait to see!” Apate said with a big smile on her face.

“By the way, where is Erebus?”

“Him? Who knows, last I heard, he said he was going to find some 'muscle' for his grand plan.”

“Heh… he’s an odd one, is he not?”

 

Outside of Orario in the North.

“Rooooo~~”

The Wendigo falls dead on the ground as Zald and Alfia dust off their clothes.

“What amazing work!” Erebus said, walking in, clapping.

“You sure this was a monster from the age of gods?” asked Zald as he takes a bite of it.

“Most positive!” he said playfully. “So with this monster done, shall we get ready for… The Trails.” His face grew serious as well as his tone.

“It’s a shame we couldn’t fight that kid.” Said Zald with monster meat in his mouth.

“Ah, the one that fought that mountain-sized monster? I think his name was Zephyr?” said Alfia. “I wanted to see how strong he was… and what kind of noise he made.”

“Then we have to settle for the currently living 'Hero' of Orario.” Said Zald as he picks up his great sword. “I’m sure that Ottar is pretty strong now after 7 years.”

“True, and Riveria as well. I like to see how strong as a mage she has grown.”

 

Back to Cirrus, Nox, and Circe.

While Cirrus is fighting, Nox and Circe hang back.

‘Hm?’ Nox turned her head. ‘Circe… did you feel that?’

‘Yes… I felt it for a second, but I’m sure of it.’

‘… Let's keep an eye out for it again. Another spirit made themselves known.’

They turn to see Cirrus wearing his Cerberus armor.

"Raaaah!!! Come on!!! More!! More!!! Put up more of a fucking fight!! Where are the elite, you Lizardman!! Come here!!! Raaaah!!!" Cirrus was indulging himself a bit too much.

'Confirmed, the armor makes him a bit more bloodthirsty,' said Nox.

'Yeah "little" is an understatement,' said Circe, making a mental note of it.

 

Down in the depths of the Dungeon, an ancient being felt a breeze.

'…….……. Aria~' it thought for a brief second before its consciousness returned to slumber.
