The failure was unexpected for everyone, but it wasn’t because Finn and everyone were defeated or one of the members of the group was killed. Instead, it was just that they met similar caterpillars on the 51st Floor, and their weapons were ruined because of it.
Their body might be powerful, but it didn’t mean they could continue without a weapon.
It was lucky that Tsukasa and Riveria could save up the ration, food, tents, and many things from the caterpillars before.
However, many had lost their weapons, especially Tiona.
Urga, Tiona’s weapon, which was made from the highest quality of adamantine and cost 120 million valis, melted!
All the way, Tiona could only cry helplessly since she had lost her weapon.
“Urga…”
Tiona couldn’t stop her tears since 120 million valis had gone!
Tione wasn’t in a good mood since the expedition failed, and Tiona’s cry made her even more annoyed. “Here.” She gave one of her kukri knives to Tiona, so Tiona wouldn’t be weaponless.
Still, how could Tiona be satisfied with something so small?
Her Urga was huge, and Tione’s kukri knives were too small for her liking!
Also, Tiona lost a lot of money!
Tiona kept crying and ignored Tione.
Veins appeared on Tione’s forehead, and she was furious at this moment. “Tsukasa, take care of Tiona!” She grabbed her little sister and pushed her to Tsukasa.
Tsukasa felt Tiona’s slender body pressed against his.
“Hehehe…” Tiona laughed lewdly.
“…” Tsukasa was speechless and glanced at Riveria.
However, Riveria only glanced at him and looked away.
“….” Tsukasa let out a helpless sigh and didn’t say much. As for buying Tiona’s weapon, while he had money, it was another thing to buy her a weapon. After all, 120 million valis wasn’t cheap.
‘Hmm…’
Tsukasa thought for a moment and wondered whether he should make a weapon for Tiona. Part of it was because he owed a lot of things to her, and this girl even dared to give all of her money to pay for his debt in the past. She even went on a hunt for monsters for several days to pay his debt too.
It wasn’t until he got money from Ishtar Familia that Tiona stopped hunting and also felt happy he had obtained the money without asking anything from him.
Even if Tiona wasn’t his type, Tsukasa must admit this girl’s feeling moved him slightly.
However, Tsukasa hoped this girl wasn’t so close to him, especially in the place where Riveria could see them.
Still, the fact the expedition failed didn’t change, and they all decided to return to the above.
While it took a while for them to reach the 50th Floor, it only took a short moment for them to reach the 25th Floor, especially under Tsukasa’s guidance.
His sense of smell and his ability made it easier for him to search for the best path and route, so they could reach their destination as soon as possible.
Everyone was happy about it since the faster they returned, the better it was since they could go home.
A soft bed, a nice bath, and warm food.
They wanted to taste all of them, and it was the reason why they wanted to return as soon as possible.
Still, as expected, Tsukasa was popular as ever since around him, girls had always been gathered.
However, while Riveria didn’t say anything, her expression wasn’t good.
Even Ais, who had been with Riveria for a while, also backed down since she was scared if Riveria got angry.
As for Gareth and Finn, they smartly shut their mouths since they could see Riveria wasn’t in a good mood. However, it was normal since they also weren’t in a good mood, considering how they had failed their expedition.
“Alright, let’s part into two groups,” Finn ordered.
Tsukasa didn’t say much since it didn’t really matter whether he was in the 2nd group or the 1st group.
“Finn, I’ll take over the 1st team, so can you let Tsukasa 1st team too?” Riveria asked. “I want to go back.”
Finn was stunned, but he just nodded. “Okay.” He thought Riveria was quite uncomfortable or something, so it was better for her to go back faster, and with Tsukasa’s guidance, their speed to return would become even faster, so he agreed.
Tsukasa didn’t say much, but Tiona quickly raised her hand, and the other girls were the same.
However, Finn quickly scolded them, and in the end, all the executives with Level 5 would be on the 1st team.
On the other hand, the 2nd team would be taken care of by Finn and Gareth.
This made Alicia, Lefiya, and Line somewhat sigh, but they didn’t say anything since they couldn’t do anything.
However, Lefiya realized something and quickly shook her head furiously with a blush on her face.
On the other hand, Line looked at Bete’s back for a moment before she looked at Tsukasa, who was talking with Riveria.
After the decision was made, the 1st team decided to leave first while the 2nd team decided to rest on the 18th Floor, Riveria first.
While they walked, Tiona couldn’t help but ask, “Tsukasa, how much excelia do you think you’ll get?”
Hearing her question, everyone looked at Tsukasa together.
Even Bete also looked at Tsukasa, and inwardly, he felt uncomfortable, but he knew this bastard would become a Level 5 soon, and it made him be in a hurry since he didn’t want to lose to this bastard!
“How much?” Tsukasa thought for a moment and said, “Probably 3,000?”
“…What?”
Whether it was Tiona, Bete, or even the rest were dumbfounded. They thought Tsukasa was joking.
However, it was a normal reaction since they knew how hard it was to collect an excelia. After all, not everyone could be like Tsukasa, who could become a Level 4 adventurer in just less than a month.
Tsukasa realized it had been a month since he had stayed in this world, and somehow he knew he could go back to his original world. He was excited to meet his girlfriends in his original world. Still, he also wondered whether he still had a chance to enter the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.
After all, he had left for so long.
Tsukasa knew, according to his ability, that no matter how long he was in another world, it was only a week for him in his original world.
With the growth of his magic, Tsukasa could make the time become faster or earlier, so no matter how long he was in another world, it was only a day or even a moment in his original world.
However, it was still impossible now since even if his magic increased, it didn’t reach such an exaggerated manner.
His magic wasn’t infinite after all.
While talking to each other, they reached the 15th Floor, and suddenly the wall around them trembled.
Then suddenly a group of minotaurs with a total of 30 appeared!
“In front, there’s a large number of minotaurs! Be prepared!” Riveria reminded everyone and told Raul to prepare for the lower-class members to fight, so they could accumulate their execelias.
Raul nodded without hesitation and wanted to prepare for the lower class to attack the minotaurs together.
However, whether it was Bete, Tiona, or Tione wanted to let out their frustrations on the group of minotaurs.
Tsukasa frowned and asked, “Is this alright?”
“What do you mean?” Riveria asked with some confusion since there was no way for Bete, Tiona, and Tione to lose, right?
“No, I don’t mean they’re going to lose, but the minotaurs are going…”
His reminder was too late since when he was about to tell Riveria, Bete, Tiona, and Tione started to kill the minotaurs without mercy, and all the minotaurs that still lived, without hesitation, ran away!
“……..” Everyone.
‘The monsters are running away?’
Everyone could only be dumbfounded watching this scene.
