"...The Seventh Floor....?" Eina growled.
"Y-yes. I want to start to be able to explore that floor..." Bell nervously chuckled.
Muramasa noticed that Eina's glasses suddenly reflected in a way where he wasn't able to quite see her eyes. That was when he knew to back up a bit and plug both of his ears with his fingers.
"Why don't you listen to me?! Seventh Floor?! There should be a limit to your carelessness!" Eina shouted in frustration. As she did, she repeatedly banged on her desk in anger.
"I-I-I-I'm sorry!" Bell whimpered.
"Tell me again. Who was it that was nearly killed by a Minotaur not too long ago?" Eina questioned.
"Um, me?" Bell answered.
"Then why do you keep on insisting on delving deeper into the dungeon?!" Eina yelled again. "Haven't you learned anything from getting caught in so many dangerous situations?!"
"I-I'm sorry..." Bell whispered as he seemed to be physically crushed by the lecture Eina was giving him. It was like watching a strict mother lecturing her kid rather than a guild advisor suggesting things to him.
"You don't have any sense of danger! Absolutely none! Today is the day I set you straight!" Eina finished.
"Yeesh. You should have some trust in that brat," Muramasa said. "He's grown a lot stronger since I saved him from that monster."
"Muramasa is right! Some of my statuses have reached the 'E' rank!" Bell added.
"E...?" Eina gasped. She glanced over to Muramasa, who simply nodded in response. Still, for a novice adventurer who only spent a few weeks in the dungeon to improve this much a short amount of time. "Y-you can say whatever you want, but..."
"It's real! I've been growing real fast for some reason!" Bell excitedly exclaimed.
"Hm..." Eina muttered as she stared at Bell's smiling face.
"...Does he really look like he can tell a lie?" Muramasa questioned. "I mean, just look at his eyes for crying out loud."
Eina stared at Bell's sparkling eyes before sighing in defeat. "Well, you do have a point. But the two of you should take it easy considering you're both Level 1."
"Don't worry. I'll be sure to drag this brat's ass back by force if he bites off more than he can chew." Muramasa chuckled.
"By the way, are you free tomorrow, Bell?" Eina suddenly asked.
Bell and Muramasa looked at each other for a moment.
"I don't have anything planned at the moment." Bell answered.
"Perfect. Meet me at the fountain at the town square around noon." Eina said.
"Huh? What for?" Bell asked.
"I'll let you know tomorrow." Eina said with a wink. "Well, I don't want to keep you two waiting forever. Remember that adventurers-"
"Shouldn't get too adventurous," Bell finished. "Then, we'll be off now!"
With that, both Bell and Muramasa exited the Guild and began to head off towards the dungeon. But as they got further and further away, Eina couldn't help but stare at the newest member of the Hestia Familia.
"Is he really just a Level 1?" Eina murmured to herself. Her mind couldn't help but wander off towards the events of Monsterphilia the day before, and her conversation with the Loki Familia after she had found that lost Chienthrope child's parents.
1 Day Ago
"Ah, where's Muramasa?" Eina asked as she ran back towards the Loki Familia.
