Sona, Aika, and Koneko left for the Guild after Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Kuroka's lectures. Kuroka also wanted to come with them, but she knew that despite their supposed similar physical abilities, her experience is much above them and she couldn't help them improve on the upper floors.

They met Sophie, their advisor, on the counter and the first thing she asked, "Where are the rest?"

"They're busy with something so it'll only be the three of us today," Sona explained.

"Haahh..." With a sigh, Sophie continued, "How did you do yesterday? I heard that there is some incident on the upper floors yesterday about monsters disappearing."

"We could only find a few Goblins yesterday even after going down to the 4th floor." Sona lied without hesitation.

"Well, it's good that you didn't encounter something dangerous. Although the upper floors returned to normal, there are still strong adventurers from Ganesha Familia patrolling the area so if you encounter something out of place, you should immediately look for them.

"And by the way, although you're already on the verge of leveling up, I suggest that you girls don't go beyond the 7th floor. What you need is to experience what the Dungeon has to offer as it's very different from monsters outside since they can spawn en masse that can suddenly catch you off guard that may result in your lives taken away." While reminding them, Sophie also pulls out some documents about the 5th to 7th floors, "Also, read this carefully before you dive in."

Sona received the documents with a grateful expression, "Thank you very much."

"And lastly, before you go, invest some of your money to some potions as it could be your life-saving item."

"Understood. We'll be going, Sophie-san~." Sona then bid farewell with Aika and Koneko.

"Go. I'm still busy." Shooing them away, Sophie returned to her work and proceeded to ignore them.

The trio only smiled at her contrasting attitude and exited the Guild building, "She's a good girl..." Koneko muttered and the two nodded in agreement.

"Is it fine to show an attitude like that?" From behind Sophie, a voice of a girl resounded and she turned around, "Eina."

A beautiful Half-Elf with a slim body, pointy ears, shoulder-length brown hair, and emerald-colored eyes appeared behind Sophie, "You don't have to worry about how I treat the Adventurers assigned to me... What about you? You accepted that white-haired rookie that nobody wants due to how he acts yesterday."

"Those guys won't stop betting on how long he could survive... Isn't it the same for you?" Eina replied with a frown.

"Now you understand why I show that kind of attitude... Those who came from outside with prior experience from getting Falna tend to become arrogant because they're strong from where they came from. They're the type that would suddenly lose their mind if things become a bit dangerous... So I doubt they'll last..."

Eina could only smile wryly after hearing her coworker's words, "That's pretty harsh... Still, you don't slack from giving them the advice they need."

Sophie stopped her actions of sorting the documents for a moment before replying, "...Maybe I'm hoping that they'll at least survive long enough that they could make a name for themselves... After all, it's really tiring to see people you're just talking to, suddenly dying..."

Following Sophie's advice, the trio went to a potion seller that Hestia recommended and also helped her when she's having a hard time after being kicked out by Hephaestus, Miach, the God of Medicinal Familia, Miach Familia.

The home of Miach Familia, the Blue Pharmacy is located in the same district as the abandoned church where they're staying and they arrived there after a quarter of an hour of walking from the Guild building. They were greeted by a Chienthrope with long brown hair, purple eyes, dog ears, and a tail, "Welcome. What do you need?" She greeted with a flat tone.

"Good morning. We're in need of potions and Hestia-sama recommended this place." Sona replied.

The Chienthrope was a bit surprised but she immediately recovered, "So you guys are her children... I didn't expect that she telling the truth..."

Sona could only smile wryly. Although she's being rude, she can't feel any annoyance from her tone, so Hestia might be actually really close friends with the Miach Familia if they can joke around like that, "I'm Sona Sitri, and the two behind me is Aika Kiryuu and Shirone Toujou. Nice to meet you.", " "Nice to meet you." "

"Naaza Erisuis, nice to meet you too. Do you need potions? You can choose from this." Going straight to the business, Naaza pulled out potions with different potencies.

"Then we'll take five of these." Sona pointed to the most expensive one.

"That would be 3,000 Valis in total."

No haggling, Sona immediately passed her what she asked for.

"Thank you very much." Naaza packed the five potions. She's truly grateful for them as it's rare for a Familia of their size to sell two or more potions as most of their customers are also from poor Familias.

"You're welcome~. Since Hestia-sama is in debt to you, it's only normal for us to return the favor."

Naaza finally smiled for the first time, "Even then... Thank you."

"We're going~. We'll see you next time."

"Alright. I'll be expecting you. Be careful." Naaza then remembered something, "Oh right... I would like to ask a favor."

"Hmm?"

"If you ever encounter a young Adventurer with white hair and red eyes and he's in danger, please assist him if possible. He's a rare new member for us. I'll give you potions for a good price if you can assist him."

"No problem. However, we'll only do that if there's no danger in doing so..."

"Of course. That's understandable. You should prioritize your life more than others." Naaza nodded in understanding.

Arriving in the Dungeon, Sona, Aika, and Koneko immediately went to the fourth floor and started their hunt.

Since Sona doesn't need a staff when casting magic, she's using a short bow which is created by Kisuke. It's only a normal short bow that is more polished compared to the cheap options in the market and is enough to reach monsters from 50 meters or so. While she has a short bow, Sona also has a small dagger strapped to her side that she intended to use after studying the movements of the monsters.

Aika, on the other hand, chooses to wield two short swords to practice her style in Zanjutsu while Koneko chooses metal knuckles.

For today, they intended to gather excelia while also practicing their own techniques. Magic for Sona and Flash Step for both Aika and Koneko.

Flash Step is very hard to use with the Falna's provided Mana, but if they can use it, they would have more means of escape and more maneuverability in battle which they decided to be the top priority rather than stronger attacks. After all, strong attacks can be achieved if you have strong weapons.
