Chapter 8: Quest 6- Party

A few weeks go by, and Cirrus was making good progress, his gear were far better than when he started out, Eupheme worked hard to make them putting her sweat and blood in them even asking Cirrus on his thoughts.

“So Cirrus, Clang!! How far have you made it? Clang!!”

“Uhh about the 9^th floor, I’m almost done fully exploring it.”

“Hmm…Clang!! you told me there is no one else in your Familia, right? Clang!!”

“Yeah, so far I’ve been able to get by, by being extremely careful and smart in how I fight.”

“Yet you are still a level 1.”

“….That is right, I have been an adventure for a while now.”

“A while? Your 7 years old what age did you start?”

“Far younger than one would think.”

Cirrus lied as naturally as he breathed.

“How cruel…why don’t you tell me your god’s name so I can ask Hephaestus-sama to give them a good thrashing.”

“Haha…” Cirrus chuckled at her words. “So uh why are you asking now?” Cirrus said changing the subject.

“Well I was thinking ill come with you? I am a level 2 after all.” She said in a proud monotone tone of voice.

“Level 2…don’t you have a title?”

“I do, Clang!!, its Karaoke!!” she said with a visible smug grin on her face as she makes a pose.

“…Ah cool!”

‘Wtf the fuck is that name!!! Isn’t that Japanese for Empty Orchestra? Is that praise or an insult??’

“One day you will have a title as amazing as mines, Clang!”

“Well…I guess so? I mean what weapon do you use?”

“Wait a second. Clang!!” She quickly worked a bit faster hammering at the weapon before putting it in to cool off, she got up and walked to the wall of weapons and picked up the spear. “This is my weapon of choice.”

“Ooh! You use the spear!”

“You sound excited? Did you want to learn how to use a spear?”

“I did but I went with the sword since it was an easier weapon for me to use.”

“Hm, I see…then I shall teach you how to use the spear down in the dungeon.” She said with a slight smile.

“Then were do you wanna meet up tomorrow?”

“Meet me back here I still have my quota to make.”

“Quota?”

“Yes, Lady Hephaestus makes all of her smith make stuff and sell them at Babel.”

“Was that why this short sword you made so cheap?”

“Mostly yes, I made it with cheap material and didn’t give much thought on the price, still I wish you at least make you a better weapon.”

“I bought it it’s mine, besides, it’ll be a waste to not use a weapon to its fullest.”

“Hmph…” She looked a bit peeved.

           

Cirrus leaves the shop and returns home. The next day he returns to the shop.

“Knock, knock. Eupheme I’m here!” Cirrus says entering the shop.

“Ill be down in a second.” She said.

Cirrus waited downstairs checking his gear once more, his mix of leather and metal armor pieces in good conditions.

“Huh…a shield? Maybe I should invest in learning how to use it?”

He picks it up but finds it uncomfortable to use and more restrictive, he puts it back on the wall.

‘Guess no shield.’

After a bit Eupheme came down in light armor and a headpiece holding her now clean hair and a 4-edged pointed spear.

“Now shall we proceed.” She said as she gets a large supporters bag.

 

Down in the dungeon, they went down to the 9^th floor and finished exploring it before heading down to the 10^th.

The 10^th floor is similar in structure to the previous 2 floors except its filled with mist making it hard to see, Eupheme helped Cirrus traverse the floor greatly.

“Hm so have you gotten use to traversing this floor?” Eupheme asked.

“A bit, this spear is pretty good maybe I should carry one with me.”

“Hm I can make you one, of course I will be taking some of these as down payments.” She said picking up the magic stones she got from killing monsters.

“I now…but this floor…doesn’t seem a bit creepy?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean you can get away pretty easy?”

“That is true…we should leave for today; shall we explore more tomorrow?”

“Yeah!”

As they were leaving back to the surface, they met the Loki Familia coming down from the 9^th floor.

“Oh its you again Cirrus.” Riveria said.

“Ah Riveria right? You haven’t came by recently.” Cirrus said.

“I have been busy.” She said.

“You know her Cirrus?” Eupheme asked.

“Hm, she’s a customer of my aunt’s magic store.”

“Oh…well I am Eupheme Leukos a blacksmith of the Hephaestus Familia and this one’s guide.”

“Oh one of Goddess Hephaestus blacksmith huh?” said a blonde pallum who is slightly taller than Cirrus.

“You are Finn Deimne the captain.” Eupheme said surprised.

“I am, sorry but can you tell us if you saw or felt something was off?”

“Well Cirrus here felt that this floor was creepy.”

Finn looked at Cirrus.

“Yup, this mist doesn’t sit well with me, a lot of stuff can happen in it, and we won’t be able to see it.”

“I see…well we should be going, everyone lets go.” His Familia began to move on. “It was nice to meet you two.” He then left with his Familia.

“Ill be sure to come by again to Lenoa’s shop.” Riveria said walking with them.

“Great work getting this far kid!” Said a dwarf giving Cirrus a slap on his back.

As they all left Cirrus and Eupheme continued to the surface.

“…You don’t think Evilus was on or below the floor we were on, right?” Cirrus asked Eupheme.

“I do not know but it is fortunate for us we did not meet them.”

They returned to the surface, and they turned in their magic stones and drops except for Eupheme and returned to their own separate homes.
