After the battle, Ais and Tsukasa took all their hauls and went to have lunch while watching the scenery on the Water World.
While the dungeon was a dangerous place, it was also a wonderful place where it could bring immense wealth to someone and also a beautiful place where its beauty could take everyone's breath.
The Water World on the 27th Floor was like that.
The unique glowing icicle-shaped formation hung on the ceiling like stars at midday. Clear and translucent water that could be seen everywhere reflected what was on the ceiling, making a mirage, and giving a scenery that one could never forget in life.
Tsukasa also must admit there was this mysterious beauty that one could never capture with beauty. The natural beauty of nature, without anything and in its original state, was probably the most beautiful thing.
Still, compared to the beauty of nature, Tsukasa was more interested in the beautiful girl next to him.
Ais, who sat next to him, didn't know why, but she felt quite giddy. However, she didn't hate this feeling.
The two talked to each other while having lunch and talked about everyday things with a laugh. It was a rare time when the two didn't fight or focus on getting stronger. Instead, they just enjoyed each other's companionship, staying together.
It was Ais's first time doing something like this, and even if she couldn't help but chuckle and showed a small curve of a smile on her mouth when she listened to his story. Her life had always been focused on getting stronger, so she could have her revenge. However, right now, she just wanted to stay with him.
Ais still remembered the words that Tsukasa had told her.
"The dead don't desire revenge, but the happiness of the living."
Even so, Ais still wanted to have her revenge and become stronger, but she also knew what it meant to be happy with someone. The feeling of love and wanting to be with someone. She just loved this feeling, and it reminded her of the time she was with her parents.
"Let's go back. I want to update my status," Tsukasa said since he wanted to become a Level 5 as soon as possible.
Still, when they were about to leave, Ais recalled how her mother was attacked by the One Eyed Black Dragon and how her father left to save her mother, leaving her alone. She looked at Tsukasa's back and wondered what she would do if he was gone.
Even if her mouth couldn't say anything, her body moved first and hugged Tsukasa from behind.
"Ais?" Tsukasa knew that there was something strange about Ais now, and she was worried about something.
"Tsukasa."
"Hmm?'
"Can you promise me something?"
"What?"
"Can..." Ais was quite embarrassed, but she said the words that she kept in her heart. "Don't disappear from me, alright?" She wanted to say, "Can you stay with me forever?" but she couldn't say it since she was too embarrassed and changed what she wanted to say. After all, as long as he was by her side, she was satisfied.

Tsukasa turned his head and looked at Ais, who buried her face in his back. She might be a descendant of a fairy, a "Sword Princess," or any others, which magnified her presence, so others could only look up at her, but the truth, she wasn't that much different from any other girl. She was lonely, frustrated, crying, and encountered many similar problems among her peers.
"I won't. I won't vanish from you and stay with you, alright?"
Hearing this answer, Ais still hugged his waist and rubbed her face against his back. "Um." Still, if Tsukasa could see her face at this moment, he would be surprised since she showed the most beautiful smile that she had ever shown at this moment.
After talking for a while, they decided to return to the surface. After all, Ais knew Tsukasa was about to become a Level 5. She would be lying if she wasn't excited and wanted to see him become a Level 5 adventurer as soon as possible.
It was just a month with a few weeks of Tsukasa arriving in this world, but his haul was huge. He learned many things and also learned a lot of new things. He believed he wouldn't lose even if he fought Stella Vermilion in a direct confrontation now.
His swordsmanship was one thing, but more importantly, the rise of his magic was the most important thing. After all, without magic, it would be impossible to do many things. Even if it was possible, he could only use it for a limited time, and it would cause him harm.
Fortunately, Tsukasa had a regenerative healing factor, or else he wasn't sure where to cry if his body had a hidden injury.
With their speed, it didn't take long before they arrived on the 18th Floor. They didn't stop and just kept running and sometimes walking, ignoring all the adventurers along their paths. However, if there were adventures that needed help, they decided to help by killing the monsters before leaving without saying anything.
It wasn't that Tsukasa was a hero or something, but since he could help, then why not?
Doing this also made the reputation of the Loki Familia better.
Tsukasa also didn't need to pay, and he only needed to raise his hands slightly, so at this moment, when they arrived on the 10th Floor, they happened to see someone who was surrounded by monsters.
This place might be surrounded by mist, but Tsukasa could see the familiar white-haired boy that he had seen two times in the past.
"Lili! Lili! Where are you?!"
10th Floor was extremely dangerous for the Level 1 adventurer, so Tsukasa wondered why this boy could appear there?
Usually, Tsukasa would forget about an important person, but somehow he felt this boy was quite similar to Ikki Kurogane and Kokonoe Tooru even though he knew they were different.
"Are you going to help?" Ais asked.
"Yeah." Tsukasa held his Drying Pole and dashed forward, killing all the Orcs that surrounded the boy.
The boy was dumbfounded when all the Orcs were killed, but he knew someone had saved him. He saw an opening, and he didn't hesitate to run away. "I am in a hurry!" Leaving such words, he quickly left without even looking at Tsukasa. After all, he had something to do, and he couldn't just stand here.
Tsukasa looked at the boy, who left without even saying thank you. He only shook his head and decimated all the Orcs in the surroundings before seeing the green-colored arm protector drop on the ground. He knew this should be that boy's arm protector, but it might be his imagination that the green color of the arm protector was strangely so blinding at this moment.
Tsukasa took the arm protector and thought a green color definitely suited for that boy.
