"So, why are you here, Alicia?" Axel asked as they sat in the inn's dining room.
Alicia, who was sitting in front of Axel, looked at him while holding a teacup.
"I was sent by the adventurer association to ensure the rebuilding of this town goes smoothly," Alicia answered calmly before drinking her tea.
Every movement he made looked extremely graceful, as if he had been used to that grace his entire life.
Axel nodded, understanding. "I didn't expect we would meet here. Thank you for helping."
Alicia smiled faintly. "Of course, Axel. How about you? What brought you here?"
Axel sighed, feeling a little more relaxed in Alicia's presence. "I just want to challenge my limits. And it turns out, I met Elara on the way."
Elara, sitting next to Axel, nodded in agreement. "We were both trying to reach the 30th floor, but we had to turn back because I was exhausted."
