"AH, WAIT! How the hell are you even here?"

"Me? Well, I was lucky enough to pass the Bridge to Heaven." Exhibiting a half-smile, Virus vaguely responded.

"Wuh? That's impossible! You're shitting me, right? Lucky enough to pass it? What the hell do you take the Bridge to Heaven for, hot face? If it was something you can sweep through with luck alone, every rando would be here right now!"

Not desiring to explain more specifically, Virus changed the subject, "Anyhow, how could I catch up to you guys? I obviously entered the Invisible Fortress much later than you and you two are only here? Just how slow are you two?"

"Ah, actually… that's because of our bad luck, the first gate we tried was the dead end, so we had to waste hours returning to the three gates of dead-end, dead, and end." Henna was the one to reply instead this time. However, inspecting her expression, Virus could detect some hints of dissatisfaction over her face.
