'Sabito!'
"Breath of Wind Second Form: Claws-Purifying Wind!"
As Sabito swung his katana four blade of wind raced towards the large group of Kobolds.
'Huu... thats done.' Sabito said as she sheath his katana.
'Did you get hurt?' Joohee asked as she went closer to Sabito.
'Oh im fine big sis Joohee.' Sabito said as he casually waved at her.
'since last time we went to floor 4, why dont we go to floor 8 this time.' Makomo suggested as she help Lili collect the magic stones.
'Lili thinks we should go there with your strength monster on floor 5 to 7 will be easy to defeat for you.' Lili said agreeing to Makomo's suggestion.
'Alright lets do that. Also Makomo you go infront this time.'
'...Why?'
'You need to train your enduramce stat Goddess said so.' Bell said sternly
'oki...'
'I'll protect big sis Joohee then.' Sabito said as he stood behind Joohee.
'Now lets go to the floor 8!!'
'So you dont usually do anything?' Suguru asked Hestia as he played with his small puppy.
'Well i dont have a job to do so i just sleep or sit around the house.'
'Or train myself so that i can teach the kids better.'
'So you do train them.'
'Of course i do they need it. Since theyre going down the dungeon. Also you need you relax.' Hestia said noticing Suguru's wary demeanor
'Sorry.' Suguru said as he relaxes and his slumps abit.
'Man you really are wary.'
'Sorry Goddess its just that i so used to it.'
'I mean fighting for your life 3 to 4 times a day will make you not drop your guard every moment. But please do relax sometimes, people need to rest every now and then. And also youll be going with Bell and the others tomorrow.'
'I'll get ready for it.' He said as he lays down the couch and closes his eyes.
"Ill train myself then." Hestia thought as she grabbed the wooden sword and went to the backyard/training ground.
'Dont let it escape!!' Lili yelled as she told Makomo to kill the War ant.
"Breath of Water Second form: Water Wheel!!!" Makomo then leaps forward into the air and performs a front flip, releasing a singular vertical water slash in a circular motion.
'Smash its head fast!!'
"Breath of Water Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin Destruction!!" Makomo then Slashed downward splitting the Ant's Head.
'Phew.. That was tough.' Makomo said as she wipes the sweat off her forehead.
'Good thing we have Lili.' Bell said as he cleaned the ant's blood from his knives.'
'Big Sis can you heal me?' Sabito said as he showed her the bite on his leg.
'Yes!' Just as she was about to go to Sabito's Leg an ant spawn above her.
'Watch out!!'
The ant then fell to the ground and disintegrated then an arrow fell after.
'An arrow?' Makomo said as she picked it up.
'Phew. That was a close call.' A tall, lightly tanned male with a tough build said.

'Im Bell Cranel member of Hestia Familia.' Bell said as he shakes his hand.
'Thank you for saving our familia member.' He added as he pulled away his hand.
'Uhm big sis Joohee can you heal me now?' Sabito asked Joohee quietly only to be heard by everyone.
Making everyone look at him and his wound.
'Ah! sorry Sabito' Joohee said as she hurried to him.
'Oh Beautiful Light, grant me thy power and heal my allies, Luminous Heal.' Joohee chanted quetly as the wound started lit up with golden light.

'Hello im Liliruca Arde.'
'Are you also from Hestia Familia?'
'O-oh im not im from the Soma Familia.'
'Haha thats still ok!' Ryuji pats Lili's back.
And that is how Takemikazuchi familia and Hestia familia became friends.
...
'Thank you Captain Ouka.' Bell bowed to Ouka as the others followed him.
'Its nice meeting you Hestia Familia!' Ouka said as he and the other members waved to Bell's Familia members
'Welcome back everyone!!' Hestia hugged them onw by one as they go in.
'How is the dungeon?'
'We need a mage or atleast some that can defend. Makomo needs to improve fight monsters while Sabito needs to stop rushing in.' Bell said as he scratches his cheek.
'And Big sis Joohee needs to learn some new spells.' he added
'Hmm I see, I'll give you guys some Valis tomorrow go buy some armour.'
'Joohee ill try teaching you some magic. Though when i say teaching its more like i give a book to read.'
'Oh yeah I have someone to introduce to you! Hey Suguru!!'
'Suguru?' All of the familia members repeated.
then they saw the tall man that has a tied hair asked their Goddess in the morning.
'Hello im Geto Suguru formerly from Izanami Familia.' He said as he waved at them.
'Wait!!' It was Sabito who shouted.
'You meant to say THAT Geto Suguru??!!!'
''What are you saying Sabito?' Bell asked confused.'
'Hmm Suguru OH!!! its Sabito's Idol Geto Suguru of the Izanami familia in the eastern part of Far East.'
'They gave him the title of 'The Strongest' because of his skill set.'
'I saw his stats he's strong and he is Level 5.'
'Level 5.. the one we saw killed the 2 plant monsters in one kick can you do that?' Bell asked.
'Well no. im more on the mage side than the fighter side.' He answered.
'Oh i see.'
'But still i do have a polearmship skill. So dont worry about protecting me.'
'Thats great we actually need a long ranger.' Bell said.
'How many spells do you have?'
'Two!'
'This is great!! With this we'll be able to go to floor 8 to floor 12!'
'Um Bell its good that you can go deeper but please level up first before going deeper.'
'Yes Goddess.'

'Oh my goodness what did you guys do? Even Joohee's stats went up.'
'Um well we kinda dindt take a break.' Bell explained as he laugh awkwardly.
'Bell forgot to give us Breaks.' Sabito said straight forwardly.
'Sabito i didnt mean to-'
'Yes yes he didnt give us breaks that black hearted person.' Makomo interupted Bell
'Come on guys!!' Bell was about to cry as he shouted.
Then he heard a laugh... It was Suguru's laugh.
Then rest of the Familia followed.
'Well next time remind him you guys probably didnt noticed because of your stats.' Suguru explained as he pats Bell's and Sabito's back.
'By the way Goddess were not going down the dungeon tomorrow.
Hestia raised a brow.
'Why?'
'Were gonna get ready for an expidition to the floor 15 buut!! We need to buy you guys an armour!!'
'True.' Sabito agreed.
'Lets go to Babel tomorrow.' Suguru said.
'Everyone here?' Suguru asked as he waited for the whole familia to be ready.
'Ready!'
'Then lets go shopping!!' He yelled with a raised hand
'YES!!' Everyone followed his example.
...
'First is the frontliners.' Suguru said.
'I remember buying a Welf Crozzo gauntlet- arm-shoulder guard to my friends Yasuo. Before i left he was still using saying that its too high quality for a low price that is why we are going to look for an Crozzo equipment.' Suguru explained.
'If its him who make an armour Bell can probably tank a minotaur punch.'
'That is high quality if you say it like that.' Hestia answered.
'Well of course cause im not lying i really bought one for my friend.'
'Well were here!' He said as he gesture to the lower floor of the Babel but then they saw a red head arguing with the shopkeep.
'Come on man atleast put it on a small space aslong as it there.
'Hello there Shopkeep.'
'Hm? Oh Geto to think ill meet you here whatcha looking for? the Shopkeep looked behind the redhead.
'Need some equipment for my new familia, got any of those crozzo stuff you sold to me last time.'
'Hehe did you hear that old man? looks like i have customer.'
'Hm? you are a new shopkeep?' Suguru asked.
'Nope! Im Welf Crozzo. The blacksmith youre talking about.'
'Good lets make a Familia exclusive contract.' It was Hestia who answered.
'Are you sure about that Goddess, he might be lying?' Suguru asked.
'Gods can sense lies have you forgoten about that?'
'Oh yeah.'
'Well what do you say?'
'Hmm... I wanna hear the conditions first.'
'Well lets see, First is that you will join familia's party as their Blacksmith.
Second is that you cant sell to other familia!
Third is that we will only go to you when we have materials. How is that?'
'Hm... Deal!! Oh wait can i leave the party?
'Yes you can but the benefits will be gone w e'll only pay you valis if that happens though its not like youre gonna leave us right~~??' Welf shivered as he saw the Goddess' smile.
'I wont do that not to my only customer.'
'Alright we got a deal. When are we going to the dungeon?' He asked
'Make some armour first here.' bags of materials then appeared as she threw it to Welf.
'What is this? well the material ranging from metals to leathers to cloths.
There is even a basic runes book in there.'
Welf then opened the bags.
'You arent kidding.'
'Alright lets do this!'
'Um i know this is abit embarassing but can you guys help me with this?'
'Sure Hestia familia is here to help!' Bell said as he grab one of the bags.
5 days later...
'Welf said he's gonna visit us good thing we gave him our address.' Bell said as he sharpened the Hestia knife.
Then a knock came from the door.
'Who is this?'
'Its me Bell!'
'Welf! Come in come in!'
'Everyone Welf is here!'
'Makomo be careful!!' Sabito's voice can be heard as Makomo rushed down the stairs.
'What did you make for us?' She asked.
'Well lets start with the mages.'
'Sir Suguru here.' He pulled a haori.'
'Hm? a Long sleeve shirt??'
'Yes it has resistance to sharp object, Anti- Flame magic and Blunt force resistance and A Halberg.
'Fur cloak for miss Joohee.'
'Next is armour for Sabito We its not really armour.' He then gave him a full set of clothing.
'Same as the other two but its a Kimono, a haori, and a hakama.'
'Bell take this clothing and this chest plate.' He said as he gave him a skin tight upper wear.
'This is yours Makomo.'
(Btw its the clothes they have in the anime, Suguru has the jujutsu high uniform. while joohee is wearing the same as the manhwa during the Jeju island raid where they protected korea from the stray ants.)
'Alright Welf get your equipments were going to the floor 15 im gonna train you guys.'
'Im so excited!' Makomo said.
.
.
.
.
.
'Lili is not here?' Bell said as the others waited for Bell to finish talking to the old couple.
'Soma familia home huh?'
'Looks like we got a problem.'
'What happened Suguru?' Joohee asked.
'I felt something evil and malicious.' Suguru said as he glance at the roofs unnoticed by everyone except Sabito.
"Hehe to you think i didnt see you?" As he thought of that he summoned insects on his hidden hand.
"follow them." He ordered the insect.
'Looks like Lili went back to her Familia home.'
'We have no supporter then.' Suguru answered.
'Should we go?'
'Lets go I'll take care of the drops.'
'Alright everyone were continuing our plan. Lets wait for Welf on the guild.'
'Guys im here!' Welf yelled He is wearing a blue scarf around his neck. His attire consists ofadark blue long-sleeveshirt underneath a black kimono with a brownbelt tied around his waistalong with tannedwhite pantsand long brown boots and a big sword on his back.
'You said you were going to your supporter Lili where is she?'
'She back to her familia home.'
'what familia is she anyway?'
'I heard her say Soma Familia.'
'tsk.' Welf click his tongue.
'Why did you-'
'Bell. Soma familia is dangerous, ive accidentally stumbled upon them one time bastards stole my items once. Good thing i was able to get it back.'
'Like they could do that.' Makomo answered we got a Level 5 with us they cant mess with us.'
'You flatter me but lets stop thinking of that. For now dungeon diving is the main priority.' Suguru said as he summoned wolves and owls that emits electricity.
'Lets do this!!' Everyone in the party shouted.
