I love time travel the most!

Whether he received a "favor" or was "guided," it was an invaluable benefit to him.

Finn and Riveria exchanged a glance.

Just like the intelligence they had received, news of what the goddess Freya had done in the desert had already reached their ears. Combined with Kobayashi's retelling that filled in the gaps, they were indeed not lying.

"Captain! Camping is ready."

At this moment, the extraordinary Raul came to report.

The sounds of preparations for camping filled the air, with group members exchanging instructions and figures bustling about.

As the wooden stakes were driven into the ground, the ropes and cloth were gradually pulled apart, and the tents were erected one by one.

They are currently on the 50th floor.

Like the 18th floor, this is a safe floor where monsters will not appear; they are currently resting.

According to the original plan, the two groups of troops met on the 18th floor and then went straight to the 50th floor, which is located in the deepest part of the area.

The group set up camp on a giant rock that offered a panoramic view of the entire building.

Because this floor lacks natural light and is shrouded in twilight, magic stone lamps have been tied to various locations.

Even so, the visibility is still not very good.

As soon as Kobayashi finished speaking, the other members of the Loki Familia began to whisper among themselves, but they weren't talking about him; they were talking about the other members of the Familia.

"I said, what's wrong with Bert and the others...?"

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask!"

"Don't you think it's rougher than usual?"

The Loki Familia's first-class adventurers... or more precisely, those who had witnessed Bell's battle deep within the 9th floor—the Amazon sisters, the werewolf Bert, and the swordswoman Ais—couldn't sit still for a moment, pacing around silently, their presence making everyone uneasy.

Finn, the hero giving instructions at the main camp, also sighed at these restless young first-class adventurers.

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Kobayashi, it must have been very tiring."

"No, I was just running with everyone, I didn't do anything." Kobayashi shook his head.

I wonder if anyone has ever had the experience of riding a bicycle with hundreds of other people.

In fact, this large corporation is not as bloated as one might imagine. If they want to speed up, they only need a few windbreakers at the front. Inside the corporation, they are not even affected by the wind at all, as if they are being carried forward.

The same goes for Kobayashi.

[Loki Familia] Some people are capricious and switch every few floors after the 18th floor, giving each level 1 adventurer time to perform and rest. That's why they reached the 50th floor in just 6 days.

During this time, apart from occasionally using his eyes to warn them about the direction from which the monsters were coming, Kobayashi did not have a chance to make a move.

In addition, the magic that often helped them heal solidified his status as a support staff member.

"Thanks to Kobayashi, that boy was able to be rescued successfully."

Brave Finn suddenly changed the subject.

Clearly, he was also reminded of the time when magic was first used.

That was on the 9th floor, where the boy fought a fierce battle with the bull with all his might, won the victory, and then collapsed unconscious.

The moment the battle ended, Kobayashi immediately stepped forward and used healing magic to heal Bell's wounds. However, due to exhaustion, Bell did not wake up at that time.

There was also Lily, a little human lying unconscious in the corner, her head covered in filthy blood.

After obtaining the hero Finn's consent, Kobayashi took the two of them to the treatment room in the Tower of Babel and summoned the guild's guards to report to the guild that the Minotaur had appeared in the upper levels.

After the guild staff left, a young goddess rushed in.

Hestia, perhaps having heard that her family had been sent here, rushed over in her shop uniform. Looking at the serene, white-haired boy, she tightly grasped his right hand, her eyes filled with tears.

Kobayashi and Ais the Swordswoman, who were about to leave, explained what had happened to her.

"...Thank you."

Hestia is not an unreasonable goddess. She knows that her child is constantly pushing himself to catch up with the person he admires, but since Bell has this wish, she should silently support him from behind.

After hearing her thanks, Kobayashi nodded and left with Ais.

The two then quickened their pace to return to the dungeon, and soon reunited with Finn and Grace, who was leading the second echelon.

Inspired by the "Young Warriors vs. Bulls" performance, the Amazon sisters, werewolf Bert, and others enthusiastically took on the challenge. With the help of Kobayashi's "Eyes," they reached the 50th floor in just 6 days.

After setting up camp, everyone began to eat.

To keep watch, they formed a large circle around the campfire in the center of the camp, and as on previous expeditions, they ate very well this time as well.

To reward the participants and maintain morale, the meals were very lavish.

There was meat, fruit, dry food, and delicious soup.

"Here you go, Kobayashi."

"Thank you."

Kobayashi accepted the food offered by the hero Finn and expressed his gratitude.

Meanwhile, the skilled blacksmiths of the Hephaestus Familia also joined in, enjoying a lively meal and drinks.

A one-eyed, large-breasted female blacksmith named Chun, carrying dried meat and a bowl, sat down and asked curiously, "You guys have seemed a bit off on the way here. What's wrong?"

Just as Kobayashi had said before, the hero Finn had arranged for personnel to switch roles well in advance in order to maintain the speed of progress.

The group of people who were provoked left the others standing aside and showed off their prowess, leaving the others who didn't know the reason still very confused.

At this moment, Tiona, who was wolfing down her food, spoke up: "On the way to the 18th floor, we encountered an incredibly outrageous adventurer, so we can't sit still anymore!"

"Oh? What's your name?"

"Crown Bernie?"

"It's Bell Craney!"

When Tsubaki heard Tiona say the outrageous name, she was about to write it down when Kobayashi couldn't help but correct her.

"Yes, yes, write it down, write it down..."

Chun didn't care at all and continued her somewhat silly conversation with Tiona.

Then she looked at Kobayashi, her single eye revealing curiosity.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, I just find it interesting. Young man, you're able to come to the depths of the dungeon with the Loki Familia, you must have potential. How about you tell me my name?"

Don't misunderstand, she didn't mean anything by it.

It was simply a matter of noting down the names of promising adventurers—weapon users—so that they could do better business in the future.

"Xiaolin, just call me Xiaolin."

"Okay, I've got it."

Chun seemed very happy as she wrote down another name.

After the meal, Kobayashi and the others formed a circle around Finn and began the final confirmation process.

"Come on, let's start one last discussion."

Seeing his companions gathering around him, Captain Finn said directly, "As I told you beforehand, starting from the 51st floor, a selected team will attack, while the rest of you will defend the camp together with the [Hephaestus Familia]."

Starting from level 51, even supporters must possess a minimum level of ability.

The more people who go together, the more time and effort it will take. Therefore, in order to value the team's mobility, only the elite of the [Family] can go to uncharted territories.

After getting plenty of rest, we will launch an attack on the areas we haven't reached yet tomorrow.

"The personnel are me, Riveria, Grace..."

Without hesitation, Finn named the seven members of the clan's leadership and staff.

They are the elite of the elite, and we must go together.

Upon hearing the name, they were all eager to try.

Next up were the team members responsible for providing support.

"The supporters include Raul and Lefia..."

The elf girl whose name was called couldn't help but shudder.

Although she knew beforehand, Lefia still secretly swallowed when she heard that she had been chosen.

All the supporters were LV4, except for her, the elven mage, who was only LV3.

She quietly became nervous.

At that moment, a hand rested on her shoulder.

The girl, who thought it was Ais, looked over with a touched expression, only to find that it was actually a man.

"Mr. Xiaolin..."

"Don't be so discouraged. You can't figure out whether you're discouraged because you went down to the lower level or because of me."

"No, that's not the case..."

"It's ok."

The nervous elf girl wanted to apologize, but Kobayashi waved her hand dismissively: "I just wanted to say don't be nervous, because there's still me, a Level 2, here for you."

Suddenly, Finn, the leader on stage, called out the last name: "Kobayashi, although it's a bit of a stretch, I need your eyes. Could you please come along?"

"Of course, that's the reason I exist, isn't it?"

Kobayashi agreed without hesitation, and at the same time winked at the nervous Lefia beside him, indicating that she could relax a little.

The comforted elven girl gripped her wand tightly, while secretly sighing inwardly.

If only the person comforting her could be the Fiora she admires.

Finn nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Kobayashi's answer.

"Alright. Those who remain at the camp, if those new monsters appear, deal with them from a distance using [Demon Sword] and [Magic]. The guards must be on high alert and not let the monsters get close! Angel, the command is in your hands."

"Yes."

With each set of precautions laid out, the entire Loki Familia began to operate smoothly and efficiently.
