The Fukaros Familia, starting from DanMachi.

Chapter 186 Lefia's Attack

Early the next morning.

The eighteenth level, the "sky" made of crystal, began to emit a soft white light, simulating the dawn on the earth's surface.

The crisp air carries the fragrance of grass and trees; taking a deep breath feels like washing away all the stale air from your lungs.

A gentle breeze rustled through the treetops, lifting a few emerald green leaves, which twirled and fell through the air, the dewdrops on their tips refracting tiny rainbows in the rising sunlight.

Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.

However, this tranquility was soon shattered by a commotion that grew louder as it approached.

"Fen Yu, you pervert, stop right there!"

"No, I didn't! Stop chasing me!"

"What's wrong?"

Robin, Wind Violet, and the others were awakened by the commotion. They grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tent warily.

They initially thought they had encountered some kind of accident, such as a monster attack, but the scene before them left them all stunned.

Their leader, Fenyu, was engaged in a life-or-death race in a forest clearing, while behind him, the Loki Familia's elven mage, Lefia, was chasing after him, her face flushed and panting.

Relying on his superior physical abilities, Fen Yu and Leifia circled around in the forest, leaving the already weak mage Xiao Juan dizzy and on the verge of collapse.

"If you're so capable, then don't run away!"

Lefia, panting heavily, braced herself on her knees, her long, wavy ponytail a complete mess.

"Then why don't you just not chase after them?"

Fen Yu peeked out from behind a tree and curled his lip.

"Now, Miss Ais, grab him!"

Suddenly, Lefia used all her strength to shout behind Fenyu.

Fen Yu was startled and quickly turned around to look.

What a skill Ais possesses! How could she approach me from behind so silently without being detected? This Fiora's stealth ability is simply outrageous.

However, when he looked back, there was no one behind him, only a few fallen leaves blown by the wind.

"not good!"

Fen Yu thought to himself, realizing he had fallen into a trap.

But it was too late. Lefia had used her last bit of strength to pounce on him and pin him to the ground.

She straddled Fen Yu's body, pressing her hands against his arms, panting heavily.

"Finally—I've finally caught you!"

"Lefia, are you still that noble elf? How despicable of you to lie to me."

Fen Yu looked annoyed. "Damn it, I was careless and didn't dodge."

"Hmph, this is called 'all's fair in war,' and has nothing to do with being despicable."

Lefia finally caught her breath and a smug smile appeared on her face.

"I almost forgot, you're a top student from the school district."

"I'm so frustrated," Fen Yu said.

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out.

"Lefia, what are you doing?"

This time it's the real Ais Wallenstein.

She tilted her head, her golden eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Lefia, who was in a "forced" position, and Fenyu, who was pinned down beneath her.

"Wow~ Rafia is so bold!"

Tiona, who followed closely behind, had her eyes shining and let out a loud whistle, looking like she was enjoying the show.

Lefia then realized just how intimate her and Fenyu's current position was.

Her cheeks flushed bright red, redder than a ripe tomato, but she still suppressed her embarrassment and held Fen Yu tightly, refusing to let go.

"Miss Ais, Miss Tiona, come quick! I've caught him! We absolutely can't let him go, or he'll escape again."

"Okay, sure!"

Tiona was most interested in this kind of activity and ran over excitedly to help Lefia hold down Fenyu's restless hands and feet.

Although Ais still didn't understand the situation, seeing her friend asking for help, she silently stepped forward and gently placed her hand on Fenyu's body.

"Has Yu Bao broken any heavenly rules?"

Feng Jin blinked her azure eyes and asked Liu curiously beside her.

"In some ways, yes."

Liu knew the ins and outs of yesterday's events and nodded silently.

Although Robin, Tifa, and the others didn't know what had happened, they tacitly avoided getting involved and instead watched the show with great interest.

It seems that their leader has done something outrageous again, which has led to this large-scale arrest scene.

Overwhelmed by the three girls, Fen Yu completely gave up resistance and surrendered, helplessly stating that yesterday's events were purely beyond his control and that he truly did not do it on purpose.

"You still dare to talk back!"

When Lefia thought about what happened yesterday, her pretty face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and she glared at him fiercely.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault. Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."

Fen Yu adopted a "do-nothing" attitude, as if he was ready to be disposed of at will.

"Lefia, it's time for us to go."

Ais suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, yes, we have to leave now. If we don't go back soon, the commander will send people to bring us back."

Tiona nodded as well.

"All right!"

Lefia reluctantly got off Fenyu, straightened her disheveled clothes, and said, "I'll let you off the hook for today. We'll settle this score with you properly when we return from our expedition. Don't think you can get away with this so easily."

Lefia wasn't really being willful.

The Loki Familia were about to embark on a large-scale expedition, and they took advantage of the time before departure to run out and find Burning Feather. Their main purpose was just to say hello and, incidentally, to "get revenge."

After seeing off the Loki Familia girls who came for a "friendly exchange," Ryuya had to return to the ground first because his wealthy mistress had only taken one day off.

After all, being late and getting scolded by the dwarf shopkeeper, Jemia, would be even more terrifying than facing the floor manager.

As a result, the Fukalos Familia became the most leisurely group of people in this temporary camp on the eighteenth floor.

"Since we're already here..."

Fen Yu stretched and said, "It would be such a disappointment if we didn't check out the legendary Rivera town. Let's treat this as a team-building activity."

Everyone agreed, and after a short rest, they headed towards the lake.

They walked through the forest to the south of the building and arrived at a large lake in the western area.

In the distance, the outline of the town built on the giant rock is clearly visible.

"We've seen that island before,"

Feng Jin asked curiously, "But how do we cross this lake? We can't just walk across, that would attract too much attention."

Her words reminded everyone.

All members of the Fukaros Familia possess the [Blessing of the Water God], making walking on water as easy for them as eating and drinking.

But now, the name of the Fukaros Familia is already quite well-known in Orario, even a bit too high-profile.

At times like these, one should be more discreet and reserved, rather than flaunting one's rare divine blessing.

"Don't worry, there's a bridge there."

Daphne pointed to the edge of the forest ahead, "Look, that's it, made of large felled trees connected together."

Following her pointing, everyone indeed saw a huge log spanning the lake, like a natural log bridge.

The closer you get, the more imposing the rocky island appears.

They walked onto the natural wooden bridge made solely of huge tree trunks, its surface smoothed by countless feet. Of course, there were no safety features like railings.

The uneven bark and the perpetually slippery surface make walking somewhat difficult.

Fenyu naturally took the robin's hand to prevent her from slipping and falling.

Be careful.

"Mmm," the robin replied with a smile, letting him pull her along.

It was "morning" on the eighteenth floor. Although the light was not as bright as "daytime," the light falling from the crystal ceiling was still warm.

The shimmering, deep blue lake surface clearly reflected their careful movements as they crossed the bridge.

"Remember, whatever you do later, don't buy anything in Rivera town."

As Daphne walked carefully, she warned the "tourists" behind her like an experienced tour guide, "Otherwise you'll be ripped off badly. The prices there are so outrageous they'd make goblins cry."

After crossing the long wooden bridge, the real test has just begun.

The town of Rivera is located on the summit of the rocky island, and the journey there is arduous.

It's less about mountain climbing and more about constantly climbing up and down cliffs.

Amidst the wondrous scenery of vegetation growing around rock crevices and blue crystals, they finally arrived at a high ground with a wide-open view.

"Yes, the scenery is beautiful."

"Wow, this is truly spectacular!"

Robin, Wind Violet, and the others couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Standing here, you can see the entire eighteenth floor.
