Homecoming (
Summary[]
Realizing that she was unable to defeat Ais, Revis decided to break the main pillar of the pantry, causing everything to begin to collapse. After that she told her to go to the 59th Floor, commenting that things were getting interesting there, and said she would find answers there. Ais couldn't understand what she meant but Revis assured her that if what she said was true her blood would tell her the truth.
Two days later, Lefiya was thinking about the name Aria since both Olivas and Revis had called Ais that. She had tried to ask Ais but she was not able to get an answer. While she was at it Tiona and Tione knocked her door to check on her. She assured them that she had already recovered and asked them how they had fared in the sewers to which they replied that they found nothing except a few monsters. She then came up with the idea to ask them if they had heard the name Aria; Tiona answered that she had and proceeded to take them to the library to explain it better. There she told them that Aria was a Spirit that appeared in many hero stories although the details varied. Lefiya thought for a moment about the wind of Ais but she discarded the idea since, like the Gods, the Spirits had an aura that allowed them to be distinguished from other races, as well as being incapable of reproducing. When she was told to go to a meeting she closed Dungeon Oratoria, the book Aria appeared in, and returned it to the shelf.
After getting Finn's permission to go to the 59th Floor Ais went along with Lulune to a building with multiples safe deposit boxes to collect their reward for the quest. They found various valuable objects including gold, jewels, grimoires, and even a Unicorn Horn. She later went to the Guild and asked Eina to return the protector to Bell in person. While they were discussing a plan to prevent him from running away again he arrived but ran away again as soon as he saw Ais, however, this time she followed him and blocked his path.
After returning his protector to him she apologized to him for the Minotaur incident, but he told her that she didn't have to as it was his fault for going to Floor 5 unready. He also apologized for always running away from her and thanked her for saving him so many times. Ais changed the topic to his growth and congratulated him for reaching the 10th Floor so quickly, which he attributed to the help the others gave him, adding that he still had the fighting style of a rookie. Interested in knowing what the secret of his rapid growth was, Ais offered to teach him how to fight.
The next day Lefiya woke up early and thought about going to train with Ais but she was surprised to see that she wasn't there, wondering if she had woken up too early. At that moment she saw how Ais was heading away so she decided to follow her to find out where she was going. However, when she turned in a corner she bumped into Bell.
