Since Henri was not really in top form, we ended our Dungeon dive after we beat that Rock Spider.
We returned to the Guild counter set up outside the Dungeon below the school for Tika to report her progress.
The Guild receptionist smiled when she received Tika's report, "Oh, that's the fortieth floor cleared. Well done. Even if you stop here, you'll be sure to get a good grade, student Tika."
"Thank you, but I did not achieve all that on my own. It is thanks to my party supporting me."
"Fufu~ But of course. My praise is extended to your party too. Well done everyone."
All of us accepted the praise gracefully.
Tika then turned to me and Odeta, "And thank you for your help so far, Aster. You have been an exceptional support for us!"
I waved my hands, "Oh, don't worry about it! All of you were great teammates too! I barely did anything."
Journal Entry:
To think I would meet up with them again. It's still heartening to see that they're still together though, since being a Mercenary kind of puts you in danger most of the time. It would not be weird to hear that one of them passed from an encounter gone wrong.
