Bab 73: Retracing Her Steps

Upon entering the first floor, Neve was brought back to the arena that she and the other 100 players had all fought on to begin the Main Dungeon. 

There were no bodies here, though. 

[Huh? Guess the System cleaned up after a while.] 

At that moment, Tamira appeared before them.

"Hello!" She spoke, instead of just communicating with Neve telepathically as she usually did. 

She probably gave them this welcome for the sake of earning the exact reaction Ahlakan gave. 

"AH!" Ahlakan jumped at the sight of the snake's sudden appearance. Erin flinched. Neve's only reaction was an instant sense of annoyance, seeping into her heart. Tamira looked quite satisfied. 

"Is this an enemy?" Erin asked. 

"You can kill it if you want." 

"Aw, Neve, that's so mean! After all I've done for you, this is how you want to repay me?"
