The journey back always feels longer than the way there.
After all, compared to the sense of exploration during the descent, the return trip always seems rather dull.
Especially once you get above the 10th floor.
Those occasional Pigmen or Imps that pop up have their heads smashed in by Kirukiru Amou, who's in a foul mood, before they can even get close to the group.
No one else even needs to lift a finger.
"This road..."
"Why does it feel even longer than it did coming down?"
Hanazake Warabi was slumped entirely over Black Bear Fierce Person's back, a lollipop she'd produced from who-knows-where stuffed in her mouth, mumbling incoherently.
"That's just your imagination."
Rin, walking beside them, shot Hanazake Warabi a look.
Kikakujuo Mary chimed in from the side.
"That's probably what they call 'being anxious to return home'."
"But."
"Speaking of which."
"Even though we're just a temporarily assembled party."
"We haven't had a chance to formally get to know each other yet."
"Should we all introduce ourselves?"
"After all."
"It's not very polite to keep calling people 'the one with the axe', 'the one with the pack', is it?"
"Ah! Yes!"
Hearing Kikakujuo Mary's words.
Kashima Sakura, walking behind, hurriedly took two quick steps forward. Even with the huge pack on her back, she managed a standard bow.
"Um..."
"Let me introduce myself first!"
"I am the Captain of the Takemikazuchi Familia, Kashima Sakura!"
"This is Mikoto."
"That's Chigusa, and Asuka."
"We are all from the Far East."
"Due to our God's circumstances, we are currently in Orario, working part-time while engaging in adventuring activities."
"Far East?"
Hearing this term.
For Rin and the others, who had already been in this world for several days, it was no longer unfamiliar.
"No wonder."
"I thought your attire and the weapons you use..."
"Especially that Miss Mikoto."
Rin glanced at the tachi at Mikoto's waist.
"That curvature and forging technique..."
"It's very similar to the style from our homeland."
"Yes."
Mikoto smiled somewhat shyly.
"Although the mainstream weapons in Orario are longswords and short knives."
"But..."
"Weapons from our homeland are still the most comfortable to use."
