nEvery member of the main team gathered around the bonfire, and they were about to discuss their expedition toward the 59th Floor.

nThe purpose of their expedition was to reach the unexplored floor, the 59 Floor.

nLast time, they failed, but this time, they brought the blacksmith team from the Hephaestus Familia to help them on this expedition. After all, if that giant caterpillar appeared once again, they wouldn’t have been troubled if they lost their weapons with so many blacksmiths around them.

nStill, they somehow felt something weird besides Ais and Tsubaki.

nHowever, they smartly didn’t say anything and focused on their discussion regarding the expedition.

nTsukasa didn’t say anything and ate dinner quietly.

n“What’s wrong?” Riveria, who sat next to him, whispered since she noticed Ais’s gaze was quite wrong. She could see that Ais’s gaze was aimed toward Tsubaki, so she wondered whether something had happened before.

n“Tsubaki proposed a marriage to me,” Tsukasa said flatly.

n“…..” Riveria was in silence, then glanced at Tsubaki in silence. However, her expression was several times colder.

nStill, Tsubaki didn’t care and just smiled in Tsukasa’s direction.

n“Cough! Cough!” Finn coughed hard to get their attention. “Let’s begin our final briefing. As mentioned earlier, only select parties will challenge the area beyond the 51st Floor. The rest will defend the camp together with the Hephaestus Familia. The party will consist of me, Riveria, Gareth, Ais, Tiona, Tione, Bete, and you, Tsukasa.”

nTsukasa nodded when Finn stared at him.

n“The supporters will be Raul, Narvi, Alicia, Cruz, and Lefiya.” Finn then looked at the rest and said, “Should the monsters appear, everyone who remains in the camp is to use magic swords or magic to deal with them from a distance.” The caterpillar monsters were too troublesome, and if they weren’t careful, they would melt their weapons, so when they appeared, they shouldn’t hesitate and used their magic swords and magic. Aki, you’ll be in charge here.”

nAnikitty nodded. “Yes.”

nTsukasa looked at this cute cat girl and didn’t say anything.

n“Tsubaki, please accompany us to maintain our weapons,” Finn said.

n“Alright, leave it to me.” Tsubaki grinned, full of excitement. “Right, I have something to pass on to you!” She then told her people to bring all the weapons ordered by the Loki Familia.

nIn order to prepare for the enemies they would face in the expedition, the Loki Familia had ordered many weapons with “Durandal” properties. They were all weapons that couldn’t be destroyed no matter what.

nIt was obvious that the price was **ing high.

nTsukasa was also offered such a weapon, but he didn’t need one since his Drying Pole was enough, which greatly relieved Finn since the financial situation of the Loki Familia wasn’t good.

nThe main source of income for the Loki Familia was through the expedition. In other words, all of them came from the dungeon. They received a quest to hunt for particular drop items from monsters and sold them at a high price.

nThe Loki Familia was definitely rich, but they were quite far away compared to the business-type Familia.

nHowever, without a doubt, the Loki Familia was the strongest one.

n“Tsukasa…” While Finn felt relieved by the weapons crafted by Tsubaki, he still looked at Tsukasa with a hopeful expression.

n“I stayed out every night to make all of them, you know?” Tsukasa sighed and said, “Line, can you help me to bring them?”

n“Yes.”

nLine came to everyone while holding a large bag.

nWhen the bag was opened, they saw the magic weapon, which was carefully crafted by Tsukasa. The design was intricate and striking. Whether male or female, their eyes brightened when they saw them.

n“There are only twenty of them. I can’t make much in such a limited time.” Tsukasa rubbed his glabella since he often worked overtime when he returned.

n“Thanks.” That was all Finn could say since he was moved.

nTwenty magic weapons might not seem much, but it was enough for everyone on the expedition. There was even an extra that could be used by the members in charge of protecting the 50th Floor.

nWhat’s even more amazing was that his magic weapon was permanent, so they didn’t need to worry that it would be destroyed.

n“Choose which shape that you want. There are many types, but they are mostly the same. You should try it first,” Tsukasa said.

nWhile the shape he made was similar to a firearm, there were many shapes, such as pistols, revolvers, riffles, and bazookas. They also shot out a bullet made of magic, except the bazooka would create an explosion.

n“Then, this old man will take this!” Gareth took the bazooka without hesitation with a laugh.

nThe girls took pistols and revolver types.

nEven Riveria and Lefiya didn’t shy away since they knew how powerful his magic weapon was.

nBete, even if he hated Tsukasa, must admit his crafting skill was godly, and he also took the revolver. After all, he must admit the design was so handsome.

nFinn took the riffle type and caressed it gently. Instantly, he fell in love with this weapon and felt grateful to Tsukasa. “Thank you, Tsukasa.”

n“Don’t break or leave it, alright? Or I won’t craft it again in the future,” Tsukasa said.

n“Hahaha…” Finn could only laugh awkwardly, but he nodded. “I’ll try.”

n“Also, be careful about the magic consumption. It might be a powerful weapon, and the consumption might not be much, but be careful.”

n“What is this?” However, many blacksmiths, especially Tsubaki, looked at Tsukasa’s magic weapon curiously. She often held it and wanted to try but pulled the trigger. However, it did nothing.

n“It can only be used by the members of the Loki Familia, so you can’t use it,” Tsukasa said while looking at Tsukasa.

n“Then, can you let me see the design?” Tsubaki asked, full of excitement.

n“No.”

n“……” Tsubaki had expected this, but she felt disappointed. Still, she kept looking at him and didn’t want to give up since she wanted him!

nTsubaki had decided that she was going to have his children!

nHowever, Tiona and Ais quickly noticed Tsubaki’s gaze and quickly stood in front of Tsukasa.

n“……..” Tsukasa.

nAfter they had all chosen up, the rest of the members of the Loki Familia also took the rest of the magic gun. They were all ready, and they had finished their briefing. They rested in their tent, and some slept or just stared at the sky absentmindedly since they were about to start their expedition toward the 59th Floor.

nTsukasa also stayed in his tent alone since it was hard for someone to enter his tent, especially with everyone around, so he didn’t dare to do something stupid.

nThen, the morning came, and everyone had fully prepared for their adventurer, bringing their new weapons in optimum condition.

n“Go!”

nAlong with Finn’s command, they walked down the stairs toward the 51st Floor!
