The rest of the night was dedicated to random conversations as a way of getting to know each other better. Although it was a short time, I managed to form opinions about Sylvia's brother and sister. If I had to describe them, it would be something like this.
Sylvia's brother is not very eloquent, but he is incredibly fun. He would be a typical case of someone who acts more with the sword than with the brain, but that doesn't necessarily make him a bad person. Quite the opposite, he is extremely sensitive to the suffering of others and hates to see people in unhappy situations.
As for Sylvia's sister, she is quite reserved and speaks as little as possible. However, the way she observes others while everyone is talking clearly indicates that she is enjoying everyone's company. She is the quiet and kind type.
I think Sylvia's family's character also reflects on the state of the kingdom, as they are all good people. However, Sylvia's twin brother is an exception, showing that even in a good family like hers, it is not impossible for someone with bad intentions to be born.
The next morning, we said goodbye to Sylvia and her family, heading back to the Anima kingdom to finally enter the dungeon. By the way, the dress I gave to Sylvia looked incredibly elegant on her. As I mentioned before, it has various built-in functionalities, and one of them is the ability to change the external appearance of the clothing.
Sylvia tried on various clothes she had, and all of them fit her perfectly. In addition, the clothes faithfully replicated the material and color of the original pieces. Well, I was already aware of that, as Shade had warned me before. That was one of the reasons why I chose to order a handmade dress.
Anyway, during my flight as a Wyvern, the landscape gradually transformed. Leaving the rural region of Arclight, I entered the forested area of Anima. Although both regions had both forested and rural areas, compared to Arclight, Anima stood out for its forest predominance, giving the place an exotic atmosphere.
(Girls, let's fly directly to the dungeon)
Saying these words mentally, their response came soon after, in an excited tone.
(Okay)
After some time of flight, we finally arrived at the location. As soon as I landed, the girls descended from my wing, and shortly after, I resumed my human form. The place in front of us resembled a temple covered with vines and plants growing on its structure. It was a truly magical and charming scene.

"The location matches the description Leona's father gave me... but I don't see the door as he mentioned. In the other dungeon, we entered without realizing, but this time we approached and it still doesn't seem like we've entered the dungeon"
While pondering on how to resolve this situation, Aurora-sama's voice echoed in my mind. Come to think of it, it had been a while since I last heard her.
"Congratulations on reaching the second dungeon, Makoto. You have no idea of the expression Artena is making right now. Anyway, to enter this dungeon, just touch the entrance. Oh, preferably do it while holding Leona's hand. The other girls just need to do the same as you"
Listening to Aurora-sama's words, I figured this was one of those entrances that was always open, but only a few could activate it, something like a portal for the chosen ones. Putting that thought aside, I approached the girls and began to explain what we should do.
"According to my goddess's instructions, we just need to touch the entrance of the dungeon to get in"
Upon hearing my words, the girls nodded in agreement. Then, I turned to Leona and extended my hand to her. Initially, Leona didn't understand my intention, but still held my hand. As we approached the dungeon's entrance, I turned to Leona.
"Ready?"
Leona nodded, and seeing that, I touched the door. Immediately, both of us were enveloped in a blue light, reminiscent of the teleportation method of the Tower of Babel.
As the intense blue light dissipated, I slowly opened my eyes, finding myself in the same place as before. Nothing had changed, but looking back, I noticed the girls had disappeared. I was confused and decided to wait for some time, but no matter how much time passed, there was no sign that they would return.
(Aurora-sama, is there a problem with the teleportation? Only Leona and I are present here)
As soon as I thought these words, Aurora-sama's voice immediately echoed in my mind.
"Hmm... it seems this dungeon has multiple entrances; you and Leona entered through one, while the girls chose others. They're probably fine, and there's a chance they fell together, so everything should be fine in the next few hours. Also, the entrances are close to each other, so it shouldn't take long to find them"
Of course, it's not like I would instantly calm down after Aurora-sama's words. Still, panicking wouldn't help me at all. I decided to stay calm and start looking for them.
"Leona, it seems this dungeon has multiple entrances. We need to find the girls before something happens"
Hearing my words, Leona's face quickly changed from surprised to worried. She nodded, and we began to move through the forest. We weren't acting randomly; I had already asked Shade to try to find them. After my request, she disappeared into a shadow.
After that, Leona and I began to search the area around our entry point. Unfortunately, we found nothing, so we decided to expand our search. I was creating something akin to a map using Shade's magic. It wasn't perfect, but it would probably help us find our way back if we got lost.
Although I wanted to call Glasy, unfortunately, she wasn't with us. Even without understanding her language, Glasy seemed to have other tasks, so I left her in Anima. Besides, I didn't know if it would be prudent to bring her to such a dangerous place.
