"Well..."

As soon as my voice echoed in the place, all voices ceased. Everyone seemed to be waiting for my next words. The three men also seemed nervous, not knowing how to react, but like.

(I really don't intend to kill them or anything. Do I really seem like the kind of person who would do something like that?)

I thought as I looked at the three men. With a small sigh, I started to approach the men with slow steps. As soon as the men noticed my approach, they started to walk backward, their legs were shaking, showing that all three were quite afraid of me. As soon as I approached the man who seemed to be the leader, I crouched down and put my mouth close to his ear.

"Friend, I think that in this short time you have already realized that you will not be able to defeat me, right?"

Hearing my words, the man shook his head wildly, confirming what I was saying. Seeing this, a smile appeared on my face.

"Right, since that's the way it is, I don't mind letting it stop here"

Hearing my words, the man was momentarily surprised; however, this was soon replaced by an expression of anger. Noticing this, I looked again at the man's face, and as soon as our eyes met, the man looked away to the ground. This honestly was a headache, for some reason I was feeling that I would still see this guy in the future. With a sigh, I stood up and walked away from the man, walking towards the girls.

"Let's go back. Ana looks like she is starving"

I said as soon as I approached the girls. Looking at Ana, it was possible to hear her stomach rumbling. Hearing my words, all the girls nodded, especially Ana, who seemed to be the most excited about the idea. With this in mind, we all went back to the inn and sat down. The crowd had also dispersed, so everything was quiet again.

After a few minutes, the woman who gave me the key to the rooms yesterday came towards us with a tray in her hand. As soon as she approached, she started to put our food on the table. Detail, Ana was eating almost double compared to us.

As soon as the woman placed the food on our table, she looked around slightly before turning her face to me again. She looked like she wanted to say something, but I was totally surprised when she bowed her head and thanked me.

"Thank you so much for before"

She said while keeping a soft smile on her face. Listening to her words, I was a little confused since technically I ended up causing trouble.

"For what?"

I asked, confused. Hearing my words, the woman put a soft smile on her face before answering me.

"That man is actually quite well known to the people of the town. He is part of a thieves' guild that is near the slum. A few weeks ago, he apparently moved up in rank, and with that, he received two henchmen capable of using magic. Because of that, he started intimidating people and doing whatever he wants as if the town was his"

Said the woman as she sighed. It seemed like that guy was causing quite a bit of trouble around here. But as soon as she said that, her gaze turned to concern as she looked at me again.

"It is for this reason that you should leave this town"

I heard the woman say. A look of doubt came over my face.

"Why?"

I asked, looking at the woman. Seeing the confusion on my face, she let out a sigh and began to explain herself.

"Aren't you guys from around here?"

She asked, looking at me doubtfully. Hearing her words, I just nodded, confirming her suspicion.

"Anyway, whenever something doesn't go the way that man wants, he goes back to the slums and reports to the leader of the bandit guild. He tells lies, saying that there is someone in the city who is underestimating them"

Hearing the woman's words, I could understand the situation a little better. That probably meant that the guy would come back. Well, I really wasn't caring much about that, to tell you the truth. Even if he did come back, I doubted he would be able to hurt me. I doubted more of them would change that outcome.

"Thank you very much for the warning; I will keep that in mind"

I said with a soft smile on my face. Hearing my words, the woman nodded and said goodbye, going back to the kitchen again. She would probably take the other customers' orders.

"What do we do from now on?"

Fujiwara asked, looking at me. Hearing Fujiwara's words, both Saemi and Aoi-sensei seemed interested in the matter. Ana was fully focused on her food as always.

"First, we will go to the adventurers' guild and sign up there. Besides being a good way to get some money, it will also be a good source of information. But at the end of the day, our goal still remains the same: finish all the floors of Babel"

I said while looking at the girls. Hearing my words, they all nodded their heads, seeming to agree with my idea. But even though I said this, I had no idea how we would do this. With that in mind, I decided to ask the only person I knew who could help us.

"Aurora-sama, isn't it about time you told me what to do from now on?"

I asked in my mind. After a few seconds, a voice echoed in my head.

"I promised you, didn't I? Well... first of all, the way you will do it will be a little different now. Basically, in each of the seven realms, there is a dungeon containing 14 floors. So, you need to visit all the realms if you want to finish the mission"

Hearing Aurora-sama's words, a doubt arose in my mind. If we count the five floors that we conquered previously along with the 14 floors of the seven realms, it would make a total of 103 floors. But this doesn't make any sense, since originally Aurora-sama had told me that there would only be 100 floors. This made me realize that Aurora-sama was still hiding something from me.
