Ah! Boy! Here!"
I found Lilio and the members of [Moonlight] gathering in front of the guild when I came there with Arisa and the others.
They are also with other members of the Seryuu Selected Corps who have been healed of course.
As expected they didn't have enough time repair their equipments, so the damages on their armors remain.
Zena-san and Miss Gelca have started advancing through the [Passage of Death] before the labyrinth's gate when I was greeting the selected labyrinth corps' captain, Sir Henz.
When they have come near the west gate, I suitably close our conversations and walk toward the west gate to meet Zena-san.
"Ze, Zena-cchiii!"
"Lilio! I'm back."
Lilio jumps to Zena-san who comes out of the west gate when she saw her.
Slightly after her, Miss Iona and Miss Ruu also congratulate her safety.
"Zena-san, I'm glad that you're safe."
"Satou-san!"
Even while being hugged by the three girls, Zena-san extends her hand between the gap, and I grip her white hand to congratulate her safe return.
Arisa and Mia lightly kick me from behind though, please stop getting jealous during reunion.
◇
It seems Zena-san and Miss Gelca couldn't talk about the vampires due to the [Contract] skill, so they reported to the guild that they were kidnapped, confined and then, saved by a mysterious person.
The mysterious person was immediately judged as Kuro once they described the appearance. Due to that, it's decided that the one who had kidnapped Zena-san were to be the Lost Thieves.
I guess I can just talk about the vampires to the guildmaster as Kuro later.
Zena-san and the others are not going to enter the labyrinth for the next few days to repair their equipments and they're going to have as much rest as possible today after we have promised to eat some meal together tomorrow.
By the way, the reason why the Selected Corps were devastated was not because of the vampires but because some Soldier Mantis came out of the gushing hole and linked when they were fighting some Beetles so it became a fierce battle.
At that time, Zena-san was immediately kidnapped by the thick fog once she sustained a serious injury.
I heard later that Miss Gelca was also kidnapped by the thick fog when she was dying after getting attacked by an Assassin Shadow Goblin.
I wanted to ask for more details, but since Lady Karina appeared from the west gate while looking like a corpse behind Nana, I was forced to suspend it.
Apparently, she was being put on the [] made with Nana's force arte.
Not only Lady Karina, Erina and the others, and Kuro and Shiro are also being carried while looking dead tired.
They probably fall down from the sudden level up.
"Master, reporting our return."
"I'm bacck~?"
"I'm back nanodesu!"
"Welcome back. Are Karina-sama and the others having level up sickness?"
"Yes, so I affirm."
Looking at the AR indicators, Lady Karina has leveled up by 3, while Shiro and Kuro have gone from level 1 to level 7.
What kind of wild training did they do.
I have to tell them to hold back a bit during the labyrinth training tomorrow since she has to come to the tea party and the banquet with me the day after tomorrow.

And then, the night of that day, I went back to the labyrinth after comforting Pochi who was feeling down from the meatless kid's lunch.
Yes, in order to meet the aforementioned True Ancestor who might be a reincarnated person.
