Leon, Kai, Reina, and Fruela stood before the dungeon's entrance.
"Um… Can I take the blindfold off now?" Kai asked, his voice uncertain.
"Wait till we're on the stairs. Then you can take it off," Leon said, a faint smile curling his lips.
"Alright…" Kai nodded. As they began descending, he reached up and slowly removed the blindfold.
"Phew… This place feels familiar, huh?" Kai chuckled, glancing at Leon.
"Get to work, Kai," Leon said flatly as he walked past him without even looking back.
"…What the hell's up with him?" Kai mumbled under his breath.

Leon, Reina, and Fruela continued to the second floor, where hundreds of translucent green slimes bounced across the clean stone ground.
"Slimes…?" Reina muttered, crouching to poke one curiously.
"They don't attack you, huh ?" Leon asked, eyeing the slimes suspiciously.
"Creatures born from nature don't harm elves, Master," Reina said calmly as she started patting the slimes.
