Chapter 856 Hermes’ Obsession
Within a tent of a temporary base that was set up by both Yoruichi and Serafall, Lefiya dropped down face first on her soft bedding while muttering, "Ugghhh... When will this end?"
Two of her friends also entered the large tent given for the girls of Loki Familia, "It has been a while ever since you started saying that. Haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Tiona approached her and sat beside her feet.
"There's no way I'm going to get used to this kind of lifestyle!" Lefiya immediately retorted, "I don't mind studying Magic theories and practice, but did we have to fight monsters for 8 hours straight every single day!?"
"It's not actually that bad, though?" Tiona replied while punching the air, practicing her mastery over Ki.
"I think their words are true that the best way to use what you've learned is through practical application and monster hunting is one of those." The second one who'd entered, Filvis, added. Ever since they'd reached the 63rd floor of the Dungeon, she had already stopped wearing her mask. Not because Filvis didn't want to, but because she was forced to reveal her identity by Yoruichi, announcing what sort of being she is and threatening everyone who showed any sort of hostile reaction.
The current expedition would be added to the annals of history, not just as the greatest but also the biggest because it was composed of various members from the Loki, Freya, Hephaestus, Ganesha, Hermes, Takemikazuchi, Miach, and even Kali Familia. It was an unthinkable level of cooperation considering the first two Familias' relationship, but it was made possible by the members of the Hestia and Artemis Familia's, who came to convince the Deities.
The children and most of the Deities participating thought that this proposal wasn't a very good idea, but beyond their expectations, Freya and Loki readily agreed and arranged everything for it to become possible.

"Are you seriously saying that? You know that the Sword Princess could never be a hero due to her origins. Not to mention, Kisuke Urahara's group is just a gathering of unknowns ready to explode. I hope you didn't forget that the only way to defeat and overcome the Black Dragon and the subsequent consequences is through a Hero with a completed Divine Blessing. Although I applaud their methods to get stronger without the help of Deities, it was already proven that it was the wrong approach. Do you want to repeat the tragedy of the Great Spirits?"
"No one, including the Dungeon, would ever wish for something like that to happen again."
Ouranos's reply made Hermes raise his brows, "...What do you know about the Dungeon?"
"A little bit more than everyone else. However, I have no obligation to reveal that information to you. In any case, the Guild's decision to allow them to partake in a joint expedition wouldn't change even if you complain to me. Whether you accept their invitation or not will be up to you."
Hermes stared at him for a minute before sighing and turning around to leave. While going through the dimly lit tunnel, he thought to himself, 'Should I really send Asfi with them? But if I don't, I won't be able to get a clue to what these people are trying to do.'
The open-minded and intelligent God, Hermes, fell victim to his own biases due to Kisuke's group of 'unknown' variables and his obsession with the 'traditional' hero.

At first, Filvis' existence was the biggest controversy among the expedition members, and many would even be openly hostile against her. If not for her being a member of the Loki Familia, she would have been attacked in her sleep. But these days, the concern over her was already largely abated, not just because she saved many of them from harm, but also because Yoruichi suddenly brought three Minotaurs, all-around Level 5, to join the expedition, and they were calling her boss...
