Quest 68- Grand SpectacleWord quickly spread like wildfire of Ottar, challenging Zephyr to a match on the 18th floor. Adventures poured in, whether from different Familias or the sa, and they all helped one another get to that floor solely to watch these two fight.
On this day, even Evilus, for all of their evil, did not wish to miss this fight, having their children take them in hiding. No matter how skilled one was, one could not find them and vice versa. This would be considered the first unified gathering of Familia's, a spectacle that one needs to see for themselves.
Down on the 18th floor, it was quickly renovated by the hoards of adventurers coming to the town with help from several smithing Familia's.
"… Co on, I didn’t think it would escalate this far, Lord Ouranos?" Cirrus said, coming down the dungeon.
"I am simply amazed that 20% of the city’s population went to the 18th floor. I can feel several gods on said floor all to watch you, Cirrus." Ouranos said using a Occulus.
"Well, what did you expect!" said Nox in her human form in the invisibility mantle. "Cirrus and that Ottar are pretty famous! The Warlord Ottar, a man who clashed with the Zeus and Hera Familia! and Cirrus! The White Beast! The rising star of the new generation of adventures! "
"We know that for this to happen so quickly… I’m a bit at a loss for words." Fels said.
"I can say the sa. I thought we would like to fight in the woods or sothing and then be on our way, but now... geez, it got out of hand fast."
"For now, Astraea and Artemis are assisting
in keeping the dungeon in check." Ouranos said.
"More precisely, I’m simply using his observation and fine-tuning it!" Astraea said. "So we can watch you fight using this orb Fels made!"
"But it is an odd feeling to use Arcanum after so long," Artemis said.
‘So… this is how it feels to be a child at a sports ga where their parents co to watch. Proud, excited, and so anxiety? Seems about right.’
Cirrus made a big smile as he walked faster.
"We're coming up on the 17th floor, Cirrus. I’ll be flying around to find a good viewing spot!"
"Hm, alright."
Nox, in a brilliant light, turned into an owl and took the crystal with her, flying on ahead.
"Guess it's show ti. "(Exousía, Adorn: Ceryneian)."
When reaching the 18th floor, he could see a structure reminiscent of the coliseum, if they made it of wood.
Cirrus, seeing the large structure, went to a nearby hill to see the floor more fully. When he did, the number of adventures gathered astounded him. It was like a sporting event, with several venues open.
While looking down, he spotted Artemis and Astraea’s Familia together. He sees the Susanoo Familia with their god, enjoying the occasion.
"So many people… Hey Nox, I’m going to drop so stuff off at the base. "
‘Got it! Hey, can you see ? I can see you! ’
Cirrus turned, and he could barely make out a white figure way out in the distance.
"Uhh… probably?"
Cirrus took off to the south of the floor where all the crystals were, and he found the base that was long ago made but with smoke coming out.
"?"
Cirrus quietly approached his second ho and listened for any voices.
"Euphe, get up! You wanted
to co, so get up!"
"Hmmm… 5 more minutes…"
"Haaa… Tsubaki, could you wake her up? "
"Hm? Sorry, I was just working on this house! "
'Ah, fuck.’
Cirrus knew who it was.
He opened the door to find Hephaestus and her captain, Tsubaki.
When Cirrus told Euphe that he was Zephyr and even showed her the armor, he asked Hephaestus if she could give her so protection, and that protection was her captain Tsubaki.
Tsubaki herself only really cared about smithing and improving her craft, but like any person who has a craft, they needed money, and to her surprise, Euphe was single-handedly the 2nd biggest bringer of the lower-level familia mbers. The major reason is that her custor (Cirrus) is essentially funding her work out of pocket.
"… Mind telling
why you’re in my secret base?"
"Oh? White Beast! Euphe told us about this base you made when you were exploring the dungeon!" said Tsubaki.
"We are sorry for intruding, but these two dragged
here yesterday, but there were no rooms left to get."
"Yeah, then Euphe ntioned this place, so we found it and stayed here for your fight!"
"… Fine. Do as you like. "
Cirrus goes upstairs and puts so of his stuff in his trunk.
'I still don’t get why you have stuff out in the world when you can simply store it in our shadow.’ said Nox.
"Because I enjoy having cache spots, plus I feel more comfortable having a filled ho."
Cirrus then walked over to Euphe, who was sleeping, and pulled her out of bed.
Thud!
"Hmm… who did that?" She said in a monotone and groggy voice, not noticing she was on the ground.
