Following the Xenos incident during which monsters had come out of the Dungeon rampaging around the Labyrinth city of Orario, Bell Cranel ranked up to Level 4 and was granted his second alias. The Hestia Familia was now considered one of the top Familias in Orario, despite the exiguous number of adventurers, and were given a mission from the Guild: go on an expedition to the 27th Floor. A faction union was formed, comprised of members from the Hestia, Takemikazuchi and Miach Familia, with the participation of Aisha Belka as well. Some were busy with preparations, some were trying to find their inner fighting spirit, while others like Sanjouno Haruhime and Yamato Mikoto were... Out shopping?

Mikoto: "Haruhime-dono, look! They're selling these potatoes at half price!"

Haruhime: "Mikoto-chan, how are we even going to carry all these groceries?"
