Once they were inside the dungeon, Shalltear stood by Lili as she carved out the magic stones from the monster corpses while Bell handled the monsters on his own.

The silver-haired girl did not lift a finger to fight any of the monsters even once as they traveled through the Dungeon and eventually hit the Seventh Floor.

"Umm… Miss Fiora, are you not going to help mister Bell?" Lili asked, looking up at her.

“Why would I~?” She asked. “He’s doing fine on his own, and I’d rather not dirty my hands for no reason, you see~.”

“Ah. Makes sense?” Lili responded, unsure if Shalltear’s reasoning was good at all.

After Bell finished taking care of a group of giant ants, he laid down saying he needed to take a break and eat something. It’s has already been a few hours since they entered the dungeon. Lili took out the lunch boxes.

“Won’t you eat anything, miss Fiora?” Lili asked, seeing the silver-haired girl leaning on a dungeon wall with her arms crossed.

“I don’t need to~.”

“Of course, you do miss! Neglecting your stomach is a dangerous thing to do in the dungeon. I you wish, I can share some of my food with you-”

“I said I didn't need it~.” Shalltear said furiously, unintentionally leaking small amounts of her aura.

“But-”

Bell raised his hands frantically. “It’s alright Lili. Miss Fiora doesn’t want to eat. You won’t convince her otherwise... Unfortunately.”

Defeated, Lili took a glance at Shalltear whom simply ignored her, before going back to her sandwich. “I guess it’s up to the mistress in the end… No wonder her skin is so pale…” She muttered that last part.

Munching on his sandwich, Bell turned to Lili to change the topic of conversation. “You said that you could help us find these blue papillon wings… Could you tell us what they are, exactly?”

The little girl was surprised of being addressed in such a mindful manner. “O-Of course, Lili can!”

“Then stop doing whatever you were just doing and tell us~.” Shalltear interjected impatiently, still leaning on a wall distant to the others.

The confusion between friendly Bell and cold Shalltear put a lot of unnecessary pressure on Lili. “Ehm… T-The item blue papillon wings come from blue papillons. It's a butterfly monster said to appear on the lower seventh floor.” She took a breath before continuing, much more relaxed.“Its light blue wings are so thin that light can pass through them and tiny scales fall off of them as it flies, leaving a beautiful sparkling trail in its wake. They are extremely hard to find, but I've heard they’re so beautiful that even the most hardened adventurers will stop to admire them.” She said, her anxiousness suddenly replaced with eyes brimming with wonder.

“So, you haven’t seen any? Sounds like they’re very charming. I want to see them too.” Bell said, a bit excited by her description of the blue papillons.

“Yes… They are indeed one of the dungeon’s beauties. The sparkling trail from their wings is said to heal the bodies of adventurers.”

“Ah, no wonder Naaza wanted us to collect their wings.” Bell said, looking pensive.

Lili looked sadly to the ground. “… It is unfortunate that they are in an area of the seventh floor where only those who lost themselves would go to. As a supporter, Lili has never really gone to places she wishes to see.”

Bell stood up and patted Lili on the back, making her jump in surprise. “Luckily, you’ll get to see them today. That’s great, isn’t it?”

Lili’s lips curled upwards. It was a genuine smile. “Yes, Lili is glad that she gets to see them with her own eyes.”

They shared a laugh and discussed about more wonders of the dungeon as Lili knew a lot about them. While they were finishing eating, a certain somebody cut the moment short.

“Ahem~. Enemies are coming in groups~.” Shalltear informed them calmly.

Bell put on a more grim expression. “Right.” And he then recovered his spear.

Steps grew louder and louder accompanied with the clinging of metal. Then, what emerged from the corridor were…

“Adventurers?” Bell and Lili spoke out incredulously.

They didn’t lower their guard. There still was something off-putting about them. The adventurers were stumbling and staggering towards the group. Their skin was snow white and their crazy, diseased crimson glowing eyes paralyzed Bell and Lili with fear.

A putrid smell filled the corridor. One Shalltear was familiar to.

“No. Those are not adventurers, but monsters.” Shalltear affirmed, baffled. As undead, she could recognize other undead. Those were zombies, but… Why were they wearing armor and weapons?

“A-Are you sure, miss Fiora? T-They l-look like a-adventurers to m-me.” Bell shivered as the zombies slowly staggered their way.

‘Did my blood frenzy contaminate the victim’s bodies?’ Shalltear wondered. As far as she knew, zombies did not exist in this world. Having victims rise up unintentionally may not be too uncommon, but once they were, a plague would start. They seemed to have no significant injuries whatsoever. However, one of these adventurers must’ve got bitten by a zombie and then turned on their teammates.

‘I wonder how many adventurers got infected by the plague...’ She glanced at Bell, who stood in front of Lili with his spear out. Even in the most frightening situation, he acted like a hero. However, a swarm of zombies may be troublesome for him… She also didn’t wish to waste magic on restoring him.

“Move aside~.” The vampire ordered the two. She’ll get rid of them for now as they still needed to fetch these insects’ wings. She extended her arm towards the swarm, “[Brilliant Radiance]!”.

A beam of holy light came out from Shalltear’s palm and encircled the zombies. In an instant, they disintegrated from the beam’s overwhelming purifying strength.

Both Bell and Lili were shocked by this show of power.

“A-Amazing” Bell exclaimed, wiping the sweat on his forehead.

“That was… indeed quite impressive… I see why miss Fiora doesn’t feel the need to fight.” Lili concluded, steadily getting back on her feet. “Even so… What was that? They looked just like adventurers.”

“No idea~.” Shalltear lied, covering her mouth as she yawned. “Anyways~! Let’s not forget why we came down here, okay~?”
