CHAPTER 52: The Unanimous Vote

Everyone watched in delight as Elena's wound quickly disappeared, and the frown that once knitted her delicate eyebrows gradually faded. In a final touch, Daisuke gently lifted her head and administered a potion to fully restore her health.

[Small HP Recovery Potion]

[A potion brewed by combining Celestia Flowers and Vitaberries. Its restorative potency varies depending on the concentration grade.

Item Effect: Replenishes 450 health

DING!

[The quest «Save Elena» has been completed!]

[15,000 Experience Points have been acquired.]

[Affinity with Elena, Rexar, and Milo has increased by 70%.]

"Thank you," Milo said with a deep bow. "I can't even begin to imagine what might've happened if you hadn't been here."

Rexar turned his head to the side with a pout, a rebellious blush staining his cheeks. "...I owe you one."

Daisuke cringed. Is he secretly some kind of tsundere? "Does anyone else need a potion?" he inquired.

Milo shook his head. "I've already taken one."

"Same here," said another.

"I'm fine."

Lyanna added her voice. "And you?"

"I'm good," Daisuke reassured them. "I did leave my dagger by the Floor Guardian's corpse though, so I'll head back out for a moment."

"Good to see you're awake," Daisuke greeted. "How are you feeling?"

Elena fidgeted with her fingers shyly, her gaze struggling to meet his. "F-Fine... thanks to you."

"That's a relief," Daisuke replied. "You gave us a bit of a scare there."

"I'm sorry," she apologized. "I should've been more cautious."

"It's not your fault," Rexar interjected. "It's that rat bastard Osten; he doesn't have a shred of decency in him."

Everyone nodded in unison.

"In any case," Daisuke began, "it's all in the past now. Our immediate focus should be on understanding our situation and finding a way out."

"I can add some clarity to that," Lyanna offered calmly as she made her way to the center of the group with a stick in hand. "While you were away, I used my skill to map the immediate topography of the dungeon..."
