Orario~
Silver stayed afloat into the sky, watching Bell flits with girls on the streets.
For some reasons unknown, the girls blushed as Bell flirted with them. Silver watched with a stumped look on his face.
'Maybe I should keep watching and learn a bit?' he thought.
'No no no. This ain't good, he lost his way and why am I thinking about learning? What do I have to learn?' continued Silver.
[ Quest found! The corrupted Soul!

'Oya? The description this time is a bit longer than usual, and what do you mean by an egg as a reward system!?'
[ Answering to host… An egg is an egg host. Host can also choose whether it is a raw or cooked one ]
'…'
'Oh well. Now then how should I do this? Hmm… I'll just watch him for now and decide later' thought Silver.
Silver then continued floating on the sky, watching Bell flirt while using his sense to look for the 'Problem Group'. To his dismay, he couldn't find them anywhere.
Remembering something he then thought, 'Right! They might have entered the dungeon. But how come I can't pry inside it using my sense/Haki?'
Not minding it anymore, Silver then continued watching Bell. As he watches, he keeps muttering, "Oh! Great move! So that's also possible. Hmm, good good" as he kept nodding his head in admiration.
Silver then learned a thing or two from watching Bell.

Earlier…
When the 'Problem Group' heard that they are free to go and do what they want. All of them had only one thought in mind, that is to go and explore the dungeon.
Dragging the Goddess along with them along with Ella, they all went and looked for Hephaestus. With Goddess sense, they easily found her.
With a wave of her hand, a portal appeared. Everyone entered it and appeared in a room that's lightened up by only a fire.
*Clang*
Is the sound the group heard when they appeared inside the room. Looking where the sound came from, the saw Hephaestus with a hammer in hand and again hit the steel once again as a clang sound resounded throughout the room.
Immersed on her forging, she did not notice the 'Problem Group's' arrival.
Not making a sound, the group continued watching Hephaestus forge.
Not long after, Hephaestus finished forging, raising the finished product that looked like an axe with a dark color, Hephaestus nodded. Turning her back for she wanted to go and let the finished product rest for a bit before doing any other things into it, what she saw startled her.
With her eyes widened from being startled, she asked. "What are you guys doing here? When did you come?" as she looked the 'Problem Group' sitting on the floor, eating.
"We've been here for maybe an hour ago?" answered Nyx.
"How? I didn't notice your arrival" asked Hephaestus.
"We didn't want to disturb your forging because you looked immersed in forging so I made a barrier preventing us from disturbing you" said the Goddess.
"I see. So, can you tell me why are you here?" asked Hephaestus.
"We came to pick you up. We are going into the dungeon" said Rose.
"Dungeon? But us Gods/Goddess shouldn't enter the dungeon, isn't it forbidden?" asked Hephaestus.
"Don't worry about that. I am the one who made the dungeons, so I can do whatever I want with it" said the Goddess.
"Dungeons? Isn't there only one?" asked Hephaestus.
"Onee-chan, there are still two dungeons at the Empire" said Shirone.
"Empire?" once again asked Hephaestus.
Sure, they told her about the empire before but not the dungeons.
"Yes, there're two dungeons at Onii-chan's empire" said Shirone.
Hephaestus looked at the group, seemingly knowing what she wanted to ask. They nodded, confirming what Shirone is true.
"I don't really know about you guys," said Hephaestus with a sigh.
"Onee-chan. Can I ask you a question?" asked Shirone.
"Yes. what is it, Shirone?" said Hephaestus.
"I noticed this before but forgot to ask. It's about that thing covering your eyes and a part of your face. Why do you have that?" curiously and boldly asked Shirone.
"Shirone! Some things aren't meant to be ask!" said Kuroka when she saw the grim expression on Hephaestus face when Shirone asked her question.
"But, I really want to know" said Shirone.
"You-" said Kuroka but got cut off by Hephaestus.
"It is all right. I can show you because I trust you, but please, tell no one about this" said Hephaestus as she put down the axe and slowly removed the eyepatch covering her eye and a part of her face with slightly trembling hands.
As the eyepatch got remove, Shirone gasp along with Hancock, Mira, Albert, Aria, and Erza while the others remained unfaced and just looked at Hephaestus.
"This… What happened onee-chan? Who did this to you! Tell us, we will kill the one who did this to you!" angrily said Shirone while clenching her fist.
What greeted everyone's sight when Hephaestus removed the eyepatch was a scarred face. It looked like a burned flesh with scars all over it, underneath her eyes there is a line of scar that seemed to have gotten cut by something. There are no eyelashes, only the crimson eye the seems to look like wanting to get out of its socket.
"It's all right. This is from a long time ago" said Hephaestus as she put back the eyepatch and covered her scarred face and eye.
"Let Silver heal it later" said the Goddess in a calm tone.
"Right Right! Onii-chan can heal it" said Shirone.
"Daisy, can't you heal it?" asked Rose.
"I can, but I can't" said Goddess Daisy as she shook her head.
"What do you mean?" asked Semiramis.
"I cannot tell you. Let Silver heal it later." said the Goddess.
Seeing that the Goddess wouldn't tell them, everyone didn't ask anything further because if she said she cannot, then she can't.
Goddess Daisy could have healed it like nothing but she cannot for this is one of the restrictions her father gave before she left the 'Supreme Realm'.
"Ney, give me this axe, I want it" said Rose as she quickly took hold of the axe handle and swung it a few times before laughing. "This axe fit me to a T" she added.
Sure is. The 'Problem Group' leader with Axe in hand really fits you!
"This…" Hephaestus hesitated but then said, "Okay, This will be my gift to you. I will make something for the others later" agreeing and even wanting to make a weapon for the others later.
How big hearted she is!
"Thanks!" said Rose.
"Your Welcome," said Hephaestus as she finally smiled.
"Now then, let's go to the dungeon" said Goddess Daisy.
"Am I really coming?" asked Hephaestus.
"Of course! We came here to pick you up so you can't disagree and you're already one of us!" said Rose.
Hephaestus said no more and just nodded. Goddess Daisy then wave her hand and a portal appeared.
The group entered it, disappearing from Hephaestus workshop and reappeared in front of the dungeon's entrance.
As they appeared, some adventurers who are going in or out from the dungeon seeing the group suddenly appear out from a portal all gulped when they saw such heavenly and celestial beauties appeared.
Not minding the crowd, Rose entered the dungeon followed by the others, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Some with lustful thoughts on their minds, followed the group, even those who just exited the dungeon re-entered and followed the group inside.
As they entered the dungeon, the crowd couldn't help but frown because the group had disappeared without a trace!
Running and searching inside the dungeon and not finding them, the place became chaotic!
-----------------—
Hours Later…
Silver still floated up in the sky. Watching Bell.
Nodding his head in admiration, Silver said.
"Not bad, I've learned a lot. Seems like I need to polish my pick up lines"
Completely forgetting about the quest…
