Doing the same thing for a long time, no matter how interesting, will eventually become boring.
The same goes for conquering the Dungeon and fighting.
Although the targets of slaughter were monsters spawned by the Dungeon that posed a threat to humans.
However, Takatsuki and Mei were, after all, young men and women born in peaceful societies. In terms of psychology, prolonged exposure to bloody combat could easily lead to psychological problems.
Takatsuki wasn't too worried about Kiana, Fu Hua, and Bronya's situations.
The former two had, after all, frequently fought Honkai Beasts and were long accustomed to such battlefields, while the latter was even more extreme.
If Kiana and Fu Hua's enemies were inherently enemies of humanity, and racial warfare was justifiable, then Bronya's was simply slaughter.
Bronya had been born as an assassin at a very young age, and countless people had already died by her hands.
Takatsuki was surprised that Bronya didn't suffer from battlefield PTSD because of this, and could only attribute it to her unique nature.
All in all.
After the Ishtar Familia incident, Takatsuki decided to temporarily halt their expedition arrangements and focus on magic learning and training, while also allowing for some relaxation like shopping.
The continuous month-long training had left Takatsuki somewhat exhausted. After this period of rest, he felt that he could no longer engage in such high-intensity combat, and should at least take two days off each week.
Although self-discipline is a good thing, most people cannot stick to it.
For example, Kiana had long given up on morning exercises, because she preferred to sleep in rather than participate in morning exercises with everyone else.
Bronya also only maintained the most basic morning exercise intensity to warm up her body.
Mei had to prepare breakfast.
Bell also had to rush early to meet up with Welf and the others, and the newly joined Haruhime acted together with Bell.
As a result, only Takatsuki, Fu Hua, and Ais—who came whenever she wasn't on a mission—were still persisting with high-intensity morning exercises.
In fact, Takatsuki also wanted to sleep in.
But even if he hadn't promised Fu Hua to practice Edge of Taixuan diligently, even if Takatsuki wanted to be lazy, Fu Hua would shatter his door with a One-Inch Punch and drag him out.
During this time, Takatsuki took the materials they had harvested over the past month to sell, converted them into money, and then exchanged that for the supplies they needed.
As for armor, reality is not like a game where low-level characters cannot equip high-level armor; from the beginning, their armors were high-grade items crafted from deep-level materials.
And weapons were provided by Takatsuki himself; not to mention his ability to project temporary weapons, the weapons drawn from the System alone were enough to supply them, let alone Kiana and Fu Hua, who each had magical tools that would never wear out.
As a result, Takatsuki and his team had no intention of hoarding money; apart from keeping a few million in funds for daily expenses, Takatsuki converted everything else into potions and grimoires, emptying the entire stock of high-grade potions in Miach's Azure Pharmacy in one go.
Furthermore, he left a large sum as a prepayment, contracting all subsequent high-grade potions, which instantly cleared Miach Familia's accumulated debts and made them prosperous.
This even made Naaza, who was originally always expressionless and whom Takatsuki occasionally felt wanted to trick him, show some smiles when she saw the people of the Hestia Familia.
As for the purchase of grimoires, the remaining money was used to buy a total of thirteen grimoires, purchasing all the grimoires from that merchant. The black market merchant never expected anyone to be so crazy, buying nearly twenty books within just two months.
However, the results from these thirteen grimoires were far worse than the initial ones.
Only Haruhime awakened a new magic, Chain Magic · Ninefold, when she read the first one, allowing her Uchide no Kozuchi to affect multiple people simultaneously, up to nine.
Mei awakened a healing magic but gained nothing else.
That's right, Kiana still hadn't awakened magic, but Takatsuki couldn't do anything about that.
After all, it was a matter of talent.
Thus, the Hestia Familia spent another month in peace.
It's worth mentioning that a major event occurred during this month: the invasion of the Rakia Kingdom.
However, Orario didn't even deploy too many people; merely sending out the Loki Familia was enough to send the Rakia Kingdom retreating in defeat.
Takatsuki remembered that originally, Hestia was captured by the War God Ares because she went outside the city, causing some other incidents.
However, until the end of the war, this incident did not happen, as it was originally a coincidental event, and its disappearance due to their butterfly effect was quite normal.
After the Rakia Kingdom retreated, Orario returned to its original rhythm.
Takatsuki and his team also reduced the frequency of their deep-level explorations, going only three times a week, with everyone else arranging their time freely.
Fu Hua spent most of her time cooped up in the library, learning about the knowledge of this world; with her photographic memory, her learning efficiency was incredibly fast.
After Bronya obtained the method to charge Project Bunny with magic, she finally researched a way to charge electronic devices after a long period of study.
Although she couldn't connect to the internet, she still asked Takatsuki for his phone and used it to play single-player games.
Bronya, who hadn't played games for a long time, had been cooped up at home during this period, as if to make up for lost time.
Mei and Haruhime got along quite well. Haruhime was eager to serve Bell and do some housework for him, but she was originally a pampered young lady and didn't need to do housework after she ended up in Ishtar Familia.
Her housekeeping skills were a mess, so she went to Mei, who handled housework very well, to learn some experience.
Mei did not refuse and quickly accepted this new companion.
As for Kiana…
She was out messing around all day.
She was already very curious about the rich races in this world, and after meeting many cute girls in Orario, she suddenly became very interested in the Elf race.
The Kaslana Family genes in her seemed to have suddenly erupted.
Whenever she had free time, she would run off to play with Lefiya and the newly met Filvis, or go adventuring in the Dungeon together.
After all, their levels appeared similar on the surface, which was quite normal.
The adventures during this period allowed the adventurers of the big three to raise their levels again, reaching LV3. However, because it wasn't yet time for the tri-monthly Denatus, the three leveled up again without yet receiving titles.
Then, more than a month after the Ishtar Familia incident ended, another accident occurred.
