In the end, Alice and Gojouya Kaguya couldn't avoid the task of retrieving the items from the water. Fortunately, as spirits, even if their clothes got soaked, they could simply use magic to dry them, avoiding any embarrassing scenes in front of Levi.
When a floor boss is defeated, it almost always drops items. Sometimes they're ordinary, other times they're rare.
Thanks to his development ability 'Luck,' Levi received a dragon liver and a dragon scale after defeating the two-headed dragon.
In the anime from his past life, Bell's good friend Welf Crozzo once forged an indestructible magic sword using the dragon liver of a two-headed dragon. Given the team's dire situation at the time, it was understandable.
But in reality, the dragon liver, with a surface purchase price of over 35 million valis, would typically be alloyed with cheaper materials by blacksmiths to mass-produce dozens of low or mid-tier magic swords.
The same goes for dragon scales. A single scale could produce over a dozen sets of heavy armor.
It's not that this method maximizes the potential of the drop items; it's just that... there are only so many adventurers who can afford top-tier equipment. And they're not always flush with cash.
Take the unlucky members of the Loki Familia, for example. Every expedition results in significant weapon damage, sometimes even breaking second-tier weapons. Despite being second or even first-tier adventurers, they might not have even a few million valis at their disposal.
Of course, whether others can afford equipment doesn't concern Levi much. After clearing the 27th floor's two-headed dragon, he didn't linger in the labyrinth. In just 19 hours, he returned to the surface with Alice and Gojouya Kaguya.
At this time, Orario was in the early evening. Many adventurers, having finished their day's 'work,' were emerging from the dungeon entrance. Levi and his companions blended into the crowd, their identities concealed by hooded masks, unrecognizable to all but the most familiar.
Half an hour later.
"We're here."

Levi stood before the dilapidated church doors, gesturing for the two women to enter.
"Welcome to the Hestia Familia's base."
Alice and Gojouya Kaguya exchanged glances, surprise evident on their faces. Though they had only ventured into the dungeon once with Levi, their encounter on the 27th floor gave them a clear understanding of his strength.
An adventurer capable of one-shotting a two-headed dragon might not have much valis, but they certainly wouldn't lack in terms of living conditions.
So why...
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Levi slowly realized. Just as he was about to explain, a series of barefoot steps echoed from within, growing louder. Then, the church doors were flung open.
"Levi—"
The black-haired, twin-tailed goddess, paying no mind to the presence of others, leaped out of the church and clung to her familia member like an octopus. She even gave him a hearty kiss: "Welcome home~"
Levi, supporting his goddess's legs to prevent her from slipping, smiled warmly, gently pressing his forehead against hers: "I'm back, Hestia."
Standing nearby, Alice and Gojouya Kaguya had heard Levi mention his lover was his familia's goddess while in the dungeon. But witnessing the scene firsthand, they couldn't help but make "（☆v☆）" expressions.
Alice nudged her friend with her elbow, excitement in her voice: "Levi and his goddess really are lovers~"
Though tales of gods and humans falling in love occasionally circulated in Orario, this was the first time the girls had witnessed it firsthand.
