Perhaps she was never meant to be an adventurer.
She always held fantasies about the maze.
All these years, she kept wondering, if she became an adventurer, would she experience adventure after adventure like the heroes in storybooks, constantly pushing the limits of her talents.

Go fight!
Yes.
Even though she feared pain.
Even though she feared death.
Even though, for a moment, she felt regret.
But even if she lost the Holy Bone, she never gave up her dream.
...And Chloe, her senior.
Even though he was wicked, teasingly saying in the simulation, "If only Rephya, you were willing to bear children."
But he might not know.
