Chapter 137
” . . . The public order, doesn’t seem so good . . . . ”
“Yeah . It’s not that bad, but we can’t let our guard down . ”
This public order must be one of the result of the adventurers being forced to enter the dungeon .
After all, public order is something that worsen just by having fewer people around .
And also, that ruler guy is very likely responsible for this too .
“True, it feels like the mood was brighter in the royal capital!”
We head to the guild while talking .
It seems like you need a permit from the guild in order to enter the dungeon .
That’s what was written on a poster I saw nearby .
◇
“I-It’s big . . . ”
“Guess being a dungeon city isn’t just for show . . . ”
A few minutes later .
We arrived at a guild that was bigger than any guild in the royal capital .
However, there’s not a lot of people relative to its size .
The adventurers who usually hang around here have probably been sent to the dungeon by the ruler’s order .
“Excuse me . I’d like to procure a permit to enter the dungeon . ”
I immediately went to the nearby counter and told them our business .
And then, the guild receptionist frowned .
“Permit . . . Are you really sure? Will you not regret it?”
And she replied this .
The way she said it is as if the permit to enter the dungeon is a cursed item .
” . . . Is there any disadvantage in getting the permit? Or is it simply because it’s expensive?”
“It is expensive, but . . . Dungeon permit isn’t issued by the guild but by ruler-sama, so its holder is obliged to participate in special subjugation quest appointed by ruler-sama . ”
. . . I see .
The true coercion is through to the permit huh .
Avoiding it through rolling the dice is probably just to adjust the number of people .
“Is that subjugation quest dangerous?”
“Whether it’s dangerous or not . . . depends on the quest . You’re obliged to participate, however, it’s usually only once a month, and the mortality rate has been suppressed to a few percent thanks to the cooperation of high level adventurers . However, even a few percent is quite a lot of people, and when they’re still children . . . . ”
I see .
The mortality rate is low despite the party being a disorderly crowd huh .
. . . That said, even if that’s the case so far, there’s no guarantee that it will stay this safe .
Challenging a dungeon with a mess of a party while preventing anyone dying is a miracle in itself .
But well, we just need to protect ourselves, I guess I don’t have to worry too much about that part .
I have the permit to enter dungeons from the king, but it’s more convenient in many ways to move around without having someone troublesome watching over you .
“I don’t mind . . . . How about you three?”
I asked Ruli and the others while submitting my guild card .
I’ve had a hunch of their answers already, but I still need to ask .
“Me too, please!”
“If Mathi-kun is going, I’m going too!”
“Me too!”
The three gave their answer promptly and submitted their guild cards .
The receptionist stared in wonder when she saw 『Second Academy』 written on the cards .
“Hm? This card, Second Academy . . . That rumored . . . ”
Right after the guild receptionist muttered–the guild door flung open with a loud sound .
A guild staff member shouted out loud in fluster .
“Bad news! A giant monster breached during the special quest and left many victims! There’s too many injured people, we can’t handle them all!”
. . . It looks like the miracle didn’t last long .
“I’m sorry! We’ll talk about the permit later since we have an emergency!”
The guild staff began to move about in a hurry .
A correct response .
Acting fast can mean life in an emergency .
Postponing other less pressing businesses is an inviolable rule of it .
“We have an urgent quest! We’re recruiting as many people who can use healing magic as possible!”
Well, and this quest would appear of course .
“I can’t use healing magic . . . How about you Mathi-kun?”
“I can . And Ruli can too . ”
“M-me!? I have never used healing magic in my life before though . . . . ”
Ruli who got her name called had a look of puzzlement .
However, Ruli can use healing magic even without knowing healing magic .
“You can engrave this magic circle right?”
“I-I see . . . . You mean temporarily engraving it on magic stones right! I got it!”
I drew a magic circle on a paper I took out of Storage magic .
Having access to unfamiliar magic as long as you have magic stones is an advantage of augment magic .
Though well, its speed is inferior to normal magic and you need to build magic formation .
“Everyone who can use healing magic, please gather here!”
A guild staff member shouted just when we finished consulting .
However, there were only few who responded to her .
. . . Now then . What will happen now .
