The next day as Christie promised riding a horse-drawn carriage and now it had stopped right in front of a cave entrance of the dungeon.
The entrance stone cave into this dungeon has a large enough hole and has a height of about five meters.
The three of us got off the horse-drawn carriage and began to slip our combat gear and items such as posions, torches, drinking water, etc, food as well as other necessary items we needed to enter exploring this dungeon.
As usual I wore my black cloak before as well as the katana I put on my right waist.
Looking towards Latifa, she was already very ready to be holding her bow as well as a bag of arrows that she carried on her back.
On the other hand, Christie is ready to be willing also with her armor and great sword and is currently tying a horse rope in a tree.
"Kazura before we enter exploring the dungeon, we must first register with the guards who are there."
Christie was referring to a small wooden building not far from the right of the dungeon entrance.
"All right, I'll be there."
I walked towards the small building myself. I was right in front of the door and knocked twice and opened the door and walked in.
"Please come in."
When I went in there, it looked so simple inside, there were two bookshelves one and a half meters high that contained neatly arranged books, then some clumsily and there was one well-dressed man sitting at a simple desk and a lot of paper on his desk and he was bowing, moving his hands, write something on paper.
"Excuse me sir, I am an adventurer wanting to ask permission to enter the dungeon."
He stopped his hand that was writing. He left the paper aside and put a pen made of pigeon feathers on top of the ink bottle.
"Ohh a self-proclaimed adventurer. Please sit down."
While looking at me, he allowed a prick on an empty bench that was right in front of him.
I walked and sat in that chair.
"Then can I see your adventurer card."
"All right."
I took my adventurer card that was under my shirt and handed it over. He picked it up and started looking at my adventure card.
"Hmm.. mmm. Your name is Reizaki Kazura-san right?"
"That's right."
"Heee.. a name that is quite unique and foreign to hear yah."
I just threw a wry smile at his response responding about my name.
While holding my adventure card, he then looked to his left with a blank piece of paper and placed it right in front of him and dipped the bird feather he had placed on top of the ink bottle and dipped the lower end of the feather.
He wrote one by one the letters on my adventure card on that piece of paper. Then it appeared that he was expressing a surprised face when he saw my adventurer rank.
"Oya .. It turns out you are a B-level adventurer. You seem successful the young master already has quite a high rank."
He said so to me, blurting out a word of praise for my adventurer rank. I smiled a little, pleased with the compliment.
"Thank you sir."
After that the conversation was interrupted again and silence was reoccurring which was only the sound of a feather pen scratch on the paper that is being worked on at this time.
"Well, are you going to go exploring the dungeon alone or as a team?"
"I will enter with two of my men."
"Sheemme. hemme..."
He nodded slowly while continuing to write on the paper. I don't know what he's writing, but one thing I'm sure he's writing about me for these dungeon activity reports.
"It's done."
He handed me my adventurer card back, I picked it up politely and put it back in my pocket.
Sreek~
A soft scraping sound rang out as he opened a drawer of his desk, he put his hand in it, whatever he wanted to take.
A golden yellow token with a carved stripes and right in the middle there was a circle like a green marble shape dark enough to put it right on the table in front of me before closing the desk drawer's back.
"This is a licensing token to enter the dungeon and you will be charged three gold coins as tax entering this dungeon."
I just found out that there is a dungeon that must be entered by paying. But I don't know why I don't know, but all I can do to live here is obey what the rules are here.
I bribed my pocket of money and handed over three gold coins as payment for entry into the dungeon and took the three tolen that were on the table.
"Thank you."
Standing up from the chair I said that and walked away from there.
His words stopped me who had just walked a few steps, I turned back to look at him.
"This is a map of the dungeon's entrance."
He thrust out a rolled up dungeon map paper. Aki couldn't refuse what she gave me, because the map was a money thing important enough for me to know the path in this dungeon.
Akuoun took it and said, "Thank you."
"Well, sir."
I stuffed the dungeon map into a sling bag I was carrying and paced my way out of this building.
Arriving outside the building, I stood still for a moment, seen by me Latifa and Christie being inhabited by five men, from their clothes I can guess that they must be adventurers, too, their faces looked foreign to me.
But Latifa and Christie were swarmed, bending their faces in displeasure.
"Hey come on, pretty girls, what are you waiting for here, we better have some fun in there, hehehe."
A man heard me say that to Latifa and Christie with a disgusting laugh at me.
I continued my steps and walked closer to them.
"Sorry, make you wait a long time Latifa, Christie."
I greeted the two of them, but my greeting made the five men look at me as well.
"Kazura's."
Latifa and Christie mentioned my name, the look on their faces that had been bent were not happy and immediately turned to be happy with my presence.
Latifa and Christie walked through the five men walking closer to me.
But unlike Latifa and Christie, the five men showed a look of annoyance at my presence and looked at me sharply, but I ignored their sight.
"Fucking shit comes as a little bully!"
One of the men, who was small but tall, was wearing a head covering like a pirate, spit and complained bitterly before leaving us.
But I can confirm from the looks of them, they must be those bastards.
"Kazura you're old!"
The infirmity was first thrown by Christie to me.
I smiled awkwardly and scratched slowly at the back of my head.
"I'm sorry Christie, I didn't know that it would take so long to get into this dungeon."
"Hgp."
Christie wrapped her hands together while turning her head the other way and put on a sulking attitude.
The awkward laughter I showed back at Christie's attitude, then I looked towards Latifa.
"Ohh yeah Latifa, this is what I give you."
I gave one of the tokens I held to him. It seemed that he did not understand this, he tilted his head but he took out one token that I had thrust at him.
"Token what's Kazura."
"Ahh that token is Latifa. It was a token of permission to enter into this dungeon. Since this dungeon is taken care of by the kingdom, we are obligated to pay the entrance tax inside there and that token is the entry permit."
"Ehhh so yeah."
"Ohh yes Latifa, Christie do you know the adventurer who just inhabited you?"
I asked them both questions.
"If I don't know Kazura." Latifa calmly answered my question.
"I don't know him either. Maybe they're from the next town."
"...hhh so."
Then I remembered.
"Christie here's your token."
I handed the roken to Christie. Christie took it from my hand.
"Alright then let's go exploring."
The three of us began to enter the dungeon.
