Not long after registration was completed, Ran and the others entered the Guild. They saw that Hancock and her sister had arrived and then bowed to Hancock.
"Hey, you guys are back. How was your first quest?" (Arata)
"You could say it was quite smooth, we took the quest to defeat monsters to get the drop items" (Ran)
"What kind of monster?" (Hancock)
"Horned Rabbit, a monster rabbit that has horns on its head" (Marguerite)
Ran as a representative reports the success of the Quest to Arata, while the others report to Hancock.
"Arata-san, Quest succeeded. We want to collect our reward" (Ran)
"Okay, wait a moment" Arata checked that the Quest had indeed been completed and took their rewards.
"The wages are 3 bronze coins, please take them. Exp will go straight to your status" (Arata)
Arata handed 3 bronze coins to Ran, but Ran asked Arata to exchange them for iron coins which Arata complied with.
Ran then divided equally among Marguerite and the rest of the party 60 iron coins. Then Ran and the others immediately checked their status to see the incoming Exp.

"By the way, how many rabbits did you guys beat?" (Arata)
"We managed to defeat 20 rabbits, of which 17 were level 1 and 3 were level 2" (Marguerite)
"That's quite a lot. Also, I'm pretty sure that there are other drop items that haven't been sold" (Arata)
( All drop items are saved by Ran )
"Right, what is this thing for?" (Marguerite)
"Is it for sale?" ( Ran )
"Try asking your client, who knows if he will tell you" (Arata)
"Okay, we'll ask him later" (Ran)
Hancock, who heard the conversation between her subordinates and Arata, became even more curious about the Dungeon.
Hancock had heard the report, then she heard this. Hancock's curiosity had reached its maximum.
She wanted to explore the Dungeon as quickly as possible. Since Hancock was already an Adventurer she was actually able to directly enter the Dungeon.
But she didn't know what kind of Dungeon it was inside. So Hancock waited for her subordinates to finish their conversation with Arata.
Seeing Hancock, Arata already knew what that woman was thinking. Not waiting long, Arata ended his conversation with Ran and the others.
"It's already evening and the sun will soon set, do you guys want to take another quest?" (Arata)
"Perhaps we'll end it for today. We don't want to fight monsters at night" (Ran)
"That's right, earlier we got injured when fighting monsters of the same level. Especially at night, where the monsters are stronger" ( Marguerite )
"Just end it for today" (Sweet Pea)
""We want to rest"" ( Aphelandra & Daisy )
"Wise decision. Actually you can take the Quest again but take one that isn't defeating monsters. There are other types of Quests right? And I see Hancock also wants to get into the Dungeon as soon as possible" (Arata)
Everyone looked at Hancock, and Hancock whose intentions were known were now being looked at by countless people. Immediately Hancock denied Arata's statement.
"Hmph, who wants to go in there!" (Hancock)
"Then you don't need to enter, I also don't lose anything if you don't want to enter" Arata said with a smirk.
Hearing this Hancock and the Kuja Pirates panicked. Soon they explained that Hancock was joking and not being serious. Hancock herself was stunned and didn't say anything.
Then Hancock wanted to open her mouth and say that she wasn't serious and was just joking. But her pride as Amazon Lily Empress held her back.
"Hahaha, sorry. I'm just kidding, Hancock can enter the Dungeon" ( Arata )
Because Arata saw Hancock's panicked expression, he immediately explained that he was just joking while laughing.
"...Hmph, of course you have to let me into the Dungeon. You should be the one thanking me for coming here, because of what? Because I'm beautiful" (Hancock)
The Kuja Pirates who heard about it panicked again, fearing that Arata was serious about not allowing Hancock to enter the Dungeon.
Hancock was no exception, she also panicked and regretted the words she said, afraid that Arata would forbid her from entering the Dungeon. But Arata's reply was different from what he had imagined.
"Yes Yes, you are beautiful. And I thank you for agreeing to enter this simple Dungeon, maybe I will fall in love with you because of your hospitality" Arata said jokingly, but the three women beside him didn't think so and glared at him with a terrible aura.
Hearing Arata's response made them heave a sigh of relief. Immediately told Hancock not to be arrogant.
"...Hmph, you shouldn't joke around with this Empress" (Hancock)
"Hahaha, sorry. Seeing you like that makes you look cute" Arata said while feeling the sharp stares from the 3 women beside him who were ignored by him.
"C-c-cute?" Hancock said with a stutter. She had heard a lot of other people's praise of her but behind the compliments it contained a lot of bad intentions for her.
But the man in front of her was not like that, Hancock felt that Arata was honest and only praised her beauty without any malicious intent.
"You can freely explore the Dungeon as you like as long as you don't make trouble for the people there. If you work hard I'm sure what you want will come true" (Arata)
"...Thank you" (Hancock)
"You're welcome. You can enter the dungeon now, but don't fight monsters at night. Just take another quest" ( Arata )
"Alright, we will go in. You guys, please guide us" (Hancock)
Ran and the other Kuja Pirates nodded then left after thanking Arata. Hancock's two sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold also thanked them before following Hancock.
=====
After walking for a while Hancock arrived in front of the Entrance Portal. After standing for a while in front of the Portal, Hancock worked up the courage to step inside.
She felt the sensation of being pierced through a thin membrane, Sandersonia and Marigold as well as the other members who had not entered the Dungeon felt it as well.
After successfully passing through the Portal, Hancock and the others were shocked by the sight of the City they saw.
Then asked Ran and others to explain the various things that exist in this city. After it was finished, Hancock was interested in doing a Quest.
