Chereads / The Ancient Shield Warrior / Chapter 31 - Guild Contract

Chapter 31 - Guild Contract

We were on our way to the registration session. We noticed three other female employees wearing identical attire. They were standing inside some glass rooms with a small half circle at the center bottom. There's the same long table in the middle that holds those glasses. The glass did not reach the ceiling, but it was high enough that no one could conceivably climb over there. There is a ceiling on top of the glasses at the end. It is utilized to muffle the noise of the crowd outside.

They were all standing up, and two of them were conversing with each other through the glasses that separated them. As we approached the staff, one of them became aware that we were approaching them. She wears the same clothes and has blonde long ponytail hair. She wears earrings in both of her ears.

"Good evening young lady and young man... I'm Omogami Marinako, how may I help you?" As the employees said it to us, she smiled.

We came to a halt in front of her, directly in front of the table. The sound comes from a little speaker in front of the glasses that are facing us. The voice came through a microphone that the staff was wearing. The mic was linked to her ears and had no wire, but the sound it produced was clear and gentle.

Myra: "We were told to go there as we are still new here..."

Marinako: "I understand, so before getting access into the dungeon, therefore a contract you should be filled up and signed as each individual." *As the employees take two different types of paper and load them with a slew of words. One of them appears to be a little bit empty in the middle with parts of the words on the left side, while the other is a load of words with an empty spot for signature at the right bottom.

Marinako: "At the left, it was personal information that needs to be filled." *As she pointed and touch one of those papers with her right index finger.

Marinako: "And the right side, it was a contract agreement that each of you needs to sign right at the bottom here." *She moved her index finger, contacting the other piece of paper, then moving it again and pointing to the signature location.

Myra was glancing through the paper with us. Except for Ayla, who can't reach the table's height, we were all focused on the paper.

Yugo: "This one is almost like a system of personal information."

Aria: "You right..."

Myra: "There's no useless information like personality."

Ayla: "Can... I... See it?" As she tries to jump and try to look through the paper.

Marinako: "Here, there is enough for all of you..." The employees suddenly give the same paper that is enough for all of us.

I give two of the paper to Ayla so she can see it.

Myra: "How much did we pay for registration?" *As she looks at the employees.

Marinako: "The registration is completely free. You just need to fill up the data and sign the contract. And you will be ready to go." *As she smiled at Myra.

Aria: "What is the point for us to fill up this one?" *She pointed out one of the words on the personal information paper and showed it to the employees.

Marinako: "Is it the bank card number? It will be used to deposit your currency after exchanging the item into real currency." *She smiled.

Huh? Bank number? *As I check my pocket.

... I did not bring the card with me... *Dying expression.

What should I do with this? *As looking at the form paper.

System: "I can help you with that."

Really? Thanks, a lot.

System: "By telling you to go back and pick the card."

That's not helpful at all...

Aria: "What Item did we exchange?"

Marinako: "It's an item that can be dropped when you defeated the monster. Each monster has its own item drop depending on how big the monster level is."

Marinako: "You will face a higher level the deeper you go down to the dungeon."

Aria: "Going down?"

Marinako: "Yes... If you see there's an elevator right there..." She raises her left hand to the left, palm facing to the side.

Marinako: "This tower has an employee that works all of the items worth and sends all your worth money to your bank."

Marinako: "But if you go down, the elevator will send you into the underworld where this tower and the monster territory are connected and can be found there."

Yugo: "It's connected? How? Isn't also dangerous if the monster can get through here?"

Marinako: "The monster will not be able to enter the city, it's because there's called a safe zone. The safe zone is where you can rest before or after exploring the dungeon. There's also a free healer that can help you in there."

Marinako: "The monster does not go there since the safe zone has invisible magic that the monster won't be able to detect any of the people inside. So there's nothing to worry about it."

Marinako: "The way this tower connected into the underworld is nothing special, it's just sending you into a deeper level of the ground that nobody ever reached by just digging."

Yugo: "Ah... I see..."

What? Is it true that the bottom of this world is monster territory?

System: "Yes... It's true... The more you go deeper, the strongest monster you will encounter. The strongest monster is the deeper one where there's a core of the world with a lava pool on it."

Hooo... So it's like we were going to hell the deeper we go...

Ayla: "Here master, I already fill up the paper." *As she raises her hand and hands the paper to me.

Yugo: "Eh? Ahh... Okay." *As I grab her paper and put it on the table.

I should fill out the form too quickly. *As I look at the paper and take one of the pens on the table near me.

There's a name, nickname, rank, card number, and class. Hmmm... Nothing much in here.
