Morning Departure and City Exploration
As dawn broke, Takumi and Unohana left the inn, ready to explore the city. The streets were already bustling with activity, vendors setting up stalls, and townsfolk going about their daily routines.
Their first destination was the marketplace, a vibrant area filled with shops offering various goods. Takumi purchased essential adventuring gear: a sturdy leather backpack, a set of basic potions, a map of the surrounding regions, and a well-crafted dagger for self-defense.
Unohana, with her discerning eye, selected a few items to complement her abilities: a medical kit to aid in healing, a lightweight cloak for travel, and a finely made katana that suited her swordsmanship.
They also visited a tailor, where Takumi acquired practical clothing suitable for adventuring, and Unohana chose garments that combined functionality with elegance, reflecting her refined taste.

Guild Registration
With their preparations complete, they proceeded to the Adventurer's Guild. The receptionist greeted them warmly.
"Good day! How may I assist you?" she inquired.
"I'd like to register Unohana as an adventurer and as a member of my party," Takumi replied.
The receptionist nodded and began the registration process.
"Please fill out these forms. Note that all new adventurers start at Rank E. Advancement is based on completed quests and passing promotion tests."
Takumi and Unohana completed the necessary paperwork.
"Thank you. Here are your guild cards," the receptionist said, handing them the cards.
Takumi's card identified him as the party leader, with Unohana listed as his subordinate.
"Remember, as the party leader, you're responsible for your team's actions. Ensure you undertake quests suitable for your current rank."
Takumi acknowledged the guidance, and they left the guild, ready to embark on their first official quest together.

Accepting the Slime Hunting Quest
Returning to the quest board, Takumi selected a slime hunting quest.
"Let's start with this one," he suggested.
Unohana agreed, and they approached the receptionist to accept the quest.
"Slime hunting, is it? Remember to collect their cores as proof. The more you gather, the greater your reward," the receptionist advised.
Takumi nodded, and they officially accepted the quest.

Evening at the Inn
Noticing the encroaching dusk, Takumi decided to postpone the quest until morning.
"Let's rest for now and begin our hunt at dawn," he proposed.
"As you wish, Young Master," Unohana replied with a gentle smile.
They returned to the inn, enjoyed a hearty meal, and retired to their rooms, anticipating the adventures that awaited them.
