"So that's it, you've come to join my Familia. I didn't expect to be so famous!"
"That's great, Hestia! Now we have new companions."
After Takatsuki's explanation, Hestia immediately accepted the situation and became a bit carried away.
"I can't believe the Hestia Familia gained six members in one day. I'm so lucky."
"I just took Bell-kun to register at the Guild, but it's still early. Bell-kun, do you mind going again?"
"I'm fine, Hestia, I'm also happy to have more companions."
Seeing Hestia's joyful expression, the others didn't say much and followed Hestia to the Guild to complete the procedures.
"Bell-kun? Why are you back?"
Eina Tulle of the Guild had just finished processing an adventurer's request when she saw Bell Cranel, an adventurer she had recently met, walking back with Hestia.
"Of course, to complete the adventurer procedures!"
Hestia proudly stepped aside, revealing the four women and one man behind her.
"Hello, my name is Takatsuki, and these are my companions. We are all joining the Hestia Familia to become adventurers."
As the only one familiar with this place, Takatsuki naturally took the lead in speaking, while the others were still in a wait-and-see state and didn't interject randomly.
"Alright, please fill out the forms."
Saying that, Eina pushed over several forms. The information on them was very simple, basically just level, name, and affiliated Familia. Even if fake information was filled in for the name, it wouldn't matter much.
Takatsuki and the others quickly filled in the information and handed it over.
"Alright, Mr. Takatsuki Sen, Miss Raiden Mei, Miss Kiana Kaslana, Miss Bronya Zaychik, and Miss Fu Hua, correct? Your registration procedures are complete. Please keep your adventurer certificates safe. Do you require adventurer advisor services?"
"Advisor? Yes, please arrange one for all of us."
"Alright, if you don't mind, I will be your advisor. Bell-kun from the same Familia is also advised by me."
Takatsuki didn't mind and agreed to it. An adventurer advisor not only provides information and help, but adventurers also have to pay a certain amount of service fee to the Guild every month. However, the Guild is very humane; the fee is paid after the service, as adventurers only have money after adventuring.
"Then, do you need to apply for a loan for new adventurers? You can prepare some equipment as initial funds for your adventures."
Eina, having just become an advisor, responsibly offered sound advice to Takatsuki, but Takatsuki didn't need this help, which was very useful for ordinary newcomers.
"We don't need it. Rather, if I want to rent a house, can I look for you?"
Eina didn't react for a moment, but her professionalism quickly prompted a response: "Of course, we also provide such services."
"Good, thank you. We'll come back when we need it."
Hestia, who had been waiting idly by, immediately ran over when she saw the two finish talking: "How was it, everyone? Since you're all registered, let's go back and rest. Once you all have blessings, you can start adventuring!"
Takatsuki looked at the enthusiastic Hestia and interrupted, "Sorry, Hestia, although I don't want to dampen your spirits, that church doesn't look like it can accommodate seven people."
"Eh…"
Hestia's face stiffened. Indeed, the excitement of having new family members made her temporarily forget this point.
"So please wait for us here for a moment; it won't take long."
Takatsuki looked at Fu Hua: "Fu Hua, come with me."
Then he looked at the others: "Kiana, Mei, and Bronya, you three wait here with Hestia and chat with her. Fu Hua and I will be back soon."
Then Hestia watched Takatsuki and Fu Hua walk out of the Guild.
"Huh? No, what are they going to do?"
Hestia hadn't reacted yet when Takatsuki had already left, only realizing it belatedly.
"Hestia, let's wait here for a bit. Takatsuki and the others will be back soon."
Mei promptly spoke to reassure her: "And we also want to learn about Orario from Hestia. Can you tell us about it?"
"Emmm, in that case, there's nothing for it. Let's wait for them first. Let's sit over there and chat. Speaking of which, I still don't know where you all came from."
The remaining five sat together in the Guild hall's provided seats and chatted.
Meanwhile, Takatsuki and Fu Hua smoothly entered the Dungeon after showing their adventurer certificates.
"Is this the Dungeon? It doesn't look alive."
Fu Hua looked around; it just seemed like an ordinary cavern. Although Takatsuki had mentioned that the Dungeon was alive, she still found it hard to believe.
"You'll know later. Here, take this. Although it's not Valkyrie armor, this magic tool shouldn't be weaker than Valkyrie armor."
Takatsuki handed the newly drawn Balrog to Fu Hua. He wasn't particularly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and since Fu Hua was here, giving it to her would make good use of it and save money on buying weapons.
"There's no Honkai Energy in this world, so try not to use Honkai Energy techniques. Each use depletes it."
Fu Hua nodded upon hearing this, looking at the glowing orb in her hand, unsure how to use it.
"Oh, just absorb this into your body. It's a magic tool. Once absorbed, it can be directly materialized on your hands and feet. You'll figure out how to use it yourself; you just need to punch and kick."
Fu Hua nodded and tried pressing the glowing orb to her chest, and it instantly permeated her body.
There really was no reaction…
Takatsuki thought as he watched this scene, and then he saw gauntlets and greaves appear on Fu Hua's body.
"This power is indeed very strong."
Fu Hua tried clenching her fist and then made her judgment.
"It's good that you find it strong. Our goal today is to earn enough money for a hotel and dinner within an hour. The first few floors aren't suitable for our strength, and there isn't much money there. Our goal is to reach the tenth floor and beyond; going further down would take too much time."
Fu Hua nodded, indicating understanding. She also didn't want to stay in that dilapidated church, and Takatsuki had already mentioned this on the way, otherwise she wouldn't have followed him without asking any questions after he spoke.
Fu Hua watched Takatsuki extend his hand and press it on the floor.
"Dragon blast!"
