Sam and Erica waited their turn at the reception desk without exchanging a word.

There were still about ten people in line ahead of them, so it would be a while before they could tackle the dungeon.

(--Awww, this is so awkward...) (-If we could get inside the dungeon soon, it might be a little different, but we have a long way to go...)

As far as Sam could see, all the adventurers were carrying more than their fair share of luggage.

They will probably spend a few days in the dungeon.

(Come to think of it, how much time can we spend in the dungeon?)

Lise knows that we are headed for the dungeon, and I am sure that all the Countesses have heard about it.

However, she did not tell them how many days it would take to attack the dungeon.

Sam was also brought to the dungeon by Erika, so there are many uncertainties.

The item box contains a tent and other outdoor preparations.

He has enough food and water for about a week.

But Erica is a student.

Sam does not want her schoolwork to be neglected because of the dungeon attack.

(I don't even know how many days it will take to reach the lower levels. If I could have done more research beforehand, I could have made a schedule. ......)

Since we are here on the spur of the moment, it is understandable that we were not prepared for this.

Sam didn't put up much of a fight either, and I couldn't blame Erica since he was so enthusiastic when he heard that we were going to challenge the dungeon.

While Sam was thinking about this, three boys and a girl came into the guild.

They were nobles by the looks of them.

They were two boys and a girl, and did not look like adventurers.

The boy with short blonde hair carried a large pack, and the girl with blue hair in a ponytail carried a slender long sword at her waist.

A slightly plump boy, walking a step ahead of the two, takes one look at the adventurers and sniffs.

The three of them walk straight to the counter without standing in line.

(I guess they're not taking on the dungeon?)

As Sam watched the boys not standing in line, the three of them cut in at the front of the line.

"...... sorry, but please line up in order."

When the guild receptionist approached the boys with a troubled look on her face, the face of the boy at the front of the line was clearly distorted.

"What? You want Dolgana Lansgully, the eldest son of this Viscount Lansgully, to be treated like a filthy adventurer!"

"It's the rules, sir."

(Wow. Typical aristocratic aristocrat. And the receptionist looks so disgusted.)

When I see an arrogant nobleman, I think of my own family.

The mannerisms of the boy who called himself Dolgana reminded me of his half-brother Manion.

"Well. You have a lot of guts to shield me. I'll tell Papa and have you fired from the guild! Name your name!"

Sam struggled to keep from blowing up.

It was interesting to see that he was really a typical aristocrat fool, wielding the power of "daddy" here.

Above all, the boy who was making a smug face like "I've got the right line!" hit Sam so hard that he would have laughed out loud if he didn't hold his mouth.

It was not that he had never seen arrogant aristocrats before, but they were more like marquises or dukes, so it was funny to see a boy who was pompous in a viscount's house.

However, arrogant nobles tend to be those of lower ranks.

This is especially true for the nobles who have risen to the top.

A typical example is Sam's family, the Baronesses Reinbach.

(I don't think a nobleman of the rank of baron has the power to control the Adventurers' Guild, though.)

Here in the dungeon of the beginning, it seems that there is a cooperative relationship between the state and the Adventurers' Guild, but basically the Adventurers' Guild is an independent organization.

Therefore, the power of the nobles and the like is often not communicated to them.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as royal families and dukes, but basically, the Adventurers' Guild will not change its attitude just because you are a noble.

If we did, the value of the Adventurers' Guild would be lost.

Requests from nobles and cooperative relationships with nobles are common, but there is no way that the Adventurers' Guild would obey orders imposed from above without reason.

(It's interesting to watch, but it's going to be troublesome and time-consuming if someone doesn't stop this soon.)

The adventurers in line, not wanting to attract the attention of the aristocratic lads, simply watched, leaving the receptionist to deal with the situation.

Sam could understand why they didn't want to bother with a child who was obviously trying to wield power.

But it was time to take on the dungeon.

(I may be adding fuel to the fire by intervening, but I can't just leave him there either.)

Sam is a child, not yet an adult.

If he is warned by such a child, it may only pour out the wrath of the selfish-looking viscount boy.

But I didn't want to leave him alone.

Sam sighs and tries to speak to him.

"Hey, stop it!

But there was a girl who raised her voice before Sam did.

It was Erica Walker.

"Erica?

Sam's eyes widened and he looked at the girl.

Erica had a clearly angry look on her face and walked toward the boys making noise at the reception desk.
