48 Chapter 47 (1/2)
Before entering the dungeon, Ren and the others set up a camp near the dungeon. After that, Leon, Ren, and Ryoko moved to a small building nearby. It was the place where they had to inform that they wanted to try to clear the dungeon. Surprisingly, several groups were nearby, and all of them had the same goal.
”Do we have to enter a queue?” Leon frowned.
”That is right,” Ren explained. ”Even if all groups fail in clearing the dungeon, the materials we can get here are precious. So, such a thing is necessary.”
”Awesome... billions of people died, but bureaucracy is still hanging there.” Leon scratched the back of his head.
Inside the improvised building, Leon saw ten figures armed with big-ass spears. They barely moved, and thanks to that, they looked like statues, but those were soldiers who used the same Japanese armor Ren and his subordinates used. Although Ren and his friends had red armor, those ten guys were wearing golden armor. It was too flashy.
”Those are the Emperor��s soldiers, don't mess with them,” Ren whispered.
It looked like the Emperor himself guarded the ownerless dungeons to avoid problems, since no one was stupid enough to disobey the most powerful figure of the country. Despite the presence of his soldiers in that building, Leon saw two figures looking at him as if they wanted to pick a fight. They said something and even spit on the ground, Leon couldn't do anything but frown. It was clear what they were thinking of him, but Leon didn't feel anything.
Leon looked around the building as if he was bored, and that enraged those two guys, they stepped forward, but Leon stopped them, and at the same time he looked at the imperial soldiers. Those guys said other things again and left the building.
”Let me guess; they wanted to ask if I watched Dr*g*n B*ll or something,” Leon said.
”Hahaha, I wish that was the case,” Ren laughed. ”Just ignore them, ok?”
”I don't understand their words; I can only ignore them.” Leon shrugged.
It looked like those two were there to challenge the dungeon too, Leon saw them talking with a woman, who seemed to be responsible for organizing things related to the dungeon. That woman was pretty too, but she appeared to be around her forties, and she was really a beauty since she wasn't wearing makeup.
Ren said a few words to her; she did the same, but then her eyes stopped on Leon. Ren probably explained the situation, and then she lost interest, that being said, Leon noticed the brief moment that woman looked at the guards. After that, he felt as if he was being watched. Five minutes later, they left the building. Leon had no time to learn Japanese, but it was a pain to be in a country where only a single person could talk with you.
