Chapter 28: The dungeon crew.
Kaito walks with the cat still in his hands. "I wonder what I should call you." Kaito mentions.
He lifts the cat up and looks him in the eyes. The cat looks back at Kaito with it's one good eye. They stare at each other for a moment, before the cat licks Kaito's nose, making him laugh.
"I think lucky is a good name." He says as he pats him, Lucky meows in agreement. Kaito looks up at the sky and notices the time of day. "Shoot, i'll run out of daylight soon." He says as he hurries back to the guild.
"You should wait in here." Kaito says as he tucks lucky away inside of his bag.
Kaito arrives back at the adventurer guild and he goes up the counter. "I finished my quest, can I have my reward?" Kaito asks.
The woman at the counter looks at him as she pulls up a slip of paper. "Yeah, no, the lady called us telling her you stole the cat??" She questions as she looks dumbfounded.
Kaito smiles and shows Lucky. "She didn't deserve him, so I took him with me." Kaito says happily.
The woman sighs and shakes her head. "Kid, you wanna go on quests but you failed, literally the easiest one." She explains calmly.
Kaito scratches his head. "I feel like I passed." Kaito says.
The woman folds her stack of papers. "Good luck, with whatever you choose to do, can't do business with an adventurer if there's no chance at profit." She says.
It would seem Kaito already had stopped paying attention as he heard something else that caught his attention.
On the other side of the room he overheard a conversation of a dungeon raid they're planning.
"All preparations have been made we are good to go on the dungeon." A tall smart looking man says. "As long as we stick to the information given to us by the informations guild, all will be well." He continues.
"As long as we complete it well we should be in store for some good Blastie." A smaller man says.
A lightbulb goes off in Kaito's head. "A dungeon! That's the perfect place to go to get stronger, I heard Kaid talk about them all the time!" Kaito says as he walks over to them.
Kaito taps the taller man's arm and he looks at him confused. "Can I come along?" Kaito asks politely.
He looks at Kaito. "No." He bluntly says and he turns back around.
Kaito taps him again. "Can I come along?" Kaito asks again. "No." The man responds.
Kaito taps the man again.
This went on six more times. Kaito was not taking no for an answer. The man rubs his eyes. "Fine! You can come but you follow my orders!" He demands.
Kaito smiles. "Sure." Kaito agrees, but the following orders part was lost to him.
A woman peeks around and she notices Kaito. "Oh it's you again." It's the woman from earlier. "You sure you wanna go in there little buddy? Dungeons can be dangerous." She warns.
Kaito shakes his head. "I'll be alright." He responds confidently.
The woman then holds her hand out. "I never formally introduced myself. Names Terra." She says and Kaito shakes her hand. "I'm Kaito." He responds.
Terra then pulls the two guys to her. "The tall moody one here is Max, and this guy is Ray." She introduces them and they nod to Kaito.
Max clears his throat. "Also accompaning us is Emma, she's a collector dwarf." He says as he steps aside and a small woman comes forward. "It's nice to meet you sir." She politely says.
