Bab 32: Gathering Information
Charlie slowly woke up, surrounded by an extraordinary warmth and comfort.
As his eyes opened, he realized that he was in an extremely luxurious hotel room, vastly different from the simple room he usually stayed in at Menel City.
The ceiling was adorned with beautiful carvings, and a grand crystal chandelier hung magnificently, casting a soft light that illuminated the entire room. Thick gold and red curtains hung along the large windows, offering a view of the bustling Labyrinth City of Orario.
The morning sunlight sneaked through the gaps in the curtains, giving the room a warm ambiance.
"Hoam... How long has it been since I slept in a room this comfortable?"
Stretching his stiff body, Charlie walked to the window, watching the people already busy with their activities despite the sun having just risen.
"Spending 900 valis was worth it; the five-star hotel facilities are indeed worth the price."
Hera had given him 50,000 valis as initial funds. Charlie didn't treat himself poorly; since he had money, he wanted to indulge himself occasionally.
"Moreover, there's a toilet and a bathroom! I can say goodbye to primitive excretion methods!"
After a while, his drowsiness faded. Then, he headed to the bathroom and began to shower.
Unlike Japanese and Western people who rarely bathe, Charlie, being Indonesian, was accustomed to bathing at least twice a day, a habit he maintained even in another world.
After bathing, he started getting dressed and putting on his equipment.
"Buy breakfast on the way to the Guild."
Closing the door to his room, Charlie left the inn.
Morning in Orario was a moment full of life and activity. On the main streets, vendors began opening their stalls. The sound of creaking wood as the stall windows were opened and the smell of fresh bread and other foods soon filled the air.
Charlie bought three loaves of bread and a bottle of milk at a stall, totaling 100 valis. He had to admit, the cost of living in Orario was higher than in Menel.
He also noticed adventurers moving quickly along the streets, many of them already clad in armor, ready to head to the Dungeon or the Guild.
It wasn't unusual for Charlie to cross paths with gods. Although they mingled with the beings of the lower world, just a glance was enough to tell that they were gods.
There was a fundamental difference between gods and the people of the lower world. Even if Arcanum was sealed, every time someone saw a god, there was an inexplicable impression of "Ah, this is a god."
Especially, the gods were perfect for humans, and this was not reflected in their personal appearance. Although there were still differences in height, shortness, obesity, and age, the body of a god was perfect.
After walking for about 10 minutes, Charlie arrived at the Guild headquarters. Without hesitation, he opened the door and entered.
He saw adventurers coming and going, crowding the hall; some of them were preparing to enter the Dungeon, but most were there to gather information.
The Guild would record significant events in the past few days, especially new information about the Dungeon on parchments, then post them on the bulletin board on the wall to warn adventurers. After all, the majority of adventurers made their living in the Dungeon by collecting magic stones or drop items, a dangerous job with life on the line.
So, information was as important to them as their lives, which is why many adventurers would come to the Guild to gather the latest information before entering the Dungeon in the morning.
That was also Charlie's purpose.
"Oi, isn't that a member of Hera Familia?"
"Tch, he's still fine. Looks like the adventurers who messed with him yesterday failed."
"Look at his flashy appearance; does he think this is the era of Hera Familia's reign?"
"Hmph, if he meets me in the Dungeon, hehehehe..."
The news of a member of Hera Familia arriving had spread throughout the Dungeon. Plus, his all-white appearance made him easily recognizable.
Setting aside the glorious reputation of Hera Familia in the past, Charlie was known for his ability to fly, which many people had seen at the entrance to Orario, and it caused quite a stir.
The ability to fly was extremely rare, even rarer than a First-Class Adventurer. So far, only one person was known to be able to fly, Asfi Al Andromeda!
Thus, Charlie was very famous even though he was a newcomer to Orario.
"..."
Ignoring the stares of the surrounding adventurers, Charlie didn't care what they thought of him. He arrived in front of the staff counter.
"Good morning, Sophie."
"Ah, good morning, Charlie-san. I'm sorry about yesterday; I unilaterally rejected your registration. I'm really sorry."
Seeing that it was Charlie, Sophie stood up from her chair and bowed while apologizing.
"It's okay, I'm not angry. By the way, does the Guild sell basic information about the Dungeon? As you can see, I came from outside Orario, and I'd like to learn more about the Dungeon before entering."
"If it's just basic information, there's no need to pay. The Guild provides it for free. Usually, an advisor would teach basic information to beginner adventurers, but Charlie-san refused an advisor..."
"Can I read it myself? I'm not used to interacting with others."
"Alright then, follow me."
Sophie found the reason unreasonable. Through their conversation, she didn't feel Charlie had difficulty communicating with others. Even so, she didn't ask further.
Then, Sophie led Charlie to one of the rooms usually used by advisors and adventurers for consultations.
"I'll bring a book that summarizes basic Dungeon information. Charlie-san, please wait here."
"Mm."
In the middle of the room, there was a table and two wooden chairs facing each other. Charlie sat down, waiting for Sophie to return.
Not long after, Sophie returned, carrying two books and placing them on the table.
"Charlie-san can read these books. I have to get back to work."
"Thank you."
After Sophie left, only Charlie remained in the small room.
"[Dungeon Introduction Book]. This book is suitable for beginners who know nothing. It's just right; I forgot a lot about the Danmachi series. This is a good book."
Even though the letters in this world didn't use alphabets or characters from Earth, somehow Charlie could read them.
He suspected that the being behind his reincarnation had done this. After all, not being able to read and communicate in this world's language would greatly increase the difficulty of living.
"By the way, these people use Japanese honorifics when addressing others."
Charlie recalled how Sophie added the "-san" honorific when addressing his name.
People also added the "-sama" honorific as a sign of respect when calling the gods.
"Oh well, there's no point in thinking too deeply about this. It's not important, let's focus on what's in front of me."
Shaking his head, Charlie opened the book and began reading.
