Special Labyrinth Entry License Application 2

"Hey, hey, wake up! You’re not getting up? Alright, if you won’t wake up… take this!"

"Ugh! What the!? Aaaaahh...!!"

"How’s that? Did it wake you up? Well, I’m heading out for morning practice, okay? I made sure to wake you up!"

"Ughh... Ohh, that hurts... Ruri, you little... First thing in the morning, hitting me with a nose hook while I’m defenseless—what kind of sister does that..."

Rubbing my sore nose, I head downstairs, wash my face, and enter the living room. The pleasant smell of freshly toasted bread, butter, and a particularly fine coffee fills the air.

"Oh, what happened? Your nose is all red?"

"Good morning, Shizu-nee. This happened because of Ruri... that little troublemaker."

"Heh, that’s what happens when your big brother oversleeps, isn’t it? Come on, hurry up, or Ruu-chan will be here to pick you up soon."

"Oh, right! I’d better hurry and eat."

"Geez, hurry up? I put so much love into making it! You’ve got to savor it properly or your big sister will feel lonely!"

"Oh, no! That's not what I meant! I’m always grateful, Shizu-nee, thanks! Let’s eat!"

"Hehe, Naki’s such a good kid~"

Saying that, Shizu-nee pats my head like she would a child.

"Geez, I’m already in high school! Don’t treat me like a little kid and stop patting my head."

"No matter how old you get, you’re still my cute little brother, Naki. Isn’t that right?"

"Man, I give up..."

Just then, the front door opens, and I hear the voice of my childhood friend.

"Good morning! Naki-chan, let’s go to school!"

"Oh, looks like Ruu-chan’s here to pick you up."

"Yeah, thanks for the meal. I’m off now!"

"Take care, both of you!"

"““Bye, see you later!””"

...

"So, yesterday, when I stopped by the vacant lot after the library, there was this cute little kitten."

"(Squee! Shikoku, Shikoku!!)"

(Huh? What’s that voice??)

Before I could even think, I collided head-on with a girl who turned sharply into the intersection in front of me without slowing down.

BANG!

"Whoa!?"

"Ahh!!"

She was running pretty fast, so the impact made me fall down as well.

"Are you okay, Naki-chan!? Are you hurt?"

"Ouch, what was that... Ah! That was strawberry underwear!!"

In front of me, the girl who had fallen from the impact was sprawled out, her skirt completely exposed, showing an embarrassing sight.

"Wha…!? What do you think you’re looking at!!"

The girl quickly got up and, probably feeling embarrassed, glared at me with teary eyes.

"Ugh… I was probably in a rush, but you’re the one who suddenly crashed into me!"

"Why are you talking like Saigo-san?"

"...Ah, no good! This isn’t the time for this! I’m being chased by people from Shikoku, so I’ll excuse myself now. Goodbye!!"

Saying that, the girl dashed off again at full speed.

"Man, what was that about...?"

"Are you okay? No injuries?"

"Yeah, I’m fine. Thanks, Ruu."

"No problem. But that uniform... I’ve never seen one like that around here."

"And it wasn’t just the uniform that was rare; it looked like she was wearing chainmail underneath too."

"Really? She was definitely an unusual girl."

"Yeah…"

...

Ring, ring, ring!

"Attention, bow! Rejoice, boys! Today, we have exciting news! A cute transfer student is joining our class!!"

"““Woooahhh!!!””"

"Hey, Naki-chan, did you hear? A transfer student! I wonder what kind of girl she is?"

"Yeah. But judging by the way our teacher spoke, she sounds like a girl."

"Come in, transfer student!"

"Excuse me! ...Nice to meet you, I’m from Shikoku, and my name is Serai Ma… Aah! The peeping tom from this morning!!"

"Wha!? You’re the girl with strawberry underwear… I mean, the reckless girl!!"

"What? You two already know each other? Well then, Serai, you’ll be sitting next to Egetsu. Oh, and let me see your textbook."

"““Eeeeeehhh!!””"

...

"—And so, for weapons storage, please make sure to—"

(Huh…? What’s this, did I fall asleep? It feels like I had the most cliché dream just now…)

After the physical measurements, we had about two more hours of lectures. It was all about laws, which were so boring that I must have dozed off.

Also, the textbook seemed to be hastily made based on hunting licenses, so there were mistakes everywhere. But according to it, aside from the license issue, the police charge a ¥15,000 fee for weapons possession permits, and there’s another ¥3,000 for a doctor’s diagnosis needed for the application.

Wow, they’re really trying to take my money everywhere.

So, if I want to apply for a possession permit for Excalibur as a weapon, I first have to visit the doctor to get a diagnosis saying "This guy isn’t a crazy dangerous person," then I’d have to go to the police with the weapon I want to register and apply for a permit.

Ugh, what a hassle.

"Also, when carrying weapons, special cases like these will be sold for storing them, so make sure to carry them in one."

The instructor holds up a sturdy plastic case, the kind you’d use for an electric drill, with a lock for security, and a bright red, flashy color that really stands out. Yeah, they’re definitely making money off these special cases.

Then, the bald man sitting in the front raised his hand, probably for a question.

"Yes, what is it?"

"With that size, I assume it could fit a sword, but what about longer weapons, like spears?"

Wait… What? Isn’t that Unkai asking the question? What’s he planning? To be a warrior with a naginata or something??

"Ah, yes. For long weapons like spears, there will be cases available that lock only the tip of the weapon."

"Ah, I see, thank you."

I see. But wasn’t Unkai using a staff? He could just use that.

If edged weapons are allowed, I suppose I’d want something with high attack power. Yeah, something like a Buddha Javelin would be way stronger than just a staff.

So, it seems that those with a Special Dungeon Entry License are allowed to carry weapons.

Moreover, they’ve completely lifted the restrictions on knives under the gun and sword control law. However, because of this, weapons need to be strictly managed, and if anything happens, there will be severe penalties.

But, thanks to this, it’s allowed to walk around wearing a sword inside the dungeon. Hmm, I bet many would be excited about that.

On the other hand, firearms and ranged weapons like bows are completely banned.

Well, it’s already tough to get a gun in Japan, and ranged weapons have a high risk of accidental shooting. That’s probably the reason. However, a dungeon user could throw things with a lot of power, even without weapons.

There was a question about this too, but the answer was just "Don’t do it in places with people around."

Yeah, that makes sense. When it comes to guns, the answer is "If you want to use them, join the Self-Defense Forces." And with bows or crossbows, I wonder if they can even handle the strength of a dungeon user’s power.

Hmm, probably not, and they’d lose their meaning.

Because even if I just throw rock salt, it’d easily go over 300 or 400 km/h. Would a bow really be able to withstand that force? That’s the problem. Well, maybe if there’s a magic bow or something really durable, that could be different.

Still, they’d be powerful weapons, so many would probably want to use them.

"Alright, that’s the end of the lecture. Now, we’ll move on to interviews, so please head to the next room."
