In The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter Episode 2, “The Guild and the Receptionist,” Noir Starga had to face a harsh reality: His father didn’t have anywhere near enough money to pay for the admittance fee. That meant it fell to Noir, which really means it fell to Olivia Servant. She came though, as usual, with a great idea: Noir should go to the adventurer’s guild and ask for work. The first obstacle was that the receptionist, Lola Metrose, didn’t believe he has the same skills that the guild’s most amazing adventurer (Olivia herself!) used to have. The guild’s magic device showed that yes, he did have the skills. The second problem, though was Emma Brightness meeting Lola. Will Noir survive that experience? Will the guild? Even if they do, how will he be able to early 300,000 rels before the end of the week, the school’s admission fee deadline?
