We walked through the golden halls, admiring the intricate decorations. Upon reaching a spacious area filled with numerous Players, we unexpectedly spotted the party we had encountered at the Golden Sakura. I had assumed they were coming from below.
"Welcome to the great hall! Over there is a large chamber. It leads to a door, and through that door, you will meet our King," Quick Hare announced. "His divine voice will assign your task."
"Hmm…" I nodded. "Very well. We are a party, so we'll proceed together."
"That's acceptable!" she replied with a nod. "Now, let's take a number and wait."
"A number…?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, as you can see, this place is crowded with people. To maintain order, we have Players take a number and wait until their turn," she explained.
"Okay then…" I said, glancing around.
Several areas were bustling with Players exchanging materials for System Points and purchasing items with them.
