Let's Just Save this Matter
"For now at least they won't do that, so we can rest easy" (Arata)
"You guys just calm down! If there are people like that who come here, I will beat them to make them repent" (Saeko)
They smiled at Saeko's response. Then continue the chat with various random topics.

At this time, Gion was already in front of the Portal, and without waiting any longer, Gion went straight inside. Her subordinates also followed behind her.
As they passed through the Portal, they felt as if they had penetrated a thin membrane. Granted, the sensation was slightly uncomfortable but there was no other effect once it had passed through the Portal.
Just like the others when they first entered the Dungeon, they were all surprised by the sight of the City beyond the Portal.
Even though Gion had read it from the book, seeing things first hand was very different.
After that, they split up and walked around the City to get more information.
Gion didn't intend to take the Quest now, she had to quickly report this place to Sengoku.
All things related to the Dungeon cannot be left unattended. Who knows that there are other parties who want to take advantage of this place for bad purposes.
With only 4 people guarding this place, Gion was afraid that this place would be attacked by pirates and all of this was captured.
But the thing that Gion doesn't know is, Arata and the others have enough strength to stand at the top of the list of powers in this world.
They were so good at hiding their powers that Gion didn't realize the truth.
If possible, Gion wants to work with Arata so he can manage this place with the Marines.
If Arata agrees then the strength of the Marines will increase and it will be easier to deal with 'evil' Pirates all over the seas.
And Gion believed that Arata would agree to this idea in return for protection from a large Organization like the Marines.
After going around searching for additional information, Gion and her subordinates regrouped at the Portal and quickly exited the Dungeon.
They didn't return to the Guild but went straight back to the ship and immediately returned to Marine Headquarters.
Meanwhile Arata and the three girls know that Gion has left the Dungeon and left the island.
"You okay with that?" Kaori asked this to Arata, because she found this behavior impolite.
"It doesn't matter, Adventurers are free people. As long as they don't break the rules, I won't say anything" Arata replied casually.
Meanwhile Saeko was quite excited when she met Gion earlier but she didn't open her mouth to talk to Gion.
Saeko felt that Gion was quite a strong person, especially with swordsmanship. Because of that Saeko at least wanted the chance to have a match with him.
"Hey, Arata. The Marines were pretty strong, mind if I fight them?" (Saeko)
Arata looks at Saeko for a moment and finds himself in high spirits. Seeing Gion just now seemed to have flipped the switch.
Saeko is also a Swordsman. So looking at Gion, a strong woman and Swordsman, plus Saeko's personality. It was obvious this excited her.
She could have fought Asuna who was also a master swordsman, but the two of them had fought so many times that they knew each other's strengths.
"You can, but don't do it here. Find an uninhabited island for your fight" (Arata)
"Thanks Arata, this will be fun" Saeko was really happy about this.
Kaori then asked Arata.
"What do you think will happen next?" (Kaori)
"Just you wait. Interesting things will happen later" (Arata)
Kaori didn't ask further because she trusted Arata. She also didn't want to be told now and was more waiting to see her in person.
=====
Gion sailed for a while and finally arrived at Marine Headquarters.
She ordered her subordinates to make reports about their patrols, while the Dungeon matter would be reported by Gion herself.
After that, she immediately went to Sengoku's office and when she arrived there, Gion found that not only Sengoku was inside, there were also Tsuru, Garp, and Aokiji.
"What's wrong Gion? You're in a rush like this" Tsuru asked this because it was unusual to see Gion like this.
Garp also noticed this but the old man was only focused on his snacks, whereas Aokiji who previously closed his eyes now opened them.
Sengoku himself left his work to hear what Gion would have to say because he thought it would be important.
Gion then sat on the chair beside Tsuru and told him everything she knew about the Dungeon and its benefits.
Those who heard it had a hard time believing this, but Gion showed them a photo of the Dungeon taken with the Den Den Mushi.
Gion also tells about Arata and 3 other girls she thinks of as ordinary people who manage the Dungeon.
Suggesting Sengoku to collaborate with Arata in exchange for the protection that will be given to Arata.
With a place like the Dungeon that had abundant resources, it was certain that many people would come to that place.
If Arata is defeated and the Dungeon is taken over by bad people, then it is certain that chaos will come soon.
Garp is currently listening seriously, that this matter is becoming important enough to be a future asset. Likewise with Aokiji who is currently eliminating his lazy attitude.
"Alright, we will have a meeting tonight to discuss matters regarding the Dungeon. Garp, you should come too!" Sengoku put a little emphasis on this last sentence, afraid that Garp would skip school again as usual.
"Bwahahaha, don't worry Sengoku. I will come, this place looks like I can have fun" Garp was still laughing while answering Sengoku.
Sengoku himself is familiar with Garp's attitude like this. Even so, Sengoku was still annoyed when Garp behaved like that.
"Do you think we should tell the World Government about this?" (Tsuru)
"…No, let's just save this matter for now" (Sengoku)
"I understand" (Tsuru)
=====
Dungeon Island.
It was currently lunch time, and it was unusual that everyone was gathered at this time.
They were all eating in the cafeteria and talking various things about their adventures in the Dungeon.
Hancock and her 2 sisters had been adventurers for almost a week. They had just leveled up 4, it took 1 more level for them to get the skill.
Meanwhile, Ran and the others will soon reach level 5, and Reyleigh is still level 3.
Arata is currently talking to Reyleigh at the same table, as the two of them are the only males on the island for now.
"Oh, Reyleigh. The Marines came here earlier, moreover a Vice Admiral came" (Arata)
"Hmm? Have they found this place yet?" (Reyleigh)
"I'm sure they found this place by accident. I suggest you be careful so they don't catch you" (Arata)
"Hahaha, I believe you will act when that happens" (Reyleigh)
Arata just shrugged at Reyleigh and continued eating.
