Arriving at town gets them a perfunctory look-over by the town guards, who sign off on a chit the dungeon guards provided them, and copy down some codes into a ledger. They're then directed to the Guild, to turn in their harvest and collect their sharecropper's fee on the results.  (The Guild's record of the harvest will later be compared with the ledger maintained by the dungeon guards, as somebody takes pains to mention to them.)

After the kingdom's taxes, duchy's taxes, county's taxes, baronetcy's taxes, city taxes, and Guild taxes, Bella and Haroun receive 13 silver and 10 copper for their troubles; almost exactly what the guards estimated.

And Bella now qualifies to get a tin guildplate.

(There was a discussion while she was gone about whether Bella should be forced to take off her belt and scabbard and sword so they could have a better look at her Skill signature.  The Vice-Guildmaster pointed out that the main purpose of Skill fingerprinting is to prevent somebody from repeatedly committing sins and reregistering, and that a fingerprint as unique as Bella's serves this purpose just as nicely.)

The design of her tin guildplate, if Bella cares to inspect it, is simple enough that you could imagine the same guildplate being reinvented a hundred thousand years earlier.  The base design is a rectangle in the golden ratio, with clipped corners such that the clipped edges form 45-degree angles with the lines of the main rectangle, and the unclipped part of the short edge is the same length as the edges of the clipped corners.  There's runes on it that spell Bella in the local language, plus some smaller inscrutable runes that are admin codes rather than words.

There's a pamphlet Bella is supposed to read, around the complexity of the rules of the road for drivers in Washington, if the rules of the road put a lot of emphasis on not killing other drivers to steal their cars.  There are repeated injunctions that "But I was stronger than them and successfully beat them up!" is not a defense for refusing to obey the instructions of Guild administration personnel, who actually know all the actual and much more complicated rules pertaining to particular contracts.  Your Guild plate will be revoked as a result, and your parents cannot overrule this revocation no matter who they are.

You need to produce a minimum amount of revenue for the Guild, per three months, to maintain E-rank privileges.  Most ways of doing this involve risking your life and other people collecting a majority of the resulting earnings.  But hey, at least you can now roam around the country without having a new layer of skin ripped off by travel fees every time you cross a local border; and officials will hesitate to do worse than annoy you, if you don't do anything that gives them a good excuse.

And then they're out of the building, and Bella is officially an E-rank Adventurer.
