Chapter 203: Moving House The group was returning from the forest after completing their quest when Tauro asked Ankh a practical question. “Where are you staying at the moment, Ankh?” “Me? I’m lodging at the Dwarf Inn.” “We rent two houses for the team. Would you like to share mine?” “But aren’t Tauro and Aeris […]
Chapter 202: The Fourth Member Ankh’s movements were excellent. He and Ragune were well matched, and together they eliminated the first six goblins with ease. Tauro noticed that Ankh was clearly holding back. At first he wondered whether Ankh was concealing his true strength. Then he recognized the discipline behind the man’s movements. On a
Chapter 201: Former Mercenary Tauro, Aeris, and Ragune sat across from the applicant in a corner of the Resting Pavilion’s dining room.

Chapter 200: Promotion and… Black-Gold Wings returned to the Dansas branch of the Adventurers’ Guild and went directly to the reception counter to report the completed request. “Welcome back, Tauro,” Chloe said. “You were gone longer than expected.

Chapter 197: On the Way to the Quest The newly reorganized Black-Gold Wings set out to investigate the poisoned swamp. The journey to the requesting village would take roughly two days each way.

Chapter 196: Days of G-Rank Quests Tauro and Aeris spent the following days completing G-rank requests with Ragune, occasionally mixing in medicinal-herb gathering quests. G-rank work consisted mostly of simple errands, but higher-ranked adventurers could still receive favorable evaluations for completing it because such requests contributed directly to the guild and the local community.

Chapter 195: A G-Rank Adventurer After finally introducing themselves, Tauro and Aeris decided that their first task should be registering Ragune as an adventurer. As they left the forest and entered Dansas, the scales visible across Ragune’s body immediately drew attention. “This won’t do,” she muttered. “I especially dislike being mistaken for lizardfolk.” She cast
Chapter 194: A New Member Ragune drew a deep breath, released it slowly, and spoke with a serious expression. “I’ll now deliver the dragonfolk chief’s decision. ‘From this day forward, for as long as you desire, I entrust Ragune Dragoon to serve as your sword and shield.
