Chapter 284: Eradication Crisis?

The day after returning from the 202nd level.

first, Tauro was lectured by Chief Ryuga.

That’s right, he had asked for a safety quest that would only take pick-up and drop-off in the dungeon, but since I had done something dangerous crossing the 202nd level, the deepest level in the dungeon, the client had to be careful.

He did not want anything to happen to Tauro.

He was their benefactor, and as the client, he had a responsibility.

Chief Ryuga strictly warned Tauro not to participate in dangerous missions in the future, even if he had to do so on such occasions, and to leave it to others.

“─ ─ I also received a report from Tsugumi. He said that you were able to get the key for the lower level to appear after killing the area guardians that the Capture  group failed to defeat. Thank you for that……. It was a great help, as it can take days to get through a single level.”

Chief Ryuga thanked Tauro.

“No, it was because of the support team and the escort team. ─ ─ I realized that the depths of the dungeon were too much for my inexperienced mind to handle.”

Tauro expressed his honest impression.

Yes, it was because of the extraordinary strength of the surrounding dragon people that I could afford to experiment with dark magic.

If it weren’t for all of the dragon people, I’m pretty sure I would have gone to the other side at the first move.

“But, Tauro-dono. You are only thirteen years old. There is no one in our tribe who can fight that well at that age. If you work hard without pride, you will eventually become a warrior capable of fighting even in the deepest levels. ───What do you think? How about you try hellish training in our “dragon pit” on days when you are not on dungeon pick- up and drop-off duty? I don’t usually recommend this for humans, but perhaps you can overcome it, Tauro-dono?”

Chief Ryuga, who had the utmost respect for Tauro, had no intention of making him undergo such harsh training that would ingrain in him the saying, “Kill me.”

“Your kindness is appreciated. ……”

Tauro replied and quickly left the chief’s house.

From then on, Tauro devoted himself to transporting people using “Spatial Transfer”, and only moved to the “Break Room” in the dungeon

In the meantime, a new request came in.

It was to mass produce curry.

I heard that Tauro-dono left curry and steamed buns for one of the capture groups during a supply run, and that other capture groups had a chance to taste them. The other members of the Capture  group, who usually do not complain about the food, expressed their wish, and we, the supply management officers, wanted to fulfill their wish. However, we have never prepared such a meal before, so we have no choice but to ask Tauro-dono to make it for us. If you don’t mind, could you please make it for us?”

A beautiful woman with red hair and golden eyes from the Dragon Tribe, who claimed to be the supply manager at the Adventurers’ Guild branch of the Dragon people’s village, bowed her head and asked Tauro, who was visiting the village, to do so.

“Please raise your head. Actually, I had something on my mind about that, so you were just in time. Actually, I was thinking of opening a curry shop in this Dragon people village.”

“A curry shop ……?”

The female supply manager tilted her head slightly.

“Yes. But I can’t manage it, so I was thinking of giving the recipes to someone else to run the restaurant. But I was having a hard time because I don’t have any connections here.”

“If that’s the case, we in the Supply Management Department have connections with people who are involved in the development of culinary and preserved foods, and I’m sure we can help.”

The supply manager’s eyes lit up as she saw her chance and appealed to Tauro.

“…… preserved food. That’s just fine. And while we’re at it, we might as well make curry roux.”

Then it’s a quick story.

Tauro immediately went to the Supply Management Department, guided by the Supply Management  Officer, and was introduced to the developer of cooking and preserved food, and began by giving him the basic curry powder recipe, teaching him how to make it, and fulfilling the wishes of the capture team.

“I see. ……. I can see why the Capture team would want to eat this. From the aroma to the taste, this is something we have never tasted before!”

The food developer nodded in agreement, impressed by Tauro’s cooking.

“Now that we have replenished the curry for the capture group, I will teach you how to make steamed buns.”

Tauro continued to instruct the group in detail, from the red bean paste to the kneading of the dough.

The developer must have been a very skilled cook by nature.

He quickly mastered the technique and was able to reproduce it without having to ask Tauro twice.

This makes it easy to teach.

Tauro was impressed that the dragon people were not only good at fighting, and taught them about other dishes as well.

“Is this the pork cutlet that the capturers were so impressed with? Certainly, when combined with curry, it is murderously delicious. ……I’m going to ask the garrison to hunt down all the orcs in the area right away!”

The delicious curry cutlet was so good that the supply officer and the man who developed the food and preserves shook hands with each other.

The orcs are in danger of being eradicated!

Tauro thought that the dragon people might do it.
