Chapter 286: Many Things ……

Around the time that Tauro’s adoption was being discussed again in the royal capital──

The person himself, Tauro, was busy with his daily dungeon pick-up and drop-off quests, opening a curry shop, and selling magical tools made by Giro Sugar, his alias, in the village of the Dragon People.

As for the curry shop, Tauro intended to only teach the recipe, as he was thinking of operating the shop only in the village by the dragon tribe.

“But is it okay? I don’t think it would be very profitable for Tauro-dono. ……”

Cooks, the food developer who would be running the restaurant, felt bad because Tauro was going to teach him recipes and even prepare the restaurant for him.

“No, thanks to Cooks-san’s help, I was able to make a curry roux that can be preserved quite well, and I was also able to improve the taste of the curry. And most of all, I’ve grown to love this village of dragon people, so I want everyone to try it. Oh, but I will charge you a production fee, okay?”

“Production?”

Cooks had a question mark in his head at the unfamiliar words.

“Oh, by deciding on the image of the store, the choice of location, etc., I mean that I will charge you that fee. The village of the Dragon People is in Ragune’s “dimensional corridor”, and although it can be reached quickly, it is certainly in a distant land. Rather than me being the manager of such a place, it would be better to be with the community as a village-run business. Oh, and if you want to set up a branch, please consult with me.”

Tauro explained and decided to leave the management to the village of the Dragon People.

“I understand ……. I will report to the chief in that direction.”

Cooks was satisfied with Tauro’s explanation, and they shook hands firmly.

Incidentally, the curry shop produced by Tauro, the savior of the village, drew a line of customers as soon as it opened.

And soon additional branches will be built on the side of the dungeon in the near future.

Tauro immediately approached the artisans in the village of the Dragon People who had available hands about the production and sale of magical tools made by Jiro Sugar.

These included lanterns, rain gear, refrigerators, and coolers made with magic circle technology, as well as water pumps, baths, and toilets made with Tauro’s “creation magic,” and a wide range of other new heating devices.

“Did you come up with all this yourself, Tauro-dono? That’s outrageous. I’m sorry to say this, but I thought the technology of the dragon people was more advanced than that of humans, but it seems that’s not the case.”

The assembled craftsmen were deeply impressed by Tauro’s explanation of each item.

“No, I think the skills of the Dragon People are excellent enough. I have not done much since adding a few modifications to my predecessor’s magic circle technology. And it is precisely because I think your technology is superior that I am asking you to produce these.”

Tauro humbly asked, while protecting the pride of the craftsmen.

“…… hmmm. There are certainly some things that are packed with technology that humans and dwarves don’t have. I doubt that even we can make something of this caliber, but let’s give it a try.”

Tauro is also the lifesaver of the dragon people’s village, and as a craftsman, he is skilled at producing the items filled with technology in front of him.

Besides, these items would improve the lives of the dragon people.

The craftsmen nodded to each other and immediately began their work.

When he returned home after sunset to the residence of the siblings, where he was staying while doing various things at the same time. Tauro returned home to find Ragune waiting for his return with longing eyes.

“Tauro, welcome home! I heard about you from my brother. It seems like you’ve been busy from morning till night. Have you eaten supper yet? If there are any leftover pork cutlets in Tauro’s magic storage, I’d like you to give them to me.”

Ragune greeted Tauro with a smile and suddenly derailed and started talking about dinner.

“Yeah, I’m home. I haven’t had dinner yet… ──Did something happen over there that you bothered to wait for me to return?”

Tauro asked, thinking that there was nothing much to worry about since Ragune was smiling after not seeing him for a long time.

“In any case, let’s talk while having dinner. I want to eat pork cutlets for the first time in a while.”

Apparently, Ragune really wants to eat pork cutlets.

Or, rather, I wondered if she had not yet returned to the village of Dansas. Ragune’s older brother, Drago, took out food for three people from the magic storage and started eating.

“What can I do for you……?”

I asked Ragune again, who was delighted to be eating pork cutlets for the first time in a long time.

“Yes? Oh, that’s right! That’s right. ─ ─ Right now, we “the Black Golden Wings” are in the Royal Capital. That’s why we don’t get to eat pork cutlets very often. I explained to the cook at Aeris’s house how to make it and we can have something similar, but it’s not as good as at the “Dwarf Inn” and they don’t serve it every time. ……”

Ragune’s story of their stay in the Royal Capital was not the main topic of conversation, but rather the pork cutlets.

“Wait, wait a minute, Ragune. What is it you want?”

“Oh, you want to ask me that? The story is a long one, but the only thing I want to tell you is that Tauro is going to be adopted by a nobleman.”

Ragone said what she really wanted and stuffed her mouth with pork cutlet.

“What do you mean?”

Even Tauro, who is somewhat perceptive, could not keep up with Ragune’s explanation, and many question marks appeared on his head.
