Chapter 292: 86
After returning to the village of the Dragon People, Tauro continues to spend his days doing the supply group’s transportation quests.
The rest of the time, he was busy working on the opening of the curry store, and also trying to find ways to utilize the technology of the Dragon People’s Village for his own research on magic.
A few days later in the morning.
“Tauro-dono, you’ve become more energetic than ever in the past few days since you came back from over there.”
Drago, Ragune’s older brother, commented frankly on Tauro’s activities over the past few days.
“I was inspired by my friends over there, so I can’t afford to lose to them. Besides, my experience here is valuable, so I want to do a lot of things.”
Tauro spoke happily.
“I see. We, the dragon people, have been inspired by you in many ways. The dungeon capture is one thing, but Tauro-dono’s magic tools using magic circles, and that dish of curry, that spicy and delicious food, is the best!”

Drago exclaimed, wiping the drool that came out unintentionally from his imagination.
“Ha-ha-ha. Well, I’ll cook dinner tonight, so let’s have hamburger steak curry for the main course. I’ll add a seafood salad, too.”
“Hamburger steak curry with seafood?! I’m looking forward to it. That juicy hamburger steak is great by itself, so when it’s combined with curry, it’s a deadly weapon! Besides, seafood is still very precious in this area, so I’m looking forward to dinner tonight!”
Drago went back to his room for his magic research while being excited.
“All right, then, let’s go to the Adventurers’ Guild again today and take on some quests.”
Tauro was back on his feet and headed for the Adventurers’ Guild.
In front of the Adventurers’ Guild reception desk
“Good morning, Ryuko. Well then, today also ──”
As usual, Tauro tried to get a quest from the bulletin board, but found two free quests posted there.
One was the usual transportation to and from the deeper levels for the dungeon capture, as usual.
But next to it, there was another one, and its contents were,
Ad
──Urgent request──
A request for transportation for a search party to the 86th level.
We need you to pick up and drop off a team that will be dispatched to search for a support group that has lost contact with the 86th level.
Client: Adventurers’ Guild
It says.
If it is a request from the Adventurers’ Guild, then the head of this branch of the Dragon People’s Branch must be out of town right now, so the request was made by…….
When I turned around to the reception, there was Ryuko, the receptionist, praying with her hands together.
“… erm. Is it possible that this support group that has lost contact is the branch manager’s team?”
Tauro made a bad prediction.
“…… Correct. Our branch manager hasn’t shown any sign of coming back after the expedition period. The other team that came back said they went to work on the 86th level map, but they never came back.”

“Haven’t 86 levels been mapped out yet? We’re in the middle of a 200-level-deep assault.”
“Some levels are still unexplored, such as the 86th level, which, after all, is also known as ‘the labyrinth within the labyrinth.’ ……”
“I see. …… So you’re sending a search team to find the missing team.”
Tauro understood.
“That’s what this is about. Can you please take care of the transportation to and from the depths?”
“Of course. Where are the search teams?”
“They are already waiting at the dungeon entrance.”
“Okay, I’ll get the order and meet you there.”
Tauro accepted the simple request for transportation, but when he actually went to the break room on the 86th floor with the escort team and the search team, he found that he was in for a big problem.
When I and the search team visited the break room by “spatial transfer,” one of the rescuers was already there.
He was one of the team members who had been diving with the guild branch manager.
The only one who was there.
“A storm hit on the 86th floor, and we were all scattered!”
He says.
‘Storm’ is a phenomenon unique to the 86th floor, and is said to be a phenomenon that literally occurs like a storm.
The phenomenon is said to be something that causes skills such as searching, sensing, and vision blocking to go haywire.
This is called “skill-killing” among the Dragon People.
However, until now, it has only been recorded a few times in hundreds of years, and we have almost never been caught up in such an event.
For that very reason, being involved in such an extremely low-probability event can only be described as bad luck.
This would change the appearance of the search team that Tauro picked up and dropped off.
Unlike a simple search, the 86th level was originally a “labyrinth within a labyrinth.
When a ‘Storm’ is added to the mix, the search becomes extremely difficult.
This time, the search team was supposed to consist of three teams of 15 people, but it was difficult to say that there were enough people.
Tauro asked Tsugumu, the leader of his escort team, in this heavy atmosphere,
“Can’t we go around searching too? We’ve already finished transportation to and from the depths today. It would be more progressive if Tsugumi-san-san and the others, who are the reserve team of the deep attack support team, joined the search, wouldn’t it?”
I suggested.
“I am sure that’s true, but we can’t put Tauro-dono in danger again. ……”
“Is the 86th level really that dangerous?”
“Monsters do not appear very often. However, once you get lost alone, somehow you lose your sense of direction and are driven to the verge of a mental breakdown. We dragon people have been trained to endure such a situation, but Tauro-dono has not had such training, so it would be dangerous if you were to wander off by yourself.”
Tsugumi complained about the dangers of the 86th level.

“Then I’ll try to stay close to you all.”
Tauro vowed to stay close to everyone.
And now…
“How did this happen?”
Tauro was lost on the 86th floor. ……
