Chapter 307: Resurrection of the Black Gold Wings

Using Ragune's 'Dimension Corridor' and Tauro's 'Spatial Transfer,' the entire team visited the dragonfolk village and arrived at the residence of Ragune's brother, Drago. It had been a while since they last visited.

Before they could fully indulge in the nostalgia, the defense squad quickly responded to multiple intruders from outside and rushed to Drago's residence.

"We thought it might be Tauro-dono, but since there were multiple reactions, we came to confirm. Welcome back to the village, Tauro-dono, and everyone else."

The captain said, leading the defense squad, and then returned to his duties.

"Now then, shall we meet up with the escort team following me and head to the dungeon?"

Tauro, accustomed to the role of leading, took the lead with everyone.

"The dungeon... I've heard that only a select few, including the country's knight order and top-class adventurers, are allowed in, so I'm looking forward to it."

Ank seemed more excited than Tauro had expected.

"Ank, did you say you're coming because you want to explore the dungeon?"

Tauro recalled Ank's behavior before he arrived and questioned him.

"...Well, when it comes to dungeons, they are treasure troves of legends and fairy tales that even kids know about. Even as a mercenary, I've always wanted to go and see it in various ways. It's not an experience you can have often, so I had no choice but to follow the leader!"

Ank confessed nonchalantly.

"You had a surprisingly childish side, huh?"

Tauro was amazed at Ank, but considering that just going through the Slime Layer and the 'Rest Area' was thrilling enough for a first experience, he understood why they were heading to the Adventurer Guild.

At the entrance of the Adventurer Guild in the dragonfolk village...

Members, including the escort team captain Tsugumu, had gathered there, seemingly having heard about their arrival.

"Welcome back, Tauro-dono. We came running after hearing from the defense squad. You're going to pick up Salman-san and Saran immediately, right? And your comrades are coming along too, I suppose?"

Captain Tsugumu guessed the situation accurately.

"I'm sorry. They all wanted to come to the dungeon, so I brought them along. Haha..."

Feeling guilty for bringing the entire team while being escorted, Tauro apologized.

"It's just a pickup today, right? In that case, there's no problem. We are prepared for emergencies as well. Besides, it seems like everyone has some confidence in their skills. Ragune seems to have improved her skills without us even knowing."

Tsugumu answered with a smile, seeming to know Ragune well.

"Then, after finishing the procedure at the guild, let's head there right away."

With a smooth agreement, Tauro was relieved and quickly completed the necessary formalities at the guild. Then they headed to the dungeon.

During the journey, the members of the escort team and Ragune were talking about the shield that Tauro had given to her, bragging about its features.

"Ragune! Is that shield the one-of-a-kind 'Mirror Magic Turtle Shield' made by the 'Dragon Knight Armory'?"

"Haha! This is a one-of-a-kind item that my Tauro further improved for me!"

Ragune had deliberately taken out the shield from her magic storage even though they were not in the dungeon yet. Now Tauro understood that she wanted to show it off to her fellow clan members.

"No wonder! That's why it was gone when I went to the shop!"

"I'm so jealous! I was saving up for a reward to buy it when I joined the support team for the exploration group!"

"What's it like to use, Ragune? Is it really good?"

The members of the escort team gathered around Ragune's shield while walking.

"Of course, it's light, sturdy, and just amazing! Besides, with Tauro's modifications, it has special abilities, so I can protect Tauro and the others with it!"

Ragune proudly boasted to the escort team.

As a demonstration, while walking, Ragune showed the shield's special ability to the escort team.

"Area Defense!"

As Ragune said that and infused the shield with mana, a translucent shield expanded over a large area.

"Wow!"

The escort team was impressed.

"It's similar to the ability of a high-ranking job like a Holy Shield Knight!"

"While it's not as extensive, it's just the right size to protect a team. It's an amazing shield!"

"I envy you, Ragune, being able to use this at your level!"

The escort team honestly praised Ragune's shield.

Ragune was beaming with happiness, receiving compliments for the shield Tauro had given her.

"That's right, Tauro is amazing! That's why I'm happy to be able to team up with everyone again."

Ragune answered with a radiant smile.

Ank, walking beside her, nodded in agreement.

Eris seemed lost in thought but nodded in response to Ragune's words.

"Today is just an escort for Tauro, but the revival of Team 'Black Gold Wings.'"

Eris said, uplifting everyone.

Seeing Eris trying too hard to maintain her composure, Tauro was concerned about her health. However, her complexion seemed fine, so he decided to finish the mission quickly and return.
