Chapter 381: A Specialty Proposal for the Territory
Count Graunewald was greatly surprised by Tauro’s proposal to farm the flaming crab, which was currently a nuisance in the city of Caxart.
“Tauro, are you out of your mind? It’s absurd to farm a monster that has been disturbing the production of salt, the main source of income for this city!”
Tauro thought it would be better for him to try them rather than to explain them, so he quickly brought out a series of crab dishes one after another from his magic storage and lined them up in front of his father, Count Graunewald.
“And this is?”
Count Graunewald looks doubtful.
“This is a crab dish made from the flaming crab.”
“A flaming crab?!”
“Yes. It is precisely because this dish is so delicious that I would like to recommend that it be farmed, Father. ─ ─ For now, please give it a try.”

It was recommended by my son.
Count Graunewald made up his mind and started with the crab tempura.
“……!”
Count Graunewald silently opened his eyes wide.
However, without making any comments, he started on the other dishes.
Each time he nodded his head, the experience continued over and over again…
“…I understand what Tauro wants to say. This is indeed delicious. Incredibly delicious! I can see that this could become a specialty dish for this town. But the problem is cultivating monsters. Isn’t that risky?”
A natural question, Tauro explained the dangers of the flaming crab and also explained the treatment.
“My goodness! Is it really that simple?!”
“Yes, it is. I think we can now farm them relatively safely. However, monsters are still monsters, so in order to maintain safety, I think it would be best for the Count family to manage the cultivation itself for the time being, and wholesale it to the public.”
After Tauro finished his explanation, Count Graunewald took a breath and then,

“My kid is so amazing. Hahaha!”
He began laughing.
“Father?”
“No, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. No one but you would think of eating the loathsome monster of the salt lake, much less making it a local specialty. Once again, I am very happy to have you as my son, Tauro, ha ha ha!”
Count Graunewald must have been very happy because he slapped Tauro on the shoulder,
“Isn’t my son amazing!”*
He boasted to Ankh.
“Yes, yes. I’m happy that you’ve become my boss’s son, and I’m glad he’s my friend, too, wahaha!”
Ankh gave a wry smile at Count Graunewald’s doting behavior but showed understanding.
“I’ll have a facility built beside the salt lake right away. But I’m in trouble… Right now, I’m directly in charge of this city, but I can’t keep doing that forever. That’s why I need to appoint a Mayor… Caxart is an important base for my territory, so I want to appoint a trustworthy and capable person to be its mayor, but that person is in charge of other towns and villages… Who should I appoint as town mayor…?”

Count Graunewald mused.
“We’d like to take our own tour around the territory, and including this. If we find any good candidates, we will recommend them to you, father.”
Tauro suggested.
“I see, that would be a great help. I’ll be counting on you as my territorial inspector, Tauro.”
“Yes, sir! And, Father. Here. ……”
Tauro took a number of bags from the magic storage and placed them in front of Count Graunewald.
“What’s this?”
“These are the seeds of crops that could become a new specialty of this territory.”
“Crops?”
“Yes. I have prepared some seeds including the Rigaud fruit, which produces the sweetest berries ever, as well as the equally sweet and delicious Satsuma potatoes, strawberry seeds, and Tomoro seeds.”
“How did you get these things?”
Count Graunute wondered as he picked up the seeds and potatoes and examines them.
“It’s the ‘creation magic’ I mentioned before.”
“…… I see. But that’s dangerous magic, isn’t it? Don’t exert yourself, Tauro.”
Count Graunewald feared for Tauro’s safety before he was satisfied and let it go.
“Yes, this time it was made relatively safely so there’s no need to worry.”
Tauro answered with a smile, but as a father, he was concerned because he knew from the tales of adventure he had heard from Tauro and Ankh that he had often been known to do reckless things.
“I will gratefully accept this and have it raised in the capital city. ──”Creation Magic”, huh… What an incredible magic. To begin with, the idea of creating improved seeds is also something that no one but Tauro would have thought of.”
Count Graunewald was again impressed by Tauro.
“The leader’s intelligence is totally different from those other people. Wahaha!”
Ankh praised his trusty companion boastfully.
“Yes, he’s right. Tauro does some unexpected things, so it’s fun for us to be around him!”
Ragune also boasted, tapping Tauro on the shoulder.
“Tauro-sama is wonderful, he can do anything! I’ll accompany you wherever you go!”
And Zion, with increasing adoration, began to worship Tauro
“Guys, this is embarrassing, stop it!”
Tauro felt embarrassed at being praised and made gestures to stop everyone.
Oh ……! I think I just thought of something …….
Tauro saw one possibility in the praise he received from everyone.
It was an eye-opener that made me realize that I had also been trapped in stereotypes.

Tauro was itching to try it out.
