Chapter 43: A Month of Rage

Tauro had been busy since his return to the city of Saïsi.

He had left the limited editions to the artisans in the capital, but Paulo suggested that he make one-of-a-kind pieces.

This would add more value than the current one and since it was a one-of-a-kind production, Tauro could do whatever he wanted.

Of course, it couldn’t be released under Tauro’s own name, so they decided to put an imprint of the fictional maker “Gilo Sugar” on it.　

First of all, he made five original pieces, three of which he gave to Prince Fleue, the Prime Minister and Viscount of Saisi. Then the other two he gave to the Garfish Trading Company to place in their stores as the Sugar brand which would later become famous in the capital as a “phantom sugar brand” that was difficult to obtain.

As an adventurer, Tauro had been promoted to E-rank, so he was having a hard time getting used to new quests.

In his first E-rank quest, he had tried and failed to defeat a goblin solo.

The cause was a numerical disadvantage.

Against five goblins, he took two of them down by surprise using “Presence detection” and ” Presence block,” but he was almost surrounded by the remaining three, so he ran away before they could surround him.

Because of this, he failed to get the goblin’s right ear and the magic stone that is collected when you defeat a goblin.

Either way, the quota was three or more, so it was all the same…

Nei consoled him by saying that it was common to make mistakes on your first quest.

Tauro thought about how to get around this failure and came up with one possibility: prestige, which he thought was a subtle ability.

Tauro immediately resumed his quest to defeat the goblins and soon after his departure, he found a group of six goblins.

Tauro immediately put his plan into action.

First, he killed two of the goblins with a series of bow and arrow shots in a surprise attack and then approached them.

The other two goblins cowered further and Tauro took advantage of this and slashed at them.

The remaining two goblins were taken down by Tauro before they could even resist.

Thanks to this, he was able to defeat the goblins without difficulty, which would have been hard for a solo player.

Tauro also put a lot of effort into developing the menu for Yasuragi-tei.

There were a large number of ingredients, spices, and sugar that he bought in the capital.

The first of these he made was curry, the national dish of the Japanese people.

Although he had “knowledge” of eating it in his previous life, he had never eaten it here and since there was rice, he really wanted to try it.

Tauro was suddenly motivated, but the development of the curry powder was more difficult than he had imagined and he had a hard time mixing it.

The kitchen of the guild was filled with the distinctive smell of spices that danced day and night and when it leaked out into the surrounding area, there were complaints about the stench.

After half a month of sweat, tears and snot, the curry was finally ready.

*

One day, a month after returning home from a busy day, Tauro was invited to the residence of the Viscount of Saisi.

It was an offer for instruction on Reversi.

The Viscount of Saisi couldn’t resist meeting his own Reversi genius who had made a name for himself among the nobility of the royal capital.

When he went to the royal capital, he was asked by the senior nobles.

“How is Satou-dono?”

He was asked.

Apparently, the boy had become famous without his knowledge.

At the time, he replied, “Yes, of course he’s fine!” 

But later, he heard from people around him that he has a close relationship with the Fifth Prince and the Prime Minister.

By the way, he was given a limited edition of Reversi to display, but he forgot about it while he was in the territory because of all the mithril ore related things.

The Viscount of Saisi met Tauro Satou.

He felt like he’d met the boy before, or was it just his imagination?

But he had forgotten that it was the boy who had discovered the first mithril ore in the past.

After a brief lesson in Reversi, Tauro left and Viscount Saisi was so busy with the work he had put aside for Reversi that he soon forgot about the Satou boy.
