Chapter 139: The group’s return home

Tauro and his group returned to the village of Dansas around noon after an absence of about three weeks.

When they arrived in front of the Merchants’ Association, Tauro, who had taken care of the goods Leada had purchased in the city of O’Circus, took them out of the “magic storage” and piled them up inside the Association.

When Leeda reported to Marches about the exclusive contract with the mountain village, Tauro’s camping supplies and the successful transaction with the Kishiwanda Trading Company, he immediately thanked Tauro for waiting for him and offered to sign the contract for Tauro’s idea.

“Oh, after I report to the guild, I’ll go to the commercial guild to complete the procedures, so please we’ll discuss the contract and other matters afterwards…!”

As if to escape from the pressure of Marches, Tauro replied and headed for the guild with Aeris and the others.

“I missed the guild of Dansas.”

“Yeah, this place hasn’t changed a bit, either.”

Shin and Rumeya walked into the guild, giving off the vibe of a place they hadn’t visited in years.

Then Aeris and Tauro followed in.

“How can things change in three weeks?”

Aeris made the obvious comment.

“Oh? If it isn’t “Black Golden Wings”. I thought I hadn’t seen you around lately, but you’re still alive.”

“It’s true. Have you been on a long term quest?”

“I thought you’d moved elsewhere.”

As the four of us entered the guild, the other adventurers approached us.

“We’ve been on a long quest.”

Tauro answered the voices and headed straight for the reception desk.

“Welcome back, Team “Black Golden Wings”. I see you’ve finished.”

The receptionist, Kannes, greeted Tauro and his team and began the procedure.

Chloe came out of the branch manager’s office. Perhaps she heard the voices in the lobby.

“Tauro-kun, you guys have returned safely. I thought something had happened to you since you were running behind schedule.”

Chloe was relieved to see the four of them safe and sound.

The four of them were locally formed adventurers who would be the future of the Dansas branch.

The client was also a merchant association that contributes to the village, and the guild would’ve lost a lot of money if something happened to them, so she was really worried.

“I’m sorry for the trouble. There were a few unexpected things that happened along the way, so we went over our schedule, but we got the client’s permission, so there’s no problem.”

Tauro reported directly to Chloe and the receptionist, Cannes, said

“This is going to be a long report… can you help me, representative?”

She chuckled and prepared several report forms.

“Ah…Aeris. I’d like to go to the Commercial Guild as well, can you help with the report?”

Tauro asked Aeris, since he had to submit documents to the Commercial Guild as well.

Normally, the report is just a confirmation of what is automatically recorded on the tag worn by the adventurer, a verbal explanation and a simple check of the quest completion items by the receptionist, but if something unexpected happens, the receptionist has to ask from scratch and fill out the form.

It would be great to have someone who could write help.

But Shin and Rumeya couldn’t read or write very well.

Tauro thought that it might be a good idea to teach them how to read and write for the future.

“…I understand. You have a lot of procedures to take care of over there. I’ll take care of this one.”

Aeris nodded and accepted.

Shin and Rumeya looked at each other strangely and said.

“Then, Aeris, we’ll leave the rest to you!”

Then they tried to go to the “Resting Pavilion” across the street to have a meal, much to Aeris’s displeasure.

When Tauro went to the Commercial Guild, he had a hard time with the procedures.

There were many things to register: a magic lantern, a cloth that wouldn’t get wet, a tent made of it, rain gear, mayonnaise, mustard, French fries and popcorn.

The guild was thrilled and since it was a small branch, the branch manager and all the office staff had to be mobilized to complete the registration process.

“I don’t know about food, as I’m not an expert, but the idea of a water-repellent cloth a this lantern is nothing short of genius!”

The branch manager moved his hand in praise of Giro Sugar, the name of this registrant.

Tauro was inwardly quite happy with the praise, since he had confidence in both the lantern and the cloth that would not get wet.

But still, it was the mayonnaise that he imagined would be a hit with both the common people and the nobility.

This, along with mustard, should be a hit.

This village is becoming especially famous for its fried food from the Dwarf’s Inn, so we ate the fried food with mayonnaise and mustard, along with some chilled drinks from the refrigerator.

This would be a devilishly delicious dish for fried food lovers.

Tauro was underage and could not drink alcohol, but he was looking forward to the future when it would be mass-produced in the mountain village.
