Chapter 44: Curry Shop Plan
The proprietress of Yasuragi-tei, Leo, and Tauro were having a meeting to discuss the future menu.
"I know the curry is delicious, but it's not profitable.”
What the proprietress was referring to was the price of the spices.
"They're so rare that you have to go to King's Landing to get them, right?”
“I think we can save money by ordering in bulk from Garfish Trading Company since the spices will last a long time and we won't have a problem keeping them in stock."
Tauro answered confidently.
Besides, he also had his own magic storage.
“I see. As long as it's profitable and cheap, I have no problem with it. By the way, this curry is really good, so I think you should open a restaurant specializing in it. Leo, are you willing to buy the bar across the street and open a new one?”

"The bar across the street?"
Leo looked surprised.
“Yes, Yasuragi-tei is happy to do business, but if we add more items and more customers, we won't be able to run the place.”
She had a good point.
They’ve been asking them to add more items to the menu because they want to eat Tauro’s dishes, but if they add too many items, they'll have to do more work, so it might be better to spread them out.
"Do you think the owner of the tavern across the street will sell it to us?"
“He said he was too old and wanted to give it to someone else.”
The proprietress, who seemed to be a good friend of his, answered immediately
"Then it's settled. All that’s left now is the payment…”
“I'll take care of that.”
Tauro had some money from the sale of the magic storage.

"Hey, are you sure? It's not cheap you know?”
Leo had no idea that Tauro had been paid more than he had imagined.
He took the leather bag out of the magic compartment and put it on the table.
“Yes, of course, it's an investment and I will be paid from the proceeds.”
He replied.
“I'm amazed that you can afford to spend so much money at your age."
Leo and the proprietress laughed heartily
When Leo and the proprietress offered the bar owner a lump sum of money, he immediately replied, "Sold! Sold!”
It seems that he wanted to retire comfortably.
"Thank you, proprietress and Mr. Branch Manager. My knees have been so bad lately that it's been hard for me to even stand up."

With the tavern owner's gratitude, the business meeting ended without delay, and the contract was signed.
The renovation began a week later.
Tauro was still sleeping and waking up in the guild room.
He was an E-ranked adventurer with a good amount of money, so he should have a place to live, but he was only ten years old. Leo felt it was safer for him to be within earshot for now.
Tauro had discussed this with Nei.
“If you don't have a specific plan, you can stay in your current room. You're paying your rent. The guild can make money from the spare room and we can protect you, so there's no problem, right?”
That's what he thought.
Now that he had magic storage, there was no reason for Tauro to leave this convenient room since it would not be cramped with his belongings.
In the midst of these busy but relatively peaceful days, a quest came in from the kingdom to the guild.
The quest, which came down to all the guild branches from the area around the royal capital to the city of Saisi, was to "defeat bandits on the highway”.
It was divided into several sections: "Searching for bandits," "Scouting for bandits," and "Defeating a large number of bandits”.
Tauro wasn't sure what to do, but he thought that searching for bandits would be more suitable for him.
When it came to defeating bandits, even though they were the enemy, they were still people, and you never knew what might happen. There was no harm in choosing carefully.
On a side note, he asked Nei.
"The Saïsi branch will send out three groups of three, with a maximum of nine people."
Ad
She told him.
It was the first time he had ever been in a team with others, but he decided to join the quest, as it would be a good experience for him.
