Chapter 72: The Power of a Secret Weapon

The next day, Tauro was in the backyard of the inn, drying the grass that they had all ground together with wind magic using spirit summoning, before going on the quest to the neighboring village.

This is when spirit magic comes in handy.

However, Tauro could only use it at the level of daily life magic.

Tauro asked the spirit to dry the grasses while he slept.

This is how he always had his laundry dried and on hot days, he had the wind blowing on him all the time.

It’s almost limitless, as long as you can provide the magic power.

If you can’t provide it, there’s a possibility that you might lose consciousness due to magic depletion, but not so far with Tauro.

At dawn, Tauro woke up early, made sure the grass he had ground was dry and began to grind it into a perfect powder.

Shin and Rumeya, who had woken up at the sound, joined him in the work.

Since they didn’t have much time before their departure, Tauro decided to give them some hamburgers that he had saved in his magic storage to feed them for breakfast.

“What the hell is this?”

“Is this the white bread I heard about?”

“Is that what this is? It’s soft and delicious. The meat is tender and the vegetables are crunchy… it’s the first time I’ve tasted such food”

They were so impressed that they were literally crying as they ate the hamburger.

Tauro knew they would love it but didn’t know it was enough to make them cry.

He was so used to eating them that he’d forgotten about them, but he was happy to remember the reaction of the adventurers when he first served them at the nostalgic Yasuragi-tei.

After Shin and Rumeya finished eating, they began to turn the mortar with all their energy and in no time, a large amount of powder was produced.

Tauro took care of them and this time he took a bun with bean paste out of the magic storage and fed it to them.

They were again impressed by the sweet and delicious bean jam.

“I’ll follow you for the rest of my life, Tauro-kun!”

Tauro politely declined and collected all the powder in the magic storage and headed to the guild to meet up with Bob.

In front of the guild, a carriage had been prepared.

It seemed that the client had prepared it this time.

It’s not often you get this kind of treatment for a single quest, so I guess you could say they were anxious, maybe it was that urgent.

The four of them hurriedly got into the carriage.

Momo-san was there to see them off.

“Tauro-kun, take care of Bob for me.”

Momo waved him off.

Bob laughed and pointed out to her. 

“It’s usually the other way around.”

“Because you’re unreliable.”

“That’s the end of the story! I’m off then.”

Bob waved his hand to her.

Tauro also waved his hand to Momo saying.

“It’ll be fine” 

The carriage quickly picked up speed and left the village of Dansas in a flash.

In the carriage, Tauro was proposing his plan to Bob.

“Will this powder work on the killer ants?”

Bob asked, holding the white powder that Tauro had offered him.

“That’s the plan. You can use wind magic right, Bob-san?”

“Yeah, I’m still at the beginner level, but I can use it.”

“That’s fine. The three of us will spread this powder, and you will manipulate the wind.”

The explanation of Tauro’s mission to eradicate the killer ants began.

After half a day of riding in the carriage, they were pretty close to the village.

As they were passing through the countryside, they saw a black mass in a part of the field.

Tauro looked closely and saw a group of killer ants.

It was exactly when they were raiding the field!

Bob had the coachman stop the carriage and the four of them got out.

The three of them scattered the powder of their secret weapon in the air, and Bob used wind magic to create a breeze.

As Tauro said, it’s just a weak wind with zero killing power.

The wind picks up the powder and sends it to hit the group of killer ants.

Then, to their surprise, the group of killer ants began to thrash around on the spot and then died.

As soon as Tauro sees this, he rushes to the corpse of the killer ant and collects only the white powder with his magic storage.

“The ability to kill has been confirmed. Let’s head for the village!”

The three of them, who had been stunned by its power, hurriedly nodded at Tauro’s voice and got into the carriage urging the coachman to hurry.
