Chapter 83: A New Encounter

The misdeeds of the Damaski Merchant Association came to light with the testimony of a major merchant association, the Garfish Merchant Association and the Vice President of the Commercial Guild.

This was due to the fact that Ed had called the deputy head of the Commercial Guild to discuss the opening of the Marches Chamber of Commerce and Damaski had accidentally come to dig his own grave, but thanks to this, the Commercial Guild officially punished Damaski Chamber of Commerce for this matter, which was not going to become public.

As a result, Damaski's business was suspended for a certain period of time and the punishment itself was light, but the act of deceiving a merchant led to the loss of trust from other business partners, so it was impossible to predict how much damage it would cause once the business reopened.

Well, he got what he deserved, so I have no sympathy for him.

Marches was very grateful to Tauro for this.

If Tauro hadn't provided him with the money and connections, he would’ve been bankrupt and finished as a merchant.

But because of the contract with Tauro, everything had to be kept secret.

He would have liked to sing Tauro's praises like a bard throughout the village of Dansas and tell people about his kindness, but if he didn't want that, it couldn’t be helped.

As a merchant, Marches would honor his contracts.

Taking a closer look back, the money he borrowed out wasn’t low....

The village of Dansas was steadily growing.

The number of adventurers visiting the village increased.

The reputation of the village spread throughout the neighborhood and young people began to gather from all over the other villages.

Sensing this atmosphere, there were plans for a commercial guild to establish a branch in the village.

It can be said that the village is no longer as desolate as it once was.

Today, too, there were new customers coming to the inn.

Tauro was already a regular customer at the Dwarf's Inn, so he was well aware of the comings and goings.

There were more and more young people coming to the inn, who didn't have the money to try their luck in the city, but dreamed of success.

It's a good trend.

Of course, many of these young people will save their money here and go to bigger cities in search of more success. However, there will always be those who settle down and become part of this village.

This will encourage greater development.

Tauro thought that he would continue to build a village where young people would stay and find it hard to leave.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a second?"

While Tauro was alone and lost in thought, a girl spoke to him.

She was a little older than him in terms of age.

She had long golden hair, red eyes, was taller than Tauro and wore loose-fitting, priestly-style clothes with a white design.

Tauro thought she would be beautiful in the future, but he also thought she was a little overbearing, which he didn't like.

"What is it?"

Tauro responded without showing the slightest hint of such thoughts.

“I'm an adventurer, but I've never been here before. Please show me the guild.”

The girl seemed to think he was an innkeeper.

"If you go outside and walk straight down the main street, you'll see a blue-roofed building that's the Adventurer's Guild. You’ll notice it right away."

Tauro didn't feel offended and told her straightforwardly.

“I'm asking you to guide me, do you understand your job?”

Oh, I think she’s mistaken me for an employee.

“I'll show you around, but I have some preparations to make, so please wait a moment. I'm going to the adventurer's guild either way."

"Hey, you're making a customer wait!"

I ignored the girl and went back to my room, put on my usual leather armor, put on my small sword and prepared to go out.

Shin and Rumeya call out.

"Tauro, are you ready to go?"

"Yes, there’s a young lady who needs directions.”

“Of course it’s okay, but directions?”

“Yes, she seems to be in the same line of work, so I'll show her the way to the guild.”

"I see what you mean, all right."

They nodded.

“Why are you making me wait just to take me to the guild?”

The girl was in a furious mode.

"Sorry I made you wait."

“I waited a long time just for a little guidance..."

She turned around angrily at the sound of the boy's voice and saw a boy in leather armor standing there with two adults in tow.

"Let's go then."

"...what the hell is that look?”

The girl was so upset by the boy's attire and the presence of the two adults that she could barely contain herself.

"This is my normal attire, so don't worry about it. These two are my colleagues, Shin and Rumeya."

"Nice to meet you, young lady."

"Co-workers of the innkeepers...?"

“Eh? What do you mean?”

Shin and Rumeya pointed to themselves and said, "Innkeepers? They were puzzled, not understanding the situation.

Then Tauro answered.

“I'm an adventurer just like you.”

“You’re kidding!”

The girl was surprised and stared at Tauro.
