Chapter 212: The Culprit Behind the Curse After seeing the others off, Tauro remained inside the shop in Dareder. He concealed himself with [Presence Concealment] while monitoring the surrounding area through [Presence Detection]. The store stood on a quiet side street with relatively little traffic, though people still passed regularly once the town became busy […]
Chapter 211: The Cursed Stone Tauro approached the polished stone among the shop’s merchandise. “Tauro, don’t touch it!” Aeris shouted. Ragune and Ankh reacted immediately. “What’s wrong?” Ragune asked. “Something about that stone feels revolting,” Aeris said. Riryo looked toward it as well. “I’ve never seen it before. The surface is polished, but is there
Chapter 210: A Quest with Many Demands One morning, the four members of Black-Gold Wings stood before the quest board in the Dansas Adventurers’ Guild. “Ah, here’s one we can take!” Aeris pulled an E-rank request from the board and showed it to the others. “Let’s see… Escort the client to and from Dareder, sort
Chapter 209: A Quiet Evening at Home Two weeks had passed since Tauro and Ankh began sharing a house. During the first few days, Aeris visited often, and Ragune naturally followed her.

Chapter 207: Promotion Assessment Chloe, the Dansas branch manager, and Shiroi, the deputy branch manager, carefully reviewed the extraordinary results Black-Gold Wings had achieved during the limited-time free quest.

Chapter 206: The Reborn Black-Gold Wings’ True Strength The captain of the Dareder territorial troops, who had narrowly escaped death, approached the adventurers who had rescued his unit. “Thank the gods!

Chapter 205: The Rescue Battle Tauro informed the others that the retreating soldiers and the monsters pursuing them were steadily approaching. “Ragune, have you recovered enough?

Chapter 204: The Small-Fry Team Black-Gold Wings now had four members, but Ragune was still only F rank. As a result, the team continued to focus on medicinal-herb gathering, kobold subjugation, goblin extermination whenever Tauro detected a group with [Presence Detection], and G-rank community requests around Dansas. Other adventurers therefore began treating Black-Gold Wings as
Chapter 203: Moving House The group was returning from the forest after completing their quest when Tauro asked Ankh a practical question. “Where are you staying at the moment, Ankh?” “Me?
