Chapter 42: Homecoming

The day came for Tauro to return to the city of Saïsi.

It was a few days after the end of his contract as an instructor of Reversi.

He had been asked by Garfish if it would be possible to set up a production base for Reversi in the capital.

Therefore, it took several days for them to have a meeting.

Tauro had a lot of trouble with this meeting.

He didn’t want to threaten the jobs that had been created in Saïsi by having a manufacturing base in the city.

So, as a compromise, he decided to have the capital produce some of the luxury discs for the rich and to have a top-notch craftsman in the capital make a copy of the limited edition discs.

The demand for limited edition discs is especially high in the royal capital.

There’s a limit to how much Tauro can make by himself, and he can leave that part to them.

Apart from that, the decision-making power ostensibly rests with the inventor, Mauve and the branch manager, Leo.
So Tauro “agreed” to talk with them later and persuade them.

As an apology for the delay due to the discussion, the Garfish Trading Company agreed to provide a carriage to take them home.

“And you’re sure you’re okay with this, Tauro-dono?”

Garfish had been making this confirmation for a while now.

In fact, Tauro gave away his magic storage backpack to Garfish at a discount.

At first, he tried to give it to Mina, but she was very adamant about refusing it.

However, since he had gained the ability to storage magic, he no longer needed it.

So, he decided to sell it to Garfish Trading Company, who had been helping him with his stay in the capital and the sales of Reversi.

Garfish had been wanting this backpack, the Magic Storage (Large), for a long time, but the price was too high and he was worried about it.

Then, Tauro offered him a 60% discount.

From a businessman’s point of view, it was unthinkable to sell a new item for less than its cost.

It was a one-of-a-kind item from a famous magician and if he wanted to resell it, he could only make a profit.

Of course, Tauro wouldn’t resell it, but this was a strange situation, and Garfish asked to take it at a discount of 30%.

“It’s really okay.
I hope you and Mauve will continue to have a good relationship.”

“I understand.
Please leave the sales of Reversi to us, the Garfish Trading Company!”

Garfish answered strongly.

“Thank you very much for your help.”

After greeting him, the carriage departed.

The return trip would be made by a single horse-drawn carriage from the royal city, including the coachman, a merchant from the merchant association, Tauro and Mina, and three D+ rank adventurers from the royal city.

There was not a single commodity in the back of the cart, so everyone rode in the carriage.

Nominally, it was to take Tauro and Mina back to Saïsi, but it was simply a result of cost-cutting since all the goods were in Tauro’s magic storage.

At a rest stop on the way back, Tauro overheard a disturbing story from a garrison soldier who identified himself as an adventurer.

It seems that a group of bandits has been active on the highway lately.

He heard that they’d once fought with the garrison soldiers, but they were well taken care of and escaped.

Could it be the bandits from the trip to King’s Landing?

For now, Tauro would have to be careful on the way back.

According to the soldier, there was a discussion among the higher-ups to collaborate with the adventurer’s guild and they might send out a request for reconnaissance and defeating the bandits in the near future.

The Saïsi branch may also be participating in the quest.

What will he do if a quest comes up? He thought about it, but since he wouldn’t know until it came out, Tauro decided to forget about it.

Other than that, nothing happened to Tauro and his group and they finished the seven days of their journey without incident.

The nostalgic city of Saisi seemed more lively than it had been a month ago, but after seeing the royal capital, it seemed to be a peaceful city to Tauro.

The carriage arrived in front of the Chamber of Commerce and after Tauro took his belongings out of the magic storage and indoors, he was about to head to the guild with Mina to report, but Paulo stopped him and the merchant from the headquarters in front of the Chamber of Commerce and Paulo decided to talk about the limited edition of Tauro’s Reversi.

So only Mina went to the guild first.

“Tauro, you’re back!”

He heard a nostalgic voice from behind him.

When he turned around, he saw Nei standing there with long brown hair, dark eyes, and wearing the uniform of a guild employee.

“It’s been a while, Nei-san!”

“How was the royal capital? Were you okay? Did you teach the noblemen well? Oh, did you buy that leather armor? It’s nice.
It looks good on you.
And…”

“Calm down, Nei-san.
I’ll talk to you when I get back to the guild.”

“Okay.
I’m glad you’re okay.
I’ll see you later.”

With that, Nei went into the Yasuragi-tei to have lunch.

Seeing her familiar back, Tauro realized that he was back.
