Tauro was helping the guild with their daily work.

After a while, the hustle and bustle in the lobby began to die down as more and more adventurers went off on their quests.

Just as he was looking at the bulletin board to choose a quest, a man who looked like an ordinary person but was not an adventurer entered the room.

Tauro felt a presence, but he didn’t care as he was looking for a quest.

He found out that the man stopped for a moment, but instead of heading for the reception desk, he heard footsteps approaching closely behind him.

He felt blatant malice and turned around in alarm as the presence approached him, and there stood his father.

“What are you doing here after running away from home, you little shit?”

When he realized it was Tauro, he nudged him and tried to punched him.

Tauro quickly dodged the fist with his reflexes.

The father fell due to his own weight and the fact that Tauro evaded the punch.

When he dodged the punch, his father got pissed.

“Who said you could dodge? You son of a bitch!”

His father made to grab him but Tauro dodged it, too.

This time, his father staggered from the momentum.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

Nei, the receptionist, chastised the man.

The rest of the adventurers joined in.

“Violence is not allowed in the guild, old man!”

Tauro’s father had no choice but to calm down, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Where do you stay? Pack up your things, we’re leaving!”

He yelled at Tauro and grabbed him by the wrist.

But Tauro quickly shook him off.

“I’m not going back there.” Tauro replied firmly.

Surprised by his son’s defiance, his father lost his temper again

“Who the hell do you think you are talking to?”

He made an attempt to punch him again.

Tauro dodged the punch again in disgust.

The man hasn’t changed at all.

Tauro sighed.

He was tempted to kick his father’s staggering butt, but this was the guild, and violence was not allowed, so he held back.

“Staying here will cause trouble for everyone, so let’s go outside and talk.”

“Who are you to tell me what to do?” 

His father started to say, but when he realized that Nei, the receptionist, and the remaining adventurers were staring at him, he relented and obeyed.

Nei was worried about Tauro and wanted to come with him, but Tauro shook his head and refused.

It’s a matter between father and son, he couldn’t bother Nei.

As soon as they moved to the guild-run restaurant next door, “Yasuragitei,” 

As soon as they sat down, his father said.

“What happened to the money from the mithril sale? You donated it without permission! What belongs to you belongs to me, your parent! Give me the rest along with what you’ve earned so far!”

His father yelled at him.

Hah.

Tauro knew this was going to happen.

The rumor must have reached the village.

He had probably forgotten about Tauro until now. But since a lot of money was involved, he seemed to have regained his parental status.

“I used some of the money from the mithril sale and donated the rest to charity. What I have earned so far is my own and I have no intention of giving it to you.”

Tauro politely declined.

The words made his father lose his temper again and he grabbed him across the table, but Tauro shook his hand away.

“You heartless bastard! Don’t you think you owe me as your parent?”

He seemed to have learned his lesson and this time he appealed to him emotionally.

“All I remember is being kicked and punched every day.”

Of course, Tauro was not moved at all by this emotional charade.

“That’s just discipline! And I fed you every day!”

“Wasn’t that the least you could do as a parent? I remember there were times when you didn’t do that.”

He was being sloppy and persistent, so Tauro replied sarcastically.

Then, two men entered the room and started walking towards them.

“Soak, did you get the money from your son?”

It all started to make sense to him

Tauro had a hunch.

“I’m about to get it. Please give me a little more time.”

His father was blatantly frightened and defensive.

Tauro wondered how he should approach the situation.
