The female warrior gave her name as Ragune.

She was not from the lizard tribe as Aeris had pointed out.

“I’m not a lizard, but a dragon.”

“Eh!? The dragon tribe is a very rare race. Now that I think about it, the lizard tribe don’t have horns. It’s certainly a characteristic of the dragon tribe.”

Aeris was again surprised.

“I don’t like being mistaken for a lizard tribe, but It does happen at times.”

Ragune gave Aeris an understanding look.

“So you’re not from around here then. Why are you here?”

Tauro asked Ragune the obvious question.

“I’ve heard rumors that there are many rare and fine medicinal herbs growing wild here that make good medicine. There’s an epidemic in my village right now and I came here to look for something that could be a cure for it.”

“I see. Well, if you tell me what kind of herbs you are looking for, I will find them for you.”

My abilities include “knowledge of plants” and “true eyes” can link to it.

If it’s around here, I can find it.

“I see! But how will I pay you the reward? You’re adventurers, right? It’s against the law to take on work without going through the guild.”

“This is not a job. We’re just helping. So it’s not something that should be done through a guild.”

Tauro replied with a smile.

“Thank you! Ha! You say that now and then later ask for my body as a reward! Kuh! Kill!”

Apparently, Ragune has a prejudice against men.

Tauro laughed, but since she seemed to be serious, he decided to make a promise.

“Here’s what we’ll do, since Aeris can use contract magic, I promise to help you for free, and we’ll make a contract!”

When Tauro suggested this, Aeris said.

“Fine, but I’ll keep it simple.”

Aeris then used her contract magic after getting between Tauro and Ragune, cast a spell, and the two signed the contract.

“Then, with this, I can help you without charge.”

Tauro nodded to Ragune, and she finally nodded back.

“Then, thank you.”

According to Ragune, the disease prevalent in the dragon people’s village is slightly different from that prevalent among humans.

It’s a deadly disease that only occurs very rarely among the dragon people.

Symptoms include high fever, nausea, aching joints, inflammation and sores on the parts where scales grow, gradual weakening of the body, and finally death.

Certainly, in humans, there’s no inflammatory disease because there are no scales.

“Because that’s special….”

Tauro took out some medicinal herbs from the magic storage that he had collected and stocked from before.

All of them are valuable herbs with a high price tag.

“In addition to these, there are some herbs that I’ve been curious about for a while.”

A bright red herb was added to the list.

“Is that fire dragon grass? But that’s said to be a grass that has no efficacy whatsoever.”

Ragune seemed knowledgeable and pointed out.

“The description says that it’s a medicinal grass that doesn’t have any efficacy on its own.”

“Fire dragon grass is a medicinal herb? This is the first time I‘ve heard of it.”

Ragune was skeptical.

“I don’t know either, so I’m going to make a potion from these ingredients.”

With that said, he also took out the potion-making tools from the magic storage and began working on the spot.

While Tauro was working over time, Aeris asked Ragune about various things.

The dragon people are rare and she had a lot to ask.

“Is it true that you can turn into a dragon?”

“That’s just a legend. We’re not so different from your race.”

Ragune laughed and answered, probably because she was often asked this question.

“So, what about the story that there are skills unique to dragon people?”

“Well, that depends on the dragon person, but I have the skill of ‘dragon knight.”

“That’s your skill? Sounds amazing! What kind of skill is that!?”

“You’ll learn a Knight’s ability to increase durability with light equipment without being so heavily equipped, although it’s close. Also, agility and jumping ability will increase dramatically. You’ll also learn the ability to breathe fire and snowstorms.”

“Wow! The “Dragon Knight” sounds powerful. So, where do you come from, Ragune?”

“I come from the dragon forest in the north. It’s a long way from here, but I’m confident in my legs, so I came here while gathering information.”

“The Dragon Forest? I’ve never heard of the place.”

“Because that’s a name that only we the dragon tribe call it. In general, it’s somewhere in the Antas Mountains.”

Ragune wasn’t sure where she lived.

Well, it could mean that we were not yet trustworthy enough to be told.

Time passed as they talked, and Tauro finished his work.

“It’s done. As I thought, I’ve appraised the effects of this potion and it’s effective against the symptoms of the disease that Ragune-san mentioned.”

Tauro handed it to Ragune.

“I’ll show you how to mix it and you can make it when you get back to the village.”

Tauro took out a large amount of expensive herbs from his magic storage and handed them to Ragune.

“So many! Thank you, Tauro-san! Ku! Kill! Ah. I’m sorry, I’m just in the habit of saying that.”

Oh, that’s your habit?

Tauro was relieved to find that Ragune’s line, which had been bothering him, was just a habit.
