Tauro, after greeting all the people in the village, disappeared from the village without being seen off by anyone other than Aeris and the others.

This was, of course, because Ragune’s “Dimensional Corridor” can’t be openly revealed, but for those who did not know what was going on, there were a lot of surprises and unfounded rumors because the team “Black Golden Wings” had just risen to the D rank zone.

“he’s been on a long disappearance before. I’m sure he’s off somewhere this time, too.”

“No, I heard that this time he officially left the team and disappeared.”

“Really!? The youngest adventurer in this village, and he’s on his way up!?”

“Hey, hey, hey. Black Gold, right? You guys didn’t kick Tauro out, did you?”

A higher-ranking adventurer in the Adventurers’ Guild, who recognized Tauro’s ability, spoke to Aeris and the others who were just there before the lower-ranking adventurers started spreading rumors of his departure.

“Don’t be silly! Tauro has his reasons …and we’ve decided to send him on his way.”

Aeris retorted grimly, but sadly.

‘…From now on, I’ll be leading the team as the leader of the ‘ Black Golden Wings’, so please support me when I join you on a quest.”

Aeris bowed to the adventurers in the guild lobby.

“Oh…okay…when you are in the D rank zone, there will be a lot more support quests for the higher ranks. We’ll have a lot of opportunities to work together.”

The leader of the D rank team, who had previously helped Bob and the others defeat the orcs when they were rescuing them, approached Aeris.

“Don’t deal with people who spread rumors. We know that.”

The B-ranked teams “White night” and “Zekei”, who somehow guessed the situation, also approached Aeris.

At this, even the adventurers from the E-rank team, who had been trying to spread the rumor as if it were someone else’s business, also stopped talking.

The two B-rank teams, the aces of the Dansas branch, took a defensive stance.

Saying more than that might get you noticed.

That was something they all avoided.

“So, new leader. Do you have any plans for the future?”

After accepting the quest to exterminate the orcs and leaving the guild, Ankh asked Aeris about her outlook.

“I don’t have any plans. I have a few things in mind. But it’s not like I can’t get in touch with Tauro at all, and I want to solidify the three of us as a team, so for the time being we’ll just play it safe and do the D rank quests. Let’s do our best!

Aeris replied, inspiring everyone.

“Yeah! Tauro said that I only need to come to the Dragon People’s village once in a while to check on things, but once every few days I’ll go check on him. And it’s my parents’ house to begin with!”

Ragune laughed and said.

“I’m amazed, how exactly did Ragune’s brother agree to this?”

Ankh asked back, laughing at the fact that Tauro’s lodging in the Dragon People’s village was now at Ragune’s house.

“Since I don’t show up much these days, Brother seems to think it’s a good opportunity.”

Ragune answers Ankh with a wry smile at her older brother Drago’s concern for her.

“I can easily contact Tauro, so it’s okay. The problem is the three of us. Tauro is no longer a member, so we don’t have bows and potions to support us, and we don’t have accurate instructions, right?”

Aeris was the one who had to fill Tauro’s shoes as the rear guard, so she reminded herself as if to call attention to this.

“Relax, Aeris. Your support has been more than good enough in the past, and me and Ragune have plenty of solo experience, so we can handle ourselves. We can manage our luggage with the magic storage bag that Tauro left behind and Ragune’s magic storage, so there’s no need to panic. Get used to it.”

Ankh tried to ease Aeris’s nervousness by pointing out her concerns.

“…Yes, I know. But let’s both be careful with the organization without Tauro until we get used to it. Even so, the difficulty level of the quests has increased since we moved up to the D rank zone. We’ll also concentrate on defeating the orcs today!”

Aeris shouldered the responsibility of the team without Tauro on her shoulders and faced the quest.

A few days have passed since Tauro disappeared.

The days pass by unchanged in the village of Dansas.

Soon after, Ragune went to the village of the dragon people to check on them, but she found that Tauro was nowhere to be seen, and her brother Drago, who was there at the time, told her that

“Tauro-dono has gone to the Adventurers’ Guild here, and he seems to be in trouble because there are no quests at all.”

After receiving the report, she decided to return to the village of Dansas through the Dimensional Corridor without meeting Tauro.

Tauro rarely stayed at Ragune’s parents’ house, and was always on the move.

Therefore, Ragune was not able to see Tauro, but only heard from her brother Drago about Tauro’s condition and then conveyed that to Aeris and the others.

She was not able to report to Tauro about Aeris and the others. The report, however, was to reassure Tauro that the new three-person team had taken shape over the past few days, so a message to Drago would have sufficed.

Thus, Tauro moved from the village of Dansas to the village of the Dragon People by himself, and Aeris and the others began their new lives.
