CH 262

The day after I returned home after taming the slime Pella.

I went to the residence of Chief Ryuga first thing in the morning and reported that I had succeeded in “spatial transfer.”

He had already received a report from Ryuko of the Adventurers’ Guild and the leader who had escorted him, but when he actually heard the report directly from Tauro, Chief Ryuga was overjoyed.

“─ ─ Does this mean that we can safely send the capture group to the deepest part of the dungeon?”

Chief Ryuga asked for confirmation from Tauro himself..

“Yes, the deepest part is the 201st floor, isn’t it? The leader who accompanied me as an escort confirmed this, so I am sure of it. The other question is how many people can be sent together, but judging from the decrease in magical power, I think a good number of people will be fine.

“…… I see. It has been decades since we last reached the 201st level for the first time, so we are pleased. There are 3 groups of 15 people in the capture group and 6 groups of 30 people in its support group, making a total of 45 people, is that okay?”

“Yes.  I can do that while drinking a potion to restore my magic power.”

“That’s good to hear. …… Thanks to you, Tauro-dono, we, the Dragon People, may be able to accomplish our long-cherished dream of conquering the dungeon.”

The chief Ryuga suggested, relieved at Tauro’s words.

“I see, so the dungeon is that deep. ……”

Tauro was honestly surprised at the depth of the dungeon, which was 201 levels deep.

“We did not know how deep it was either. That is why the mental pressure on the capture team was so great. And when I think of the effort required to go up to the 201st level, it would have taken several months to go one way, and you have to calculate the way back, so Tauro-dono’s ‘spatial transfer’ is truly a godsend.”

Tauro was afraid to be praised for an achievement he had not done yet, but he politely declined the offer of hospitality and left the chief’s mansion early.

For Tauro, the most important thing today was to get his armor ready.

He also decided to experience something he had been wanting to do since he arrived here.

He decided to use the pulley to go down to the foot of the village.

A rope had been set up right in front of the chief’s mansion to go down to the foot of the village, and a dragon lady sat on a looped rope that had been extended from the pulley, and she smoothly went down in front of him.

“Oh! I knew you guys were used to this.”

The ropes leading down to the base of the mountain originated from a small hut.

A man was in the hut, and when he asks where you’re going, he attaches a pulley to the rope and sends you on your way.

“I want to ride too, is that okay?”

Tauro asks the man.

“Of course, Tauro-dono, is it? Thank you! Where is your destination?”

The man, who immediately recognized the rumored life saver Tauro because of his unusual human race, nodded cordially and asked him where he was going.

“I want to go to the armor shop.”

“Then it’s this second rope. Please wait a moment…”

The man quickly attached the pulley.

“When you arrive, there may be a shock, so please be careful. Ah, you don’t have a brake, do you? Then please use this one.”

The man noticed that Tauro was empty-handed and handed him a V-shaped wooden stick.

“Here, bite this into the rope and use it as a brake to adjust your speed.”

I see. So, it is dangerous to go down the slope with a lot of momentum.

Tauro understood, thanked the man, and sat down by putting his body through the loop of the rope extending from the pulley.

The man pushed Tauro out from behind.

The pulley with Tauro on it immediately gained momentum, cutting through the wind and descending to the foot of the dragon people village below him.

It was a splendid and exhilarating experience.

Tauro enjoyed the ride down, feeling the wind and exclaiming, “Wow! As he enjoyed the descent.

The arrival was short-lived.

Tauro quickly used the V-shaped tree to slow down the rope.

It worked well for the first time, and as he slowed down, it came to a stop right at the end of the rope.

There, the man in charge immediately comes and removes the pulley with a familiar movement.

He had to remove the pulley before the next person came down.

Tauro hurriedly thanked the man and left.

After a moment of fun, Tauro immediately headed to the main event of the day, shopping.

He planned to buy leather armor, gauntlets, shin guards, and a shield to make him light and mobile, although he would decide on armor after seeing the actual items.

While he was excited to go shopping for the first time in a while, he decided to first visit the “Dragon’s Breath Armor Shop,” which is said to have the best selection of products.

The store was a large building facing the main street at the foot of the village.

Tauro saw the name “Dragon’s Breath Armor Shop” on the signboard and entered, where he found a space larger than he had imagined, and a large selection of armors to match.
