With the food arriving shortly after their questions were asked, Tarou started to dig in as he listened closely. Taking in all information he could about what they were saying however, not a lot was given other than 'elemental'. Saying in his head "That could be anything! Baaaaka!" He gave a quick sigh. Though, once he asked his question, he noticed Arata-sama looking over to him. Looking to the monk afterwards, he felt the rom go cold in a way as he was told to basically mind his business and do his job. It made Tarou all the more suspicious of what their prized possession could be. However, he put the thought off to the side for a bit. Hearing next about extra pay for labor got the boy excited. As Tarou was about to respond, Zhiro took it upon himself to speak for them both. Thankfully, Tarou was all for it anyways.

The elder monk had walked off as Tarou finished his first plate and just..stopped eating. It was odd for the boy not to stuff his stomach like Zhiro did however, it meant he had something on his mind. Mumbling to himself, stuff nearly inaudible "I wonder if it'd be enough to get mom medicine.." He bit at his thumb a little bit as his stare grew longer down at the floor. Once Arata spoke, it broke Tarou out of his little trance. Listening closely, he smiled and nodded "Will do, Buggy-Sama!" Tarou wanted to investigate for himself too however, he heard Zhiro pipe up. Tarou made Zhiro another plate quickly and said "No need to fear, my seven stomach friend. Buggy-sama won't get caught!" Tarou had no doubt in his mind that Arata wouldn't get caught, now if Tarou himself tried; That'd be a different story.

After speaking, Tarou got up and started to walk around, looking at the different things around until he went downstairs to where the choice of going up or down was made before. Looking down the stairs, Tarou shrugged and went down them. He wasn't told anywhere wasn't off limits, so it was time for the boy to explore to his heart's content.
