From The Strongest Job of Dragon Knight, To The Beginner Job Carrier, Somehow, The Heroes are Depending on Me - Chapter 27
Volume 1 Chapter 27: Warriors beneath the pleasant starlight
When we with Dort arrived at the north gate, there were already wooden crates with potions and other supplies as well as piles of weapons.
「So I should put that in the transportation bag and then use sequentially?」
「Umu. As per the list on the second page of the request form, we have prepared everything, from provision to armament. Use that at your discretion when a situation will call for it.」
「Okay. Got it.」
「Is there anything missing?」
I look at the second page of the request form.
I went through the list of supplies before leaving but re-check anyway.
「Health and Magic potions are here. And there seems to be no problem with the quantity of weapons and provisions.」
「Umu. Good. Then, let’s head out…The party members seem to be already assembled over there.」
Looking closely, a group of five people, men and women, were standing near the pile of supplies. And—
「Ah, Submaster. We’ve been waiting.」
One with an exceptionally good physique among them, a bald young man, waved his hand.
A very warrior-like person clad in armor covered in scratches and carrying a large sword.
「Those are the combatants who will take part in this magical beasts extermination. A pretty outstanding party, even by our standards, called『Starlight』.」
「Thanks for the explanation, Submaster. I’m Sieg, the leader of『Starlight』. 《Great Sword Warrior》is my job. With this characteristic head of mine, it should be easy to remember.」
A man that introduced himself as Sieg, was smiling, pointing at his bald head shining under the sunlight. Then, looking at the other members of the Starlight—
「And those are my Starlight comrades. They are not as shiny as me but each and every one of them has a different job and equipment so it shouldn’t be hard to memorize them.」
And so he introduced other members, such as《High Witch》or《Advanced Trapper》.
「Thanks for your courtesy. I’m Axel the《Carrier》. And this is my partner Berzelia.」
「My regards.」
「Yeah, I heard about you from Submaster. Nice to meet you, Flying Carrier Axel-san.」
After Sieg responded to our greeting while maintaining that smile, he then looked with a surprised expression at the transportation bag on my back.
「…Or rather, looking at that bag, I guess we really should consider you a《Carrier》, Axel-san?」
「Well, yes? Is there anything strange?」
「Well, I have seen you leaping around the city. I also have heard about your combat ability from the submaster. And all in all, it’s pretty strange for you to be a beginner-tier. I actually thought that you have a high-tier transportation job.」
「Unfortunately, I’m a genuine beginner tier-carrier. Are you feeling uneasy after all? Doing this request with a carrier?」
When asked, Sieg immediately shook his head.
「Nope, nothing like that. We believe in the submasters judgment, and above all, I’ve seen your movements with my own eyes, so I can believe all that. One living in this city would be familiar with your agility and swiftness, I have faith in you.」
It seems that due to my activities in the city my appearance became unexpectedly well known.
And it seems I’m somewhat recognized.
Although they were merely a substitute for a training course, I’m glad that I was regularly completing requests.
「Thank you. But, this is the first time I’m doing this type of work. Sorry, but I will be counting on you.」
「Don’t sweat it. We have performed more than one request with a rookie supports. ——Right, everyone?」
Turning around, Sieg threw those words to the members of Starlight.
The other Starlight members that were around started nodding and speaking to me.
「Of course, there is nothing to concern yourself about. The thing that this is Carrier-san’s first request of this kind is no biggie, we will protect you, so rest assured.」
「Yes. We don’t drop our guards, so just feel like you are in good hands and relax, master Carrier.」
「However, we, in turn, also will rely on Axel-san for the replenishment of tools, potions, and equipment. Please be keen about it.」
Starlight members were saying while glancing at the supplies beside them.
…Hmmm, they seem like a pretty nice bunch.
Their expressions and tones are bright and they are acting pretty friendly.
Looks like it’s a party with a good atmosphere.
「Understood, Sieg. I will give it my all.」
「Yeah!」
And I proceed to shake hands with Sieg and others.
It certainly appears like the work should go easy enough.
With such thoughts, we departed from the city.
