From The Strongest Job of Dragon Knight, To The Beginner Job Carrier, Somehow, The Heroes are Depending on Me - Volume 2 Chapter 32
Volume 2 Chapter 32 What happened in the past
Well, while he is unconscious, let’s tie him up and stuff him into the transportation bag. 」
After knocking out the man who manipulated magic beasts I tied him with a rope and tossed him into the transportation bag—
「S-so you have such means of restraint.」
Seeing that, Cecile, who was collecting bags that the scarred man had, as well as the equipment scattered around, asked me, without concealing her surprise.
「Hm? I just thought that it might be convenient to use as a restraint since one can’t get out of the transportation bag without the permission of the owner. Isn’t that a pretty widespread application?」
「I don’t hear about bags with a capacity to hold a person that often……」
「Oh. So that’s how it is. But isn’t this nice, being able to transport them safely like this.」
Considering how I hit him, he shouldn’t wake up that easily, but if he has some magic with delayed or automatic activation that can wake him up, then it would be annoying.
「Well, that’s true. ……Ah, that’s right. About the items the man had.」
「Ah, there are some here as well, Axel-san. Three in total.」
Saying that Cecile and George handed me large leather bags.
「I searched together with George, but there were no other man-made objects. The contents of the bag were that purple powder and stones with strange color. I have no idea what they are used for…… Since it belonged to someone who named himself a majin, we collected them all.」
「I see. Thank you.」
I put the bags I received from her into the transportation bag as well.
The contents are mutually non-interfering, so even if a man who claims to be a majin wakes up, he won’t be able to use them, but—
「For now, we restrained the man and recovered the stuff that he was using for something but……Demonfolk……Majin, huh. It isn’t a good word, why would he call himself that.」
「Ehm, majin means the people who fought on the other side during the war with the Demon Lord?」
「Yes, it’s a bunch that devastated cities along with the magical beasts.」
「I see… Or rather, from your manner of speaking, you sound well-informed on majins.」
「Well, more or less. When I was involved in the war, they caused a lot of harm to those close to me, so I’m actually pretty conscious about them.」
Because of that, I went for a knockout right away.
「For such a dangerous person to be here. To begin with, such『folk』does it mean that there is a bunch of such people?」
「Maybe. During the war, I’ve never heard the name demonfolk, so we cannot discard the possibility of this being a mere ruse.」
As Majins moved at their individual discretion, they hardly formed any factions.
Therefore, we will question this man, and collect more information.
…Even though the god of investigation jobs told us after the war that we almost completely wiped them out.
Claiming to be one in this day and age is incredibly suspicious. Even if being a majin and such was a mere bluff.
「In fact we have magic stone powder here, that the supposed majin was spreading. It irks me.」
I look at the leather bag stuffed into the transportation bag. Inside was powder so purple that it even felt ominous.
「…I also want to find out what this thing is. I don’t think the scarred man will wake up any time soon, but let’s hurry up back to the city. There is no more reaction from the jewel, right?」
「Ah, yes. It seems that there is nothing made from magic stones around here anymore, so let’s call it the end of the survey and return. 」
「Sure. Nee-san, Axel-san!」
And so, as we finished our survey, for now, we would rush back to the city.
