Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: ”Ryunakama”

「Eh, Axel-san is not here anymore?!」

「Yes. They departed quite a long time ago.」

Fang, who traveled from the post town to the City of Water, received information from the head of the marine guild, Lilac, who stated that Axel had already left the city.

As i frequently meet her at the guild conferences held at the capital, I immediately came to her for information.

「I wasn’t thinking that I can compete with him in speed, but he is even faster than I expected. ……That’s Axel-san for you.」

Taking a sip of the served tea, Fang sighed.

The bridge connecting the post town and this city was restored, so I rushed as fast as I could, but it seems I was too late.

However, the town was buzzing with the talks of the carrier who flew away from the town like the wind—

「To think he would capture Majin and defeat the black tortoise…… How should I put it, his performance really exceeds all expectations.」

「Hahaha, indeed. We basically were saved thanks to Axel-san. He really helped us. ——And, Hero of the Holy Sword. Are you going to stop in this city for a while? If you like, I can arrange for a room.」

「Ah, no, it’s not necessary. I will try to catch up with Axel-san again. I have something that I want to hand over to him directly.」

Fang said while looking at the small bag in his pocket.

「Aah, is that so. So, at most, you will replenish consumables at this city?」

「Right. After taking a short break to resupply I will resume my travel——So, where did Axel-san go?」

「Ah, the City of the Worlds Tree, northeast from here.」

Hearing those words, Fang stopped his hand with the teacup. And with a bit of cold sweat appearing on his face—

「The City of the World Tree… You said?…」

「Yes, what’s wrong?　You are sweating like crazy.」

「Well……That’s you know. Actually……There is another hero at the City of the World Tree……And now it seems that he became a traitor.」

「……HMM?!」

「Although, that hero was close with Axel-san. There have been reports about that person siding with monsters and preventing people from entering the City of the World Tree. ……I’ll have to hurry even more than when I was heading here……」
