The next morning after getting acquainted with people from Sagittarius.
Before going to the guild, I was having breakfast at the usual cafe.
「Did you hear that a new member has joined Sagittarius?」
Suddenly, I heard voices of the men from the other table.
「For real? That guild that is extremely difficult to enter? The one where dozens of people from the capital with high-tier transportation type jobs tried to apply once, but couldn't pa.s.s some outrageous tests and had their wills broken, that one?」
「Yes, the representative over there is quite caring but seems to be a pretty fierce person. According to that story, all of those who tried to apply back then, went home crying.」
「…Just what kind of a monster is that guy that got acknowledged by that representative and managed to enter there? I'm a bit curious…」
The men at the other table were getting excited over the conversation early in the morning.
「Hey, Master. The people over there are talking about the guild that you are going to frequent from today on? Is it such a dangerous place? It also bothers me that Master is being treated as a new member.」
「Well, leaving whether I'm going to be a new member or not aside, those two didn't look like such awful people. From what I've seen they appeared to be quite pleasant.」
After that, we talked with Marion some more, but she was very courteous in her manners, Kohaku being shy hardly looked my way, but I could feel that she had a friendly att.i.tude.
It didn't look like such a terrible place.
「Well, if Master thinks so then it's fine, I guess there shouldn't be any problem. Probably. Since the old days, you have a good sense for danger, but because your ability to deal with it is too high you never really understood what generally is considered dangerous.」
「What an awful thing to say. As a human, hearing that from a dragon such as yourself gives me a really complicated feeling… Oh well. For the time being, it seems that they will have a few requests prepared for me and I will be able to learn the basics.」
While in the care of that transportation guild, I will learn the basics of interactions as a carrier, and after learning theory and becoming full-fledged I will do work as I please.
That is my current goal.
「Okay, for the sake of becoming a full-fledged carrier, let's eat.」
「Ahaha, Master, I think in some sense your performance is way over a full-fledged carrier. But yeah, I will do my best as your partner and will learn various stuff.」
After such a peaceful breakfast we came to the shop of『Sagittarius』in the heart of the city.
「Good morning, both of you.I've been waiting.」
Entering the store, we are greeted by Marion waving her hand.
「From today on I will be learning in your care, Marion.」
「Yes, leave it to me. I will give you plenty of support! Well, anyway, this is what we have for today. As you are only starting, I pulled some beginner level requests from the merchants guild. If there is any you want to do please take it. We will provide our full a.s.sistance.」
Marion puffs her chest with pride at being prepared to back me up.
While thinking that I'm lucky to be able to work with the support of the excellent guild—
「Ehm, and, where can I pick my request?」
As I look around restlessly, someone lightly tapped on my shoulder from behind.
It's Kohaku.
「Over… Here… Axel-kun.」
Kohaku pointed at the desk that she usually uses.
A few sheets of paper are laid out there.
「I arranged them at my own judgment, you just have to choose one from there. Marion was the one who picked them so there might be some hard stuff but don't worry, I will aid you with any of them.」
「Yes, thank you as well, Kohaku-san. That really helps.」
「D-don't mention. It's only natural since we are supporting you.」
While she turned her gaze away in embarra.s.sment, her lips turned into a smile, showing her good mood.
Prompted by her I take a look at the arranged requests.
The request forms had listed the types of goods to carry and also delivery points and scheduled time. In addition, the weight, etc. were also stated.
All of them were pretty much the same, the requests that could be accomplished just by moving around this city, but—
「…Oh, this is?」
But one of them is not like the others. That is—
「Outskirts of the City of Stars, During today's morning, deliver 10 wooden crates to the laboratory on the cliff. And they even attached a route to the destination in the outskirts of the city.」
The requested form had a twisted path depicted on it, from the merchants guild in the center of the city to the laboratory in its outskirts.
During this morning, so it means there is a little over one hour left but, there are even such requests with a delivery route specified like this—
「T-this? It's something we added. Because this town has many alleys and dead ends. I thought it might be good if you learned about shortcuts and such.」
「Heeh, this is, much appreciated.」
I moved here one month before resigning as a dragon knight, but I still don't know the city well.
Although I found restaurants with delicious food near the house that I received or places that sell good ingredients, I was yet to grasp the overall structure of the city. That's why—
「…Is that so. Then I guess I will take this request and learn the streets of the city on the way.」
When I decided on the request, Kohaku gave me a nod.
「You decided on this? Then, the crates are here.」
I was led to the corner of the building, to the storage area where the color of the floor differed. And then pointed at the wooden boxes sitting conspicuously right at the center of it.
「This, okay?」
「Yeah, understood. Then, I will put them in the transportation bag.」
And as I continued tossing the boxes inside the transportation bag—
「Eh, will all of them fit?」
Marion who was looking at this from behind raised her voice in surprise.
「Well, it's a transportation bag after all. This much of luggage will fit.」
When I said so, she looked at me with even more surprised eyes.
「Can you wait for a moment? Y-your s.h.i.+pping bag, did it grow this much?」
「Well, since it's beginner-tier, leveling up is fast, and every time it happens it keeps expanding. Or rather, won't you usually be able to put this much in it?」
「No, Axel-san. A regular transportation bag has a smaller capacity. Compared to other jobs level-up conditions are easier, but normal《Carriers》normally have a hard time raising their levels anyway…」
She said dumbfounded.
That reminds me, the hero was saying something similar.
…First of all, it was the shrine maiden who said that it is easy to level up and I merely trusted her words.
And I get an expansion to storage on every level-up, so I don't see how this is unusual.
Although the way of learning new skills is not unified, I was pretty sure that most《Carriers》run around with extremely huge transportation bags. But—
「I see… In that case, perhaps I'm just lucky that it kept getting increasingly handy.」
I guess I really should appreciate that all the skills go into making it even more useful.
While thinking about that, I finished packing the goods into the transportation bag.
「All. All of them really went in…」
Kohaku, who saw me packing the boxes right in front of her, stood with her mouth open. It seems that the size of this transportation bag was a surprise for her as well.
There might be a need to change my perception—
「Anyway, with this, preparations are complete, Master.」
「Well, that's right.」
Berzelia happily called out to me.
That's it. While learning the basics, first of all, I ought to accomplish my job, and so I slap my cheeks with both hands.
This marks the beginning of my work at the guild as《Carrier》. Next, I waved my hand to the two people who entrusted me with this job.
「Then, Marion, Kohaku. I'll be going.」
「Ah, yes. Good luck, Axel-san.」
「P-please, c-come back, safely.」
Thus, my first job at Sagittarius has started.
