From The Strongest Job Of Dragon Knight, To The Beginner Job Carrier, Somehow, The Heroes Are Depending On Me Volume 1 Chapter 14

Translator: "Pink Tea" Editor: "Ryunakama"

The building was a short walk from the merchants guild.

　A wooden one-story house with a signboard that had Sagittarius written on it.

　Although it didn't look like the headquarters of the best guild of this country—

「Now, this is the transportation guild that all the heavyweights of every country use. I have already contacted them beforehand, so please enter, Axel-kun, Berzelikun.」

　Urged, we entered the building. Then—

「Greetings. Welcome to the transportation guild 『Sagittarius』」

　A lady in a beautiful dress came to greet us.

　Then, seeing us and Dort standing behind, she beamed.

「Kaufmann-san, welcome… And those two are the rumored superhuman beginner carrier duo?」

「Superhuman, huh… Dort, old man. What did you tell them?」

「W-well, a lot. Anyway, this lady is Marion, the representative of this guild.」

　When Dort said that, the woman called Marion grabbed the hem of her clothes and gave an elegant bow.

「Nice to meet you. I am Marion Fuberge. I am the representative of this transportation guild『Sagittarius』. Pleased to make your acquaintance.」

「Axel and Berzelia, pleased to meet you as well, Marion-san.」

「Fufu, Marion is fine, Axel-san. Please, this way. Tea is already prepared.」

　When I replied, Marion smiled once again and asked us to come inside.

　And lead by her we arrived at the table that had cups filled with tea arranged on it.

「Now, I heard the story from Kaufmann-san. You just transferred to a transportation-type job and want information regarding that occupation.」

　Marion asks while drinking tea.

　Looks like Dort provided sufficient amount of details upon contacting them.

　Though not even ten minutes had pa.s.sed since he said that he will introduce me to this guild, it's nice how fast he is with his arrangements.

「Yes, I suddenly went to Uncle Dort's Guild and it seems that I was a bit out-of-place. In order to work without troubles in the future, I wanted to learn common practices and basic techniques. I've just got the job of《Carrier》and can't tell left from the right at the moment.」

　As I said while showing the transpiration bag, a surprised expression appeared on Marion's face.

「Axel-san, so you are really a beginner-tier. When I heard that you defeated bandits I thought that you were faking your job… But looking at this bag and the power overflowing from your body, it doesn't appear to be a lie.」

　She said while looking at my face and body.

「Overflowing power? You can see something in me?」

　The one who answered the question was Dort sitting next to me.

「Yes, Marion-kun is one of the few in our country possessing high-tier transportation job《Imperial Courier》. So she has the skill to detect the power of other people.」

　To Dort's words, Marion nodded with a wry smile.

「Fufu, I was exposed by Kaufmann-san, but well, that's the case. I have confidence in my eye for people.」

「I see, so advanced transportation jobs have skills to measure the power of others. Or rather, one of the few in the whole country, Marion is an amazing person.」

「Not that much. Actually, your own power doesn't seem like that of beginner-tier at all, from my viewpoint you are an amazing one. I was wondering what kind of people Kaufmann-san wanted to back-up, but looking at you I'm convinced.」

「I'm honored to hear that from the person with the high-tier job… And so, about teaching me the fundamentals of the job, is that fine with you?　As uncle Dort says it's quite an amazing guild, isn't it?」

　Does the guild hailed as the greatest in this country have the time to spare on someone who doesn't even belong to it? Thinking so I made a question, but—

「I'm completely fine with it.」

　She gave an immediate reply.

　Quickly, as if it was decided from the beginning, Marion nodded her head.

「For me, because Axel-san dealt with bandits it was a great help for the girls. So, since you are the hero who despite being a《Carrier》can deal with bandits, I want to accept you, and I, by all means, want to give you my support. Even if you won't be able to get into this guild I would be happy if we were able to meet and talk from time to time.」

「O-Oh, is that so?… I think you are quite overestimating me.」

「Fufu, there is no such thing. Well, that's being the case, if you have any questions please come to me right away, I will answer you immediately. If I'm not around… Ehm, it would be okay to ask the girl over there.」　

　Marion turned her gaze to a clerical desk at which a girl has been working with doc.u.ments.

「She is my colleague Kohaku Willer-chan.」

　The brown haired girl called Kohaku immediately jumped up the moment she heard her name—

「……My, re… gards.」

　After a long pause, she bowed with a red face.

　Looks like she is a shy person.

「Despite her looks, she has a high-tier job of《Postman》(Postal Maestro).」

「Eh, really?」

　In other words, two people of very few people with high-tier jobs are a.s.sembled here?

　Sagittarius really seems like an outstanding guild then.

「There is one more girl with an high-tier job but she is currently out, I will introduce you later. There are also some alumni, but… For now, those are our current members. It will be helpful if you remember.」

「Understood. Or rather, you saying that this Sagittarius guild operates with only three people?」

「Yes, but we have never been short on staff, because we also carefully select our requests.」

　A sense of composure could be felt from Marion who said that while sipping tea.

　So that would mean that it's a guild that can afford to be picky about their work.

「Ah, but new members are always welcome. If you want to join feel free to tell me anytime. We can immediately take you in, even as a provisional member.」

「Okay, got it… Or, since I want to learn the trade, wouldn't it be better for me to join, at least as a temporary member?」

「Oh, well. This way you will be able to learn the basic workflow, but I will let you do it the way you want.」

　Looks like Marion intends to teach regardless of my guild a.s.sociation. She seems quite caring or service-minded, but in case, I really appreciate it.

「Although I don't know in which area you would want to learn about the work. I would appreciate if you viewed us basically as colleagues who can answer some of your questions and treated this shop as your place of work. Feel free to casually come here.」

「I see…I'm sorry to bother you about all kinds of stuff, but I will take you up on your offer and will study a lot, Marion. I'm looking forward to working with you.」

「Yes, I'm looking forward to working with you as well, Axel-san. 」

　Thus, it seems I found mentors and colleagues in transportation with whom I might be able to establish a good relations.h.i.+p.
