Chapter 4 - Volume 1 (1/2)

「You are Axel Grantz-san, correct? 」

On the other side of the door was a young man dressed in a habit.

However, on his back, he was carrying a familiar backpack.

「《Carrier》?」

「I’m Jean, a《Carrier》belonging to the temple of job change.」

It’s the person whose status I was shown during my job change. Speaking with an accent, he took an envelope from his bag and handed it to me.

「That is?」

「Delivery from the shrine maiden. It’s called『Corrected Status Sheet』and since it’s so important it’s being sealed with magic. Granz-san, you should open it yourself.」

「Yeah, thank you.」

Looking at the envelope I realized that it was sealed with a magical talisman.

It even had a warning written on it『Careful, will turn to ashes if anyone other than the person himself were to open it』.

「Then I’ll be going. Ah, and also there was a message from the shrine maiden.『Exceptions that accompanied this status sheet were too numerous, therefore I will formally come with a visit tomorrow bringing apology and explanation.』is what she said.」

「Hm?　 Oh, Okay.」

「Also, it’s already getting late, and with the outbreak of goblins and orcs in the vicinity of the city going back to the temple through the grasslands right now would be too dangerous, so I’m planning to stay at the inn near the city entrance. So if there are any problems with the package, please notify me at the inn.」

「Got it. Thank you for everything, Jean.」

「No, no, this is also a job of a carrier for the temple. Well then——」

And after finishing with parting words Jean walked away from my house.

…He does a pretty thorough job.

While thinking that as a fellow《Carrier》I should learn from his work attitude I returned indoors—

「Axel-san, that was a person from the temple of job change, right? And he also was saying something about correction, could it be that it’s a notice for another job that you can take——」

Fang jumped on the topic.

「No, that’s not the case. The status table was simply dirty and I could not read it, so they delivered a new one. Or rather, Fang, ain’t you too concerned about me getting the job of《Carrier》?」

「Of course I will be concerned! Rather, it’s impossible not to be. I’ve already said it many times, but, if an ordinary person went for a job change and became a carrier that would be one thing, but for top-tier《Dragon Knight》to become beginner-tier is that much of a big deal!」

Though Fang says so while tightly clenching his fist, but I don’t feel the seriousness of it at all.

Well, I guess it can’t be helped, though I had a top-tier job in the past, I don’t really understand the general sense for a job change.

…Well, putting that aside, for now, let’s check the status.

And so, I removed the sealing talisman attached to the envelope.

Inside was a thing that the same as the skill sheet, despite appearing like a sheet of paper, gave off a feel of metal coldness, taking it out I take a look at the contents.

「Hmm?」

As I tilt my head, Berzelia rose up from the dining table and came to my side.

「Huh, Master, what happened? Have you leveled up again?」

「No, that’s not the thing. …Ability scores appear to be somewhat high.」

「Eh?」

Fang was the first one to react to my words.

「Ah, ehm, Axel-san? Do you mind if I take a look at your status sheet?　No, I do understand that it is a breach of etiquette, but.」

「Yeah, I don’t really mind.　 It’s only my initial status anyway, even if it’s revealed it will change a lot anyway.」

Generally, there is no problem with showing the status to party members, such were my thoughts when I showed the status sheet to Fang. Then—

「Huh?」

Looking at it once Fang rubbed his eyes, and then muttered that after looking at it for the second time. And then—

「Why, why are they so high?!」

And while looking at for the third time exclaimed in astonishment.

「Who knows?」

「Who knows… You say… Those are impossible values for a carrier?!　 What with all those S. And luck is even EX, and there is『Graduation』, this word I’ve seen for the first time!」

「What’s the matter?　 What happened with Master’s status?」

From the side of panicking Fang, Berzelia peeks at the status. And—

「Wah, it’s similar to Master’s status when he was a dragon knight. However, the speed was SSS and the luck didn’t reach EX, so there are some small differences, but it’s pretty close.」

「Eh?　So it’s almost the same as when he was a dragon knight?! Just what is the meaning of this?!」

「Well, as I said, no idea— And, there is something else in the envelope. This is…?」

As I was dealing with flustering Fang, a letter came out of the envelope.

An explanatory note from the shrine maiden was written there—

「『I relayed revelation from God of New Jobs as it is, but as the exceptions accompanying this case were too numerous, please allow me to pay you a visit tomorrow night. I will report to you the result of bombarding God of New Jobs with questions.』…Is what it says.」

In other words, a more detailed version of the message that I received from the carrier a short while ago.
