Volume 1 Chapter 33 From ((Dragon Knight)) to Full-Fledged ((Carrier))

After releasing dragon knight’s skills and collecting the remains of the ancient dragon into the transportation bag I head for the hill slightly removed from the battlefield.

At the strategy meeting prior to the battle, we agreed that that would be the place to assemble the wounded. I was wondering if it went as we discussed but—

「Axel-san!」

From the high-ground came the running Marion, with bandages at various parts of her body.

「Oh, Marion? Are your wounds from fighting the dragon going to be fine with you running so hard?」

「Y-Yes. The wounds were shallow and I already received treatment from the members of Starlight. Kaufmann-san is also over there.」

Saying that she looked in the direction from which she ran from.

There was Dort, wrapped heavily in bandages, and Starlight members, who were attending him.

Everyone is waving their hands energetically. A shade of fatigue can be seen on their faces but they look fine.

「Well, for the time being, you appear to be safe.」

「Truly so. It’s all thanks to you that we pulled through it with zero losses. Thank you.」

Having said that, Marion bowed down. After then—

「And, this. We recovered this on our way here. I feel a tremendous power from it… It’s yours, right?」

She took the engraved sword out of her correspondence box.

That was the dragon knight’s sword that I just threw.

「Oh, thank you. I thought about collecting it later, thank you for picking it up.」

I tried to take the sword from her hands—

「……」

And noticed that for the last few seconds she was moving her lips as if she was hesitating to say something.

「Hm?　What’s wrong?」

「Ah, nothing, I just thought that Axel-san really was 《Invisible Dragon Knight》. I had a hard time confirming it before, but looking at your movements from earlier I understood that you were the real one. …Although I totally can’t understand why you became a《Carrier》…」

She says that a bit nervously.

I don’t know what she is so nervous about, but for starters, I say, while receiving the sword—

「Well, it might be a bit difficult to explain. For now, I’ll just say that after defeating the Demon Lord I had to resign as a dragon knight, so I underwent an ordinary job change.」

I just normally answered Marion’s question. Then—

「Eh…?」

Her eyes became wide open.

「Huh? Did I say something strange?」

I simply said that I went through a normal job change. What is she so shocked about? And as I was wondering—

「Ehm, you know, Axel-san. I know I was the one who asked so it might be a strange thing for me to say but——Aren’t you talking about important events of the past WAY TOO CASUALLY?!」

She told me in a pretty loud voice.
