Volume 2 Prologue: Fang’s Side, Chasing Hero

A few days after the ancient dragon attacked the City of Stars, on the evening of one of the days.

At the heart of the city was Fang, covered with a hood.

「I came to check because of the attack by an ancient dragon, but it seems to be mostly repaired already.」

While observing the city in the process of recovery, Fang muttered to himself.

It would be a problem if a somewhat intelligent enemy were to attack the weakened area, so I came with full battle gear, but looking at how lively the place is it seems it was unnecessary.

…At the merchants guild, when asked if they needed help, they laughed and replied that it’s fine. I’m glad that it didn’t turn into a serious matter.

With such thoughts, Fang headed for Axel’s house. That was because he received reports stating that it was Axel who settled the matter with an ancient dragon.

「The matter was solved in a very short time due to efforts from《Flying Carrier》 Axel Granz… When that report came I almost choked. Good gracious, he doesn’t change at all, even with a different job…」

Hearing of an ancient dragon attack, I started to prepare for departure, by no means did I expect that I will receive the report of it being resolved even before I finish my preparations.

Laughing bitterly while recalling that, Fang finally reached Axel’s residence.

Today, he brought top-quality alcohol from the capital city as a gift.

I hope he will like it.

「Goood eevening. Axel-san!」

Fang knocked on the door of Axel’s house.

However, there is no response.

「…Huh?」

The presence can be felt inside the house, but no one would show up.

According to the stories, he is active enough to receive the nickname of Flying Carrier, could it be that he is working inside, and then—

「Ehm… How may I help you?」

A woman opened the door.

「Eeeeh? Excuse me, but who are you?」

It’s an unfamiliar face. But she does not appear like a thief as well. So Fang asked, and the woman replied in a nervous but firm tone—

「I-I’m Kohaku from the transportation guild… Sagittarius. I provide Axel-san assistance in his… work. As a part of that assistance, I manage his house while he is away at work.」

Among the lines spoken by the woman who introduced herself as Kohaku, Fang heard some familiar words. That is—

「Oh. A person from one of the twelve cardinal guilds《Sagittarius of Transport》?」

「Oh, you’ve heard about us?」

「Of course. Due to the nature of my service, I studied the guilds vital for this country.」
