Volume 2 Chapter 7 side Marion, Twelve Guild’s Meeting

The morning of that day

Marion got out of her bed in a guest room at the top floor of the pirate inn.

And, after dressing and getting herself in order, she left the room, heading for the deepest part of the inn.

There was a private room with a small round table.

「Hey, good morning, Marion, I’ve been waiting.」

Lilac was sitting there alone.

Marion replied as she took the seat opposite Lilac.

「I’m on time. Well then, can we start a debriefing?」

「Of course. I already skimmed through the materials that you handed me yesterday, so please proceed with details. After all, this is a valuable information exchange between the heads of the cardinal guilds.」

「Yes, since we are doing this only in case of such emergencies I will give a detailed explanation.」

Twelve Cardinal guilds often held meetings to share information when problems occurred in any of their cities.

In those talks a menace is treated as a mutual threat, if the damage were to be large, cooperative steps for its eradication are taken.

To that end, Marion told Lilac what happened in the City of Stars—

「……I see. Good grief, not only had you giant monsters emerging from the primordial forest, but also an ancient dragon popped up, what a crazy situation.」

With a deep breath, Lilac slapped her hand on the documents lying on the table.

Among them are written reports of the damages to the city.

Furthermore, she received a detailed verbal explanation, apparently transmitting the degree of the danger well enough.

「It was very serious. Though we were saved by Axel-san’s presence.」

In the report, Axel’s activity is written as it was.

When you look at it, the thought of how it might have turned if he wasn’t there fills the heart with a chill. But—

「……The report says『 Due to the efforts of the《Flying Carrier》Axel Granz the damage was minimal』, but is this really the case?」

Lilac’s reaction was very calm.

「Yes. Although it might be hard to believe…」

Even for us, who saw it happening with our own eyes we needed time to digest that. I can’t blame her for finding it hard to believe—

「No, I trust you. This morning, I learned first hand just how terrific Axel-san is.」

Said Lilac.

「Morning? Did Axel-san do something?」

「Yes, he delivered a package while he was on his morning stroll. He was absurdly fast.」

A bit excitedly, Lilac explained what happened in the morning.

Apparently, she also got the first-hand experience with his speed.

「It might have been troublesome for Axel-san, but it’s fortunate that I was able to witness that power and speed. Thanks to that I was pretty much able to take in the contents of this report. But—」
