Volume 2 Chapter 10: Carriers Comrades

Moving to the private room of『Pirate’s Inn』I sat at the table, facing Saki, and while drinking tea, I was explaining the situation with my current job.

「…Eehm, just now, what did you say?」

「Well, I’ll repeat. I said that my current job is definitely《Carrier》.」

The moment I said that, Saki blinked in surprise and stopped moving for a few seconds. And—

「Car……rier……? Really…… You are not lying? Novice-level, low ability scores, that carrier?」

「Although it seems that some abnormality happened to my abilities and they are actually quite high. But it’s definitely that carrier.」

As she asked once again, I replied with a nod.

Then, as Saki’s expression turned into a smile—

——*Whoo!!*

With great vigor, a magic power resembling a chill started flowing from her. And—

「I don’t get this story. I will go and cast a curse on the Temple of the Job Change, the one that will hurt them if they won’t let me talk with the god.」

She tried to get up with those words.

「Wait. Calm down, Saki. You are quite hot blooded as well.」

She was just the same as Fang.

I’m glad that just in case I made sure that we can talk calmly, with those thoughts, I walked up to her and placed a hand at the nape of her neck.

However, she raised her eyebrows and looked up at me.

「How can I be calm hearing this! Why should Axel have such a job!」

「I don’t know the details, but it looks like there is a lot going on on the gods side as well.」

「Even so… This treatment is way too cruel! You worked so hard to defeat the Demon Lord and ancient dragons who allied with him……!」

Half crying, Saki was expressing her anger.

The shrine maiden, Fang, even Marion and others, looks like the job change from top-tier to novice-tier is a more serious affair than I thought.

「So this is something to get this upset, huh.」

「Yes, it is! Probably, because you are so kind you are not getting angry, but in that case, I will get angry instead! Even getting dropped from advanced job to intermediate hurts, but Axel was suddenly demoted to the beginner job, it must have been really bad…!」

Saki was shaking with indignation. However, there was something that I had to correct in her words. Thus, I spoke.

「Thank you, Saki. But it’s a bit different. It’s not like I struggled that much.」

「Eh?」

「I was blessed with people around me, so I’ve gotten a lot of good requests and opportunities to train.」

There also was an insanely lucky matter with my status carrying over.

That reduced my troubles by one, and what was more important, I’ve made a lot of new contacts.

Thanks to that I’m managing somehow.

「Certainly there is a bit of an inconvenience compared to the time I was a dragon knight. But there is nothing to particularly despair about… And the most important, I finally was able to take off that damned helm.」

When I said that, Berzelia interfered with a bit troubled smile.

「Master, you really hate that helmet. Even though you are still carrying it in your bag.」

「I surely left it at home, I wonder when did it get inside, that helmet…」

It’s a bit creepy since it seems like it tagged along intentionally, but there is no real harm since I can throw it out of the transportation bag if I want to. I even consider entrusting it to someone if it really will become a burden.

After all, though I received it from the royal family, I can’t equip it anymore.

And as I was wondering if I can return it to the royal family at some point—

「Well, that’s how it is. Being a carrier is nice, and nothing that bad actually happened, I’m satisfied with this job, so I’m planning to give it some moderate effort.」

I frankly told her how I felt since the day I changed my job. Then—

「……You are very positive, as always……You really don’t get stuck-in your own situation. There is no way I can keep my anger if you smile at me like that…」

While saying that, Saki smiled a bit wryly. And—
