The exploration squad of the archeology guild looked from the back as Axel finished the fight.

「Captain, that was……」

「To cut a storm… We just witnessed something insane. ……The moment he swung his sword I even saw a glimpse of a giant dragon.」

I felt like I witnessed the Dragon God.

「So this is the power an ex-hero, the power of the carrier……」

The mix of delight over the victory and the shock from what we just saw prevented us from thinking straight.

But that confusion was soon swept away by another surprise. That wasー

「Captain…… Look at that.」

「I know. ……Blue skies. For the first time in a long while. The sky that he brought back.」

The clouds that blocked the sky all these months dissipated.

Only clear blue skies were above us.

Killing the majin we return to the archeology guild.

「Welcome back, Axel. And Dragon Monarch Hydra.」

「Oh, my friends, you are back?」

Our comrades welcomed us back.

「Yeah, we are back.」

「We are baack!」

「I saw the message that came to the guild before you. Did you fight a majin? Good job, both of you.」

Daisy said while climbing onto my shoulders, and then began pressing her paws on them as if she was trying to give a massage.

「Haha, thanks, Daisy. Did anything happen in the town while we were fighting?」

Saki was the one to reply.

「Absolutely nothing. The biggest problem we had is that I couldn’t see your heroic deed. Aside from that, we didn’t receive any attacks. Rather, the weather improved. So the overall mood became better.」

「I see. All good then.」

Though we defeated the Majin, there was no way to know what is going on in the town.

Defeating an enemy only to lose a place to return would’ve been way too sad.

Well, since there is no damage, then it’s all good.

And while I thought thatー

「Axel Granz. You solved the problem that plagued our town.」
