From The Strongest Job of Dragon Knight, To The Beginner Job Carrier, Somehow, The Heroes are Depending on Me Volume 4 Chapter 3

Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: “Ryunakama”

One week has passed since we arrived at the City of Raging Sands Eniado.

Since we arrived here I kept taking commissions from the local guild of merchants, trying to learn the layout of the city in the process.

…Thanks to spending several weeks before we arrived at Eniado at leisure in post towns to get rid of exhaustion from our previous battle there were now no problems with moving around.

I made a full recovery.

Just in case, I took time and observed my condition, but found no problems.

I wasn’t in a hurry, so I took plenty of time to rest while heading to the center of the City of Raging Sands.

This was our current base of operations.

A large, isolated house that originally was used by Daisy as a base during the war.

At the moment, we were sleeping there as well.

Finishing a couple of requests early in the morning, chatting with the people at the guild and going home while the sun is still up. Spending days like thatー

「I’m back.」

Today as well I returned to the building we are using as our base.

Thereー

「Welcome back, Master!」

「Welcome back, Axel.」

Were Berzelia and Saki, dressed in some kind of bizarre clothing, both came out to welcome me.

「……Ehm? What with those outfits?」

Short dresses combining brightly colored fabric with transparent parts, revealing the skin. With Berzelia’s red and Saki’s black hair, they surely had different colors that would fit them, so their outfits were slightly different in color scheme, but they were wearing the same thing.

…Swimsuits…No, that’s some other kind of light wear.

Anyway, what they were wearing was flashy and eye-catching. Is there some kind of celebration going on? Thinking so I asked, thenー

「It seems that《Dancers》from this area are wearing such clothes. They were selling them at the market, so we thought it might be a good chance and bought them. What do you think, Master? Any comments?」

「Comments, huh. They appear easy to move in, and seem to have a lot of magic protection attached…… And most of all, you look cute in those.」

「Really!? Ehehe, thank goodness.」

When I voiced my honest thoughts, Berzelia made a delighted smile with her whole face.

However, Saki, who is standing beside Berzelia, was shaking her head, as if saying – good grief.

「Really, before showing off your outfit, shouldn’t you take care of Axel first? Dragon Monarch Hydra? Axel came back right after finishing his work.」

Being told so, Berzelia was at loss for words.

「U-ugh…… Y-you are right…」

「Even without any appeals, Axel knows what to say, you are too hasty, Dragon Monarch Hydra. ーCough, as such, welcome back Axel. Would you like dinner, a bath or would you like to drown yourself in the warmth of my body? But the one to drown might actually be me! Taking in Axel’s warmth with my whole body, smelling you all over! What do you think!!!」

「Aaah…… Saki’s engine is again in full throttle since morning.」

Her clothes might be different, but she is the same as always.

Or rather, she seems to be even more enthusiastic.

「Of course. I’m also familiar with dancing, so I bought this as a part of my hobby――Since clothes make me even more passionate.」

Fufu, Saki says, breathing a bit roughly. Then, turning her gaze to Berzelia

「……Unlike some dragon that just wanted to make this some kind of competition!」

「I, I’m not competing! I just bought it because I wanted to!!! I just wanted to show my body since the wounds on it healed!!!」

「Good grief. What a clumsy excuse. ……Ah, by the way, Axel. How do I look in a dancer’s costume?」

「Mm? Aah, yeah. It suits you, you look nice.」

「Is that so? Fufu, glad to hear that.」

「Aaah, unfair! After telling me such a thing you go and casually appeal to master yourself? You sneaky hero of magic!!」

「There is nothing unfair about this. Things merely have a proper order to them. After you tend to him, it’s fine to show off. Naturally.」

「Aren’t you going a bit too far with your own rules, Lysnoir…!?」

And then the two started their usual scuffle.

……Well, I guess this means that both of them are energetic enough, so I’ll leave them be.

Berzelia was injured a while ago and Saki acted pretty reserved because of that.

……After all, attacks from majin are completely different from attacks by common monsters, both in power and in the damage they cause.

We are really fortunate that after taking such an attack she managed to recover and return to her usual self.

With those thoughts, I head to the room in the innermost part of the building.

The room behind a huge iron door. I knock on it.

「Daisy. I brought what you asked for from the merchants’ guild. 」

Calling out to Daisy behind that door, I then step inside.

There was another one of my traveling companions, carbuncle Daisy.

「Ooh, thank you, my friend! Sorry for troubling you so early in the morning.」

With a carbuncle’s characteristic jewel glittering on her chest, she turned my way, speaking those words.

「Don’t mind it, Daisy. It’s to fix my equipment after all.」

With those words, I handed her a paper bag that I received at the guild.

I merely got it on my way to finishing a request.

It’s not like I spent any time or effort on it. And alsoー

「Since we came to this town you are doing nothing but repairs, confining yourself to this room. I can’t help you with repairs, but I can at least carry the materials.」

Yes. Daisy, for almost the entire duration of our stay at this town, Daisy keeps to this room, working on repairs.

Be it day or night, sounds keep coming from it. It was the same both last evening and this morning. That alone is enough to understand just how exhausted she should be.

Because of that, if there was something needed, I will provide it myself, I said that a long time ago, so there is no problem at all. When I told her thisー

「Haha, saying this is just like you, my friend. But thanks to that the repairs are going smoothly, wait for just a little more until I finish.」

「Sure. Please tell me if there is anything else I can help you with.」

And while I had such an exchange with Daisyー

ーーGuu.

A sound of a rumbling stomach resounded through the room, with the source being right in front of me.

Daisy lowered her head a bit embarrassed.

「Uuh…… At such a time, right in front of my friend…… It’s a bit embarrassing……」

「No, no, there is no nothing to be embarrassed about. I know that you kept working since last night, of course, you’d be hungry.」

「……How should I put it, you really are keeping an eye on us……」

Daisy said and made a wry smile.

「Well, that being the case. When I went to the merchants’ guild I also bought some food. The duo over there also should be quite hungry, grappling since morning. The time is also good, let’s eat together.」

「Yes, sure!」

In such a fashion, we were spending our time in the City of Raging Sands.
