73 Episode 38: After the attack 4




 The morning arrives and everyone is around the table at the dinner table.
 Edin and Letia are there, as well as Dash, Himika, and Enak.

''School starts today, so we'll be coming here again this weekend. I've requested that the inn be repaired, so I'm sure you'll be contacted by this mansion when it's finished. Please take it easy until next week. If you have any problems, please ask the butler, Dalmatia.

 Dalmatia stands behind Cain and takes a bow.
 Everyone nodded, but as usual, Enak seemed to miss Cain. However, Cain was a student, so it was inevitable.
 After finishing the meal and greeting him, he decided to transition directly to Edin-san and the guild's office. This was because Edin-san told me that it would be no problem to do so here in person.

''Cain-kun, I think I'll be going to Drintle again in the near future. I'll look after you then.

 He couldn't seem to endure the agony of being rocked by a carriage for two days, partly because of the fact that he could go there in an instant with transfer magic.

''If you use it that much, you won't be able to go anywhere else.

 After they laughed at each other, Cain transitioned from the guild to the mansion.
 Once he returned to the mansion and changed into his uniform, he headed to the academy.
 Holidays were meant to be a relaxing rest, but with so much going on in the estate, the academy had become the best place for Cain to rest.
 Even though it was only morning, he was down at his desk and stretched out his hands in front of him, exhausted.

'Too much happened over the weekend ....... I'm tired already.'
You look so exhausted already, Master Cain: ......
Cain, you can't be ten years old yet.

 There was Teres and Silk peeking at him anxiously, but he didn't have much energy left to reply back cheerfully. He raised his hand in reply and then fell down on his desk again.
 He had taken the class, but Cain had almost traveled off into the dream world. What he was doing in class was something he already understood and there was nothing wrong with it.
 The teacher conducting the class also didn't seem to be particularly bothered by the fact that Duke Eric had contacted the headmaster of the school.
 And the day's classes are all over.
 I have a meeting with His Majesty now.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.
'Of course you can! I'm happy to be with Master Cain, too.
'I love it, Teres. I'd like to ride home in a carriage with you, Cain, once in a while.
When you've calmed down a bit, we can go shopping in town sometime!

 Cain was curious about Silk's slightly lonely face, so he made a suggestion to them.
 At that moment, their faces turned into smiles as if a flower bloomed to perk up.

''Let's definitely go! I'm looking forward to it.
I don't know if that's a good idea. I promise.

 He said goodbye to a smiling Silk and rode to the royal castle in Therese's carriage.
 When they arrived at the royal castle, they were ushered into the usual reception room and enjoyed the tea served to them by the maid.

'Sorry to keep you waiting,'

 Vizier Magna and his father, Garum, come in. Then, a little later, His Majesty enters the room.

Garum has told me about the Home Secretary. I've decided that since you have no problems with your character, I've decided to let you take over as deputy.
'We're already in King's Landing, so they should be here soon. That shouldn't be a problem.

 The four of us discussed the future course of action, imagining someone we hadn't yet met, who would be a deputy.
 There was a knock on the door and the maid brought in a new deputy.
 A young man with blue hair, only twenty years old, was shown into the room.
 And Cain's eyes widened in surprise.


 The man who entered was Alec von Silford, who was also Garum's second son. He was eight years older than Cain and eighteen years old. He was a beautiful, slightly slender man with the same blue hair as his father, Garum. Originally, even when he had attended the academy to help the djinn, he had chosen to study city planning and management by choosing the internal affairs department.
 Alec entered the room and first greeted His Majesty and the Prime Minister with a bow after straightening his posture.

'My name is Alec von Silford. I am the second son of Garum. Thank you for your offer of a deputy.''
Hmm. That should be no problem for you. I'm hoping you can be a stopper for Cain's insanity.

 His Majesty urges Alec to sit down, saying something unnecessary.

'Isn't that Brother Alec! You said you were going to help Brother Jin in Gracia territory.
'Well, the Gracia territory is calm and there's not much to do. When your father approached me about it, I felt like I could do a lot of work, so I gave him the OK right away.


 Alec sat down next to Cain and the talks resumed again.

'As for the church, I believe the bishop is going to send a new priest to the church. He's going to be accompanied by the church's auditor at that time, and he's going to look into the bookkeeping relationships that have been in place.

 Prime Minister Magna explained about the church.

''As for the Adventurer's Guild, I went to Drintle yesterday with Guild Master Edin-san. He said that one person from the King's Capital Guild will be sent to take on the role of sub-guild master and auditor. As for the guildmaster of Drintle, he said that he had no knowledge of this matter, but I heard that he needs to be punished as the person in charge. However, he said that the disciplinary action is currently pending and that he will decide on the details of the disciplinary action based on his future work.

 Cain turned to His Majesty and the others and explained the events of yesterday.
 Everyone nodded at Cain's explanation.

''Excuse me. May I have a moment?''

 It was Alec who interrupted me.

'We're talking about yesterday and today, but Drintle is two days away from the royal capital by carriage, right? Despite the distance, it sounds very timely. ...... Moreover, I have been told that I have been told by the internal affairs officer to be a deputy this time, but I have not heard any details. What's going on in town? ......

 Everyone sighs at Alec's words.

"Alec, Cain is quite out of the ordinary. He has acquired the now-legendary magic of transference and can travel back and forth between King's Landing and Drintle in an instant. The moment he became the lord of Drintrudle, he destroyed the guild's training grounds, pissed off the church, and defeated the former deputies and the Dark Guild who were pulling the strings behind the scenes. Now there are more than fifty people trapped in the guardhouse.

 Garum was dumbfounded and explained to Alec what had just happened.
 Alec made an incredulous face as he was listening and compared the faces of Garum and Cain.
 The Prime Minister, including His Majesty, nodded in agreement with Garum's explanation.

''Such ....... I thought he was a cute little brother, but I didn't know he was doing that much .......

 As expected, Alec was surprised by Cain's insanity.

'That's why I told you earlier. I asked you to be a stopper for Cain's insanity.
So that's what happened: ......

 Alec nodded at His Majesty's words. As for Cain, he didn't know what was insane. I just think I did the right thing. It's just the result of trying to improve the city of Drintle as a lord.

''Please don't talk about people like they're a bunch of insane people like that! I just got rid of the bad guys.

""That's not happening!"

 The voices of His Majesty, Prime Minister Magna, and Garum overlap.
 Cain's shoulders slumped as he was told he was insane, even though he wasn't aware of it, and he gulped.

'Speaking of which, Cain. Is the city fine while you're in King's Landing? The remnants of the Dark Guild could be attacking the Lord's Mansion.

 In response to a question from His Majesty, Cain didn't seem bothered by it.

''It's fine about that matter. I've hired a powerful steward. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if there was an attack by a hundred people.''

 They all break out in a cold sweat as Cain replies in a matter-of-fact manner. They are absolutely convinced that this guy is doing something.
 In fact, it's because Cain had a criminal record of summoning and contracting the Demon King with summoning magic last time.

''--Oh, you summoned something again, didn't you ......

 His Majesty's cold voice pierced Cain.
 At that moment, Cain's eyes swam. His Majesty and the Prime Minister, who had dealt with the bellied aristocrat for years, could not have failed to notice the expression on his face.

''Cain! You're never gonna get away with anything! Be honest with me!

 His Majesty slapped the desk with his hands and crowded into Cain.
 Cain felt the cold stare from everyone and his shoulders slumped in contemplation.

''The steward was not summoned by me. At first I was going to use Set, who is under contract, as a bodyguard for the lord's mansion, but he seemed to be busy, so Set introduced me to someone who is a retired general to be the butler instead.

'You said Set, you said Set ....... You're the Demon King who signed a contract with Set ...... before! You're using that subordinate's former general as your butler!

 At Cain's words, His Majesty is even more stuffed when he hears that the Demon King's men are his stewards.
 The Prime Minister and his father Garum already look resigned.

''How many times do I have to tell you not to do something that ......, that insane!

 His Majesty's face turned red, and at last, as if exhausted, he sat down weakly in his seat.

''--That's enough. You can do what you like with Drintru. I'm tired of talking to you in earnest. I'm going back to my bedroom for a bit to sleep. ......

 His Majesty's shoulders slumped, and he left the room in silence.
 Garum and the Prime Minister held their heads in their hands.


''Cain, I've learned a lot today about how insane you are.

 Alec was the only one who gave me a fresh smile.
