The road to Sylvester went on without any major problems.
　There were no bandits or demons that would challenge the ranks of several carriages, escorted by 20 members of the Kingsguard, and there were no bandits or demons that would challenge the ranks of several carriages.
　I could feel demons wandering around in the forest by exploration (search), but there was no sign of an attack.

I'm almost at Sylvester's. Cain-kun, you didn't bunk with me after all. ......

　He sighs at Silk, who is looking out with his mouth agape, and Cain replies as he listens to the exploration (search) to see what's going on along the way.

'We haven't even announced our engagement, and didn't Duke Eric tell you that?　And what Teles says: ......

　Thinking of Telestia who saw me off, I lightly show my refusal.
　She is a beautiful girl who is already over twenty years old in her previous life combined, a beautiful girl who would not have been in her previous life, but I don't lust after a child who still feels only a little bulge.
　The carriage went on uneventfully, and when it was around noon, the city walled city came into view.

'Viscount Cain, the city of Sylvester is now in sight.

　The knight of the guard called out from outside the carriage, and Cain nodded in response.

(And then there's the Count Ragnaf his majesty mentioned, or ...... I hope nothing else.

　The knight who had preceded him explained to the guards, and the gate was opened wide, with guards lined up on either side of it to greet Cain and his party.
　The merchants who were about to enter the city were surprised to see what was going on, but the guards urged them to clear the way.
　The carriage proceeded through the middle of the city, and even after entering the city, the carriage did not stop to head directly to the lord's residence.
　Entering the city and at a slow speed, after twenty minutes of advancing the carriage, they arrived at the lord's residence.

''Viscount Cain, we have arrived at the lord's mansion.

Okay, thank you.

　The carriage door opened and Cain dismounted ahead of him, taking Silk's hand to help him down.

'Thank you, Cain-kun,'

　Nodding at Silk's smile, I looked up at the lord's mansion and saw that several of his attendants, including the lord, were already lined up at the entrance.
　A man in his forties who seemed to be Count Ragnaf standing in the center came forward with his arms outstretched.

''Viscount Cain, Miss Silk. Welcome to the city of Sylvester. I am the lord of this city, Ragnaf von Rubert Sylvester. The blessings of the Marinefords welcome you all.

　The two men straightened their posture and bowed before greeting each other.

''Count Ragnaf, thank you for taking the trouble to welcome me. I am Viscount Cain von Silford Drintle. Thank you for your hospitality.''

Cirque von Santana. Thank you for your help.

This is very polite. You must be tired after your long journey. You will have a good rest today.

　The door was opened and a maid took the lead, and the two were led to the guest room. The guesthouse also stands next to the lord's residence, but they were to stay in the guest room of the lord's residence this time because the saint was staying there.
　The guest room was decorated with seven statues of the seven pillars, albeit small. There are quite a few differences from the actual gods, but they shouldn't be bothered.
　Immediately there was a knock on the door, the door was opened halfway and Silk came peeking in with only his face exposed.

''Cain-kun, may I come in?''

Come in.

　Silk, who came into the room, had already changed from her travel clothes and was wearing a colored dress typical of a noblewoman.

''Thank you. You still have five more days before the saint comes, right?　I'm not sure what I'll do until then.

'I'll have to pick you up near the border, but it looks like we'll be half a day from here and we can take a few days to relax, so why don't we go explore the city?'

"God, Cain. Don't call it a stroll, Cain. You can call it a date.

'--Yes, ....... They say this city has a lot of devoted Christians, and I'd like to visit the church.

　Cain wanted to meet the gods before he met the saint. He wouldn't be able to see through it, but if the saintess suddenly said 'Apostle' or something like that, he would be in trouble in this city. It can't be helped, even if it's just that her status is already an outsider and she's a sub-god.

''Then let's ask Ragnaf-sama at dinner. He wants to go into town tomorrow.''

Yeah, I think that's fine.

Okay. Cain, I haven't changed yet, so I'll see you at dinner!

　Silk left the room as soon as he said that.

　Cain also cleaned his travel clothes with his life magic, took out his noble clothes from the item box and changed, and since he had a little time before dinner, he sat down on his bed and meditated while performing the magic circulation.
　When I was concentrating, before I knew it, the setting sun was shining through the window and the maid came to call for dinner.

''Cain-sama, dinner is now ready. Ladies and gentlemen, you are all present.

Thank you. I'm coming.

　The maids ushered me into the dining room, and Ragnaf and Silk were already seated.

''Sorry to keep you waiting,''

　I was about to sit down beside Silk when he urged me to take a seat beside Ragnaf.

'No, no, Sir Cain is already the head of the family. He will be the guest of honor until the saint arrives.

　Ragnaf laughs and replies.

'Now that we are all here, let's make a toast. Thanks to the Seven Pillars of Marinefortism!　Cheers.

「「「「 cheers」」」」

　As it is the first day, a sumptuous meal is laid out. From there, the maids cut up the food and place it in front of you.

'Which of the Marinefordian gods does Sir Cain worship the most?

　When we had progressed a bit in our meal, Ragnaf approached me.

'I'm not a particularly specific god ......'

　Cain, who had met with all seven gods, didn't even feel the need to decide on a particular kind of superiority. That's exactly what the screen screen in God's world would look like in his mind.

''Is that so? That's not right!　The gods have their own roles to play. First--

　Ragnaf started talking about the seven pillars. It goes on forever, as if it were where he was breathing.
　I couldn't eat while he continued to talk, so I let the conversation flow as I ministered. Not even ten percent of what Ragnaf is talking about gets into his head.

'--That's why each god is all wonderful.

Good to see you. I didn't know you believed in the gods that much.

　They had been talking for what seemed like thirty minutes. Exhausted, Cain was at the limit of his ability to return that one word.
　After eating for a bit, he was invited by Ragnaf, who still hadn't talked enough after the meal, but he declined the offer, saying he was tired from the trip and wanted to relax.

　Back in his room, a limp Cain collapsed into bed.

'I can tell you're a really dedicated Christian, but I don't know why there's so much to talk about ......

　Out of mental exhaustion, he called up Haku and Gin and jumped into their fluffy fur to mop up and soothe them.

'I haven't been able to play with you guys lately, ...... and I guess I'm getting a little bigger for it.

　Haku is already nearly three meters in size. Cain dives into his belly and strokes his palpable fur.
　He really wanted to walk around the city with her, but he could imagine that walking with the divine wolf (Fenrir) and the divine dragon would certainly be a hassle.
　After enjoying his fur to the fullest, Cain went to bed and went to sleep.

　The next day, with Ragnaf's permission, he and Silk decided to go on a date together. Ragnaf offered to have a knight to accompany him on the escort, but he refused, saying it wasn't necessary. The knight who was escorting them was well aware of Cain's strength and could not be blamed for anything.
　The two of them walked along while looking at the city streets. As expected of them, they were wearing nobleman's clothes and were not sure what would happen if they walked around without an escort, so they wore superior plain clothes.

''Look, there's a row of delicious looking fruit.

　Silk points to a pile of colorful fruit on the eaves of the house. Because it's located in the south of the capital, the environment is warmer and the grapes are used to make wine.

It looks really good. I'll buy some on my way home.

Yes.

　They continued to walk around the city and arrived at their destination, the church.

We are going to pray, aren't we, Cain?　I'll join you.

　They placed the offering on the Sister at the entrance and came to the front of the altar and got down on one knee and clasped their hands together.
　Then, as usual, they were enveloped in a white light.
