According to Hinata's wishes, they were going to have a cookout in the slums, including people from the church.
　After picking them up at the royal castle, Cain and Hinata went to the church in a carriage in the morning.
　However prosperous the Esfort Kingdom is, there are still slums. Some are not in the orphanage and others are sitting on the corner of the road, unable to work.
　In the midst of such people, the carriage moves forward.
　When they arrived at the soup kitchen, several people, including the sisters, were already preparing for the soup kitchen.
　Hinata rolled up the arms of her robe and entered it to help.
　Cain, who was accompanying her as an escort, watched Hinata from nearby.
　He cooks the vegetables and meat in a large skillet and prepares a bowl and spoon.
　As the cookout begins, the slum residents gather in such a way that there are so many people here.
　The guards guide the line and guide the slum dwellers, but there are so many of them that we are surprised. The city of Drintru also had slums, albeit on a small scale. Now, with the demolition of the Dark Guild, job placement and the building of orphanages, apartment complexes and academies, it was already no longer a struggle to live.
　However, unlike Drintle, where thousands of people live, King's Landing is a huge city that is said to have 300,000 inhabitants. It would require a huge budget and personnel, and it would not be that easy to do.
　Hinata stood in front of the many skittles and personally transferred the food from the skittles into bowls and handed them to the residents of the slum. There was no end to the number of people who shed tears of gratitude at the sight of her handing them over.
　There are still dozens of people waiting in line to receive their food.
　As Cain was watching them, two guards came running towards Cain.
　Slightly out of breath, the guards, according to Cain's proximity, took a big deep breath to catch their breath and spoke to Cain.

''Is it Viscount Silford? We have an urgent call from the royal castle.''

Yes, I am, but ......, I'm the saint's bodyguard now.

　Cain is here in this place in his role as the saint's guard. I didn't know why I was being called out now.

'Yes, but ......, the Marquis of Corzino has asked me to call Viscount Silford .......

　Hearing Corzino's name, Cain frowned.
　Cain, who was only a lower class nobleman, a viscount, would normally have had no choice but to obey if called upon by a higher class nobleman, a marquis, but he was going to refuse Cain because he had received a royal order to be the saint's escort.

''I'm sorry, but it shouldn't be now. I guess it's time to send the saint-sama away.''

　Cain replied, but the guard looked apologetic and began to plead with him that he had been told to be sure to bring him in.
　As they were exchanging such an exchange, a voice called out from behind them.

''Lord Cain, you have been summoned to King's Castle. We'll be enough to escort the saintly lady. You may go.

It was the captain of the guard who called out to him from behind. He looked as if he wanted the interloper to go away.

''That being said, I'm an escort now, so I'm ......

So you don't trust our guards?　You say you can't protect a saint with the honor guard of the Church and State?

Okay, okay. I'll take it off for a little while. In the meantime, thank you.

　 Cain had no choice but to nod and head to the King's Castle.

''I'm heading to the king's castle now. I'm sorry, but you'll need to gather a few guards with the saint-sama's guards. If anything happens to the saint-sama, we'll have a problem.

　The guards nodded and one of them went to call for backup. Cain explained to Hinata that he had been called to the royal castle and would be removed once, and he got into the carriage and headed to the royal castle.
　After about thirty minutes, they arrived at the royal castle and were led by a maid to the Marquis of Corzino's office. The door knocked, and when the maid informed him of his business, he heard a voice from inside saying, "You may come in," so the door was opened and the maid waited at the side.

'Please go in: ......'

　Accosted by the maid, Cain entered Corzino's office.
　The office was lavishly decorated in every corner. It didn't seem to be in very good taste, but it had become a favorite pastime for the rich.

'Cain von Silford Drintle, sir. His Excellency, the Marquis of Corzino, what can I do for you?" ......

　The Marquis of Corzino, who was lounging in his office, grinned and beckoned him to join him.
　The Marquess of Corzino, holding a heavy body, sat face to face with the Marquess of Corzino, who led him to the sofa.

''Sir Cain, I have a favor to ask you today. ...... I'd like to have a glass that is sold by the Salakhan Trading Company, which is a close friend of Sir Cain's, ...... somehow. I'm sure my wife saw them when she went to another house and insisted on having them. There's nothing we can do about it.

　When he left the saint's guard to go to the castle, he thought it was an important matter, but when he found out it was a trivial matter, Cain was immensely disappointed.
　He was in a bad mood when he thought he had to leave his bodyguard for such a trivial matter.

I'm sorry, but there is a limit to the number of items sold. If you make a reservation, I'm sure you'll be contacted as soon as it's ready: ......

　No matter how much he's in a bad mood, the other party is a senior nobleman. I can't be indifferent and return a polite reply.

The thing is, even if you use the name of the Marquess family, you still have to wait for months for a reservation. For something that costs a single gold coin!　Yes, that glassware is wonderful. That's why they are used by the higher nobility, right?　Hey, Sir Cain.

We leave it completely up to the Chamber of Commerce to sell it: ......

　Nevertheless, the Marquis of Corzino tries to extract it from Cain.

'Lord Cain has some things that he doesn't wholesale to the Chamber of Commerce, doesn't he?　All you have to do is share a little of that with me. I'll advise you on how to govern the territory from now on and what to do with it.

　The Marquis of Corzino, who is becoming more and more haughty, makes Cain's face tighten. Indeed, there is still a glass tucked away in Cain's item box. This is something that is regularly presented to the king, and it is not something that can be produced so easily. Even if there was, it would not be the first thing to serve to the Marquis of Corzino, who holds a dislike for it.
　However, it is not possible to stay here for long while in the midst of the current mission of guarding the saint, and as if remembering, Cain took out a box from the item box and placed it on the table.

''These will be a pair of glasses. If this is all you want, I can give them to you.

　The Marquis of Corzino's eyes widened and he opened the lid of the box with an expected deftness.
　There were two glasses in it, one with a red pattern and the other with a blue pattern.
　The Marquis of Corzino lowered the corners of his eyes at the beauty of the glass.

''Oh!　That's it!　Thank you, Sir Cain. I'll have two gold coins ready at once.

　He raised his heavy body and took a small bag from his own office desk drawer and produced two gold coins from it.

'Now my wife won't have to complain about it. I appreciate it.

No, no, I'm sorry it's the least I can do.

　Cain tucks the gold he received into his pocket.

''Well then, I have a saintly escort to take care of, so I'll take my leave.

　Cain leaves his seat to return to his escort early.
　He left the room of Marquis Corzino, who was in a good mood, and took a breath.
　The pair of glasses that I gave to Marquis Corzino was a gift for the guests who came to the unveiling of the mansion. The Marquis Corzino and his son didn't give it to him because he and his son had run away early to incur the king's wrath.
　I'm sure you're not going to be able to find out what I'm talking about, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out what I'm talking about. And in the form of two gold coins, a form of compensation.
　Cain left the castle as soon as possible to return to Hinata's escort.


　It took him thirty minutes to return to the soup kitchen by carriage. As they got closer, Cain noticed that they were moving as strangely as other people.
　Some of them seemed to be running away with their vessels. It's a very good idea to get out of the carriage and make your way through the crowd to the site of the soup kitchen.


　-- and there was Hinata lying there.

　Cain ran over to the spot.

'What's going on here?'

　Cain yelled at the guards who were guarding him.

'I'm not sure, but I thought ...... a child ran at me and touched the saint a little bit, and then a little while later he suddenly fell down.'

　Cain held Hinata in his arms and put on his "high heels".
　That did not bring Hinata back to consciousness.

'Let's get her to the church!　Bring my carriage to me!

　Cain yelled at the guards, and the guards ran towards the carriage that Cain had come in.
　He then blocked Cain's path as he tried to get Hinata into the carriage.

'This is the fault of this country. ...... What are you going to do about it!

　Ignoring the angry captain of the guard, Cain left the carriage.
　Five minutes from the soup kitchen, they reached the church and Cain went inside with Hinata in his arms. Then he put her down on a bed in the room that had been prepared for her.
　The bishop, who came to the room, saw her symptoms and made her pale.

''I didn't expect that Saint Lady ....... I didn't know this was going to happen .......

Bishop, I'm not getting any better even after I cast a recovery spell.

　The bishop shook his head at the impatient Cain.

'This may be a poison. ...... Let me put a 'detoxification (cure)' on it.

　The bishop cast an antidote spell on Hinata, but her complexion did not recover at all.

''What kind of poison doesn't work even if it's detoxified (cured): ......

　The bishop's despairing face is an afterthought, and Cain has cast an appraisal that he didn't often use on people.


'Appraisal.'

'Bishop, do you know what Delpone's poison is?'

　As soon as he heard those words, the bishop's face went pale, and then he looked resigned.
