All assets of the Narnis Chamber of Commerce were confiscated by the state. All of it, including all of its domestic strongholds, was placed in the control of the state.
　And Matthias was assassinated on the night of the fire, including the adventurers who were imprisoned with him. Including, of course, the adventurers who were imprisoned with him.
　He was imprisoned in the guard's cell in the guard's station, but someone broke in and found him dead in the morning with the guards who were guarding him.

　When Vizier Magna later told him about it, Cain was outraged.

'So what's the proof ......?'
'That's why the Chamber of Commerce was in that street and Mathias's home was raided by someone who took everything away.

　In the reception room of the royal castle, Prime Minister Magna and Cain were discussing the matter of this incident.

''Speaking of which, ...... lil, no, I heard from His Royal Highness Riltana that the Narnis Chamber of Commerce had been leaked by the captured adventurers that the senior nobles were behind the scenes .......
About that: ...... It's probably Corzino, of course. The only thing he does is to leave no evidence. If he had proof, he could be questioned, but in this case, he wouldn't have any ....... I hope you'll be quiet about this: ......

　This time, the Marquis of Corzino was not punished in any way for being gray. It's only dealt with that he only encountered the incident when he accompanied the Chamber of Commerce in a business transaction. The Marquis Corzino, who coordinates with other countries as Minister of Foreign Affairs, was told by Prime Minister Magna that he could not be dismissed from his position as he also handles his duties without a hitch.
　Finally, a message from the king is delivered.

I have a message from Your Majesty, Sir Cain. Sir Cain, come to think of it, Your Majesty has a message for you. I don't have any proof, so I don't know who did it.
"--I really do. ...... I wonder what kind of natural disaster has happened. ......

　Cain could only reply with a bitter smile.

　

'I know who did it, though: ......

　In the carriage on the way back to the royal castle, Cain muttered.
　But I knew that Cain was also the one who destroyed the Marquis of Corzino's mansion, including the king, but I will not charge him with a crime.
　It was the same thing. However, the destruction of a high-ranking nobleman's mansion was more impactful than the incident that occurred among the commoners, and it was a famous gossip among the nobility.

''I'll take a request for a diversion: ......

　When Cain arrived at the mansion, he quickly dressed as an adventurer and left the mansion to head to the Adventurer's Guild.
　The guild in the royal capital still has a large number of receptionists.

''You've been Letia-san until now ...... in charge of .......

　He looks at the request list, but the bulletin board only lists requests up to grade B. For requests of grade A and above, he has to check directly with the receptionist.
　Cain lines up at the place of the unknown receptionist and waits his turn.
　After about five minutes, it's Cain's turn and he calls out to her.

'Welcome. Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild Royal Capital Headquarters. You wish to see me?　Or do you want to register as an adventurer at ......?

　The receptionist, who is still in her teens, looks at Cain and speaks to him, thinking he's either consulting or registered due to his young age and lack of a request form.

'No. I'm thinking of taking a request for something, but I thought maybe I should ask Mr. Edin about it. Um ...... don't be surprised.
"What ...... what surprises you about ......?

　Cain gently places the Adventurer's Guild Certificate on the table. Of course it's a platinum (platinum) S-rank adventurer's certificate.
　Looking at the guild certificate, the receptionist held her mouth with both hands to suppress a shout.

''Please wait a moment. I'll go ask the guild master right away.''

　The receptionist sat up impatiently and walked into the back of the room. Then she came back in a few minutes.

''The guild master will be meeting with you. Let me show you around.''
Thank you.

　Cain followed the receptionist to the Guildmaster's office.
　He knocked on the door and told her that Cain had come, and he was immediately given permission to enter the room.

''Oh, brother-in-law (Cain), thank you for coming, you're very welcome. I'm done with you. I want to talk to you alone.
Yes!　Excuse me.

　When Cain entered the room, the receptionist closed the door nervously.
　Cain sat down on the sofa and Edin made two cups of tea and placed them on the table.

'I'm sorry to see you on such short notice. I thought I'd do a request for something once in a while, but Letia-san was here before .......
You're right. 'Is Letia doing well?　I'm sure the Lixetu amulet is hard to keep track of.

　Edin laughs and sips his tea.

'Things seem to be turning out well. The deputy, brother Alec, hasn't said anything to me either, so I guess it's all good.'
'Oh, I'm glad to hear that. Well, Letia is excellent. On the other hand, since I pulled it out of here, it's harder for me. So you're requesting ...... Cain-kun, do you think you'd like to try your hand at guarding or something?
Are you an escort ......?

　Cain has not made a request to vacate the royal capital for a long period of time by attending the school.
　Moreover, Cain himself is a noble head of the family, and if that comes to light, there will be problems. I don't know what will happen, especially when nobles are involved.

I've got an interesting request. I thought it wouldn't be a problem for Cain-kun. Of course, I'm not going to accept it alone, okay?　I need you to take the form of blending in with the guards.
Interesting request: ...... That's a bit concerning.
Actually, the target of my escort is a nobleman's son, but there's a lot going on. ...... Where we're headed...

　Edin goes on to explain the request.

　By the time he finished explaining, they were both smiling.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

　First thing in the morning of the weekend, a few private guards and adventurers surrounded the luxurious carriage. Cain was among them, as were four other adventurers.
　The four adventurers looked like they were still a little older than they were. They were a party of four, two men and two women.
　The male adventurer, who seemed to be the leader of the party, complained.

'Why do we even have to take care of these kids? I don't know what the guild is thinking at all. ......
'Don't say that. It's our first time in the city. You need someone who knows the city. What's your name?　I'm Ninery. This loudmouth is our leader, Raggett, and then there's Cross and Mine.
Hi, my name is Cain. Nice to meet you for the next two days.

　Cain bowed to the four guards and greeted them.
　Raggett clicked his tongue and headed for his client.

'Sorry for the wait. We are ready to go. We're leaving now.'

　At Raggett's words, the carriage's small window opens.

'Yes, please depart.'

　A young girl's voice can be heard through the small window. Then the Gosha gives the signal, and the private soldier on the lead horse advances, then the wagon begins to move, then the wagons.
　Then Raggett calls out to them.

'Let's go then. Onward to Drintru (・・・・・)!

　Cain and his men set off for Drintle, where Cain reigned.
