137 Episode 17: Arrival at Drintre




 The adventurer and Raggett, who may have come from Drintru, are grabbing each other by the breastplate.

'What's the cheekiness of a country C-rank? I've survived in Drintle, and I'm a C-rank, okay?
''You have both country and Drintle in the same C-grade! An?

 Ninery is in the process of stopping them, but Raggett doesn't seem to be subsiding. They both seem to be drunk.
 Cain sighed and went inside and called out to them.

'Isn't it about time we stopped? The other customers are bothering me--
Shut up, you little brat! Shut up!
"Shut up, Cain! It's our problem.

 Not intending to listen to Cain's words, the two men put their hands on the hilt of their swords once they separated.
 If they pulled out their swords, that would be a big problem.
 Cain sighs deeply--.

''-- Let's both ...... stop it. ......

 At the same time as the words were spoken, the killing air from Cain dyed the inside of the cafeteria at once.
 The two men who were about to start a fight received the killing air directly, and their teeth chattered in fear and their bodies shook.
 And it wasn't just Ninari who was trying to stop them, but all the other adventurers eating in the cafeteria were also shaking their bodies in fear.

''Hey, what the hell are you ......?''

 Raggett says with a pale face, but the Drintle adventurer who turned around looks at Cain's face and stiffens at once.

'---- and the silver-haired devil (Silver Devil).

 There is no adventurer in Drintle who does not know his name.
 The silver-haired kid who wrecked the guild's training grounds and drove a senior adventurer who had a mock battle (cuteness) in Drintru to retirement.
 As expected, only a limited number of people know that he's a lord, so no one here knows who he is.

(Silver-haired Devil (Silver Devil) or ......, another terrible street name for you. ......)

 As Cain takes a step closer, the Drintle adventurer sits back and steps back.
 Then Cain smiles and tells them.

''This is the tavern of the inn. It would be a nuisance if we got out of control, wouldn't it? If you were an adventurer, you'd know that much: ...... right?

 Those in the dining room, trembling with fear at Cain's words, buzz their heads up and down.
 Then they extinguish the killing spirit and address Raggett with a smile.

'Drintle is full of adventurers, you know. Please be careful, okay? Oh, excuse me. One fruit juice, please.

 The waitress who works at the bar also got killed and ran into the counter, shaking, but Cain's words brought her back to herself, "Hi! I'm home! I said and began to prepare.
 The preparations were made like Mach, and the drinks were placed in front of Cain.
 The adventurer who fought with Raggett also left the restaurant as his companion paid the bill and ran away.
 Cain sat down at the seat he had just received and drank the drink and proceeded to eat, but none of the people at the same table touched it.

'What's the matter?'

 Cain, who asked the question while mugging his mouth, and Ninalee, who was a bit distant, opened her mouth in a whisper.

''--Cain-kun is ...... what the hell .......

 Cain smiles and says one word in response to the question.

'...... I'm just a Drintle adventurer, you know?'

 I'm sure everyone who was there thought the same thing. 'That's ridiculous,' said .......
 But none of the people who had experienced the horror I just described could say it to their faces.
 Feeling a little sorry for the funeral-like quiet of the tavern, Cain returned to his room as soon as possible.

''I think I went a little too far ...... I didn't mean to make the killing spree that strong.


 The next day, after breakfast, the entire escort prepares the carriage and waits in front of the inn where Reline stayed.
 Perhaps it's because of what happened yesterday, the four of them are waiting with a little distance between them and Cain.

(Did I miss it yesterday?)

 With that in mind, I wait for the Relines to come out.
 After a short pause, Reline and the others came out. After greeting them gracefully, they got into the carriage and left.
 On the road, it was a change from yesterday, and it was quiet. Raggett also seems to be reserved from the way Cain changed yesterday.
 In the middle of all this, Ninari spoke to Cain.

''Cain-kun, Cain-kun is actually - quite famous ......?''

 Cain smiles at Ninery, who is a little nervous.

'I don't think so, though ....... There was a little bit of that in Drintle's guild, though: ......

 As Cain explains as if he were slurring his words, Ninery pats his chest in relief.
 In fact, those who know Cain's deeds don't even make eye contact with him, and those who know he's a lord shouldn't be able to speak to him casually.

''Isn't that right? You're so cute, but yesterday people were calling you weird names: ...... 'Silver Devil' or something fussy like that?

 Cain smiled and nodded at his words. When Ninalie smiled, she said, "We need to clear up everyone's misconceptions," and ran to the other members' place.
 And thanks to Ninery's explanation, they were able to break the ice a bit during the lunch break, but only Raggett still kept his distance.
 After lunch, there was an opportunity for the goblins to come out of the forest a little further on, but Raggett would be the first to charge in and deal with them.
 While he was doing that, Drintru comes into view.
 Drintru is surrounded by an incredibly magnificent outer wall, thanks to Cain's magic. The outer wall, which stretches for several kilometers, elicits a shout from my companions who are seeing it for the first time.

''Wow ....... So this is Drintle. ......''
Really awesome ......

 The city's entrance gate was crowded with merchants' carriages. They were waiting for their turn at the checkpoint, and it was obvious that the sun was going to go down if they didn't.
 Cain tells them that he will negotiate to let them in first, and leaves the place alone.
 He walked past the lone line and approached the young guard.

''I'm from the guard, but a noblewoman is passing by, may I be allowed to pass?''
'Nobility! Which one is it?
'I will be the Countess of Legant in the city of Misanga.
The Countess' ....... Just in case you have an ID--
No. You can let him through if he's with you.

 The mature guard interrupted the young guard's words.

''You may enter as is. I mean, is it ...... adventurer earning ...... Cain-sama ......

 At the end, Cain smiles and bows lightly to the grand old guard who speaks in a whisper.

''Thank you. This time I'm an escort. Don't tell anyone about my position! Well then, I'll go get the carriage!

 Cain leaves those words and runs to the carriage.
 The young guard tilts his head and asks a question at the mature guard's response.

'Captain, can we just let it pass? I haven't checked anything, sir.
"? ...... Remember this well. That man is--

 The captain of the guard softly tells Cain's position in the young guard's ear.

''? My lord! Really (seriously) ....... That guy is the rumored ......
If you're gonna work in this town, you better learn to live with it.
Hi!

 Unaware of such an exchange, Cain returned to the carriage and told him that he could go straight through.

'You're a local adventurer indeed: ......

 Raggett leaks a few words at the treatment, too.
 The carriage breezed past the carriages lined up for entry, and the guards were lined up on either side of the gate entrance, and they walked past them into the city.
 Even the adventurers were baffled by the welcome, as if they were being given VIP treatment.
 And as the group entered the city, they revealed their amazement at the paved cobblestones and the roads that took up so much space.

''This ...... is more beautifully built up than the King's City, isn't it ......?
You really did say this happened after you became ...... the new lord.

 Ninery and Mine walk through the city, talking in whispers.
 Raggett and Cross also moved through the city, nervously taking in its neatly maintained streets.
 Cain didn't seem to be particularly bothered by them, leading them to the front of the line and leading them to the most exclusive inn in Drintle.
 Lelene and her retinue would be staying at this inn, but Raggett and the other four of his guards would be staying at another inn.
 The squire dismounted from the carriage and went to the reception first, followed by Relene getting down from the carriage.

''Thank you, Master Cain, for even making these arrangements.
I'm just doing my job as a bodyguard. This is as far as I go, so please sign the request form.

 Cain handed the request form out of his pocket to the squire, and the squire handed it back to him with his signature scrawled on it.

'Thank you. My escort is up here, but I will show you to the inn where Raggett and the others are staying.'

 As he leads Raggett and his friends to the inn, Reline calls out to Cain.

''Oh, ...... Cain-sama ...... actually after thisーー''

 Cain smiled and nodded at Reline's words.
