Good morning, Master Cain.
Good morning, Mr. Cain!
Good morning, Teres, Silk.

　Terestia and Silk in their uniforms wave hello to Cain.

'Good morning, Cain,'
Good morning, Lil.

　Beside her, Riltana was also smiling.
　There were twenty-one students in the S class, but in the end, there were sixteen students heading to Ilsin.
　Due to the long training period of more than a month, some of them were unable to go due to family reasons and other reasons.
　Five carriages were prepared for the school, and four students would be assigned to each carriage.
　The three teachers who will accompany them will ride on the remaining one carriage.

''-- Why am I here ......?''

　Cain's carriage was in the same carriage as Telestia, Silk, and Riltana.

'It's hey ......'

　Telestia and Silk look at each other and smile at each other.

(You two definitely got your hands around ......)

　No matter how much it is said that there is no hierarchy of nobles in the school, the teacher would not be able to say no to a request from the royalty if he was asked to do so.
　Moreover, the king has personally asked for three guards as well.
　There is also Duke Eric, who is in charge of the academy.
　It wasn't surprising that instructions could have come from anywhere.
　It can't be helped, Cain sighed.
　The four of them were chatting until they got into the carriage when a voice called out from behind them.

'Oi!　Cain, it's been a while!

　Cain turned and smiled.

'It's been a while. How have you all been?'

　The four people there were Claude, Lina, Millie and Nina.

'Oh!　I've been fine, okay?　I was told it was an urgent appointment request from the state, and I asked him about it. ...... Your babysitter, right?　It blew my mind.

　baciennial

　Lina smacked Claude's head from behind.

''That's why I'm telling you, Cain......-sama is a nobleman!　And what are you saying to the Count!

　Milly and Nina stood in front of Cain, laughing at the exchange between the two of them.
　The two of them were looking up at each other, and before they knew it, Cain had caught up to their height.

''Cain, you've grown up great. You were that small, and now you're about to be overtaken.''
Yes, Cain, you're looking great. I love you...

　Unintentionally, Cain held Nina's mouth down before she could finish her answer.
　Nina started to say 'mistress' or something like that every time things happened.
　I was relieved that I stopped her before she said it, but I felt a chill run down my back.
　Fearfully and quietly turned back - and there were two demons there.
　Moreover, even Riltana was sending a cold gaze at Cain.

''Cain-sama, do you need to talk to me for a moment?''
Would you like to sit up straight first, Mr. Cain?
I would love to sit down with you for a long time.

　For some reason, he was brought to the back of the carriage and Cain was made to sit upright.

''Those are the people who came to the school as teachers before, right?　Why is Master Cain so close to you?

　Cain sits upright and explains that he was a tutor in his childhood and so on.

'--I see. I understand about this matter. But Cain-sama, I am going to another country now. Please be careful enough.

"--Yes ......

　The three of them were reluctantly convinced by Cain's desperate defense.

'But you were going to say 'mistress' earlier, weren't you?　Cain-kun.

　At Silk's words, the sermon went back to square one again, and continued until the carriage was about to depart.

　The carriage was built with room for six people.
　Terestia, Silk, and Riltana sat in the back, with Cain sitting alone in front of them, facing each other.
　At first, Telestia and Silk tried to sit on either side of Cain, but Cain adamantly refused.
　Cain is relieved because of Riluthanna's position, and she quickly convinced him there.

''But from now on, it's like a dream to be able to spend more than a month with Cain-sama.
Oh, yeah, Cain, you're always away.
'It's ...... a lord, and I'll have to look at Drintle.
Speaking of which, I remember the first city was Drintle. Lady Cain's city. I'm looking forward to it.

　The Republic of Illustin is in the north of the Kingdom of Esfort. You have to go through several cities to get there, but for some reason this time we had to take a little detour and stop in Drintru.
　It was a notice from the school that seeing Drintle, which was developing rapidly in the Esfort Kingdom, would be useful in the future, but as Cain, he walked around the city dressed in plain clothes, or nobleman's clothes, or perhaps an adventurer's outfit.
　While many of the people he knew were familiar with him, he had never shown himself in his uniform.

　They spent the night in an inn town halfway through the city, and the next afternoon the city of Drintle was in sight without incident.
　For the past week or so, Cain had arranged to hunt nearby demons at his request as a lord, and he hadn't encountered any demons.

'It's almost Drintle. I can see the city.''

　A voice came from the guards.
　Telestia and the others opened the windows of the carriage and shouted at the city wall of Drintle.

''Master Cain, is that Drintle?　Isn't it ...... more respectable than King's Landing?
Great!　I've never seen a beautiful all-white exterior wall before.
Even the Empire has such a beautiful exterior: ......

　The three of them put their thoughts into words.
　With the unstoppable growth of the population, Cain had once again expanded the outer walls of the city.
　He spread the city further to the east, west, north, south and west, raising the walls to about ten meters high.
　The fact that he pays his tax revenue exactly and pays more than other fiefdoms, he never receives any inspections from the royal capital.
　Taking advantage of this, Cain made full use of his immense magical power and kept remodeling the city.
　This is due to Cain's magical power, Lula's architectural knowledge and Alec, who has already given up.

　Cain and the others' carriages are advancing on the fourth carriage.
　They had left Alec to make arrangements for lodging and other things, but Cain was a little worried.
　When the lead carriage went under the gate, cheers went up from within the city.
　Wondering what's going on, Cain also looks out the window.
　There was ----.

　Soldiers lined both sides of the broadly built cobblestone road, with the city's residents waving a unified flag behind them.
　The residents, who must number more than 10,000 in number, are gathered together in one place.
　Everyone, from adults to children, is holding the flag and shouting at the carriage.
"What's this!

　Cain couldn't help but shout out.

''Master Cain ......, isn't this indeed too much ......?
It's nice to be welcomed, but is this really more than just King's Landing?
'Master Cain is welcome, isn't he?

　Cain broke out in a cold sweat at the three men's words.
　He hadn't been informed of anything. It's not unreasonable.
　The teachers accompanying him must be baffled as well.
　In the meantime, Claude, his bodyguard, comes up next to the carriage and calls out to Cain, "Cain, that's great!

'Cain, it's amazing. Your town. I don't think I've ever been welcomed like this before.

　Claude says with a laugh, but Cain can only chuckle.
　Cheered, the students in the carriage wave to the residents.
　Telestia and Silk show their faces through the window as well, and the cheering gets even louder as they wave.

'The princess is here too!　Wow!
'Long live the Kingdom of Esfort!　Long live Master Cain!

　It was Cain who decided to preach a sermon to those who had planned this amidst the welcoming voices.

　
　The lead carriage proceeded with the lord's soldiers leading the way.
　The carriage proceeded through the center of the city and headed straight to the lord's hall.

''---- maybe ......''

　Cain's cold sweat breaks out on his back.
　The school carriage was guided into the grounds of the Lordship House.
　It then stopped in front of the Lordship House.
　In front of the lord's pavilion, all of the squires were lined up in the center, including Alec and Dalmatia, Coran and Silvia, who must have come from the royal capital, in front of the lord's pavilion.

　Even the students, teachers and guards who got out of the carriage, looked stunned.
　Similarly, Terestia, Silk and Riltana, who got off the carriage as well, had the same expression on their faces.

　-- And then, Telestia looks at Cain with a drawn-out expression.

'---- Cain-sama, why is there a castle (...) here that is more magnificent than the ---- king's castle? It's ......?


　The mansion where the carriage was stopped - the lord's mansion (castle) was built, which was more magnificent than the royal castle in the royal capital.

　Cain sighed loudly as he said, "I knew you'd say that" at those words.
