155 Chapter 12: Brother?




 
 Morning arrives and the students get into the carriage and leave the city.
 The place they are going to head to is Tambar, the city of the Congress.
 The students were scheduled to tour the assembly there and other activities, but for Cain, it was supposed to be a place where compensation-related discussions would be held.
 Although he felt a little heavy hearted, he was able to minister to the talk of Telestia and the others who were getting excited in the carriage.
 On the way, they stayed in the inn town for a day, and on the evening of the second day, they arrived in the city of Tambar.

'So this is Tambar. ......

 A large building stands in the center of the city. The parliamentary assembly hall, which is a symbol of this country, was visible from the entrance.
 The tour is scheduled to begin tomorrow, and when you arrive at the inn, you will be assigned a room and each of you will relax.
 After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms, but Cain had some things to do.
 He was told by Fault to show up at the guild when he arrived in town.

 Cain told the teacher a little about the situation and left the inn and headed to the guild.
 He made sure to remind the teacher that Telestia and the others would never get the message. If they found out, they would be .......
 Cain shuddered involuntarily as he walked.
 The Adventurer's Guild was located close to the center of the city and was easily recognizable. Cain opened the door and stepped inside.
 It was already getting dim outside, and he had already finished reporting his request, and laughter was echoing from the tavern attached next door.
 A small number of adventurers were also consulting the bulletin board where the requests were posted, looking for the next day's requests.
 Cain's entry drew a fleeting glance, but the interest in the uniformed child quickly disappeared and the gaze quickly dissipated.
 Cain goes straight to the empty counter and calls out to the receptionist.

'Um, ....... Folt-san asked me to show up at the guild, but I'm here .......
'Mr. Folt: ......? Are you Mr. Folt, Guildmaster of the Gazar?
Yes, sir.
May I ask your name? I'm going to go check it out.
This is Cain.
Master Cain, I see. I'll go check it out now. Please wait a moment.

 The receptionist walked in and started talking to her boss, who was sitting in the back.
 When the boss heard Cain's name, he stood up vigorously and walked out to the counter.

'Sorry for the delay! Silpho ...... You are Mr. Cain. I received a letter from Folt on a quick horse and I have heard about its contents. I will call the guild master and show him to your private room. Here, I'll take you to the private room.

 The receptionist tilted her head at her boss's blunt response, but led Cain to a private reception room.

''Then please wait here. I'll be right over.

 After preparing the tea, the receptionist bowed and left.
 Soon after, there was a knock on the door and two men entered. One was a man of the human race and the other was an elven man.
 They sat down in front of Cain with a smile on their faces.
 Cain's eyes widened when he saw their faces.

'Your face looks surprised, Sir Silford. No, I should say my brother-in-law (nii). I'm the guild master here, Radin. Next to me is the sub-guildmaster, Gossack.
'This is Gossack. Sir Silford, nice to meet you.

 The young man who called himself the Guildmaster with a smile on his face was no different in appearance from Edin.
 No wonder Cain was surprised.
 There was something more important than that.

(You just called me brother-in-law (Nii), didn't you ......?)

You might want to go to ......
Yeah, just as you can imagine. This is my sister Tijuana's brother. Just downstairs.

 Cain was surprised by the unexpected, but Radin didn't seem bothered by it and began to talk.

'I have received a letter from Folt. Senator Malph has gotten his hands on the most important thing that shouldn't have been done, too.
'Really ....... This is going to be a rough ride for Congress for sure. I'm sure the amount of compensation will be tremendous: ......

 The two men explained that the verdict would be handed down in Congress like a trial in a previous life. They would hear an explanation on the spot, but this time everyone, including those involved in the case, had heard the verdict and there was no excuse for it.
 The explanation was already given to the council in advance and the schedule had already been adjusted.
 And that schedule - it was time for Cain and the other students of the Esfort Kingdom to observe.
 The content of the training is to actually hear the trial in public.

'...... no way ......'
'Yes, there will be a field trip for the students of the Kingdom of Esfort that day. I think they're fitting in with that schedule. I guess they think they won't be able to say too strongly about it before the other students are there. Maybe that's what Senator Maloof is trying to get at, and that's what he's trying to get at with the time.

 Cain, who originally didn't want to make too big a deal out of it, wanted to go to the assembly alone and settle the matter early.
 Although he explained to the teachers, if word spread, such as there was an attack in another country, it would lead to damage to the image of the Istin Republic. He thought it was to avoid that, but Maruf had a different idea.
 Radin's idea was that he would come up with something that would cause sympathy, and that would reduce the fine, if only a little.

'In fact, how much of a fine is that? I don't know about the system in this country, so I'm not sure: ......

 At Cain's question, Radin thinks for a moment and opens his mouth.

'Fifty pieces, I suppose, something like that.
'Fifty gold coins ....... That's quite a lot of money.

 Fifty gold coins are worth fifty million yen. That's a considerable amount of money. As for the settlement money for a car accident, perhaps it might be even higher, but fortunately Cain was not injured.
 However, Radin shook his head.

''No, it's fifty white gold coins. Not all of them will go to Lord Silford. ......
'What? So much ......

 A fine of 500 million yen.
 That's a significant amount of money. Cain's assets are also invested in the city and have more than that, but it's still a percentage of the amount.

''Maybe ten white gold coins as a fine to the council, twenty to Lord Silford, and twenty to the Kingdom of Esfort, including an apology.
Fines are that high: ......
No, I think this one is special. He attacked an earl, a senior nobleman from another country. Even if his son was the cause of the attack, that's no reason for mercy. And moreover, he's a member of this country. I'm sure most of his assets will be confiscated.

 They continued to discuss what might happen in the Assembly.

'Mr Laden, Mr Gossack. Thank you.
It's okay. You're the one who's going to be the brother-in-law. Fault should be here tomorrow. He's going to be in court that day.
Okay. See you on the day.

 Cain shook hands with them and left the guild and returned to the inn.

'What will Her Majesty say to me again: ......

 Thinking about this, Cain went to sleep.
