170 Episode 27: Return to Drintre




 
 Landing unnoticed by the carriage, Cain approaches the carriage at a gallop.
 You can run at a speed that won't be noticed if you put your mind to it, but that's not going to happen and you're going to run up to the carriage at a slightly faster pace than the carriage.
 The adventurers who were guarding the rear of the carriage were alerted to those who were running, and they readied their swords and signaled forward.

''Wait. ''It's Cain!''

 Cain spread his arms wide and approached with a wave of his hand.
 The adventurers immediately recognized Cain's face in his uniform and his unforgettable feats.
 The guards hurriedly instructed the carriage to stop.

''Huh, I'm glad you noticed.

 As Cain was reassured, teachers and students got out of the stopped carriage one by one.
 The teachers also looked at Cain's face and loosened their cheeks as if they were relieved, and the students did the same.
 However, Telestia and Silk ran to Cain - and hugged him as it was.

''Master Cain, we were worried! We soon left in a carriage and ......
Yes! We were all so worried about you.
I'm sorry. But it's all taken care of now. I think it's safe to say the Order has taken care of it.

 Indeed, there was no problem because the attackers had already been taken to the royal capital and handed over to the knights.
 The nobles of the Corzino faction in the royal capital are also already on their way to capture by the Konoe Knights under the king's direction.
 Hoping that nothing will happen, Cain greets everyone.

''Everyone, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble. There's the matter of Viscount Bard, and since we can't stop by the city of Terenza, if you'd like, you can relieve your fatigue in Drintle if you'd like. ...... Of course, with the teachers' permission, of course, but .......

 The students rejoiced at Cain's words.
 There were a number of students who were mentally exhausted due to the attack. Nearly all of the students were the sons of nobles, some of whom had never seen combat before.
 It was also true that the teachers were concerned about the stress and were looking for somewhere safe and restful in the city.
 However, there is no place where this number of people can suddenly visit the city and accommodate a princess or noblewoman.
 The important thing is that Terenza is the city ruled by the Bardo Viscount who carried out the attack, so it was impossible to head there.
 The teachers gladly gave their permission.

 The teachers told the students to return to the carriage, and Cain greeted the Kingsguard and Claude and the others who were escorting him at the front.

''Claude, please wait. Thank you for the escort. We've managed it for now.''
'Well, I knew Cain wouldn't have a problem with anything. For now, I guess we should just head to the city of Drintle.
'Claude, you're forgetting again. How many times do I have to tell you that Cain is the Countess now, so watch your language: ......
Lina-san, it's okay. I've been assigned to escort you around, just in case.

 Lina sighed heavily at Cain's words, and her small talk to Claude ended.

'Thank you for escorting me, Milly-sensei and Nina-sensei too,'
'It's okay, we were saved during the raid. If it wasn't for Cain, it would have been quicksand. ......

 Millie chuckled and Nina nodded silently.
 After that, she also told the Konoe Guard where they were going, and after thanking them, Cain returned to the carriage.
 The Konoe Knights reaffirmed Cain's abilities and responded crisply, looking nervous.

 Then Cain sighed and opened the carriage door.
 Of course, the people riding in it were Telestia, Silk and Riltana.

'Hey everyone,'

 Cain took a seat and the carriage started to move slowly.
 The three of them had serious expressions on their faces.
 Then Telestia opened her mouth.

''Master Cain, can you tell us what you've been doing?''

 He was a little worried about how far to answer Telestia's question, so he scratched and explained.
 This time, former Senator Malph and the Marquis of Corzino had joined forces behind the scenes to carry out the raid.
 The Marquis of Corzino's party, Viscount Bardo, joined forces with them and the attack took place, but they were all captured and are being transported to the capital.

(Don't tell me you've already transported them to King's Landing: ......)

 Telestia and Silk wrinkle their brows at Cain's explanation.
 An attack on the royal family is a death sentence. There are even duchesses and princesses of other countries.
 This is not something that can be overturned.

''This must be communicated to your father, and he must be dealt with appropriately.
...... Yeah, right.

 Cain doesn't say that they've already gotten the message.

 And even though he was met with a flurry of questions, he arrived at Drintru.

 Going to Drintle has already been communicated to Dalmatia with transfer magic at the time of the encampment.
 Without being stopped at the entrance, the carriage proceeded to the lord's mansion.
 The entire squire was already waiting in line in front of the mansion.
 The teacher gets out of the carriage and the students look up at the mansion (castle).

''As usual, this castle is amazing. ......
''Really ....... It's no different than King's Castle. ......

 Cain chuckles at the students' words.

(Please don't call me "castle.")

 Such thoughts of Cain did not go through, and the students were led into the mansion by the squire as they talked about the castle.
 Telestia and the others were led to their rooms just as they were going, and after bathing and changing clothes, they were enjoying the tea that Dalmatia had brewed in the reception room.

''Phew, you're finally settled in.
'Yeah, right. I really wondered what would happen this time.
But I'm safe.

 Telestia, Silk and Riltana were leisurely discussing the events of this time.
 Cain was also invited, but he left his seat once he had a meeting with the deputy, Alec.
 Even though it's a training program for the academy, there are various ties to the noble head of the noble family, and he can't be blamed for performing his role as a nobleman.
 Basically, he was the son of a nobleman, and it was unusual for the head of the family to be a student, but it was fortunate that it was not without precedent.
 Cain quickly finished the meeting and knocked on the reception room where Telestia and the others were, and entered.

''Everyone's waiting,''

 Cain takes an empty seat and Dalmatia gently places the tea in front of him.

'It's been decided that you'll have to relax in this city for a couple of days.

 Cain's words made the girls' cheeks relax.
 Then Cain continued.

'If it's all right with you, tomorrow I'll show you the streets of Drintle--'

 At that moment, the door was suddenly opened.

'I heard that Cain is back ....... Oh, there you are!

 The one that came through the door was ---- lizabeth.
