After spending the night at the lord's house and having breakfast, we were to head for the capital.
　As Randal was to accompany him, he borrowed a carriage from the lord, and it was being loaded.

"Thank you, Lord Randal, for lending me your carriage.

　Initially, he had planned to charter a carriage in the city to King's Landing.
　There is also a self-propelled bus in Cain's item box, but he refrains from using it in this kingdom because it would cause a commotion.

"It's a good thing I have a strong friend like Cain to accompany me. Besides, ......"

　Randal clenches his fists tightly.
　Randall really wanted to go to the front and fight with his friends, but he was not allowed to leave the city to protect the city that his parents ruled.
　However, Randal had no choice but to endure, even though he only received information that he was losing the battle.
　But now that Gandalf had confirmed Cain's strength and allowed him to accompany him, Randal's spirits were already on the rise.

"If I could, I'd like to go to the front and fight a battle, even if it's just once. ......
"I see. ......

　Cain was a belligerent beastman who had been defending the inner city, albeit on a mission, rather than where the war was being fought, but thanks to Cain, he could go to the front.

But thanks to Cain, I can go to the front line. "Oh, Cain-sama, you're a recovery agent, so you can't go to the front line, okay?"

　A companion from the Kingdom of Esfort called out to me from behind.
　It was true that Cain had been strictly ordered not to go to the front with the king when he left the kingdom.
　The war situation would change drastically if Cain were to come out alone.
　No, the upper echelons of the kingdom understand that with just one Cain, they can survive the invasion from the empire.
　But the Beast Kingdom doesn't have that kind of understanding. Once they see what Cain is capable of, they don't know when they will be considered dangerous, no matter how friendly they are.

"It's ............, isn't it?"

　Cain let out a sigh of resignation.

"I'm not sure what to make of it, but it's a good idea. This is a war between the Beast Kingdom and the Empire. You can watch me from behind."
"Yes, I'll be waiting in the back as a healer, so please don't come if you can help it.
"I don't need your help. I'm not going to take care of you. I'm going to send all the Imperials away!

　It's hard to lose someone you actually know. No matter how strong Randal, whom you just met, is, you never know when you might lose your life on the battlefield.
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to have to.

　I'm not sure what to say.

　It was a two-day journey to the capital of the Kermesse Beast Kingdom. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the web site, please do not hesitate to contact us.
　The streets of the capital were basically made of wood, but only the stone walls surrounding the capital and the castle in the center were made of stone.
　The Kermesse Beast Kingdom was founded by cutting through the forest, so the abundance of wood must have been used.
　Even though it was wartime, Cain felt that the city was bustling with people and stores were open.
　As expected of a beast kingdom, most of the inhabitants were beasts.
　There were dog people, cat people, rabbit people, and many other races walking around. There were also a few human tribes walking around the city.



"What do you think?　Even in wartime, it's a lively place. I think we'll stay at the royal castle today. You should have an audience soon.
"Yes, sir. The people's faces are cheerful, and I feel a little relieved.

　The carriage drove slowly through the city and reached the castle without being stopped.
　Randal, Hagness, and I were immediately escorted by a squire to a luxurious reception room.

"I will show you when your audience is ready, so please wait in this room until then.
"Yes, sir.

　The room he was shown was finely decorated and not as rugged as the port city where Gandalf ruled.
　As Cain gazed into the room, Hagness smiled at him.

Hagness smiled as Cain looked at the architecture of the room, "Some of the beastmen are very good with their hands, so they tend to have occupations that suit them. The decorations in this room are probably foxmen. They are very good with their hands and have good taste.
"I was surprised that the room was more luxurious than I expected. There aren't many people in the Esfort Kingdom who can do something like this.
"Yes, that's why. I'm using my dexterity to trade with other countries. Fortunately, there are gold mines in the Beast Kingdom, and precious metals are abundant.
"This kind of decoration won't help us win the war.

　Hagness and Cain chuckled at Randal's comment, who had no interest in decorations at all.
　The rabbit maid who was waiting in the room brewed a cup of tea, which they drank slowly.

"This tea is also delicious. This may be the first time you've tasted it.
"Yes, we have a tea plantation. Yes, we have a tea plantation. I'll have it ready for you when you return.
"Thank you. I'm sure everyone in the house will be pleased.

　While the three of us were chatting, there was a knock at the door and a squire entered.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. We are ready for an audience and will show you around.

　With these words, Cain and the others left their seats, bracing themselves.
