The moment Cain cast the magic, the sleeping mother was shrouded in white light. When the light subsided, the mother, who now had a better complexion than before, was sleeping there. Then, gradually, her eyes opened.
“Nnn. What? I somehow feel better today. Ara, Dash, Enaku, good morning?”
The mother started getting up from the bed, but the father stopped her.
“Just now, I had this adventurer-san cast healing magic on you. You’re still sick, so take it easy and stay in bed.”
“Ah, I haven’t told you my name yet, have I. I’m Cain. I’m an adventurer who just came to this town today.”
“Cain-sama is it? My name is Dash and I am the owner of Cat’s Harmony Pavilion here. They’re my wife, Himika, and my daughter, Enaku. Cain-sama, we are ever so grateful.”
“Thank you, Onii-chan!!”
Enaku turned to him with a huge smile on her face. Cain couldn’t help but reach out and pet her head.
Enaku didn’t seem to mind, and closed her eyes, seemingly enjoying it.
Cain’s spirits were lifted by the fact that, for the first time ever, he could enjoy cat ears.
“If it’s just this much, it’s no problem. But still, to think that this town’s church charges that much…”
“Yes, I had them cast [Heal] twice, but it didn’t help heal her at all. As expected, only a [High Heal] for a gold coin would have worked… Ah, how much does the [High Heal] you cast earlier cost… I can’t pay a whole gold coin, but I’ll pay you as much as I can.”
“Don’t worry about it. I had a delicious meal and was able to see Enaku’s smile.”
While saying so, he continued to stroke Enaku’s head.
“Purrrrrrrrr…”
Enaku climbed onto Cain’s lap and closed her eyes, purring.
“Hey hey, Enaku, you’re inconveniencing Cain-sama…”
Dash tried to stop her, but Cain intercepted him.
“It’s fine. I’m also a youngest child, so I only have older siblings, so her doing this kind of makes me feel like an older brother.”
Cain smiled at Enaku.
“Ah, right, have you decided on where you’re going to stay today? If you haven’t decided yet, do stay here. You cast healing magic on my wife, so at least let me do that much.”
Dash asked Cain while bowing his head.
“I haven’t decided yet, so I’ll be in your care today.”
“Yaay! Cain-onii-chan will stay here today!?”
Sitting on Cain’s lap, Enaku looked up at his face happily.
“Well then, I’ll make today’s dinner with enthusiasm!”
Dash was also pleased to see Himika doing better.
“There’s still some time left, so I think I’ll stroll around the town. I’ll be back by dinner.”
Cain left the store after saying so.
“There seem to be quite a lot of problems in this town…”
Cain muttered while looking up at the sky.
During the day he walked around the shops. Then, once in an alleyway, he flew upwards using [Fly]. While maintaining a constant height, he looked around at the town from the sky. In this world, people rarely looked up at the sky, so no one noticed him flying there. Circling around the outer wall, he inspected it. From the outset, due to the outer wall surrounding the town, it seemed like it was impossible to increase the number of residents any more.
“With the current size of the town, it’s impossible to increase the amount of residents… We might have to rebuild the outer wall…”
Cain landed in the back alley and returned to the inn, imagining the new town layout.
“Welcome! Ah, Cain-onii-chan welcome back! Dad, onii-chan is back~”
As Cain opened the door, Enaku welcomed him with a smile.
“I’m back. It’s still a bit too early for dinner, so I’ll go change in my room.”
“Today, I prepared a special room for you! It’s room 301. I’ll go call you when dinner’s ready!”
Saying so, Enaku gave Cain the key. In this inn, the reception and the dining hall were on the first floor, with the rooms on the second and third floors. After he climbed the stairs up to the third floor, he spotted his room at the opposite end of the hall. Having unlocked it and entered inside, it turned out the room was larger than he had imagined. There were two double beds, a sofa and other such things in the room, so luxurious that he thought it would be impossible for common folk to stay there.
He took off his leather armour and protective gear, cast [Disinfect(C l e a n] on it, and changed into everyday clothes.
He was lying down on the sofa, thinking about what to do from now on, when a knock sounded.
“Cain-onii-chan! Dinner’s ready.”
Enaku had come to tell him that the meal was ready.
“Yeah, I’m going.”
Cain got up from the sofa and opened the door.
“…”
Enaku was staring at Cain, her cheeks a little red.
“What happened, Enaku-chan?”
Cain tilted his head and looked at Enaku, but her face just became more and more red.
“Onii-chan kinda looks like a noble. That’s so cool??”
With those few words, she went back downstairs.
“Ah, because of the clothes. This is what nobles’ plain clothes are like, so I didn’t worry about it.”
Cain was wearing the plain clothes of a noble. It was very different from what the average citizen would wear, from the looks of it, it was made of high quality fabric and tailor-made.
All his other clothes were similar, so he headed downstairs to the dining hall in his current clothes.
In the dining hall, Cain’s clothes surprised Dash as well. Himika, who had been sleeping earlier, was also there.
When Himika noticed Cain, she stood up and bowed.
“Cain-sama, thank you very much for casting healing magic on me. I already feel way better. Because me being asleep gave Dash and Enaku a hard time, I’ll do my best from now on. Dash put a great amount of effort into making today’s meal, so we hope you’ll like it.”
After having thanked him, Himika entered the kitchen again to help out.
The same as ever, a nice smell was coming from the kitchen.
“Mmm. It smells delicious.”
Looking around, Cain could see what seemed to be a party of four adventurers, and craftsmen who had returned from work.
The group of what appeared to be adventurers were also drinking, taking in the smell from the kitchen.
“But still, that was an amazing situation today. We went to the guild, and the training ground had been wrecked, right?”
“It was terrible. I heard they were trying to bully a newbie as usual and that’s what happened…”
“The sub guild master was also carried out on a stretcher, really, just what the hell happened there…”
“The adventurers carried out from there were all C-Rank, the guild’s gonna have a hard time again.”
Listening to the conversation he didn’t really want to hear, Cain sipped the fruit juice he’d been served earlier.
“Cain-onii-chan, sorry for the wait!”
Enaku brought him the plate with the meal on it.
“Today, it’s an orc stew! It’s been boiled for a long time, so it’s delicious!”
“Thank you, Enaku-chan.”
He accepted the plate and looked at its contents. It was a simmering white stew, made out of orc. It came with two pieces of bread and a salad.
“It looks delicious, thank you for the food.”
Cain put his hands together, then scooped up the stew with a spoon and carried it to his mouth. The gentle taste of the meat spread in his mouth.
“Yeah! It’s very delicious.”
Cain smiled at Enaku, who was waiting next to him.
“Dad will be happy! Eat a lot.”
Having said that, she went back to taking the other customers’ orders.
After having finished his meal, Cain returned to his room and relaxed.
◇◇◇
A certain place in Drintor.
The room contained a single table and four chairs.
Only the light of a lamp placed in the center of the table illuminated the inside of the room.
In that dim room, there were now four men and women surrounding a round table.
“To think a lord would be dispatched again…”
“They’ll run back home soon enough, like they always have up until now. Apparently this time, they’re a child.”
“I don’t really agree. Today was dreadful.”
The three people sat there, talking. Then, the man who had been listening to them in silence cut in.
“Hey, wait a minute everyone, this time the lord’s an adventurer, so if there are any problems, we can just turn him into monster feed while he’s completing requests in the forest…”
The man sitting at the head of the table began talking.
The other three nodded.
“Then, so you can move anytime, Rick, I’ll leave the slums to you. Betty, you can go too, if it’s an emergency…”
“Okay, leave it to me. I’ll make sure the Dark Guild can move anytime.”
Rick, wearing a black hood, nodded at the question of the man in the center.
“Everything’s in a bit of a mess right now, but I think it’ll all calm down in a little while.”
Betty nodded, remembering what happened today.
“It’s best to rule this town with these four people, as always up until now.”
The man sitting at the head of the table muttered those words.
