Volume 2 Chapter 29: Drintor’s Rampaging Lord 2/2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Seen from the surroundings, Cain just looked like a small child of an adventurer whose eyes showed a bit of anger.
Cain was pretty angry that Enaku had been kicked.
Because it was still only the evening, there was a lot of foot traffic around the store.
People had suddenly been thrown out of an inn, and a child had walked out after them.
A crowd of onlookers was immediately surrounded the adventurers and Cain.
Having heard about the commotion from Enaku, Dash and Himika came out of the store too.
“You brat! I won’t go easy on you any more!”
The adventurer pulled out his sword, and the other three followed his example.
“Cain-sama, it’s dangerous!!”
Dash shouted.
And then, the adventurer slashed at Cain from above.
Cain moved a half step, ducked beneath the sword, and then landed a blow on the adventurer’s stomach.
“Guho.”
After having been hit in the stomach, the adventurer flew a couple of meters away, foam coming from his mouth, and then fainted.
Momentarily stunned by the scene, the adventurer’s companions steeled themselves and turned their gaze to Cain.
“Now that brat really has gone and done it.”
Then, the three swung their swords at him at the same time. To Cain, it was as if the swords were moving in slow-motion.
He avoided the swords in an instant and consecutively hit the adventurers.
In less than three seconds, the three of them had sunk to the ground.
While looking down at the four fainted adventurers, Cain muttered only a couple of words.
“You can’t just go around being violent with people!”
““““““…””””””
Everyone in the surroundings wanted to retort with a ‘You’re one to say that’, but no-one did so.
Even though everything had happened in just an instant, everyone came to understand that the silver-haired boy was strong.
No one retorted to Cain, but that large of a crowd would attract attention.
“What’s this commotion!!!!”
Yelling and making their way through the crowd were a number of guards, who observed the four adventurers lying on the ground with their swords drawn and Cain standing beside them.
“Just what happened?”
A man who looked like the captain of the guards, wearing a bit of fancy armour, asked Cain.
“A drunken adventurer kicked a girl in this shop, sir, so I had them graciously leave the premises. And because they drew their swords on me and attacked me, it turned out like this.”
Cain answered concisely while pointing at the four of them.
“Is that so. Anyway, for the time being, come to the station with us.”
Cain immediately answered the captain’s question.
“Don’t wanna. I still have some minotaur steak left. It’d be a waste…”
At that answer, the guard captain, the rest of the guards, Dash, Himika and the surrounding people were all left speechless.
“Wai-… Cain-sama…”
Dash was surprised that Cain had refused and disregarded the guard captain.
“You, what did you say! If you don’t come, we’ll force you to come along!”
The captain, who had frozen at Cain’s unexpected response, became angry.
“If you’re going to make someone come along, make it those four over there. They need to reflect on their actions while they were drunk, so please let them stay overnight in the station’s cell and do so. Well then, thank you for all your hard work.”
Cain thanked the captain and tried to return to the store.
The people around him were stunned by his response.
“Are you screwing around with me!! Just who do you think you are!!”
As Cain passed him by, the furious captain grabbed his shoulder to stop him.
Cain turned around and shook off the hand that grabbed his shoulder before asking a question in return.
“They’re the ones who did something bad. It shouldn’t be any problem if you only take them to the station. Also, if I were to say my name, that in itself would turn into a problem, so I don’t really want to say it.”
“What are you talking about!? You all! We’re taking this guy with us!”
At the captain’s words, the rest of the guards, who had been carrying the fallen adventurers, gathered around.
“It seems that you also need to reflect a little.”
Cain, surrounded by the captain of the guards and his three subordinates, sighed.
“Seeing as it’s you’re job, I guess I have no choice. I’m fine with saying my name, but can I say it quietly? I don’t want everyone here to hear it.”
The captain nodded at those words. Looking closer, the captain noticed that he was wearing very high quality clothing, even if it was plain clothes. It could be the case that he was the child of some noble from somewhere. If that were the case, this might turn out to be a problem. The guard captain and the other three guards gathered around Cain.
“…Cain. Viscount Cain von Silford Drintor. I’m the new lord here…”
Cain whispered so that only the four people could hear it. And then, he took the dagger that proved he was the head of a noble family from his pocket and showed it to the captain.
At that moment, the four guards froze.
At worst, they had thought he was a child of a noble or an unregistered relative of one, but no, he was the head of a noble family.
Not to mention, the lord of the town. Earlier, they had said things like ‘this guy’ or ‘screwing around’ to the lord of the town. The captain had even violently grabbed his shoulder. If it had just been the son of some aristocrat in front of him, the captain could still have salvaged the situation, but the one before him was the head of a viscount family and the lord of the town.
If he were to be too disrespectful, he could be beheaded without complaint thanks to lese-majesty.
The four people silently looked at each other and nodded.
““““We’re extremely sorry lord-sama.””””
The four guards prostrated themselves on the spot.
““““““““““““Lord!?””””””””””””
The people around Cain were also surprised by the words of the guards.
No one would have thought that this child in plain clothes was the new lord of this town.
And the fact that the lord was in front of them meant that commoners had to bow their heads.
The people around him kneeled all at once out of politeness.
Cain was surrounded by dozens of commoners who had taken the knee.
“…”
So everyone else wouldn’t hear, he’d whispered his name to the guards, but he wasn’t expecting them to take that attitude. Cain looked up at the sky. And then he muttered.
“That’s why I didn’t want to say it…”
When Cain dropped his shoulders, Enaku walked closer to him.
Enaku had not yet learned the proper etiquette for dealing with nobles.
“Cain-onii-chan, you’re the lord?”
Enaku looked up at Cain, her eyes shining.
“…Yeah, that’s the case.”
Cain thought that now that he’d blown his cover as lord, he wouldn’t be able to be so laid-back any more.
“Cain-onii-chan is a strong and kind lord. I’m glad!”
Enaku was happy that he was the lord.
Hearing that, Dash and Himika froze.
“Cain-sama is the lord… Cain-sama is the lord…”
Upset, Dash just kept on repeating it.
The residents around him were still kneeling, so Cain addressed everyone.
“Everyone, sorry for the suddenness. I’m the newly inaugurated lord of this town, Cain von Silford Drintor. I didn’t mean to cause such a commotion on the streets, sorry for causing all this trouble. All right, everybody, stand up, please. –You guys too, I won’t mind if you stand up. I’m not going to punish you for disrespect.”
Cain said to the guards who were prostrating themselves.
Hearing those words, the relieved guards raised their heads.
“It’s just, these people got drunk and were violent against this kid. Could you let them reflect in the prison at the station overnight?”
Cain asked the guards while stroking Enaku’s head.
“Understood. Everyone, it’s the lord’s words, so please return to normal already. Oy, let’s take these guys to the station.”
With a few words from the captain of the guards, the residents who happened to be there, who were also surprised and bewildered by the appearance of the new lord, who seemed to be nothing more than a child, all started on their way home.
Adventurers, who had come out of the store, also returned back inside.
The guards thanked Cain and carried four fainted people away.
And then only Cain, Dash, Himika and Enaku remained there.
“Ah, the minotaur steak is getting cold!”
Cain remembered that he had been in the middle of a meal. He still wanted to finish that delicious steak he’d left there half-eaten.
He rushed back to the store. Enaku chased after Cain, saying ‘Wait’.
Dash and Himika looked at each other and nodded.
“This lord seems like a nice person.”
“You’re right, dear.”
The two returned to the store, smiling.
