“Yo. Visitors at this time of day? You’re dressed pretty strangely, too. I don’t remember inviting you either.”
Cain greeted them with an evil grin.
At that moment, the fifty pairs of eyes belonging to the armed group that had gathered in the hall looked up at Cain.
““““““…””””””
The two groups stared at each other silently.
Their target, who was supposed to be asleep, had come out to meet them, armed.
And as all eyes turned to Cain alone, unexpected creatures appeared beside him.
Of course, they were Haku and Gin. Because the hall was in a stairwell, Gin had become a little larger. Still, he was still only about two meters tall.
On either side of the child who was supposed to be their target, there were now a white wolf and a silver dragon.
“Eh?”
“What is that!?”
“Dragon!? I haven’t heard of this!!”
“What’s with that wolf’s hugeness!?”
They were all surprised at the sight. No one had heard anything about this.
“Haku! Gin! Try not to kill them! Go!”
“Woof” “Kyui”
As soon as they heard those words, the white wolf and the silver dragon jumped down from the stairs toward the group, screeching with joy, and lunged at them. Haku’s charge sent the attackers in front of him flying through the air, bouncing off the ground.
Ginn flew around the hall, pouncing on the attackers one by one with his claws and tail.
The master of the Dark Guild’s forces carrying out the operation, Rick could only look on, stunned.
“Wh-wh-what is this… impossible…”
It was simply supposed to be a job of assassinating the lone lord of the town, but now on the contrary, now a white wolf and silver dragon were attacking back.
He hadn’t heard anything about such a large wolf, not to mention that silver dragon, which, small though it may be, was a disaster incarnate no matter how you looked at it.
“You guys, run away!”
Rick shouted unintentionally. He had no choice but to say so.
It was at that moment.
He suddenly heard a voice from behind him.
“I have no intention of letting you people run away.”
Rick unintentionally turned around.
Behind him was Cain, who had only just been watching the devastation from the top of the stairs.
“Wh-wha…”
In that moment, Rick’s consciousness was reaped by Cain.
The reason why Cain had been watching from the second floor until the end was to identify the leader of the assailants.
The nearly fifty attackers in the hall had already been defeated by Haku and Gin, none of whom were still conscious. The only sounds in the hall were the groans of the attackers.
After confirming that none of them were able to stand up, Cain turned his attention to the red markings in his vision.
“And then, the rest of them are outside. Haku, Gin, wait here a minute please. Watch over this collapsed bunch.”
Giving instructions to Haku and Gin, Cain opened the front door and stepped outside.
Then he walked toward the main gate.
He called out to the two guards who were standing there sleepily.
“Sorry to bother you so late, but there was an attack at the back door. I’ve already beaten them off. Could you go to the guard station and get as many of the guards as you can?”
The guards were surprised by the sudden appearance of the lord, Cain. After listening to his story, one of them ran off into the lord’s residence, while the other ran to the guard station.
Of course, Cain explained to the guard who went to the lord’s residence that his summoned beasts were there.
They would be surprised if a white wolf and a silver dragon suddenly appeared in front of them.
Cain stood at the main gate, which had become unmanned, and spoke to the red symbols gathered and hiding.
“I know you’re hiding there. Do you want me to force you out? Or will you come out by yourselves?”
There was silence for a few moments, and then out of the shadows came a group of people he hadn’t expected to see.
Several people who seemed like comrades of the assailants from earlier came out, and behind them, priest Stagg, the sub guild master Betty, and finally – – Eribe.
“So all of you were colluding, huh… If it weren’t for the direct inspection, I wouldn’t have known.”
Cain looked at the faces gathered there, and heaved a huge sigh.
“Shut up! If you hadn’t come to this town, everything would have stayed as it was!”
Stagg shouted violently.
“To think you were this strong. However, all of the people here are A-Rank.”
Betty came to the front while saying so.
The group of five assailants other than Eribe and co. seemed like active adventurers.
The five people spread out around Cain, surrounding him.
“Don’t think too bad of us. This is also a request. We can get good money from this.”
The man who seemed to be the leader of adventurers told him.
And, the very last, Eribe appeared.
“We grew up in this town. We can’t just let some brat of a lord come and do as he pleases afterwards can we? Also, put down your weapons.”
Cain tilted his head at Eribe’s words.
Eribe said something over his shoulder, and, soon enough, a man appeared, dragging something along in his right hand.
The moment he saw it, Cain’s eyes widened.
Being dragged along was – – a little girl with cat ears.
Indeed, it was Enaku.
She was unconscious, blood dripping from her face.
“I prepared it just in case, and I’m glad I did.”
Eribe turned towards Cain, laughing.
Cain silently threw his sword away.
All of them were relieved to see it. Even the adventurers surrounding him.
And in that moment, Cain disappeared.
“““““Eh”””””
Poooooooooooow!!
Simultaneously with the sound, the head of the man holding Enaku disappeared.
The rest of the assailant’s body fell forwards onto the ground.
“““““Huh!?”””””
Everyone was stunned. The person who was supposed to be right in front of them had suddenly disappeared.
And the hostage who was supposed to be behind them vanished, the man holding her dying in an instant.
Cain returned to his original position with Enaku in his arms.
He stared at Enaku’s swollen and bleeding face.
“Sorry, Enaku, for having let this happened to you.”
[Extra Heal]
As soon as Cain cast his spell, Enaku was enveloped in a divine light.
“N-n-no way… high grade recovery magic…”
Stagg was surprised when he saw the high grade recovery magic that Cain had cast.
Even in the church, only bishops and above could cast advanced recovery magic. A bishop was sent to each country by the Church of Marineford to oversee the church headquarters in the capital city of each country. There was only one bishop in the kingdom of Esfort. And yet a child used such an advanced recovery magic. How could he not be surprised?
After confirming that Enaku had recovered, Cain took a blanket out of his Item Box, laid it on the ground, and then gently put Enaku down on it. He patted her head and then stood up.
“Haku, Gin, come.”
At that moment, the door was vigorously opened from inside the mansion, and the white wolf and silver dragon jumped out.
“Could you protect this child?”
Haku and Gin must have understood Cain’s words, because after a brief howl, they surrounded Enaku, protecting her.
“A wh-white wolf and a dragon…”
The assailants present, unaware of the devastation inside, were surprised to see Haku and Gin.
Then, Cain, standing there, let loose his killing intent in every direction. It was completely different from the killing intent he’d released in the guild, this time it was true killing intent. Feeling Cain’s killing intent from so close up, the adventurers who had been surrounding him fainted, foaming at the mouth.
Eribe’s group of three, who were a little further away, wetted the ground like a flood and fell on their bottoms, trembling.
“You lot… what happened to Enaku’s parents…”
With a cold stare, Cain approached the three of them one step at a time.
“I d-d-don’t k-know…”
Said Eribe.
Cain swung his hand, staying silently.
In that instant, Eribe’s right arm was blown off.
Eribe’s arm was rapidly distancing itself from his body, spinning through the air.
“Eh!?”
“I’ll ask again. What happened to her parents…”
“I re-really d-don’t kn-…”
Before he’d even finished saying it, both his legs below his knees had been cut off.
Realizing his situation, Eribe started screaming.
“My armmmmmmm, my legssssssssss aaaghhhhhhhhhh!!”
Cain looked away from the screaming Eribe, sending his gaze towards Betty and Stagg.
At that moment, their faces froze.
“W-we really don’t know… Eribe did it. I-it wasn’t me, I-I’ve g-got nothing t-to do w-with this.”
As she’d finished talking, both of Betty’s legs were sent flying.
And then everything below Stagg’s knees too disappeared in the same manner.
Cain turned his back on the three who were screaming in pain.
“I’ll go see for myself. You lot stay here. Haku, Gin, watch them.”
Cain said coldly and disappeared on the spot.
And Cain, having transferred, was now standing in front of the Cat’s Harmony Pavilion.
The door had been broken down, and there was no light inside the inn except for moonlight.
Cain walked straight into the inn.
Inside the store, the tables had been destroyed and the chairs were scattered everywhere.
The interior was broken, indicating that there had been a battle here.
“Dash-san! Himika-san!! Where are you!?”
Cain walked into the back of the restaurant, looking for the two.
At the far end of the kitchen, he found the two of them lying on the floor.
Both of them were lying on the floor, with Dash covering Himika as if to protect her.
Dash’s back was cut, his clothes were torn, and his arms and legs were bent in strange directions.
And around them, there was a sea of blood.
Seeing this, Cain was stunned.
