“I’ll go see for myself. You lot stay here.”
Cain said coldly and disappeared on the spot.
After Cain disappeared, the three of them were left with their legs blown off and no way to escape.
“Stagg! Recovery magic…”
Eribe crawled over and shouted to Stagg, who also had both his legs blown off.
As if remembering just now, Stagg cast a recovery spell.
[He-he-he-heal]
Stagg treated his own foot first. However, the [Heal] only stopped the bleeding. [Extra Heal] was needed in case of missing limbs. Moreover, Stagg had been drinking every day without praying to the gods.
Stagg’s blessings from Lime had also been revoked, so now all he could use was [Heal].
Eribe and Betty both crawled over to Stagg, leaving trails of blood on the ground.
Stagg, in turn, cast [Heal] on them.
All three of them were able to stop the bleeding due to recovery magic, but their legs were already gone. As for Eribe, his right arm was also gone.
Moreover, in their field of view, a white wolf and a silver dragon were glaring at them while protecting Enaku.
“To think he was such a monster…”
“He went that far…”
Ellaive and Betty muttered, and Stagg concurred.
All three of them felt regret, but it was already too late.
◇◇◇
Cain approached Dash and Himika, who were lying in a sea of blood.
“That lot, they went and did this…”
Cain laid them down on their backs.
They must have lost too much blood. Their faces were deathly pale and they were unconscious, but still faintly breathing.
However, the glow of life in them seemed to be nearly gone.
Cain immediately cast recovery magic.
[Extra Heal] [Extra Heal]
They were enveloped in light, and after the light faded away, they were lying on the ground, their injuries gone.
They seemed to have healed completely and their breathing had calmed down.
Cain breathed out a sigh of relief, knowing that the two of them were safe.
“Thank goodness…”
He sat down next to them and kept an eye on their conditions.
After shedding so much blood, they were in no condition to regain consciousness, so he touched them and transferred them in an instant.
They were transferred to a guest room in the lord’s residence.
Cain laid the two unconscious people down on the bed, covered them with a quilt, and then immediately transferred again.
At his destination, even though the three had managed to close their wounds with recovery magic, they couldn’t run away because they didn’t have any legs, so they just lied there, trembling.
It was only natural, as a wolf and dragon were glaring at them while they were unable to escape.
Startled and scared at Cain’s sudden appearance, the three of them tried to back away.
“You lot… do you understand what you did… Enaku was completely unrelated to this…”
Cain approached Enaku, giving the three of them a cold stare that was hard to believe was coming from a ten-year-old.
Enaku had not yet regained consciousness, but was breathing steadily.
He stroked Haku and Gin, who were waiting patiently by Enaku’s side.
“Haku, Gin. Thank you for watching them.”
When he told this to Haku and Gin, both gave him a smile that only Cain could understand.
After sending Haku and Gin back, he sat down next to the sleeping Enaku and waited for the guards.
From a distance, the sound of a group of people running could be heard.
It became louder and louder, until fifty or so guards rushed towards them.
Behind them, wagons for carrying the assailants were also following.
“There are assailants at the lord’s house. Prepare yourselves!”
Running at the front was the captain of the guards, who noticed Cain sitting on the ground.
It was the captain of the guard who had previously gotten down on his knees in front of the Cat’s Harmony Pavilion.
When the captain noticed Cain, he immediately rushed over to him.
Cain also stood up and greeted the guards.
“Lord-sama, sorry to have kept you waiting. I’ve brought fifty guards.”
He was out of breath, making Cain appreciate him running all the way from the guard station.
“Thank you, Captain. There’s still some fifty-odd assailants unconscious inside the hall in the house. Also, that bunch over there are the ringleaders.”
Seeing who Cain was pointing at, the captain of the guards’ eyes widened.
“N-no way!? Eribe-sama, Stagg-sama, and even Betty-san from the guild!”
Then the captain of the guard swallowed his saliva when he saw that all three of them were missing limbs and were trembling in response to Cain.
The captain of the guard bowed to Cain, and then began to give instructions to the guards.
“Teams two to five, tie up the assailants inside the mansion. Team one, tie up the ones over here.”
40 guards entered the mansion and started tying up the assailants collapsed in the hall. The rest of them tied up the fallen adventurers and Eribe’s group in turn.
“Lord-sama did this…”
The captain murmured when he found a corpse without a head.
“This lot broke into the Cat’s Harmony Pavilion, and, attacking her parents, kidnapped this child and tried to use her as a hostage. I healed her with recovery magic, so she’s peacefully sleeping over there right now, but a while ago, she was covered in blood and unconscious. I found her parents a while ago and healed them as well. If I had been just a little too late, I wouldn’t have been able to save them any more. There might be other wounded, so please go check.”
At Cain’s words, the captain turned his cold gaze towards Eribe and the others.
“To raise your hand against such a small child… Alright, five of you, go check the Cat’s Harmony Pavilion. If there are any wounded, protect them and lead the guests staying there.”
The captain’s hand holding his sword was quivering as he gave instructions to the guards. He was obviously angry that they had attacked civilians.
After entering the mansion and tying up the attackers, the guards carried them out one by one.
Cain pointed to one of the people among the ones being carried out.
“The one wearing the black hood is also one of the main perpetrators.”
Cain pointed at Rick.
The guards removed the collapsed Rick’s hood. Then seeing his face, the captain of the guards was surprised.
“Th-this guy is the guild master of the dark guild from the slums, Rick. He’s a wanted criminal, however he’s been at large until now. To think that… he was their companion…”
Once again, the captain glared at Eribe and the others.
After making sure that all of them were tied up and gathered in one place, the captain reported to Cain.
“We’ve tied them all up. One person was killed and many others were seriously injured, but I don’t think their lives are in danger. I’m going to take them to the jail.”
Cain nodded at the captain’s report.
“Guards, thank you all for coming here even at this late of an hour. Just hold on a bit more, and we’ll be finished. It may not be much, but I’ll give this to your captain. Use it to drink later, or do whatever you want with it. Think of it as my thanks for your help.”
Cain gave the captain a pouch containing several gold coins.
Surprised, the captain checked the contents, and the turned towards the guards.
“You guys! Did you hear that! We were give gold coins by the lord!! When this is all done, I’ll give some to the guys who’ve finished work as drinking money. So, pay attention till the very end!”
““““““Woo!!!!!!””””””
Hearing that they were going to be given gold coins, the guards cheered in response. Then, moving with remarkable speed compared to earlier, they loaded the captured assailants onto the carriages.
“Now it’s all over. As for the guests at the Cat’s Harmony Pavilion, it seems like they were all in a deep sleep even though the inn was in that state. They may have been drugged or something.”
A representative of the captain of the guards reported to Cain.
“I’ll show up at the station tomorrow. Please keep them in jail for a few days. Also, the four main criminals will probably be taken to the royal capital, so look after them please.”
“Understood, we’ll be waiting tomorrow.”
A few guards stood guard at the lord’s residence, while the rest of them took the assailants away.
Finally, only Cain and Enaku remained.
He gently picked up Enaku and, holding her in a princess carry, he returned to the mansion. In the mansion, the maids, who had woken up due to the commotion, were surprised and flustered by the commotion. There had been dozens of attackers lying in the hall, and it would be strange not to be surprised when the guards also entered.
“Everything’s okay now, so go back and rest. I’ll explain tomorrow.”
Cain placated the maids and headed for the guest room.
When he opened the door to the room where Dash and Himika had been sleeping, they were already awake.
They were both hugging each other and crying because Enaku had been taken away from them.
They were surprised when the door suddenly opened and Cain walked in, and then they noticed Enaku in Cain’s arms, being held in a princess carry.
“Ca-Cain-sama… Is Enaku…”
When Dash and Himika saw Enaku unconscious, they instantly thought of the worst that could possibly have happened.
“It’s all over now. I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused everyone. I’m really sorry. Enaku is safe. She’s unconscious at the moment, but I’m sure she’ll wake up soon. Please rest in this room for the rest of the day.”
They felt like Cain had no need to bow to them, but were relieved to hear that Enaku was unharmed.
Cain gently handed Enaku to Dash.
Enaku’s face was unhurt and he seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Dash and Himika hugged the sleeping Enaku, both in tears.
““Thank you very much, Cain-sama.””
They bowed their heads, to which Cain nodded and left the room.
After returning to his room and changing his clothes, Cain immediately let go of his consciousness due to the lack of sleep.
And thus, the long night ended.
