Volume 2 Chapter 59: Reunion 1/2
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
On the next weekdays, Cain went to school like normal, then, after lessons had ended, he went to Drintor to meet up with Alec and Lula and discuss their plans for the future.
“Thanks to Darmeshia having acquired those materials, all the work’s going well. And Lula, the drawings you drew are excellent too. Although, sometimes you talk about things I don’t understand.”
“Alec-sama was the one who gave all the people instructions so well, I merely helped a bit.”
Said Darmeshia, who was standing in waiting behind Cain.
“Thanks to Darmeshia-sama having gotten us all that lumber, we have more budget left over than we had originally expected, too. The new residential district has already been finished being built, so now we’re working on an adventurers’ school and dormitory. Since the adventurers are also joining in themselves, it’s also going faster than expected.”
Lula explained, spreading one of her drawings out on the table.
The adventurers’ guild had also been cooperating with Alec as much as it could, paying its taxes on time, and as such, there hadn’t been any big problems in the town, according to Alec’s explanation.
Although, when the adventurers drank alcohol, smaller problems would pop up all the time, but as those were mainly quarrels among each other, they didn’t have much effect on the common citizen.
“If that’s the town’s condition, I doubt there will be any problems, then. I’ve got some more complicated things to do on the weekend, so I won’t be able to come here.”
“We’re fine on the infrastructure for now, so it’s no big deal. But still, ‘complicated’, you say? Did you cause some kind of trouble in the royal capital again?”
Alec, who knew that Cain usually behaved outside the bounds of common sense, inquired casually whether he had caused some kind of trouble again.
“I’ll tell you, because it involves you as well, Alec-nii-sama, but, well, you see… you know how mother always said she was a commoner and an adventurer? I found out that she’s actually the oldest daughter of Viscount Geletta… so we’re going to Danlof with mother on the weekend.”
Alec was surprised to find out that Sarah had actually been a noble.
“… mother Sarah, you say… I had assumed she was formerly a commoner from her everyday conduct and speech, but never would I have thought she was actually a noble.”
“Yeah, which is why I’ll be absent for a little while. So I’d like you to take care of things here. Ah, right, this is an investment from Duke Eric, so I’ll leave it in your hands.”
Cain laid the pouch with the five platinum coins inside it onto the table.
Eric had given it to him as reparations, but Drintor wasn’t anywhere near developed enough for Cain’s liking.
Even if he had dismantled the slums, and they managed to keep the cost of raw materials sold at a relatively constant level, without donations from the lord, the standards of living and working wouldn’t rise for the common citizen.
“From Duke Eric… then I’ll gratefully take it. I’ll write him a thank-you letter in your name.”
Alec carefully put the pouch away in a safe.
“I’ll be counting on you to keep developing the town, then.”
And with those words from Cain, the meeting was adjourned.
Then, it was the weekend, and they were about to go to Danlof.
Cain had wanted to go ahead and tell Viscount Santos that they were coming, but Sarah stopped him.
“It’s fine, you don’t have to do that. I want to apologise to Lara.”
“Then, please hold onto me. If you don’t, we can’t [Transfer] together.”
“Yes, got it.”
“Okay.”
Garm and Sarah each held on to one on Cain’s hands.
“Sebas, I’ll be back tomorrow. I’ll leave the place to you until then.”
“Leave it to me, Garm-sama.”
Sebas bowed.
“Cain-kun, can I hug you then?”
Reine asked, her eyes shining.
“… holding my hand would be enough, but…”
Not listening to Cain at all, Reine embraced him from behind.
*sniff sniff* “It’s Cain-kun’s scent–”
While feeling her slightly grown breasts press him from behind, Cain sighed at her complete disregard of what he had just said and cast the magic.
[Transfer]
Their field of view changed in an instant.
As Cain had thought that transferring directly into Viscount Santos’ mansion would have caused some problems, they ended up near the town’s gates.
As this was their first time transferring, the other three were surprised when they looked around themselves.
“To think the day would come when I would experience [Transfer]…”
“That nostalgic gate…”
“We’re here already? Even though I wanted to hug Cain-kun for longer…”
While listening to the three’s different reactions, Cain escaped from Reine.
“I transferred here, near the entrance gate to the town, so I’m sorry but we’ll have to walk from here.”
They were around ten minutes from the gate by foot, so they arrived at the town’s entrance soon enough.
The guards at the gate, seeing the group of four, wearing noble’s clothes, walking towards them on the main road, were struck by nervousness wondering if something had happened to them along their way there.
Thinking, ‘what if…’.
So, one of the guards sprinted over to Cain’s group.
“Excuse me. You seem to be nobles, but might I ask for your family’s name? And as you’re walking… did something happen?”
The middle-aged guard, who Cain assumed was the captain there, called out to them politely.
“Ah, sorry, I’m Cai– –”
“I’m Margrave Garm von Silford Gracia. We’ve come to see Sir Santos. The details are of no concern to you.”
As Cain was about to take out the proof that he was a viscount, Garm stated that he was a margrave, and showed the captain the proof that it was true.
Garm’s proof of being a margrave was more ornate than Cain’s proof of being a viscount.
The guards, as well as their captain, all tensed up at hearing that the nobles who had walked up to the gate were an actual margrave, which was a noble rank that was higher than even their territory’s lord’s, and his family.
“Ye-yes! Please, pass on through. We’ll prepare a carriage immediately. Oy, you lot, get going and prepare a carriage already! And someone run to the lord’s place too!”
At the captain’s shouting, the younger guards ran off in a hurry.
“We’ll prepare the carriage for you immediately, so please wait here for a little while.”
The captain politely guided them into the reception room of a building next to the gate.
“I apologise for it being so cramped in here. Once the carriage is ready, we’ll take you to the mansion immediately.”
Garm took out a pouch from his pocket and gave it to the competent guard captain.
“Sorry for all the trouble we’re causing you. Take this and hand it out to the guards in the evening.”
“We don’t deserve this much gratitude, but we will gratefully accept.”
He carefully put the pouch away in his own pocket.
Ten minutes later, the carriage was ready, and the four of them got on the carriage, with one of the guards as the coachman.
“Thank you for looking after us.”
After Garm called out to the guard captain, the carriage departed.
Inside the carriage, Garm sat silently, his arms crossed.
Sarah was enjoying the nostalgic town she hadn’t seen in over ten years.
And Reine was hugging onto Cain’s arm.
“Reine-nee-sama…”
“We haven’t ridden in a carriage sitting next to each other like this lately, so I’ve got to replenish my Cain-kun-o-meter…”
Cain had thought that perhaps with her being constantly busy at school, she had stopped being a brocon, but it turned out that was not the case.
While crossing arms with Reine, Cain too enjoyed the townscape he had seen only a week ago through a window of the carriage.
Passing through the town, the carriage arrived at the lord’s residence in twenty minutes.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting. We have arrived at the mansion.”
The guard opened the door, having gotten off the carriage before them.
When they got out of the carriage, the lord’s whole family had already lined up in front of the door to meet them.
The guard who had run ahead had told them everything.
When all four of them had disembarked, Santos walked up to Garm.
“Margrave Garm, it has been a long time since our last meeting.”
“Sir Santos, I apologize for not having gotten into contact with you prior to coming here. I read your letter. There are some things we now need to talk about, so I had to come over on short notice.”
Garm bowed lightly, then looked at Sarah.
Tears had started to well up in the eyes of Santos and the servants who had been working at the mansion for a longer time at seeing Sarah.
Lara was already crying.
Only Leela, who didn’t understand what was going on, had a puzzled face.
“– – Sarah, how are you holding up?”
“Father, it has indeed been a long time. I am terribly sorry for having caused you trouble.”
Tears welling up in her eyes, Sarah bowed deeply.
Santos nodded, his eyes still watery. Then, he turned to look at Cain.
“Sir Cain, sorry. I didn’t think you’d be coming this soon… I was really surprised when a guard came bursting in here and began explaining everything.”
“No, as it’s a reunion after a long time, I thought the sooner the better…”
Santos nodded at Cain’s words, then turned to Garm.
“It must have been a long trip. Please rest in the mansion. Sorry, but currently, Duke Eric is also here on a visit.”
Hearing that, Cain thought ‘uh-oh’.
He had talked to Eric the week before, but he hadn’t told him about Sarah.
Thinking he had no choice but to leave the explanation to Garm, Cain and the others were guided into the mansion.
“Yooo, Sir Garm, Cain-kun, who would’ve ever thought we’d meet here?”
Duke Eric was already waiting in the hall, smiling.
