Volume 4 Chapter 17: Arrival at Drintor
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Lagett and the adventurer, who was likely from Drintor, had grabbed each other by their shirts’ necks.
“What’s this conceited countryside C-Rank saying to me!? I’m a C-Rank who’s survived in Drintor, alright!?”
“We’re both C-Rank, and Drintor’s also the countryside isn’t it!? Eh, eh!?”
Ninalee tried to intervene, but Lagett wouldn’t settle down. The two adventurers both seemed really drunk.
Cain entered the cafeteria while sighing, then called out to the two.
“Could you quit already? You’re bothering the other customers––”
“What a loud brat! Shut up!”
“Shut up Cain! This is our problem here!”
Seemingly not having any intention of listening to Cain, the two adventurers moved away from each other, reaching for their swords.
If they were to pull out their swords, it would turn into a big problem.
Cain heaved a deep sigh––
“––You two… stop that…”
Simultaneously with his words, Cain’s killing intent filled the cafeteria in an instant.
The two who were trying to start a fight, having been hit directly with the killing intent, began trembling, their teeth chattering in fright.
And then, not only Ninalee, who had also been trying to stop them, but all other adventurers who had been eating in the cafeteria began shaking.
“Wh-what are you…”
Asked Lagett, his face pale, but the adventurer from Drintor froze when he turned around and saw Cain’s face.
“––––S-Silver Devil…”
There was no adventurer from Drintor who didn’t know that name.
It was the name of a silver-haired child who had wrecked the guild’s training ground and driven high-ranking adventurers to retirement.
Naturally, only a few people knew he was also the territory’s lord, but none of them were present there.
(Silver Devil, eh… I’ve been given another terrible nickname haven’t I…)
Cain stepped closer to them, and the adventurer from Drintor fell down backwards, leaning away.
Then, Cain spoke with a smile.
“This is a staging outpost’s bar. It’ll cause trouble if you rampage here, won’t it? You’re an adventurer, so you should know that… right?”
Trembling from fear at Cain’s words, the people in the cafeteria all nodded vigorously.
Cain then extinguished his killing intent and turned to Lagett with a smile.
“There’s a lot of adventurers in Drintor, y’know. So watch out, okay? Ah, excuse meee, one fruit juice please.”
The waitress who was working at the bar had taken cover behind the counter when Cain had released his killing intent returned to herself at his words and began getting the fruit juice with a ‘Yes! Right away!’
Prepared at mach speeds, the drink was soon put in front of Cain.
The adventurer who had been looking for a fight with Lagett left the store as if escaping, letting his companions pay.
Cain went and sat down in the seat he had sat in earlier to drink his drink, continuing his meal, but no-one else went anywhere near his table.
“What’s up?”
As Cain asked between sips, Ninalee, who was a little further away asked in a small voice.
“––Cain-kun… what on-…”
Cain smiled at the question and answered with just a single sentence.
“…I’m just an adventurer from Drintor, ‘kay?”
Everyone present must have thought the same thing at that. Something like ‘That’s ridiculous.’
However, as they were all feeling too much fear, no-one could actually say it to him.
Feeling a little apologetic for turning the bar as silent as a funeral service, Cain quickly went back to his room.
“I think I overdid it a little… I thought I made my killing intent weaker too…”
The next day, all the escorts had finished breakfast and were waiting in front of the inn Leline had stayed at, carriage and all prepared.
Perhaps due to the day before, the other four were waiting a little distance away from Cain.
(I think I might’ve screwed up yesterday…)
Cain thought such things while waiting for Leline to finally appear.
A little while later, Leline and her servants exited the building. She elegantly greeted them all, then got in the carriage, after which they set off.
On the way, it was silent, a large change compared to the day before. Changed by the Cain of the day before, Lagett also seemed to have restrained himself.
Then, Ninalee spoke to Cain.
“Say, Cain-kun, you are actually –– pretty famous…?”
Cain smiled at the slightly nervous Ninalee.
“I don’t really think that’s the case… It was just some little thing in the guild in Drintor…”
Cain explained evasively, to which Ninalee patted her chest in relief.
Actually, no-one who knew of Cain’s exploits could even look him in the eyes, and people who knew he was the lord of the territory couldn’t just call out to him so light-heartedly.
“Really? You’re so cute, yet those people called you a really strange name yesterday… what was it, ‘Silver Devil’, right?”
Cain nodded at that, smiling bitterly. Ninalee broke out in a smile, and, saying ‘I’ve got to go solve everyone’s misunderstandings’, she ran over to the others.
Thanks to Ninalee’s explanation, they all loosened up a little by the lunch break, with only Lagett still keeping his distance.
After lunch, having proceeded on for a while, some goblins came out of the forest, but Lagett charged right at them and was easily able to deal with them.
As they went on, Drintor eventually came into view.
Thanks to Cain’s magic, Drintor was surrounded by an unbelievably splendid outer wall. It spanned several kilometers long, and voices rose from Cain’s fellow travellers.
“Wow… So this is Drintor…”
“Really awesome…”
The town’s entrance gate was crowded with merchants’ carts. With that queue, Cain could see that they would be stuck there by nightfall.
Cain left them in the line, saying he would go see if they could be let in first.
Walking past the long queue, he called out to a young guard.
“I’m the escort of a noble’s daughter who would like to pass through, could you please let us do so?”
“Noble!? Who might it be?”
“The daughter of Count Legant from the town of Misinga.”
“A Count’s family… ID card please––”
“It’s fine. If they’re his companions they can pass right in through.”
A middle-aged guard interrupted the young one.
“You can enter just with this. Or rather… is it adventurer business… Cain-sama…”
Cain lightly bowed, smiling at the middle-aged guard whose words trailed off into silence.
“Thank you. I’m an escort this time. Please keep my position a secret! Well then, I’ll go call the carriage!”
Cain left those words hanging in the air and ran back to the carriage.
Seeing how the middle-aged guard had treated Cain, the young one asked him about it, tilting his head in confusion.
“Captain, can we really just let them through like this? We haven’t confirmed anything.”
“!?… try to remember, all right. That person is––”
The middle-aged guard quietly whispered Cain’s position into the young guard’s ear.
“?! The Lord-sama!? Seriously!? He’s the rumoured…”
“If you want to work here, make sure you remember that, all right?”
“Yes sir!!”
Unknowing of that exchange, Cain returned to the carriage and told them they could pass through.
“Now that’s what I call a local adventurer…”
Were the words that escaped from Lagett at their treatment.
The carriage passed right past the cart all queueing up to enter, and guards lined up on either side of the gate, the carriage passing through the space between them and rolling into the town.
The adventurers were confused at how even they were treated as VIPs.
Then, once the party was inside the town, they were all surprised by the wide and paved-with-cobblestones roads.
“Wow… this place has been built even more beautifully than the royal capital…”
“Yeah… they said it became like this after the place got a new lord…”
Ninalee and Mine whispered to each other as they walked through the town.
Lagett and Kros also walked past the beautifully maintained townscape full of nervousness.
Cain didn’t really seem to care though, and, leading the way, he guided them to the very best inn in Drintor.
Leline and her servants would be staying there, but the escorts would be staying in a different inn again.
The coachman got off the carriage and went ahead to check in, then Leline also disembarked from the carriage.
“Cain-sama, thank you very much for arranging all this for us.”
“These are also the duties of being an escort. Then, that’ll be it for me, so if you could please sign the request paper.”
Cain took out the request paper from his pocket and handed it over to a servant, who signed it and then gave it back.
“Thank you very much. That’s it for my escort duties, but I’ll show Lagett and the others to their inn.”
As Cain was leading Lagett and the other three away towards their inn, Leline called out to him from behind.
“Umm… Cain-sama… Actually, later––”
Cain nodded with a smile at Leline’s words.
TN: help I need a proper adjective for Drintor
