Volume 8 Chapter 3: The Ones Who Were Summoned
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“…So then, you’re saying that the Baisas Empire is somehow involved in the previous pope’s assassination…?”
“Most certainly. However, we don’t have any evidence, so they’ll brush any accusations off easily.”
The summoning jewels were usually kept in the treasury that could only be operated by the pope, under strict control. During the assassination of the previous pope, however, a number of jewels had been stolen, the summoning jewels among them.
Cain frowned beneath his mask at the fact that a new Hero, like Yuuya had been, had been summoned.
“I actually received a letter from the bishop stationed in Baisas. Including the one called the Hero, four people were summoned. One of them doesn’t seem to have any combat power though, and is thus on standby in the palace. The summoning jewels are the most valuable treasures of the Holy Country, so the bishop protested, but apparently he was lightly brushed aside. It seems they told him that their own country had prepared them.”
(It might have been Japanese people like Yuuya-san who were summoned…)
“What do the summoned people look like…?”
“He didn’t write in that much detail, but apparently they all have either black or brown hair, as well as black eyes. Two boys and girls each, all in their teens.”
(So the probability of them being Japanese is high after all… It’d be nice if I could get into contact with them, but…)
Cain had also been a Japanese person in his previous life. He felt nostalgic, but as a Japanese person himself, it was unthinkable for him to participate in a war.
Even with beastmen, one could still conduct talks. And while Cain had experience killing in this world, one still needed a certain amount of resolve.
Naturally though, a minor couldn’t just participate in a war, even if they wanted to.
“Thank you very much for the information. A request for aid has reached Esfort from Kermes, and the Kingdom is planning on responding. We’d appreciate it if you could also dispatch some people who can use healing magic, if possible.”
The pope nodded at Cain’s words.
“I have already finished making the arrangements for that. We also do naval trade with them. We’ll be sending over multiple people who can use healing magic.”
“Thank you. Now, I have to urgently return to the Kingdom and make arrangements, so––”
“Cain-sama!”
Hinata hugged Cain, interrupting him.
Her face red all the way to her ears, she looked up from Cain’s chest.
Hinata didn’t get to meet Cain often, and her status forbade her from freely going to other countries. So, she wanted to cherish the moment.
“Hmm, I’m busy, so I’m afraid I’ll have to leave now. You can stay and use this room, I don’t mind. Then, Cain-sama, please take care of her.”
The pope left the room smiling, giving Cain a thumbs-up.
During that, Hinata didn’t let go of Cain.
Cain gently stroked Hinata’s head while she kept her face buried in his chest.
“Hinata, sorry for not coming to see you so often. I’ll come see you again once I’ve managed to stop this war. Then, I’ll show you around Drintor again.”
“…Really…?”
“Yeah, of course. It’ll be just the two of us.”
“Yes, please. Just the two of us.”
Cain had realised Hinata’s fondness for him after she had visited Drintor once. And while he had his current fiancées, he would not make Hinata an outcast.
While it was unthinkable for his previous life, in this world, polygamy was quite normal.
But then, looking at Cain’s fiancées, none of them were normal.
After chatting while sitting next to each other on the sofa for a short while, Cain made to return to Esfort.
“Well then, see you.”
“Yes, please take care. You are the Apostle-sama, but you still might be injured due to the Hero.”
“Yeah, if they were as strong as Yuuya-san, I’d be in trouble, but I’m sure it’ll be fine. I’ll come see you once I’m finished.”
Cain stood up and cast Transfer.
His field of vision spun around, and he had Transferred to his office in Drintor.
Almost immediately as he leaned back against the backrest of his chair, there came a knock on the door.
“Cain-sama, you seem to have returned…”
Given permission to enter the room, Darmeshia appeared.
Cain wondered if he kept the room under constant surveillance, but then quickly moved onto the main topic.
“Darmeshia, I’ll be going to the Beast Kingdom of Kermes. Baisas has invaded there. So, there’s something I’d like to ask of you––”
Cain told Darmeshia how the Hero and co. had appeared in Baisas, and asked him to find out what was going on in Baisas and Kermes.
“Please leave it to me. However, even I cannot be in two countries at once, so please understand that it will take a little time. I’ll send my subordinates immediately.”
“Yeah. I wish I could fly there, but I’ll have to go by boat with the others. So, you should have some leeway.”
Regarding the collection of information, no one surpassed Darmeshia. As an Insect Master, it was his speciality.
His subordinate insects would collect all the information, sharing it with Darmeshia, their master. It was quite useful, since no one in this world paid any attention to a bug being inside their mansion.
Then, the day Cain would set off to the Beast Kingdom of Kermes on dawned.
