Next day. The day has come for the royal capital. He had breakfast with Hinata, but he didn't show his face last night, and he was just barely showing his face. Cain doesn't care because he knows the situation, but he doesn't care about Ragnaf. He continues to talk to the saint while being skeptical that he may be in a bad mood because of his mischief. Cain talks about Lagunafu.

"Saint, have you ever gone beyond the Esfort Kingdom?"

Unlike when listening to Lagunafu, she replies with an immediate smile.

"Cain, the Esfort Kingdom is the first time. I was selected by God's oracle.

"Yes, that's right. I've never been out of the country, so I'd like to go around the nations someday. I'm a lord now, so it won't be easy ..."

Cain replied to cover Hinata's words. Giving Hinata, who reacts with a smile to Cain's words, feel more likely to give Ragnaf a greater gaze of jealousy. Under such tension, prepare for the departure to finish the meal and head to the royal capital. Cain had all his luggage in the item box and was always empty-handed, but there were quite a lot of luggage including changing clothes. I once asked, "Do you want to carry it in an item box?" It may be that she was shy because she was a woman. In Lagunafu, a carriage with Cain and Silk will take the lead, followed by a carriage with Hinata. Before departure, I asked the silk "How about the same lady in the same carriage?", But before Hinata replied, the captain of the escort stepped forward and indicated his intention to refuse. After all Hinata might have said something in the carriage. Hinata's gaze follows Cain, but nothing else can help. A carriage loaded with ingredients from Sylvester territory came to the back and slowly left the city of Sylvester. Lagunafu accompanied the city to the entrance. After all, he is an avid believer.

The carriage will travel to the royal capital over the next two days.

Given what Hinata had told me, I needed to keep on guard. There is no problem for Cain, who is already out of town in battle, including his status, but the carriage continues to move, pondering what the Pope will do.

Three hours have passed since we left the city, and the sun was already high. The carriage stops off the road to prepare for lunch, and the servant moves around busy. Cain, while assessing the ingredients used for lunch, found that one of them was toxic.

"What are these ingredients?"

Ask the squire, but do not know the ingredients he has piled up, tilt his head. The smoked meat was taken out, placed on the ground and baked using magic. A pale, hot fire instantly extinguishes the ingredients into charcoal. The servants suddenly cast magic and were surprised at the baking of the ingredients, but could not complain about the aristocrat's behavior, and began cooking with the remaining ingredients. Back at Silk, Cain's behavior seemed strange and asked a question.

"Cain-kun, what happened earlier? Meat isn't piled up, but it burns ..."

"Is silk a little good? I have something to talk about."

At a short distance from the guard, Cain whispers at the silk ears.

"The food and poison I mentioned earlier were in there. I'm convinced that I used an appraisal. Someone is aiming at this group."

I don't say she's the guard. Because if he denounces without evidence, it could lead to a national problem. Of course, Hinata also told me. When he wondered when he talked, he had no confidence to hide.

"Huh? Really?"

Holding her surprised silk lips with her index finger, Cain nods silently. He continued his words in a small voice.

"I can protect you no matter what, but if I have something when I'm not there, I'll hold on to the necklace stone I've given you and give it my magic. It'll protect you."

Silk takes a necklace out of clothes and stares.

"Yes, I understand. Cain-kun is the best helper."

The smiling silk puts the necklace in the clothes again.

Everyone started eating lunch as if nothing had happened. Several people, including the guards of the Marineford State escort, escaped the food circle while sipping on the dried meat to be on guard.

"Is this sure? ..."

Cain mutters in a small voice. And anger gradually rises. Using poison intends to poison those who eat with him, including Hinata. Some of them include silk. Cain would be fine with tolerance, but others would not have survived. Cain stared at the guard guard in a distance.

At the end of the meal, a few people return, including the escort commander, with no face. Seeing the servants who are eating and preparing for departure, they look as if they bite the worm.

"Hey, escort, did you have anything?"

Cain talks to the escort commander with no face.

"No, no, nothing. There are no signs of demons around."

Going away from Cain by saying just one word.

Cain mutters in a whisper that no one can hear while looking behind him.

"I don't want you to do what you want ..."

Exploration Ready for departure, carriages begin to advance. The highway runs along the forest, and there are not a few monsters in the forest. However, using it, he knew the whole monster's movement and knew that he would not come to this group.

Cain noticed that the monsters in the forest were behaving strangely as the carriage progressed for about an hour. I felt that it was going to the carriage from the back of the forest, maybe dozens. Cain prompts him to stop the carriage immediately. Suddenly surprised at the yelling voice from the carriage, the man parked the carriage on the roadside. Cain instructs Silk to stay in the carriage and jumps off the carriage. The carriage at the top stopped, and the carriage at the back also stopped. Cain urged his guards to prepare for battle.

"Devils are gathering from the forest. Move your carriage right away from the forest and get ready for battle!"

According to Cain's words, the knights descended their horses, evacuated, and drew their swords. Suddenly preparing for battle, the Saints' guards are impatient.

"Captain of the escort! The monsters are approaching. Evacuate the wagon of the saint immediately. Evacuate the rest except the escort. We will fight. You will protect the saint."

Despite doubting Cain's words, he evacuated his carriage and began preparing for battle.

And five minutes later.

Sounds of the group acting from behind the forest can be heard. Cain takes the lead, and behind them the guard knights line up. No one says anything, as Cain's army is watching a mock battle with Tijuana, the commander of the Knights of the Guard. Conversely, guards from the Malinford religion murmured, "Why, nobles, children are at the top ...", with the guards knights behind them with their children at the head.

Mori Wolf And the first thing that came out was the group. Is the number about twenty? Is famous for living in groups in the forest and quickly catching prey, but never leaves the forest. Cain emits magic while thinking about such a thing.

Vacuum blade ""

Magic cast without chanting buries demons one after another. It continues to dispose of the monsters to come out one after another, but endlessly monster emerges from the forest.

"Something strange ..."

Cain looked back at the captain guarding the Saint's carriage.

"Alone, go to the escort and ask if you have something weird. This is too weird."

Cain buried goblins and orcs coming out of the forest one after another, and a mound of monsters had already been formed around Cain.

The guard knight who went to ask the escort of the saint returned.

"Cain-sama, I understand. You seem to have used incense to avoid monsters, but one of them was the incense of a demon collector.

Demon avoidance incense is the incense that merchants carry around during the peddling so as not to be attacked by demons. And the demon scent is incense used by adventurers to gain experience in areas where there are few demon, and is not used because there are many forests where demons live in this equestrian kingdom. If you use demon incense in this country, it will be like this.

Cain nods at the report of the Guard Knight and kills the demons that follow. No matter how low the demons, if they were attacked by so many demons, they would have suffered enormous damage without Cain. The battle for less than an hour is over, and no monsters have already left the forest. There are many piles of dead monsters around Cain.

"Is it over soon ..."

As Cain turns, the guard knights, who have done nothing, are stunned.

"We don't need ..." "There's nothing we can do with that magic ..." "Cain-sama, you don't even pull out your sword ..." "I understand better that he's stronger than the leader ... "

Cain instructed the guard knights muttering for a short while, and walked into the carriage to protect the saint. With the strength of Cain's genie, the saint's escorts go down one step at a time, with swords pulled out and trembling with fear.

"It's okay because the monsters have been destroyed. Why do you need incense? You never needed it."

Cain is angry at risk, including his servant, and asks in an angry voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ... I was trying to be careful, but it was mixed with what I brought out of my country. There was no particular malice. I will take care of the administrator, because I was exposed to this danger. "

The captain of the escort had no choice but to respond to the army of Cain's demon as he saw it up close.

"--I see. From now on, don't do anything extra."

"Is there any problem with Lord Cain releasing that magic?"

The fearsome captain asked Cain.

"That's okay, but if I weren't there, the guard knights might have suffered too much. It could have been annihilated. Please understand well."

"……all right"

After telling her what she wants to say, she returns to the Guard Knights.

"I let you wait. So let's bring this monster carcass home. When we return, we can earn the Knights."

The guard knights rejoice at Cain's words. With all this demonic material, it's a reasonable amount of money, no matter how low. Cain flew into the item boxes one after another, and the monster carcasses, which had so many piles, had disappeared long enough.

The guard knights knew that Cain had an item box, but the guards of the religion were stunned at the sight they saw for the first time. To use an item box that can hold such a large amount of things, you cannot do the same without having a huge amount of magic. The same would not be possible with the country's first magician. The escort captain wrinkles between her eyebrows without doing anything to Cain's appearance. With the preparations complete, Cain signaled the departure and the carriage began to move forward.

"Cain-kun, he was cool when he was in the oak, but it was just wonderful."

The words of Silk, excited about Cain's battle, cause Cain to shy his head.

After that, he arrived at the royal capital on a two-day schedule without any interference from the captain of the escort, leaving no image of the battle.
