Middle-aged Adventurer Kein’s Good Deed

64. The Count's Sub-Father

The taxes taken were returned to the inhabitants and Custer, who became a criminal slave, was to serve ten years of labour in the Randall family territory.

Sometimes it'll be hard, but Custer won't be dying either because it's his father's territory.

After all, Count Randall was poisoned by Forneus, the phantom general, who recovered as soon as he received the Church's antidote treatment.

Anyway, the case is said to have come to a close.

And Kid was to continue to go to the Lords' Hall with his father to succeed Count Randall...

"Mr. Kane, do I really act as Count?"

Try to hold Kid's shoulder, which he says anxiously, and Kane encourages.

"What are you talking about? I always thought Kid deserved a big job like that."

"Is it..."

"Yeah. I was surprised to hear it was the Count's son at first, but I see. I was also convinced"

Kidd wears a seriously elegant face and courtesy found in orphans.

I guess the thing about good parenthood is that it gets spooked with nature.

"I was going to hide it, but you expected everything from Mr. Kane."

"No, I didn't know. The fact that you have a solid lord reassures all the inhabitants. I think Kid deserves to be lord."

The people of the village of Tochi also said, "If the young lady will inherit the Count's house, it will be safe!," he says with his mouth shut.

Know Kid, Kane thinks everyone would say that.

"Yes, Mr. Kane, would you come with me?"

"What, me?

Even if you ask me to come with you, I don't know what that means.

"I would like to welcome Mr. Kane as the knight of the Count Randall family, no, as captain of the knight! Dad's okay, too."

Hearing Kid's words, Count Randall contemplates.

"Kid. If you ask me, isn't Mr. Kane the hero who was awarded the Scarlet Light Medal (Scarlet Emblem) by the Kingdom for crusading evil gods"

"That's right. Mr. Kane is an amazing person."

"He is also greatly grateful to my Randall family. It's just too rude to be a knight or something. Isn't Kasai more appropriate? And, of course, a lot of territory and mansions."

"No, no, thank you for the story..."

I want a steady income so much that I can get my hands off my throat, but there's no way I can serve Kane, an adventurer who only knows herb hunting like a knight or a house slayer in the Count's house.

Besides, Kane now already has a fine home in the city of Ern.

There are things about Altena, so we can't move from this land.

"That's right. You can't be a country knight captain. Mr. Kane is the one who can do something bigger than me!

"No, I guess that's too much for Kid..."

There, Princess Sword Anastrea also pinches her voice.

"Anyway, let's count Kane."

"Princess Anna, Sister Sylvia's cooking it out over there, so why don't you go eat it?"

Also, Maya tries to pull her arm back because Princess Sword says something weird.

Villagers have escaped in the church and it has become a lot of noise, so they are also serving soup and light meals with breaks.

"Make Mr. Kane a member of the Count's family, or maybe that would be nice."

Surprisingly, Count Randall came aboard Princess Sword's words.

"What do you mean, Dad?"

"This one must have been Kid's father's replacement"

"Yes, Mr. Kane, I am the most respected man in the world!

"Then why don't you ask Mr. Kane to be Kid's sub-father"

"My sub-father and I have brought an old cliché again."

To Count Randall's words, Maya laughs.

"Maya, what's a sub-father?

asks the sword princess as she gets a properly cooked pork juice to eat.

"A sub-father means someone who respects him after his father. Sometimes when a young nobleman becomes a lord, he sets up the elderly as his guardian as his subfather. When I go to the kingdom, it's like a preacher."

"Heh, that's nice. Count Randall's sub-father, that's cool!

Now Princess Sword is innocently pleased that Kane also has the grand aristocracy.

"I'm going to inherit the lord to my son as I am, but Kid is still too young. But it would be helpful if Mr. Kane watched over me as a father's substitute because I was old and weak."

"No, a lord's guardian is not something I can do about a civilian!

Kane once solidified, but also told Kid, "Please!" He asks me to.

Rarely did the witch Maya also pinch her mouth.

"Mr. Kane. It's only nominal, and Kane told Kid to do the lord, so he's responsible for keeping an eye on you as a guardian."

"Hmm, that's true, though"

Maya is quite persuasive.

In the end, I was supposed to take it on.

"Now Mr. Kane has become associated with my Count Randall family. I'll give you this, so I'd love for you to use it."

"Thanks for everything like this"

Kane was given a cloak with a double-headed eagle crest by Count Randall.

Wear this and you will be generously treated in this region as someone with ties to the lord.

It is my least thanks to Kane for saving Count Randall's two sons.

I heard the Demon King's Army tried to use mercenaries to attack Kane the Good, so it was also a consideration to try to protect him.

"Mr. Kane would be better suited to his father than me and others who miseducated his son."

When Count Randall tells me that a little lonely, Kane can only smile bitterly, too.

Instead of his father, Kane hasn't even gotten his daughter-in-law yet.

"That's not true. I thought it would be nice if I watched you guys fool around and had a family."

That's why I can't watch it, and sometimes I'm in for help.

I'm a little jealous of the Count, who has a kid like Kid.

"From now on, Mr. Kane is my family, too. If there's anything I can do to help, say it."

"Thanks Kid"

It's scary on the big floor when it comes to subfathers of the Counts, etc., but if it means taking care of Kid, it's something I've done before.

In an effort to help him as much as he could, Kane gave him the soft hair of a hugging kid.

Kid also goes to greet the kids who are cooking out as he runs.

The orphanage children will one day graduate from the orphanage and become independent.

But I didn't expect Kid as a leader to be gone so soon, so we all seem to miss him as he congratulates Kid on his future.

Slim, who was close to Kid at the time, called out half the time.

"I don't think you're the lord. But look, I'll be a great knight soon enough."

The other kids are reluctant to say Kid was the son of a grand aristocrat, but only Slim had a good nerve for the next Count, assuming.

"Well, slim. Want to try a knight?

"Oh, yeah!

Slim was also surprised by this kid's offer.

"Yeah, you said you wanted to be a knight. I miss going alone, too, and I was hoping Slim would follow me."

"So instead of Mr. Kane, can you make me captain of the knight, too?

Leonora, a knight who was serving on the side as Kid's escort knight, comes close without sound and taps Slim's head with a trick.

"Don't get on with it. With your immature sword, you can't really call yourself a knight yet. Let's start with the apprenticeship!

"Ouch, what's this sister scared of"

A busy slim shriveled his willingness to fight back just after taking a blow.

Knight Leonora is strong enough that the slim she thought she had worked out is toothless.

"Huh, you're going to be your boss, aren't you? From now on, you call me Teacher Leonora! Equestrianism and swordsmanship are not enough to become knights. I'll knock you right into chivalry and court manipulation, so be prepared!

"Wow!

Everyone laughs at the slim holding their heads and running around.

Even as he shook up his fist and chased Slim, the knight Leonora had his mouth full.

Keeping a close eye on Kid, she thought Slim, who was training with Kid, was also a potential knight.

He seems to be close to Kid, who will be a lord, and he's close in age.

I was just wondering if he would be fit to take over the work of his own escort knight.

As such, it all fits in a circle and I congratulate it.

Looking at it from the field, Maya, a witch who had been rethinking and silent, moves out.

"Princess Anna, Sephiria, and the tiger there"

"It's Tetra!

Princess Anna and Tetra had almost eaten up the cooked boar juice by themselves.

"Okay, okay. Look, how long has Princess Anna been eating too? It's time to discuss future measures."

An operational meeting was about to be held against the threat of the Demon King's Army targeting the good man Kane.
