Since the previous day's chastisement was successfully over and the school was on holiday, Cain showed up at the Adventurer's Guild for the first time in a long time.
Since it was before noon, there were few adventurers and the reception area was also deserted.
The receptionist, Letia-san, was there, so he called out to her.
It's been a long time since I've seen you, Letia-san. Do you have any good requests for ...?
I decided to ask Letia-san since I had never received a request to defeat him except for a request to defeat him because he had suddenly risen to A-rank, so I decided to ask her.
''Ah, Cain-sama, it's been a while. It's a request, but before that, when Cain-sama arrives, the guild master said he wanted to meet with you, so I'll show you around.
Letia gave a word to the other receptionist and came out of the counter.
'There's a guild master on the floor above us who can show you around.
He followed Letia up the stairs.
The guildmaster's office was at the far end of the third floor, and the entrance was a magnificent door.
Letia knocks on it.
''Guildmaster, Cain-sama is here to see you.
You can come in.
A voice came from the other side of the door and Letia opened the door and let him in.
Cain walked straight into the room and sat down on the sofa as he was led in.
I'll bring you some tea now.
Saying that, Letia left as it was.
It's been a long time since I've seen you, Cain-kun. Well, sit down there. I was worried about you because you didn't come to me for a request very often.
Cain greets her from his seat on the couch.
'It's been a long time, Edin. I haven't had a free day since I started at the academy. ...
'Well, it can't be helped. In fact, we need you to take out that bandit we were talking about before. In case you're wondering, Class A is supposed to be experienced.
You said before, so where are you going?
Just then there was a knock at the door and Letia brought the tea.
'Thank you for your patience.'
He leaves the tea in front of them.
'Letia, can you bring me the file on the bandit in the example?
Yes, I understand.
Letia leaves the room again.
'I'll bring you some documents now and then I'll explain.
A few minutes later, Letia came into the room with a request form and documents.
''These are the documents, and it concerns Cain-kun, this bandit group comes out of Gracia territory on their way to the royal capital.
Saying that, I unfolded a map of the Esfort Kingdom and checked out the places that had been attacked so far.
It's a bandit group of ten people, but are they okay? Is it a wild thing to ask? I don't see competence as an issue, but it's still whether they can kill people: ...
Edin was still worried about that.
'I don't know if they'll kill him, but they might capture him. I think he'll be fine.
It's only a day's drive from the capital, so I'll give you three weeks to make a request. The reward is two gold coins. As you wish.
Okay. I'll go right over.
Cain received the materials and left the guild.
The two gold coins as a reward would amount to about 2 million yen in Japanese yen. However, Cain had already made huge profits from his partnership with the Chamber of Commerce, and he wasn't that attached to the amount of money.
Once in the alleyway, he uses long distance instantaneous movement (long warp) to transition out of the royal capital.
As it was, he floated up with a flight (fly) and flew along the road, flying a hundred meters above the city.
As I flew above, I watched the flow of carriages and people coming and going from the capital, and as I flew, the carriage was being attacked a few kilometers away.
'There they are. Just make it in time.''
Cain accelerated through the air at once and flew away.
It was one carriage and two guards that were being attacked. There were ten bandits as per the information.
They went to the air above the carriage and landed on the ground.
''We'll join them!
Cain drew his sword and held it ready.
Everyone was stunned by the child who suddenly appeared.
「「「「 eh」」」」
Oh, Mr. Cain?
Master Cain?
Both the coachman and his escort looked familiar.
'Mr. Sabinos? Dr. Nina?
I looked at the other one. The other had his red hair bunched back and was holding a sword at the ready. He seemed to have been slashed all over the place and was bleeding.
''Milly-sensei!!!''
When Cain found out that Milly was injured, he reached Milly's front at once.
''Hey, hey. We've got one more kid on the block. Two women are goodies, too, and the kid could be sold off for good money.
One of the bandits licked his tongue and directed a sickening laugh at me.
'Cain-ka! It was tough to be alone in this crowd. Can you help me get through it?
'Mr. Millie, I'll do it. Mr. Millie, please stay back.
Saying that, he hung a 'high heel' on Millie.
I'm sure you'll be able to find it in time with a heel, but thanks to the high heel, the wound was quickly closed.
It's a good thing that you're not going to have to deal with ten people .... I've already recovered and I'll help you too.
'Milly-san, the wound is closed, but the blood won't return. You'll have to guard Sabinos-san. I'll take care of the rest.
The bandits laughed at Cain, who was the only one to come out.
'What can one kid do? The kid can suck on your mommy's tits.
"'Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!
'Is that all you have to do .... You need to be punished for injuring Dr. Millie ....
Cain didn't move, but flashed his sword on the spot.
One of the laughing bandits fell as it was, his upper and lower body displaced.
「「「「「 eh」」」」」
The laughing bandits, Millie and Nina both froze.
Cain's sword skills were just a flash on the spot, and his upper body and lower body were separated. They shouldn't be surprised.
''This kid is dangerous. I'm going for real.
Cain had killed the first one, but he intended to capture the other thieves. He knew that selling off the child meant that he was in the illegal slave trade somewhere.
Cain sheathed his sword and ran into the bandits at once. In an instant the rest of the bandits who had been standing there collapsed after being poked in the gut or hit in the jaw by the scabbard.
''Huh. Still hard to tame. ...'
Saying that, I pull out a rope from the item box.
Dr. Millie, I'm done with them, now please help me tie them up.
Milly, who had been frozen in place when she saw Cain's movements, finally began to move.
'I could barely see the move ... now.
Muttering this, Millie took the rope from Cain and tied up the bandits one by one.
The capture of the bandits was over and they took a breath.
''I'm glad we made it in time. But still, it's a coincidence that we're meeting here.''
Thank you, Master Cain.
Thank you, Cain. You're a lifesaver.
That was cool, Mr. Cain.
The three of them thanked me.
'But then, why is Cain here?
Millie came to visit me.
''I've received a request from the guild master to take out the bandits. When I was looking for them, I just found Milly-sensei and the others being attacked.
"Oh no, ... Cain, you're only ten years old, right? The capture of bandits starts with a C-rank. And that's what you're testing for to get a B grade.
Cain honestly took out his guild card.
The card was a golden (gold) shining card.
''A-ranked!''
That's Cain-kun: ...
It was Dr. Milly and Ms. Sabinos who were surprised. Nina-sensei was as unfazed as ever.
''Due to a number of things, I was forced to get an A-grade.
Well, I'll tell you the story when we get to King's Landing. What are you going to do about these thieves?
That's okay.
Cain pulled out a horse-drawn carriage bed style thing from the item box.
It looked like a truck with no roof on the driver's seat or the bed.
'Eh.'
It was Sabinos who was surprised. Millie and Nina both knew that Cain had an item box.
'Creative Production (Creative Making)'
Cain cast a spell and the cargo bay turned into a cage.
'This will keep me in here and I'll be fine. This wagon runs on magic stones, so I don't need a horse.'
Cain is still a mess.
Millie laughed at Cain's explanation.
Sabinos was surprised to see his eyes glaze over.
After calming down, they all carried the still-living bandits to the cage. The first dead bandit was already stored in Cain's item box.
Then let's go to the capital! I'll walk with you to the capital.
With that, Cain rode to the royal capital in a self-propelled wagon with the caged bandits on board.
