Thanks for your help.
Cain thanked the people for seeing him off in a cheerful voice.
The Guerretta family, who had been so kind to him yesterday, would see him off.
'I asked them for the letter. But still, are you sure you don't want to send it in a carriage?
Cain shook his head at Santos' question.
'I'm moving around as an adventurer, and besides, it's faster to be alone. I'll make sure to give the letter to my parents.
Tucking the letter to Garum and Sarah away in his pocket, Cain bowed his head for the last time and said, "Next time I'll be with my family," before turning away and walking away.
He hadn't had time to look at the city, as he had been in a carriage when he came to the mansion, but by walking alone, he could see that the city was thriving.
People had been coming and going since the morning, and there were many open-air shops to be found.
'It's a nice city .... Now I'll have to bring your mother and sister Rayne with me.
Cain mutters and heads through the city streets to the gate.
He begins to walk through the gate and down the street towards Malbeek. Then, after confirming that there are no more people, he flies up at once.
Cain flew along the road a few dozen meters off the ground.
As the Malbeek territory approached, the road became more and more crowded with carriages and guards.
Then the destination, the Malbeek Territorial Capital, came into view.
Malbeek's territorial capital is surrounded by mountains. The back of the city is surrounded by mountains and smoke is rising from everywhere.
Could it be ... hot springs?
Cain had memories of his previous life, and as a former Japanese, he loved baths more than anyone else. And he had a thing for hot springs.
He landed a short distance away and started walking towards the territorial gate, hoping that maybe he could take a hot spring.
At the territorial gate, the guards, who were the gatekeepers, inspected the cargo and asked for permission to pass.
Cain lined up at the end of the line and made his way a little further along.
'Alright, next! You don't look familiar, do you? Are you an adventurer in that outfit?
It was Cain's turn to look at his appearance and the guards asked him.
'Yes, I am an adventurer. I've traveled alone to this city to try to come here.'
Cain presents a guild card from his pocket. The guards were surprised to see the gold (gold) shining A-ranked card.
'At that age, an A-rank is .... Your luggage is ... that's all. Okay, you can go through.
After receiving permission from the guards, Cain walked through the gate.
The city wasn't that big for a duke's territory. However, when walking through the city, there were buildings lined up that appeared to be spa inns.
In front of the inn, there were many people calling in.
''Customer! Our hot springs are the best! Come on in.
'There are better hot springs over here!
Cutting through the touts of the callers, Cain proceeded to look around the city.
'If there are so many hot spring lodges, it's hard to know where to find the best one: ...
There were already more than twenty lodges lined up just on the street we already passed.
Hmmm. I don't know which one is good. Oh, should I ask the guild?
Thinking it would be best to ask the people of the city about the lodgings in the city, Cain asked a passerby for the location of the guild and headed off on a short run.
The guild had a building with a sword and shield sign in the city's central district. The size of the building was respectable, even if it was not as large as the adventurer's city of Drintle.
Cain opens both doors and enters. For a moment, the eyes of the adventurers inside gathered, but as soon as they realized it was a child, they disengaged.
As it is, he stands in front of the empty receptionist and calls out to her.
''Excuse me. I just arrived in this town today, where do you recommend the hot spring inn?
The receptionist smiles at what she thought was a request, but then smiles at the fact that she came to ask about the hot spring inn.
''--Is it a hot spring inn? .... Adventurers have different lodgings that they can introduce to you depending on your rank, though.
I'm registered. I'll send you an adventurer's card.
Get out of my way, you little shit. Iron is the bath? It's a luxury! If you want a bath, go ask the guys who called for you.
Just as Cain was about to pull out a card from his pocket, a gruff voice called out from behind him.
You'll find a large, warrior-like appearance, and a red-faced adventurer who seems to be a bit drunk.
'... You'd better get out of here right now, Mr. ....
The receptionist behind him calls out to him, but Cain returns his words to the man with a blank expression.
''I'm just listening, would you mind not interrupting me? I'll be out of here as soon as I'm done.
Cain didn't seem bothered, he said a few words to the drunken man and turned to the receptionist again.
His face reddened drunkenly at the words, and the man began to get even redder and angrier.
'You little shit!'
As soon as the man raises his hand, Cain turns around in an instant and brushes the man off his feet. Then he holds his right fist out in front of the fallen man's face.
'Do you still want to play ...?'
The adventurers who didn't understand why they had rolled over were taken aback by Cain's words.
And of course, the adventurers who were in the mood to be onlookers.
He then pulled out a guild card from his pocket and placed it on the counter.
The boy in front of me still looked like a child, but the card that was presented to me was shining gold (gold).
'What, eh, A-rank! I beg your pardon.
As expected, the receptionist couldn't hide her surprise. The receptionist's voice echoed throughout the hall, as the hall was silent.
The adventurers and onlookers who were involved with Cain were equally surprised.
Cain sighed at the revelation that he was A-ranked.
While listening to the adventurers around him discussing in low voices, Cain spoke to the receptionist.
'It doesn't matter if the price is a little high. Just give me a place with a good bath and food.''
Ha, ha, ha! One moment. I'll have the information for you in a moment.
The receptionist, who suddenly became distant, hurriedly got up from her seat and went to get the documents.
She immediately prepared the information for me and began to explain.
If you are A-ranked, we recommend the inn here .... There is an open-air bath, and the food is well-received. If you present your guild card, I believe you can get a discount.
Yeah, right there.
Cain left the guild early, feeling the stares he received from those around him as he received the guide map.
'Why do you get involved with kids like this when you drink: ...
The inn we were introduced to was located a short distance from the guild, and we walked around the city scavenging for things to do.
Then, just before the inn where he was introduced, Cain entered an alleyway.
Yes, because several people were following him from behind.
When the following people entered the alley, Cain turned around and smiled.
'What can I do for you?'
Not surprised, the adventurers stopped and drew their swords as they smiled at him.
There were five of them, including the warrior-like man who had just been rolled over.
''You say the kid has an A-rank? You've got to be kidding me. You cheated, or someone gave you a handout, right? And how dare you embarrass me earlier?
'This kid was going to stay at a nice inn, so you've got plenty of it, right? Get it out of here. I'll forgive you for killing me half to death if you do.
The five of them approach, snickering and laughing.
Cain's desire to take an open-air bath at the inn as soon as possible drove him to get a quick fix.
The other man had already drawn his sword and had no intention of relenting.
In an instant, he was in the bosom of one of the men and plunged his fist into his stomach. It's because as Cain, who has such an overwhelming status that he seems to be a bug, he can move at a speed that normal people can't see.
''Guho.''
One person was hit by Cain and blown up to the main street.
People suddenly ran out of the alleyway and a commotion began to break out on the main street.
'Okay, next!'
Cain said and gave the next man a spinning kick.
"Guffaw,
He threw out all but the man who had tangled with him in the guild on the main street one by one.
'And you're the only one left: ...
The man, shaken by Cain's overwhelming strength, slashes at him with the sword in his hand. With an eye on Cain's head.
The moment he thought it reached his head, Cain stopped the sword between his forefinger and middle finger.
'You think you can do me with something like this?'
With that word, the man throws his sword out and backs away, falling on his ass.
''Ba, bakemono...''
'You get involved with these kids and you're a buckethead and .... It's awful, isn't it?
Cain fell on his ass and kicked him in the face at just the right height. And the man blows up to the main street too.
'Totally. There's a hot spring waiting for you. ...
I whined a little and went back to the main street.
I went back through the alley and back to the main street and was about to head to the inn when I was approached.
'It's you there! You did this to these men, didn't you?
I turn around and a guard comes up to me.
''These guys followed me from the guild and asked me to give them money, and then finally slashed at me with their swords? It's self-defense. You'll have to talk to them.
Cain was about to explain in one swooping breath, out of a desire to get into the hot springs as quickly as possible, and was about to head to the hot springs inn when more reinforcements arrived.
From now on, it wasn't the guards, but five knights. One of them, dressed in luxurious armor, stepped forward. He was a young man who was only just coming of age and had short, light purple hair.
After hearing about the situation from the guards, he approaches Cain.
'My name is Delita von Santana. I don't care what the situation is, I can't allow you to assault me in this city. You must follow me once.
He could have run away as it was, but the mention of the name 'Santana' caused Cain to nod honestly.
(He's definitely a member of Silk's family. ...)
Delita was pleased that Cain had expressed his willingness to obey Delita's words.
'Mm. It helps to hear that. 'Hey, carry those guys lying there! I'm taking these guys with me.
Under Delita's command, the guards carried the rolling, unconscious adventurers away.
'Then you must follow me. I won't do you any harm. But you'll have to follow both sides, though.
The knights stand on either side of Cain and walk away, with Delita leading the way.
(Can I have a spa bath? ...)
The only thing on Cain's mind was the hot springs already.
And a few hours later, Cain was in prison.
