Cain walked through the city, heading towards the adventurers’ guild.

It was daytime, so the adventurers’ guild was quite quiet.

Adventurers usually completed requests during the day, so the guild was only crowded in the mornings and evenings.

Cain found Letia and called out to her over the counter.

“Hello, Letia-san. Could I go meet with Eden?”

Letia noticed Cain and smiles back.

“Hello, Cain-sama. I’ll go confirm whether the guild master is in the office today.”

Letia said a few words to the receptionist lady who had been sitting next to her, and disappeared into the back of the guild.

As he was waiting, Cain looked over the requests on the request board. This was the royal capital, so there were more escort requests than subjugation ones.

As he was searching for a subjugation request, Letia came to pick him up.

“Cain-sama, the guild master will meet with you. This way please.”

He was guided by Letia to Eden’s office.

She knocked, and when Eden’s voice could be heard from the other side of the door, they entered inside.

“Cain-kun, what do you need today?”

Cain sat down on a sofa and explained everything that had happened up until the day before.

As the story progressed, Eden’s forehead wrinkled more and more, and his hands clenched in anger.

“Cain-kun, I’m really sorry. I didn’t think the situation was that bad. I know Rikisetsu’s a muscle-brain, but he has a straight personality. So I thought that if he had a competent sub guild master, it would be fine, but to think that that sub guild master was breaking the law…”

“So I came to consult you about whether you could send us someone outstanding to help rebuild the guild.”

Cain didn’t hate Rikisetsu. He had a straightforward personality, so if he had an excellent assistant, it would be fine.

“Got it. I’ll arrange for someone from the royal capital’s guild to go. I’ll accompany you as well. As the headquarters’ guild master, I can’t accept something like this happening. I’ll go as soon as everything’s ready today.”

Eden’s face was serious. He was really angry.

“Eden-san, is it okay for you to leave the royal capital?”

The guild master in the royal capital was the head of all adventurers in the country. If such a person went to Drintor, they would have to leave the royal capital for multiple days.

Cain decided to reveal a secret to Eden. He was his future brother-in-law after all, and he was also trustworthy.

“Eden-san, I have an idea, however, please keep it a secret.”

“Well it’s something my brother-in-law asked of me, so I promise to do so.”

Having gotten Eden’s assent to keep it a secret, Cain nodded.

“Well, you see– –”

Cain explained that he could go to Drintor in an instant by using transfer magic.

“I’m grateful. But still, to be able to use transfer magic, something only spoken of in legends. Then, we can get to Drintor today. If possible, could you also bring the new sub guild master with us? I’ll make sure they don’t speak a word of it.”

“Understood. Then, as soon as you’ve finished selecting someone.”

“Could you come pick us up in two hours? I’ll have someone prepared by then.”

Finally, Cain shook hands with Eden and left the office.

He had nothing else to do, so he decided to go back to the mansion again.

When he opened the door and went inside, Koran and Silvia were standing there with apologetic expressions.

“Cain-sama, I-I’m sorry for earlier. To think you heard that.”

“Cain-sama, I’m terribly sorry.”

The two of them bowed deeply and apologised.

“Wh-? I don’t really mind. You’re the right age, and if it’s you two it’s fine. But right now I’ve got some important stuff to do as the lord, so please wait just a bit.”

They were both relieved to see that Cain was not angry.

Silvia was a very special maid to Cain, having taken care of him since shortly after he was born.

That’s why Koran was relieved when he thought he might be dismissed for revealing his feelings.

“I’ll tell you two when it’s a good time to marry. I want to celebrate too, after all.”

Cain said that, making both their faces turn completely red.

Cain sat at his desk in his office and looked over documents in need of settlement.

As expected of Koran, the documents were well organized and he stamped them one after another without any problems.

After stamping all the documents, he leaned back in his chair, raised his arms and stretched his body.

“It’s fiiinally over. I guess it’s about time to head back to the guild, too.”

He gathered up the documents he had settled and placed them in the ‘done’ box.

Cain stood up, stretched again, and left the office.

He told Koran and Silvia that he would stay at Drintor for the night after heading to the guild.

He left the mansion and walked through the noble district. By the time he reached the adventurers’ guild, it was dusk.

When he entered the guild, for some reason, Letia was waiting for him in the hall, looking unhappy.

“Cain-sama we have been waiting for you. The guild master too.”

Guided by Letia, they headed to Eden’s office. Letia remained silent, unlike usual.

She knocked, and after checking, she opened the door.

Cain sat on the sofa opposite Eden. And for some reason Letia sat down next to Eden.

There was a lot of luggage next to the sofa, too.

“I’m thinking of having Letia go to Drintor. You need quite a lot of work experience to become a sub guild master. But because Letia is the chief of the royal capital’s guild, I doubt it’ll be a problem.”

“Once again, I’m Letia. I’ll be transferring to be the Drintor adventurers’ guild’s sub guild master from the royal capital’s guild headquarters. Yes, it’s because I’m single and live in the dorms. So I can easily go anywhere.”

Letia greeted Cain with self-deprecation, then turned to the side and looked at Eden with a prickly gaze.

It looks like Eden chose someone who wouldn’t have a problem with being transferred. Still, Cain was surprised to learn that Letia had been the chief.

“It’s reassuring to know that you’ll be Drintor’s sub guild master, Letia-san. I know you, so it’ll be easy to talk to you. Nice to meet you, Letia-san.”

“Cain-sama, nice to meet you. I will do my best.”

Her facial expression finally softened a little.

“Cain-kun, we’re ready. I’d like to go as soon as possible.”

“Then, let’s go, shall we? Letia-san, I’ll take your luggage.”

Cain put Letia’s luggage in his Item Box.

“Cain-sama has an Item Box…”

He told them to move closer to him, letting Letia’s murmurs pass.

He placed his hand on both of their shoulders and cast magic.

“Well then, we’re going.” [Transfer]

In an instant, their vision changed and they found themselves near the gates of Drintor.

As this was the first time they’d transferred, the other two were surprised.

“So this is that transfer magic from the legends…”

“It truly is instantaneous. Up until now, how long did it usually take by carriage?”

“Hey, you two, let’s go.”

They headed towards the gate, Cain leading the way.

Cain called out to the guards at the gate.

“Thank you for your hard work. Could we go through?”

The guard, who knew Cain was the lord, responded nervously.

“Well, lord-sama, but the two people behind you…”

“The two behind me are Eden, the guild master of the royal capital, and Letia, a guild employee.”

The two of them presented their IDs. Obviously, their guild cards. When magic power was poured into a guild employee’s guild card, it would show that they were an employee alongside their name and other information.

“All right, I’ve confirmed them. Welcome to Drintor.”

The guard who had confirmed the ID cards bowed politely.

The three people passed him by and entered the town.

Seeing the townscape, the other two were impressed, as it was more bustling than they had expected.

“It truly is a town of adventurers, quite lively.”

“I too, had thought it would be worse.”

Guiding the two around the town, they finally arrived at the adventurers’ guild.

“This town’s adventurers’ guild’s main hall truly is splendid. As expected, as lot of people are registered here.”

Eden muttered while looking at the exterior of the building.

Going inside, even though it was the evening, the place was jam packed with adventurers. The bar in the back was also obviously crowded.

When the door opened, all the adventurers’ gazes gathered on Cain.

Among them, there were plenty who had been drinking in the stands the other day at the training ground, and when they saw Cain’s face, they backed away, almost crouching.

On the other hand, adventurers who didn’t know about what had happened, pointed their fingers at them, laughing.

And then there were also adventurers who were inspecting them. To people who didn’t know anything they looked like a party of a child, an elf, and a beautiful woman.

In that manner, the three of them went inside and called over the counter.

Responding to them was Aura, with whom Cain had spoken before.

“Sorry, we’d like to meet with the guild master.”

“Yes. You’re Cain-sama right? I’ll go tell the guild master immediately.”

Cain was surprised that she’d answered without him even having to give his name.

Aura, to whom he’d called out, disappeared into the back of the guild with a smile. The other receptionists watched her with faces full of regret.

After a bit of a wait, Rikisetsu, the guild master came out from the back of the guild in an enormous hurry.

“If it isn’t Cain-sama! Sorry for making you wai––”

Standing next to Cain was, of course, Eden. Seeing Eden, Rikisetsu froze.

“Su-su-supervision!?”

“Yo, Rikisetsu-dono. Long time no see, eh? We came to talk about various things.”

At Eden’s arrival, Rikisetsu froze, standing upright.

Even the former S-Rank adventurer Rikisetsu couldn’t stand up to Eden.

The adventurers and receptionists around them were surprised to see how upset Rikisetsu was, and their gazes gathered in one place.

“Why did Eden-sama, the royal capital’s guild supervisor, come to Drintor!?”

“Because brother-in-law Cain asked me to, of course.”

“I’ll take you to the reception room. This way please.”

Rikisetsu adressed the smiling Eden more than Cain, sweating.

Once the four people had disappeared into the back of the guild, the surrounding people started raising a commotion.

“What’s up with those guys!? To make that demon Rikisetsu so nervous…”

“Just who the heck is that brat!?”

“He’s the devil. That kid was the one who destroyed the training ground. He’s the ‘Silver Devil’.”

““““Seriously!?””””

The receptionists, on the other hand, started talking about Eden and Cain, not Rikisetsu.

“Th-that was… Eden-sama, the royal capital’s guild supervisor. I’ve only ever seen him once, in the royal capital. And the one behind them was the chief of the royal capital’s guild, Letia-san. To be together with such people…”

““““Just who is Cain-sama!?””””

Without Cain and the others there, the conversation within the guild became more and more lively.

And it was then that Cain was given a second name, without even knowing it.
