Chapter 100 Episode 5 To the Royal Capital (1/2)
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. Trans lat ed b y jp m tl.com
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.
Tr a n s la ted b y jpmtl .c om ”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.”

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.
