Cai-Nii, how many tis is it now?
Told you Im sorry. See, thats why youre here with your subordinates, right, and all the drinks are on .
Cain turned around, and he saw Leons subordinates, the mbers of the Royal Knights, drinking and making a ruckus.
Show so restraint, will you Cain muttered under his breath.
Yeah, that part is fine. Those guys are already satisfied just chugging their drinks without working.
Then isnt it fine already?
Im not saying that its a problem that my and my subordinates ti has been wasted on useless errands. We have the duty to remove any threat to the kingdom, after all.
Halts older brother Leon was the commanding officer of the knights that were serving the kingdom. Currently, 30 people were working under him, the youngest person ever to beco the commander.
Cain, Leon and Halts older brother, had the ability to detect all the threats to the Royal Capital using his extre intuition. However, he was also the captain of the imperial guards of this kingdoms monarch, so he couldnt just leave the capital anyti he wanted to.
Because of this, there were several instances until now when Cain would request Leon to remove the nace that had been threatening the Royal Capital.
Even recently, Cain had asked Leon to subjugate monsters nurous tis, but
He would stop Leon even before he could set out with his subordinates in all those tis.
The reason? The target for subjugation had disappeared.
Isnt it kinda terrible that Cai-Niis extre intuition keeps on being a miss?
Leon was worried about Cains slump.
There were many monsters that would go stronger once they were left alone. To think of it in another way, the earlier they subjugate the monsters, the better they would be able to prevent damage, and it would lighten the burden on the people who would go on the subjugation expeditions.
Cains extre intuition could tell him the possible signs that a powerful monster would generate. The kingdom had been saved countless tis thanks to this ability.
And yet, that sa extre intuition skill kept on being a miss, so Leon was worried.
Actually, theres no way my extre intuition missed.
...What do you an by that?
The monsters did appear. However, sobody else already defeated them while were in the middle of discussing my request to you to subjugate them.
Huh? Eh, but you saidwere needed to subjugate that monster, right? Just who the heck would be able to defeat that monster then, huh!?
Leon was strong.
Cain was the strongest among the soldiers of this kingdom.
The next one would be the captain of the Royal Knights.
Leon was the third.
Because of the nature of their work, Cain and the Royal Knights captain couldnt move freely as they wished. Even if the monsters appeared, the chances of them going to the frontlines was zero.
Thats why, Leon was considered as the strongest among the soldiers that could move freely in this kingdom.
And yet, sobody else had already removed the threat even before Leon could make his move.
However, if the entity was unknown, it would also be possible that that entity itself could be a threat.
Cai-Niiyou have an idea who it is, dont you?
...Yeah. But I dont have any proof. My skill is just an intuition, after all.
Got it. Then, if Cai-Nii felt a strong monster coming up, Ill still go to scout the area.
You wont take your subordinates?
Well, I guess so. Itll take too much ti to prepare them for departure, after all. So next ti, Ill just go on my own. I wont be reckless, of course.
Cain didnt want to put his brother in danger, but because he couldnt trust his own skill, he decided to accept Leons suggestion.
Got it. If things dont look good, just run away, okay?
Yeah, thats the plan. By the way, based on Cai-Niis intuition, who is that guy who defeated the strong monster?
HmmmThats
Cains intuition would rarely give him visions.
When he sensed a danger class A monster appear, he saw a vision of an ogre.
And the person who sliced that ogre into a thousand pieces was
Soone Cain knew very well.
Its Halt.
Eh?
Our younger brother, Halt. That guy slayed the monster.
...Halt is just a student at the magical academy, you know? Isnt it impossible for him to defeat monsters around this area that is so close to the Royal Capital
Halt is 15 years old this year.
Y, Yeah, thats right.
Then that ans he can register in the Adventurers Guild.
...So youre telling that Halts defeating monsters that needed to personally intervene in order to get Guild Points because he registered?
Thats the gist of it, I guess. By the way, my extre intuition is telling that that guy is still an E-rank adventurer as of now.
HUH!?
Regardless of this information being half-baked, it didnt stop the doubts that started to flood Leons mind.
Anyway, the next ti I felt a monster appearing, just go. Halt will probably be there. Then just ask the guy himself about a lot of things, will you?
