Hey.

Oh, Vice Captain Daim.

It's good to see you again.

It has been a while.

Prime Minister Magna advised me to leave some monster materials here.

Yes, I've been informed.

Let's see...

A place for you to put your materials...

This should do for now.

Um, I'm very sorry,

but this room won't be big enough.

What?! You have that many?

Are they all like the red dragon you have in your mansion?!

Oh, no, there's nothing quite that impressive.

Just an earth dragon.

An e-earth dragon?!

The one a whole party of A-rank adventurers can barely take down?

That earth dragon?!

I don't know much about it... but it's a big one!

Well, in that case...

Could you leave it here for now?

The knights will carry it somewhere else later.

All right.

Here it comes.

What is all this?!

This is all of them.

C-Cain... You are simply...

Sorry, but...

could you take all of these for me?

But the truth is... I have more than just A-rank monsters.

I have S-rank ones, too.

That's because my status is off the charts...

But that's a secret to everyone!

The Aristocrat's Otherworldly Adventure: Serving Gods Who Go Too Far

"A Date with the Strongest Captain of the Knights"

"A Date with the Strongest Captain of the Knights"

U-Unbelievable...

You're telling me you killed all of these by yourself?

Cain...

Are you a hero?

Or perhaps a disciple of the gods?

No, no! I'm just the son of Margrave Garm!

Hmm... Well, I suppose I won't probe too deeply.

I'd appreciate that.

Very well.

It'll take a bit of time to appraise this many. Is that all right?

Sure. Just let me know when it's done and I'll come right over.

Well, then...

Whoa, there.

It's still early.

Mind helping out with the knights' training?

I'd like you to meet our captain, too.

C-Captain?

Yeah. Our captain loves strong folks.

I'd love to show off what you can do. Okay?

Okay?

Okay.

And then...

Wait a minute!

This is the hero, Baron Cain.

As I'm sure you all know,

this is the Baron Cain who annihilated thirty orcs and saved the princess.

Pleased to meet you all.

Um, where's the captain?

The captain will be here soon.

As soon as the mock battle begins, I'll bet.

Our captain does love a good battle, after all.

Oh, no! It's gonna be someone super scary, isn't it?!

Don't worry. The captain's not gonna eat you or anything...

Probably.

What?

All right, let the mock battle begin!

U-Um... May I?

He genuinely looks like a child.

And he's only ten, right?

Should the Royal Chivalric Order really fight him?

If you're worried, you can go first.

Cain,

I will grant you the first move.

Come at me with what you've got.

Very well! In that case... Boost!

I am defeated.

I won! Crap!

Thank you very much...

Wait, Cain!

That was even better than I expected.

Why don't you take on thirty... no, all of them next?

And now...

Hold it!

Hold it, hold it, hold it!

What is going on here?!

Why is an entire order of knights pointing their swords at a child?

Have you no pride as royal knights?!

Are you okay?

You must have been so frightened with all these scary people around you.

But I'm here now, so you'll be just fine.

You must be a lost child who wandered in here.

Ooh! An elf!

Daim! You were here with him!

Why didn't you stop them?

If I may, Captain...

Captain?!

This is the boy who annihilated thirty orcs and saved Princess Telestia...

The hero, Baron Cain.

What? This child did that?

I see...

I see!

So you are the one who annihilated thirty orcs...

The hero, Baron Cain!

In that case, you must fight a duel with me!

Wait, I'm sure I just heard "duel" instead of "mock battle"...

Captain, perhaps you should introduce yourself first?

No! We who fight with the sword speak with the sword!

Oh, boy. There's the captain's bad habit again.

She does hold the title of Master Swordsperson.

I doubt even Baron Cain can handle her.

Um, I can hear you. What's this "Master Swordsperson" thing?

Baron Cain, let us duel!

W-Wait a second! The only weapon I have is a wooden sword!

Not a problem! I've dulled my blade!

Looks like I'll be able to fully enjoy this now!

Boost!

Wow... Baron Cain is giving the captain a run for her money.

And he's moving even faster than before.

Unbelievable.

Clock Up!

This duel is over,

Captain.

I've decided.

Huh?

I am...

I am going to marry you!

What?!

What?! The captain?!

Y-You're suddenly bringing up marriage?! I'm only ten years old!

And I don't know anything about you!

That's a good point.

Then, I'll introduce myself.

My name is Tijuana von Liebert.

I am the captain of the Royal Chivalric Order of Esfort.

I hold the title of honorary viscount.

I am the daughter of Duke Liebert, who oversees the northern forest.

And you needn't worry about the age difference!

Since I'm an elf, I'll live at least 300 years!

That means my looks won't be changing for a long time!

That's not the issue...

Despite how I may seem, I'm quite confident in my looks.

But still...

I don't think a duke's daughter can make decisions on her marriage

at her own discretion!

No need to worry about that!

Huh?

When I left home,

I said I wouldn't return until I found a marriage partner, so it'll be fine!

It may be fine for you, but not for me!

I have to consult with my father and lots of other people!

Vice Captain Daim!

How are you asleep?!

Yes, indeed...

It's true that I can't make the decision on my own.

Thank you, Captain Tijuana!

I'm glad you understand—

Daim.

Ma'am.

I'll speak with the king first.

Arrange an audience at once.

Wait, that's the worst thing that could happen!

Letting the king hear about this is the last thing I need!

Daim.

Ma'am.

Bring him.

N-No! I don't want this!

Captain Tijuana! Anything but that!

Cain, I was told you've come here on urgent business,

but why are you here?

Didn't you go to the knights' station to drop off some monster materials?

Your Majesty! I have decided that Baron Cain and I...

will get married! Yes!

Married?!

How did that happen?!

Cain, explain from the beginning!

The truth is...

I had a mock battle with her and won,

and it led to this.

Cain! Haven't you told her about Teles and Miss Silk yet?!

That matter was supposed to be confidential,

so not yet.

Cain, do you even realize the position Captain Tijuana holds?

No, only that she's the captain of the knights.

I thought so.

The Liebert territory that she comes from

was originally an elf nation.

Elves are all beautiful, as you know.

For that reason, they were often dragged into wars by those

who wanted to kidnap or enslave them.

But here in the Kingdom of Esfort,

per the dying wish of the first king, Yuuya Terra Hirasawa Esfort,

there is no discrimination based on race.

That's why we took their land under our protection as a territory of the kingdom.

The Liebert territory is self-governed,

and differs little from an independent nation.

In other words, Tijuana is essentially a princess,

and you've received a marriage proposal from said princess.

Do you understand what that means?

Tijuana, this is still confidential, but I'll inform you.

Cain here is already engaged to my daughter Telestia

as well as Duke Eric's daughter, Miss Silk.

So that means Baron Cain

is extraordinary enough to have been recognized

by both Your Majesty and Duke Eric.

I understand.

I'm glad you understand, Tijuana.

I am sorry, but—

Well...

That just makes me want to marry Baron Cain all the more!

The desire grows stronger... and stronger!

Why is that what it leads to?

All right. I acknowledge your feelings.

But first, you need to write a letter to your father, Laysan.

We'll talk only after you earn his permission.

Understood!

In that case, Your Majesty, I'll take my leave now!

Let's go, Cain!

G-Go where?

To the battle arena, to further deepen our love and write that letter!

Huh?

And now, we'll be on our way!

I can't believe he even defeated Tijuana.

She's the kingdom's strongest knight!

Perhaps the captain was under the weather?

No, that's not the case at all.

Yes, to be so strong at the age of ten...

How in the world is he so powerful?

Garm, he's your son. What is the story?

I'm afraid I don't know, either.

Apparently, he killed the red dragon in his mansion by himself, too.

Now that you mention it...

When I asked him if he was a hero or a disciple of the gods,

he did react for a brief moment.

So there really is something to him.

There is a way to test him...

By showing him that.

"That"?

Oh, that!

Cain!

Cain.

Don't worry. It's just me today.

Vice Captain Daim...

You look exhausted.

Can you blame me?

I've had to go on "dates" with her every single day since then.

And Tijuana never lets me go until my endurance has reached its limit.

Your mock battles have reached a level that none of us can even touch.

But thanks to you, our captain has gotten even stronger.

Actually, while I was having mock battles with Tijuana,

the title of "Master Swordsperson" was added to my status.

Um... Has Tijuana always been like that?

Yes, and she leaves all the knight business to me.

I figured.

Cain! Where are you, Cain?

Oh, crap!

What?

Let's hurry. His Majesty wants to see you.

Wh-Why?! Did I do something again?!

Cain! Let us show our love for one another until our bodies give out!

I've been really careful not to make him angry!

Um...

Why are all of you here?

Cain, why are you making that face?

Oh... No reason.

I've called you here today because I want to show you something.

Magna.

Yes, sire. Look at this, Cain.

This is an emperor-level magic text that is passed down in the royal family.

Huh?!

It's said that the first king, Yuuya Terra Hirasawa Esfort, wrote it.

Wow... An emperor-level magic text!

You mean I can look at this?

Yes, you may.

Thank you!

Even the magic texts in the palace mages' library only went up to mega-level!

This is a spell I've never seen before!

Wow! So there really is an even higher level!

I thought so.

What is it?

Cain, that text...

is one that none of us can read.

Do you know why that is?

Stars' Judgment

That's right.

Because it was written by our first king...

in a language called "Japanese."

That's right.

The first king's name was Yuuya Terra Hirasawa.

That's obviously a Japanese person's name.

He was probably reincarnated, like me.

We know it's emperor-level magic because it's handed down as such,

but there's no one here who can read it.

Cain, I ask you once more...

Just who are you?

I can't hide it anymore.

When they find out I was reincarnated, will I lose everything?

No... But surely these people would...

I'll tell you the truth,

but can you promise that only those present right now will ever know?

If you can't understand,

I'll have to leave this kingdom.

Very well.

I have my memories from my previous life.

Memories of a different land, the one your first king came from...

Memories of a nation called Japan.

Wha—

Cain...

I'm sorry I never told you.

So that's why...

Cain, are you truly Sarah's and my son?

Yes, there's no doubt about that.

The gods told me so when I was baptized at age five.

Y-You met the gods?!

Yes.

At my baptism, and when I go to church.

I meet with the seven gods often.

What?! All seven of them?!

Yes.

Cain, would you show us your status?

Status Open.

Cain! Is what's written here true?!

Yes, it's completely true.

These are my real titles.

Whatever are we going to do with you?

Why didn't you tell us the truth?

With that title, in addition to myself...

Every single citizen of this kingdom— no, of this world—must bow to you!

That's just how high the title of God's Chosen is!

Wait a minute! That's not what I want!

It's true that I have my memories of my previous life,

but I'm content with the life I have now!

I understood nothing when I reincarnated in this world,

but my mother, father, and many other people were kind to me.

The experiences I've had using magic and fighting monsters on my adventures

were so exciting.

Meeting Teles, Silk, and all of you,

and being named a baron, an honor far greater than I deserve...

In my previous world, I had lost my parents and grandfather,

and I was all alone.

But now, I'm blessed with a wonderful circle of family and friends,

and I live a happy life!

Father, I am truly grateful that I became a son of Garm!

Cain...

Your Majesty, I apologize for hiding all this from you,

but could I ask you to please treat me the same way you always have?

Your Majesty, I...

Very well.

Cain, this kingdom recognizes you as Garm's son,

Baron Cain von Silford, just as it has up until now.

However, Cain...

Maybe you should be the king instead?

Your Majesty!

H-Hey!

My dear husband!

I found you, my dear husband!

Your Majesty, I just received this from my father!

He has granted me permission to marry Baron Cain!

Congratulations!

Well, Your Majesty, I'm in a hurry, so I'll be off!

My dear husband!

She took him away again today...

Your Majesty...

The way Cain was acting just now, I don't think you need to worry.

Cain will always just be Cain.

You're right.

He certainly doesn't look like a divine child.

No one is permitted to speak of this matter outside this chamber.

You must tell no one, not even your families.

Understand?

Yes, sire!

Cain...

Just look at how strong you are.

Please protect this country, your family,

Teles and Silk,

and all the citizens who seek your aid.

Cain!

Master Cain!

Cain!

How did you end up engaged to Captain Tijuana?!

I'm sorry.

I fought a mock battle with the Chivalric Order, and that's how it ended.

How many fiancées will you have by the time you reach adulthood?

Though I'm having fun, so I don't mind.

Well, I mind!

Please stop indiscriminately accepting more fiancées!

My dear husband! There you are!

Let's share our love lots and lots again today!

What does "share our love" mean?!

Cain!

Master Cain!

I-It's not like that! Hear me out, Teles, Silk!

She just means we'll have another mock battle!

No! You'll get me in trouble again!

My dear husband, I won't let you go today!

Master Cain!

Cain!

Help me!

Not until morning!

My dear husband!
