"To the one reading this:"

"The fact that you can read this text written in Japanese means..."

...that you have also come here from the other world.

My name is Yuuya Terra Hirasawa Esfort.

I am this nation's first king, and I am Japanese.

So it's true!

I have decided to write my account of how I came to this world.

I was involved in an accident in Japan and thought I had died,

but I was summoned to this world.

So unlike me, he came here in his original form?

Master Cain!

Cain!

What are you doing?

Teles... Silk...

Oh, I know!

The academy entrance exams are coming up, so you're studying!

Is that right?

Huh?

Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Maybe I'll study with you.

I want to study with him, too!

Sorry! I don't have time to hang out with you two today!

I have things to do...

Tomorrow, then?

Tomorrow's even worse!

But why?

Sorry... Sorry...

Some other time!

Master Cain, wait!

When is "some other time"?!

My dear husband!

Ti...

Tijuana!

Perfect timing! Want to have a mock battle outside the capital tomorrow?

Tomorrow?!

Do you have plans or something?

Sorry! Some other time!

Dear husband! When is "some other time"?!

Sorry! Sorry, everyone!

Today is a very important day for me.

It's my twelfth birthday!

The day I finally get to register as an adventurer!

Ever since I was little,

I've been training with tutors so I could be an adventurer someday.

I reincarnated here as a noble...

But that's a secret to everyone!

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

"Cain, the Rookie Adventurer"

"Cain, the Rookie Adventurer"

I knew the royal capital's guild would be amazing!

It's so big and exciting!

What's up, kid? First time here?

Yes! I've finally turned twelve,

so I'm here to register as an adventurer!

Yeah? Well, just remember, you've only got one life.

Don't do anything too crazy.

I feel like I've seen that red hair before...

Welcome to the Royal Capital Guild Headquarters.

You're here to register as an adventurer?

Yes!

Please fill in the required fields on this form.

Let's see... My name is Cain...

Wait, should I write the "baron" part?

That doesn't have anything to do with being an adventurer, though.

Just "Cain" should be enough.

Does that look okay?

Yes, looks good.

Now I'll need you to place a drop of your blood on this crystal.

My blood?

Yes, it will register your magic capacity on your guild card.

You'll start at G-rank.

Come to think of it...

My instructors said they were D-rank, didn't they?

I wonder what they're up to now.

If anything is unclear to you, feel free to ask questions at any time.

Thank you, ma'am!

Oh, I'm sorry! My name is Retia.

It's nice to meet you, Sir Cain.

There's no need for "Sir." I'm only twelve.

Just my name, please.

I see. Well, then, I wish you luck, Cain.

Oh, but remember that your life is valuable.

I will!

Hey, Retia!

Ditch the brat and come hang out with us.

We'll keep you company all through the night.

This again?

What's this? Be a good little kid and stay home helping your mommy!

He dodged that like a real man!

Looks like this kid needs some education!

What the hell are you doing?!

That's what I should be asking you.

Get him!

Keep still, damn it!

Wait!

If you draw that...

Hey, you guys. What're you doing to a little kid?

The red-haired guy from earlier!

Th-The guy from Ice Flame...

Claude!

If you wanna fight someone that bad...

I'll fight you. All through the night.

Let's go! Better remember our faces, brat!

What a cliché.

Thank you so much, Sir Claude!

I appreciate your helping me out.

Don't worry about it. I stopped them for their own good.

I can tell from the way you moved that you're pretty strong.

What's your name?

Cain. My name is Cain.

Cain, huh?

I'll remember that.

I like you!

Join me for a drink in return for that great show you put on.

Fruit juice for you, since you're still a kid.

Anyway, you're pretty well-trained, aren't ya?

Your evasive moves were incredibly efficient.

It takes a lot of practice to pull off moves like those.

I've been training since I was very little.

I had tutors who were adventurers.

Huh? Tutors?

Nah, couldn't be. Never mind.

Here's to the promising new adventurer I just met today!

Cheers!

By the way, Claude, that guy earlier said you're with the "Ice Flame."

Yeah, Ice Flame is the name of my party.

I use a flame sword, and my wife uses ice magic,

so the name kinda came naturally.

Wow, you're in a party with your wife?

You should find a trustworthy party to work with as soon as you can.

Then you can take on the big quests,

and your rank will go up quickly.

Like this.

Wow! A gold card!

That means you're A-rank, doesn't it?!

Yeah, but I'm still a far cry from our first king, who was apparently SSS-rank.

It's still amazing!

There's still a long way to go, though!

SSS-rank, huh?

Yep. I hear the SSS-rank card is black.

Of course, gold looks a lot cooler, though!

Ow!

So this is where you've been!

I wondered where you were! Why are you in here drinking?!

This is my wife, Lina. You'll love her.

Don't change the subject!

You just accepted a quest, so let's get on it already!

Um, my name is Cain.

Claude saved me from some guys trying to pick a fight.

Cain, eh? What a cutie!

There are a lot of nasty folks around here,

so if anything happens, you tell me, okay?

I will. Thank you very much.

Yeah, but, Lina, Cain's got some skills, despite how he looks.

If I hadn't stopped him, the floor would be covered in blood.

Excuse me!

Keep drinking, and the floor's gonna be covered in your blood.

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

O-Okay, okay!

See ya later, Cain!

Bye now, Cain.

Ow, ow, ow!

That booze is coming out of your quest payout, you hear?

What?!

Thank you again!

Sure! Find yourself a good quest!

Quests for G-rankers...

Cleaning and cargo transport for a shop, huh?

With magic, that'd be a piece of cake...

But I'd really rather not do that.

I'd prefer one that has to do with defeating monsters...

Getting rid of goblins in the eastern forest?!

And the reward is per goblin defeated, with no upper limit?!

This is it! My first quest...

is right here!

My first quest!

Dear husband!

Tijuana?! Why are you here?

The order is training outside the capital today.

What about you?

I just registered as an adventurer, and I'm going on my first quest!

I see! In that case, I'll go with you!

What?!

But, Captain, we have training—

What wife would miss the start of her husband's new adventure?!

As for the training, you can take charge.

Let's go, my dear husband!

Help me, Vice Captain!

Sorry, Cain. I can't defy the captain.

Oh, come on!

So this is the forest mentioned in the quest...

Alone in the forest with my dear husband...

My heart feels so warm, even the roars of the monsters sound pleasant!

Come! Come!

Doesn't the breeze feel wonderful?

Where are those goblins you need for the quest?

Search!

I'm picking up signs of goblins straight ahead.

Okay! Straight ahead it is!

Wait up!

Chase me down, my dear husband!

How awful.

My Search indicated they'd be around here...

Dear husband, look!

Let's go!

Dear husband!

Heal!

These beasts must be high-ranked.

Leave this to me! I'll make an escape route!

Tijuana!

How'd you like that? My blade is cutting well today!

Tijuana, it's okay.

I'll cover you with my magic!

Thank you! I'm filled with my dear husband's love!

Now you and I are of one body and soul!

Dear husband! I love you!

Be it...

in sickness...

or in health...

I swear to stay by your side!

Now is the time for our first joint task!

This blade is my vow of undying love!

I will be with my dear husband forever!

Time to cut the cake!

Congratulations! Congratulations!

Congratulations, Tijuana!

Dear husband, praise me!

Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations!

Green lizards!

Sheesh... It just never ends.

Tijuana, take that man and run.

But—

Let me handle it this time.

I'll be fine.

All right.

Come on, this way!

Now, then...

Light Ball!

Now's my chance!

Ice Pillar!

What the heck was that?!

My dear husband is just too much today!

Wh-What is this giant hole?!

The intel we got from the guild said the green lizards lived in this area

but there's nothing here. Not a trace of them.

I'm going home.

Wait up!

Nina! Nina!

Oh, Cain. What's the matter?

Um, I defeated some green lizards.

Does it still count if I didn't accept the quest?

What? You defeated green lizards?!

Should I not have?

Well, quests for green lizards are meant for D-rankers if it's a single one,

or C-rank if it's a group of them.

Thank goodness you're all right. You were lucky.

I took out about thirty of them...

What?! Th-Thirty?!

Chief! Chief!

This incredible boy says he defeated thirty green lizards!

What? Green lizards, you say?

Yes!

Bring him in here!

Huh?

I'm Cedric. The guild master is with a visitor, so I'm handling your case.

Tell me honestly, Cain.

Where did you get the green lizards?

Huh?

You're a G-rank who only just registered today.

And you're just a kid! There's no way you could kill a green lizard!

Chief, it's wrong to accuse him of cheating without any evidence!

That's right. I've told you that I just defeated them like normal.

I looked at the registry, and you're just a commoner.

You talk big for a peasant trying to swindle the guild for reward money.

It's unfair for you to just assume that!

Shut up! Cheating must be severely punished!

I'm revoking your guild card!

Chief! That's an abuse of authority!

Shut up!

Cheating will never be tolerated!

My decision won't change! We're done here! Get lost!

Y-You can't...

I finally became an adventurer, and they're revoking it?!

What's all the fuss here?

You're so loud, I can't even hold a conversation.

Guild Master!

I'm sorry, but this brat won't admit he cheated.

I keep telling you, I didn't cheat!

My goodness.

You're...

So how did you come to the conclusion that he cheated?

I mean, c'mon! He claims he killed green lizards on the day he registered!

Thirty of them, no less!

It's obvious there's a scam going on here!

Guild Master?

Why are you laughing?!

Cedric...

You say there's no way a child like this could defeat green lizards?

You've got a lot yet to learn.

Guild Master...

You'd believe a rotten little brat like this over me?!

Rotten...

Hey, come on in.

Tijuana!

The knight captain!

Huh?

My dear husband!

What?! "Husband"?!

I thought so.

Tijuana, don't! Our engagement is still a secret!

Engagement?!

Oops...

Wait, what are you doing here, anyway?!

I actually came back to the guild after that

to talk about countermeasures against goblins and green lizards.

Exactly.

Cain... no...

Baron Cain.

What?! Baron?!

You hadn't heard

about the hero who saved Princess Telestia and Miss Silk?

Th-That was... this kid?!

Yep. Baron Cain.

A baron?! But the registry didn't...

I didn't want to be treated like a noble here,

so I registered as just "Cain."

And Baron Cain is also

a son of Margrave Garm.

H-He's a son of Margrave Garm?!

And if he marries Tijuana,

he'll also be my brother-in-law.

What?! You're Tijuana's brother?!

That's what surprises you the most?

Cedric, would you still call him a rotten little brat?

I guess that would make me a rotten big brother.

Master Cain! I'll be more careful!

Please don't have me charged with insulting a noble!

Tijuana, is insulting a noble a crime?

The law says a commoner who insults nobility can be executed.

E-Execution?! I'd never do anything that horrible!

I accept your apology. Please raise your head.

But please don't make any more unfounded assumptions, okay?

Of course! Never again!

Anyway, will the guild accept my green lizards?

I have about thirty of them.

We'll gladly accept them.

Retia.

Right. We'll put them in the storehouse later,

and then they'll be dealt with.

But for a G-ranked rookie to bring back thirty green lizards...

We can't just leave things as they stand.

To apologize for all this,

I'll raise your rank to C.

What? Really?!

Come now, Brother! C-rank isn't nearly good enough!

My husband defeated a red dragon at the age of ten!

Besides, he's stronger than me!

What?! He's stronger than the captain of the knights?!

Does that make him the strongest in the kingdom?!

Yep, that's right!

Right, my dear husband?

Hmm... No one can attain B-rank without subjugating some bandits,

but I doubt anyone would complain if it was the hero, Baron Cain.

Why don't I just put you at A-rank?

What?! A-rank on his first day?!

Oh, you'll need to subjugate those bandits, though.

Is it okay if I just capture them and bring them in?

Yes, that's fine.

There are other quests the guild will directly assign to you, too,

so you definitely deserve A-rank.

Retia, Cedric, take care of the paperwork.

R-Right!

Baron Cain, as the guild master,

I sincerely apologize for my subordinate's rude behavior.

I'm sorry.

Please, don't apologize. It doesn't matter now.

Thank you.

I was a bit surprised when I heard you were engaged to my sister...

But after finally seeing you today, my mind's been put at ease.

I know my little sister is a bit rambunctious,

but please take care of her.

Come on, Brother! What do you mean, "rambunctious"?

I was only looking for a strong opponent.

I bet you strong-armed him into getting engaged, didn't you?

Please! My dear husband and I have already performed love's first joint task!

That is the symbol of the love between us!

Tijuana! Don't phrase it like that!

You're gonna give your brother the wrong idea!

Don't worry.

I know my sister, and how she calls mock battles "dates," better than anyone.

I'm so glad you're such an understanding older brother!

He never changes, does he?

He's caused another commotion.

I really think giving him level 10 protections was too much.

It's fine. We need him to get even stronger.

Do you have some reason for making him so powerful?

Yes. Aaron's seal will soon be broken.

Aaron?!

If Aaron returns, the world will be in real trouble!

Exactly. He was sealed 300 years ago, but who knows what will happen this time?

In that case, we need him to get much stronger,

or our world will lose all the prosperity it has at long last obtained!

Yes, we must train him even more. But how?

There is someone hidden away who could make a fine master for him.

Ah, yes, the one you speak of would be perfect.

Let's have the child train under him.

Him...

Gold!

Let's finally study together today!

Sure, we can do that, Teles, Silk.

Yay! A study date!

Please teach me lots of things!

There you are, my dear husband!

We had a forest date... so next we'll have a beach date!

Gah!

What is this about a "forest date"?

You turned us down, but went on a date with Tijuana?

Master Cain!

Cain!

You must give us a thorough lesson.

Please do, Instructor Cain.

U-Um, um... Y-You've got it all wrong!

Grovel!

Grovel!
