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

Man, I'm hungry.

Guess I'll need to figure that out from here on out.

Hey!

Little bitches!

Run! Now!

Got ya now.

I'll kill the both of you!

Time to show some spine!

Go on! Run while I keep him!

Huh?

Hey!

Are you okay?

Are you--

Thank goodness.

They're safe now.

But sounds like I made them cry.

Man.

So what?

Do I just lay here and die?

I don't recognize this ceiling.

Is this a hospital?

I know I helped some people,

but is a fancy private room like this really necessary? Huh?

Huh?!

Awww!

Master Cain!

-- "Cain"? -- Cain!

Do you recognize your mother?

Huh? I think you've got the wrong...

Master Cain!

Who is that?

Huh?

Are you all right?

Absolutely not!

Who is that?

What the hell is going on?!

Closed. Open.

Closed. Open.

Are you all right, Cain?

Do you remember who you are?

Don't worry.

He's probably just confused, madam.

He has been asleep for a week, after all.

Yes, that's a good point.

Your fever's definitely gone down,

but you should rest a bit more.

Oh, that's right!

You must be starving.

A little bit of soup, and you'll be as good as new!

Sylvia.

Of course!

I'll bring some right away!

Now you just rest until it gets here 'kay.

Excuse me!

Who were those two?

Sylvia and my mother?

Why do I look like that?

Wait! Is this some light-novel reincarnation thing?

So that means

I didn't survive the injury, did I?

But, I did save those girls at least.

Hm. Well, what's done is done!

If I have been reincarnated,

I need to know what I'm dealing with here.

I'm not gonna let any weird in-world shenanigans

get the best of me!

Master Cain, your soup is...

Hmmm...

Master Cain!

Did you wet the bed?

In that case up and down!

I know! It's okay!

Nobody's angry!

But my...

Gotta stay strong.

Just block it out.

Yummy, isn't it?

Yeah!

Your sense of taste is coming back.

She's right. It's a bit weak,

but I can tell there was meat and vegetables in there.

Ahhh!

It's so good!

Wonderful! I'm glad to see you eating so well, young master.

All right, then.

Pat, pat, pat. Pat, pat, pat.

Hey! What's that for?

I know. I know.

But we've gotta burp you before bed.

You're trying to burp me?

Just how old am I?

There, it's okay.

I'm all right, I swear!

Sheesh.

Not sure how I feel about her trying to put me down for a nap,

but she certainly gave me a lot of answers.

First of all, my name is Cain von Silford,

and I'm three years old.

My father is Garm, and my mother is Sarah.

I have a sister named Reine who's two years older than me.

Sarah is Garm's second wife.

The name of his first wife is Maria.

There's also Djinn and Alec, the two sons she had with my father.

That makes me Cain, Garm's third and youngest son.

Garm is a high-ranking noble.

A margrave with his very own army.

It's his responsibility

to protect the realm's borders against foreign invaders.

And to the south of Gracia,

the part of the Kingdom of Esfort that Lord Garm oversees

is the Forest of Monsters.

Really? There're monsters?

Yes, but you don't need to worry.

The adventurers.

Oh, wow! Adventurers, too?

That's right. They defeat the monsters for us.

Do they fight with swords and magic?

Of course! Some of them specialize in magic!

No way! That's so cool!

Oh, man, I wanna try using magic, too!

That may take a little while!

So maybe try learning how to write first, okay?

'Kay!

When I heard this world had magic,

I made up my mind to live my life here!

You see, in the world I left behind,

my last living relative, my grandpa, had just died,

and I was living alone.

There was nothing left for me to go back to.

What? Cain's able to write?

Yeah, and that's not all!

He can already do math, and other stuff, too!

That's fantastic!

It's not like I can tell him this tiny body

has the mind of a high schooler in it!

Perhaps our little boy is secretly a genius, darling!

No! Really! It's just that Sylvia's so good at teaching!

Ahh! M-M-Master Cain.

But why the sudden interest in studying?

You have seemed a little different since the fever.

A divine revelation, perhaps?

Is everything all right?

Do you want some baby food?

Some of mother's milk, maybe?

I'm not hungry!

I want to learn as much as possible,

so I can make my way in the world, that's all!

Respectable and wise, too.

I have three sons and only one estate.

So, you will have to make your own path in life.

Then, if you'd allow it,

I'd like to start reading books on magic

and the kingdom's history, too!

Go right ahead.

Really? You're interested in magic, Cain?

Huh?

I don't think you're quite ready to use it yet.

You have to be baptized first, like me!

Baptized, huh?

Yep!

That's right.

You'll need to wait until you turn five,

but you can begin by reading the basics.

Okay!

And remember, magic takes time.

I guess that's true.

Nope! I got it!

Something wrong?

Just talking to myself!

Hmm... Okay.

Oh, wow. That was magic, wasn't it?

How come I can use it?

Doesn't matter!

It's a light-novel fan's dream come true!

'Kay, let's try this again.

With a little less...

Something wrong this time?

Ah! Nope! Everything's still fine.

Ohhhh, okay!

I was just studying this myself!

Ah! Reine! When did you even get in here?

I know.

Don't deny it.

Deny what?

You're secretly trying to learn about the outside world, right?

Well, sister can teach you a thing or two.

She had me going there for a second!

After that, my sister Reine stopped by my room every day

to teach me about the Kingdom of Esfort.

I learned about its 300-year long history.

Apparently, the first king started out as an adventurer

before going on to found a kingdom.

His name was--

Yuuya.

She taught me that and all sorts of other things.

Wait, that guy's Japanese, isn't he?

I learned of the races.

Elves, dwarves, and even beastfolk

all living together in this new world.

Also, things that are really fluffy, too!
