Hello. I’m Ren, in the carriage on my way home.
How could I say this? Because I overslept, Triela and the others had to wait for me to take a bath and watch me eat alone. We departed in an awkward atmosphere…
Everyone’s gaze was hurting… I tried my best to ignore it.
In addition, the boys were waiting outside the forest because of various reasons.
The carriage travel on the way back was the same as when we came, with the guys in the coachman’s seat and the girls in the carriage. They didn’t have to walk on the snowy road, so it’s still better, right?
The guys got a hangover and became groggy. This was the situation I mentioned earlier. They had a headache, so they didn’t want to move.
Everyone wanted to let loose to celebrate the subjugation of the Lord of Winter and the sizable amount of subjugation reward, so they had a drinking party at the orphanage.
Cain and his gang got ahead of themselves. They drank alcohol and made a ruckus, but they got sick after drinking too much. Serves them right.
I loved alcohol, but I endured myself because I was an adult. They were really stupid. But I’m jealous.
Drinking was allowed from the age of adulthood, fifteen years old. But even if a minor drank it, it was not strictly regulated. The winter in this country was quite cold, so even children were allowed to drink a little so they could raise their body temperature. Even though it was actually counterproductive, though.
Perhaps because of such customs or bad habits, drinking alcohol during seasons other than winter was often overlooked during festivals.
That being said, drinking like a fool would be frowned upon by others, so this was a matter of personal sensibility.
But well, while I understood that they couldn’t resist in that circumstance, I wouldn’t go out of my way to take care of them since they did this to themselves.
Thanks to the various suspensions, my carriage was comfortable to ride. Still, it shook occasionally on this rough road. And every time that happened, the boys groaned, raising a voice of agony. It was somewhat annoying.
… I’ll say this first. If they vomited and dirtied the carriage, I’ll kill them.
Triela and the girls didn’t drink at all, so they were looking at those idiots coldly. By the way, it was Bob who recommended Cain and the boys to drink alcohol. Bob, what are you doing…
I hope that this would make Cain and the boys learn that drinking too much was extremely stupid and would increase unnecessary expenses. Triela, good luck.
Rather, I was surprised that Maricle also drank with them. But then, I guess he would be thrilled that the Lord of Winter was successfully subdued…
In addition, everyone who drank was scolded by the orphanage’s director while they were having a hangover, and ended up in agony… Really, what were they doing…?

During the lunch break, the boys seemed to have gotten better.
Triela and the girls were in charge of the meal on the way back, and I couldn’t interfere. I had overdone it on our way to the town, so they wanted to do things on their own to experience various things. Thanks to that, they scolded me when I tried to help.
They served soup and bread during the day. The soup should work well for a hangover. Good job, Arle.
During lunch break, several of the carriages following behind us finally caught up. However, they were then surprised that we were the ones ahead of them.
Ah, I understood why. Somewhat.
To go on a snowy road, there was a diamond-shaped device on the front of the carriage to push through the snow.
I attached this device to the long handle that connected to the horse, but I improved its performance, turning it into a magic tool.
With multiple attributes, the device could push through the snow quickly. In addition, it could also pave the ground and flatten it.
This made it easier for the horse to move forward, and the wheels of the carriage could be moved without being caught by mud or ruts. The carriage that followed us would have it easier too.
The carriages of the caravans in the first half switched the leading carriages every thirty minutes to one hour since it would burden the horse to push through the snow for a long time. By the way, let’s just say that my carriage always stayed in the middle during the first half.
Well, to be honest, I think they were surprised that children like us drove the leading carriage.
I didn’t want to cause trouble, so we should immediately move once we finished our meal.
Oh, by the way, we passed by some carriages from the royal capital to O’Neill. There was quite a lot of traffic.
There were knights and quite a few adventurers left in O’Neill, so transporting that amount of food wouldn’t be a foolish move.
After that, our journey went smoothly. We camped at a suitable campsite tonight. I didn’t really care since only unpleasant faces would welcome us if we entered a village.
Arle was in charge of cooking, and the boys went to collect firewood. After I made the furnace with earth magic, I had nothing else to do.
Oh, maybe I should build a simple stable with a roof to cover the horse.
I didn’t make this at the beginning, though. You see, my horses were golems. I didn’t have to put up big tents for them.
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(If you are reading this, that means this content is stolen. Please support us by visiting our site.)
But since we started going on the same route with the caravans, I had been making it every time. Seems like golem horses had never existed before… I used magic to build stables so we wouldn’t stand out, but we stood out for different reasons… Yes, we ended up standing out, huh.
I had nothing special to do, so I stared at the bonfire, dazed. Cain approached me for some reason.
“Hey, Ren. Can I talk to you for a while?”
“No.”
I had nothing to say to you. He didn’t say any word on our way to O’Neill. What happened to him now?
“I’ll make this short. Can’t you hear me out?”
“Can’t.”
“……”
I didn’t have time to spend with you. You’re annoying, so could you disappear now? Triela and Maricle talked to me once I ignored him.
“Sorry, Ren. Can you listen to Cain for a moment?”
“I’ll stay with you, so can you listen to him? But I don’t like this either.”
They asked me very apologetically. Well, since they begged me, I could give a bit of my time to this guy… Triela looked unwilling, so it should be Cain’s selfishness and self-righteousness. What a waste of time.

It couldn’t be helped. I moved to the shadow of the carriage and listened to Cain.
“So what?”
“Well, I decided to do my best to save money.”
… His point was, he saw me supporting the orphanage with various things via Triela, so he also wanted to do that.
I supported them by giving them furs, hot water bottles, and money to buy food. Seeing those supplies, Cain thought he could use the money and the supplies he earned from being an adventurer to support the orphanage.
Well… that’s nice. But as long as he was in a party, he knew that the money they earned wasn’t something he could use alone, right?
And now…
“That’s why I thought I’d do my best to earn money and do various things for the orphanage.”
“Haa. Is that so? Then?”
“Eh? I mean, I will do my best from now on.”
“And?”
“Eh? And… Um…”
Even if I knew that, I had nothing to say but “So what?” Just do whatever you want.
“Er… I’ll do my best to save money, then I will buy the management rights of the orphanage…”
“I see. Well, why don’t you do as you wish?”
I didn’t think they would sell it, though. There’s no benefit to the merchant. To be honest, I already had enough money to buy the management rights. However, it’s a different story whether I could buy it even if I had the money. Cain was stupid at this kind of thing… Well, in my case, I was also tied in the contract, making it even harder.
I think Cain could save enough money pretty quickly. But Cain’s mistake was not realizing that saving money and buying management right from the merchant were two different things.
Also, saying this matter to me first was even worse. He should just save the money silently and say that after buying it.
“So you’ll do your best to support the orphanage, save money, and buy the management rights. Then?”
“Eh? Um, well…”
Maybe it’s that. He wanted to show that he had done his best, so he wanted me to accept his apology. But why would he say it first before doing anything? Oath sounds good in the ears, but I could only see it as him putting up appearances. Especially for Cain. It was the same when we were still in the orphanage.
He used to say what he was planning, do it, succeed, and get praised. After knowing his personality, I couldn’t even bother to care.
“No, uh… That’s it…”
“Haa…. You can just do as you wish, right? No need to tell me.”
I sighed loudly. He probably wanted me to cheer him, but I honestly didn’t care.
Actually, I was also thinking about purchasing the management right. In that case, I had to find a credible broker to mediate this negotiation, but finding a credible partner was a problem.
The next thing I was thinking about was working as an adventurer, raising my rank, increasing my credibility, and then reporting the merchant to the royal capital station.
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(Please visit Re:Library to show the translators your appreciation and stop supporting the content thief!)
The station at O’Neill would cover this affair up, and so would the merchant’s base. So I should say it directly in the royal capital.
However, this method was difficult without earning trust. Normally, no matter what a low-ranking adventurer said, they would be brushed off. So I had to be a high-ranking adventurer and gain credibility.
And the last choice was making connections with influential people. Actually, I was doing this right now.
To simply put it, I had to make connections with anyone more powerful than that merchant and have them pass judgment to the merchant. In my case, it was Vector.
At first, he was that annoying fly’s colleague. However, when he hid his identity and requested a sword from the blacksmith, I thought I could use him by earning his favor, so I helped him a lot.
Even if each of them were small favors, he wouldn’t be able to let them pass once it overlapped many times. I gave him a shield and cloak when I forged the magic sword, and I should’ve earned his favor in the Frost Giant’s case.
If I continued to curry favor with him, I might have him get rid of the merchant soon.
However, I realized that he also wanted to make connections with me. When he gave me the Frost Giant’s magic stone, I knew that it would be hard to deal with him.
“That… I just want to say that…”
“Is that so.”
After I said that, Cain dropped his shoulders and walked towards the bonfire, somewhat depressed.
“Ren, can’t you speak gentler to him?” Maricle said with a frown. But I didn’t care about Cain’s feelings.
“To be honest, it doesn’t matter. I also thought a lot about the orphanage. If Cain wants to do it, no one is stopping him, right?”
“What are you planning, Ren?”
Triela also joined in. Hmm… I explained the main points of what I was thinking about.
“Ren also did a lot of things… But then Cain’s efforts will be fruitless, huh.”
“Don’t tell him anything unnecessary.”
I didn’t want to be disturbed, and I didn’t like it if he told me he wanted to do his best with me, so I warned them first.
“Isn’t it better to do it together?”
“I’m saying this because I don’t want to do this together. If we do, he’ll immediately get ahead of himself.”
“……”
In the first place, I didn’t want to be with Cain. When I said that, Maricle was silent. He couldn’t argue with me after looking back at Cain’s past actions.
“Well, I think we can let him do whatever he wants. But there’s also the management of party assets, so be strict about that. Cain said he wants to do it, so he should use his personal assets. You must discuss this with him.”
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(If you are reading this, that means this content is stolen. Please support us by visiting our site.)
If they weren’t strict about this, I’m sure that idiot would mess with the party assets. Maricle and Triela had a complicated face and turned silent once they heard that. They also realized that it was possible.
They both intended to pay for the orphanage’s support from their personal assets. Ah, if I remember right, Triela told me he also wanted to send money to the orphanage, right?
That means these two people had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and Cain mixed in there with an enthusiastic face. Probably.
After that, we finished dinner and went to bed. We moved early on the next day. I had to go back to the royal capital early and continue my blacksmithing training.
