Recap

After defeating a dragon and earning the aliases “Enemy of All Monsters” and “Dragon Killer,” Cain, now ten years old, travels to the royal capital for his noble debut. On the journey, his sister Reine expresses excitement about their future in the capital, though Garm reminds them Cain must wait two years to start school. Along the way, Cain uses Search as a safety measure and detects a monster attack on a group of soldiers protecting a carriage. Ignoring his father's warnings, he goes ahead alone, defeats the monsters using advanced magic, heals the injured, and stores the fallen soldiers in his Item Box. The carriage reveals Princess Telestia and Duke Santana’s daughter, Silk, who thank Cain for saving them and invite him to travel with them. Upon reaching Renoma, Telestia and Silk, who are both smitten with Cain, insist on sharing a room with Cain, citing safety concerns. Despite Garm’s objections, they end up sleeping in adjacent beds, leaving Cain sleepless for several nights.

At the royal palace, Cain is thanked by the vice-captain of the Royal Chivalric Order for protecting the girls and bringing the fallen soldiers home. During his audience with the king, Cain’s actions are recounted, astonishing the nobles. The king rewards Cain with the title of baron, ten platinum coins, and a mansion, ignoring objections from other nobles. Later, the king proposes that Cain becomes engaged to Telestia and Silk, citing their shared travels and the potential scandal of their close interactions. Though hesitant, Cain reluctantly agrees under pressure from the king and Duke Santana. In a flashback, it is revealed the decision was also influenced by the girls’ affection for Cain and the kingdom’s desire to keep him close due to his exceptional abilities. In the after-credits scene, Reine and Garm interrogate Cain about his newfound engagements, teasing him about his “philandering.”
