I walked restlessly down the corridor, which seed sowhat quiet because there weren’t many people living here.
Today was Mom and Dad’s first day on the job…… as interns at Kuro’s magic tool trading company. It’s almost ti for them to co ho…… Will they be alright?
Of course, I quite trust the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company, and Mom and Dad have more work experience than I do, so it may seem strange for to be the one worrying about them.
But this is a different world for the two of them, and even though I’m sowhat used to this world by now, I rember how I felt confused at first. That’s why I’m worried about them.
As I was walking down the corridor with that thought in mind, a little further down the hallway…… I heard cheerful voices from around the corner. Those were definitely Mom and Dad’s voices. Thank goodness. They sounded cheerful, so it must have gone well. I guess I was just worrying too much huh?
After patting my chest, I tried to head in the direction of the voices…… but stopped when I heard the content of their conversation.
[Even so, Kaito had beco amazing, didn’t he!? I didn’t know that Kaito had done such great things.]
[Well, Kaito has never been the type to boast about things, so he might be feeling embarrassed if he knows about how we know about this.]
……Eh? What’s that? What is Mom and Dad talking about? It sounds like they were talking about but…… great things?
It was a subject that made extrely curious, so I stopped and listened. Mom and Dad also seed to be standing around having that conversation and didn’t seem like they would walk towards .
[I guess we would have to thank Leonora-san for this huh. Thanks to the books she lent to us, we were able to learn more about Kaito’s exploits.]
[Yeah, even so, these really are amazing exploits, aren’t they…… I can certainly understand why the Elves are calling Kaito their Hero.]
The heck is this, I have a really bad feeling about this…… Books? Elves? Rember, did sothing happen related to them……
—————Moreover, there are also books and plays based on Miyama-kun’s exploits.
Ahh…… Ahhhhhhh!? I- I rember now! There’s that book that Rei-san and Fia-san ntioned when Sieg-san and I went to Rigforeshia…… So many things happened after that, like becoming lovers with Sieg-san, so I completely forgot about that!
S- S- Speaking of which, Rei-san did say sothing about that book having a sequel coming out afterwards……
[For him to even have eight volus of such a book, I’m so proud of him as his parent.]
[What can I say, children do grow up so fast.]
Eight volus!? Eh? No way, there’s that many of my books out there? No, no, how in the heck did they write eight volus worth of stuff about !?
Speaking of which, I think Rei-san and Fia-san said that the book made it look like I was the one who defeated the Black Bears……
[……Kaito “kicking several hundreds” of these Black Bears, are these strong monsters?]
[Hmmm, I think so. Even a normal bear is a threat to us, so if there are several hundreds of those bears, Kaito must be very strong to defeat all of them.]
[Kaito told us that he can use magic, but he isn’t that strong though. Was he just being modest?]
[Couldn’t it be that the object of comparison is just too strong? It might an that he is comparing himself to Shallow Vernal-sama or Kuromu-sama.]
Eeeeehhhhhhh!? Wait a mont there…… I don’t know what’s going on, but isn’t the story taking an unbelievable turn!? I’m really not strong! Heck, I’ve only ever been compared to slis and goblins, you know!!!?
[As expected of my Kaito! He’s my son that I’m proud of!]
[Oi, oi, he’s also my son, okay?]
Both of you need to open up your eyes…… That son you’re talking about is straight out of a fiction book. It’s not real, okay…… A- Anyway, the flow of their conversation isn’t good, I need to clear up their misunderstanding quickly.
Just as I was about to step out with this in mind, I heard a familiar voice.
[……Oya? Akari-dono and Kazuya-dono, what are you doing, standing around in the hallway?]
[Ahh, Anima-chan! Lookie! Have you seen this book before? It’s a book about Kaito’s exploits.]
Anima makes her entrance!? T- This is bad, I feel like this would just end up in more misunderstandings. If it’s Anima we’re talking about, she’ll probably raise up my na even higher.
I should have gone out later. No, it shouldn’t be too late yet! If I co out now……
[Ahh, I’ve read that book myself. However, rather than talking about the real story, the contents of the book have been overly exaggerated.]
…..Oya?
[Eh? Is that so?]
[Yes, in the first volu that Akari-dono has now, it says that Master was the one who wiped out all the Black Bears, but that wasn’t the case. Master had only fought one Black Bear…… well, how should I say this…… that one Black Bear was .]
[Kaito fought with Anima-chan!?]
[Yes, I’ll tell you about the particulars later…… but at that ti, Master stood up to protect Yuzuki-dono, whose legs were trembling and unable to move, even though he understood the difference in our abilities. There is no doubt that his courage is to be admired, and seeing the strength of Master’s heart made wish to serve him. However, it was Lilia-dono who actually defeated .]
It was an unexpected turn of events. I thought she was going to excessively raise up my na again, but what Anima told them was exactly what had happened.
[It was also not Master who annihilated the Black Bear horde, but Isis-dono. Well, even then…… If Master hadn’t been there, Isis-dono wouldn’t have shown up, so in that sense, it might not be wrong to say that Rigforeshia was saved from the Black Bear horde thanks to Master.]
[I – I see……]
[As for the content regarding the Harvest Festival, Master’s great record was largely due to Lillywood-dono’s help. Though I say that, even without Lillywood-dono’s help, Master would still have won by a large margin. It’s only natural that his kind wishes for Rigforeshia afterward should be praised, and without a doubt, Master is a benefactor and a Hero for Rigforeshia. However, as it is a book for the masses, the content seems to be a bit over-embellished.]
As Anima calmly cleared up the misunderstanding that Mom and Dad may have in mind, I could sense that her ntality had sohow changed from back then.
[Fumu fumu…… Thank you for telling us about this, Anima-chan.]
[No,and if it’s possible…… Could you please not tell Master about those books? Master isn’t one who likes being overly praised, so I think those books will only burden Master’s mind.]
Anima replied to Mom’s words in a warm and gentle voice.
[Ahh, thank you so much. I almost put unnecessary pressure on Kaito. Even so, Anima-chan is amazing. It’s really admirable how you consider Kaito well.]
[Such a thing is to be expected of as his retainer…… is what I’d like to say, but that’s not the case. I’m just doing what I like to do because I want to receive my adored Master’s smile. Thus, your praise is unnecessary.]
After hearing those words, I quietly walked away, trying to not make any sound. I also put my hand over my mouth, hiding the smile that was about to appear on my face……
I don’t know how to say this…… but hearing Anima’s words, who vigorously answered that she was doing this because she likes …… It sohow makes feel irresistibly happy.
