I walked restlessly down a corridor that didn't have many people living in it and seemed vaguely quiet.
　Today was my mom and dad's first day of work my first day as an intern at Black's magic tool trade association. And it's almost time to come home...is it safe for the two of you to come home?

　It's a good thing that you have the trust of the Söderich magician, and when it comes to work experience, Mom and Dad are better than me, so it's strange to worry about them.
　But this is a different world for both of us, and although I'm used to it now, I remember being confused at first. That's why I'm also worried.

　As I was walking down the corridor thinking about this, I heard a bright voice coming from a corner. The voices are definitely my mom and dad's. Thank goodness the cheerful voice means that things must have gone well. I guess I was too worried about it, wasn't I?
　After patting his hot chest, he was about to head in the direction of the voices... and stopped at what he heard.

'But it's great, Kaito!　I didn't know that Kaijin was such a big deal.
'Well, Kaito isn't the type to brag too much. Maybe he was embarrassed to let us know.

　....What?　What is it?　What the hell are Mom and Dad talking about?　It sounds like a story about me, but ... the big time?
　It was too much of a concern for me, so I stopped and listened. I don't feel like Mom and Dad are stopping to have a conversation either, or moving over to us.

'Thank you, Leonora, for that. Thanks for lending me your book, I've learned a lot about the exploits of Kaito.


　What is this, I have a very bad feeling about this... book?　Elves?　Remember, there must be something...

--There are books and plays about Miyama's exploits.

　Oh, ahhh!　Oh, I just remembered!　When I went to Rigforesia, Ray and Fia mentioned the book...I completely forgot about it because of all the things that happened after that, including becoming lovers with Zeke!
　Oh, yeah, by the way, I think they said something about a follow-up volume coming out or something....

''I'm sniffy as a parent too, that there's even eight volumes out!
What can I say, kids grow up so fast.

　Eight volumes!　Huh?　Oh, my God, is my book out that much?　No, no, no, you didn't write eight volumes worth of stuff!
　Come to think of it, I remember Rei-san and Fia-san saying that I was also the one who defeated the Black Bear or something like that.......

''........Is the black bear that Kaito says 'kicked out hundreds of them' a strong demon after all?''
It's a good thing that they're called bears, because they're demons like bears. Even a single ordinary bear is a threat to us, so if there are hundreds of them, Kaito must be very strong.
'Kaito said he could do magic but wasn't strong, was he being humble?
I think you're making too strong a comparison.　It might mean that I'm going to target a Lady Shalovanal or a Lady Chromium or something like that.

　Ehhh!　Wait a minute.......this is going in an unbelievable direction!　I'm not strong!　I've often been compared to slimes and goblins!

'That's my boyfriend!　I'm so proud of you!
Oh, come on, he's my son, too.

　Both of you need to wake up that son is a son of a fictional world.
　Just as I was about to step out with that in mind, I heard a familiar voice.

''........Oh?　Akari-dono and Kazuya-dono, what did you do when you stopped in the hallway?
Oh, Anima!　Look, look, this book!　It's written about the exploits of a pleasant man.

　Here, anima!　This is not good, this is a pattern of further misunderstandings piling up. I have a feeling that since it's Anima, she's going to lift me up and talk to me as hard as she can.
　I should have left earlier. No, it's not too late!　Now...........

Oh, I've looked through that book myself. But the content of the book is, shall we say, for the sake of storytelling, or rather, it's been considerably adapted.

　....Oh?

'What?　Really?
"Yes, in the volume that Akari-dono now has, it was his master who annihilated the black bears, but that's not true. Master fought only one black bear.... well, sort of myself.
Anima-chan?
The first time I saw it, I thought it was a good idea," said the master, "to protect Yuzuki-dono, who was unable to move because of his cowering legs, he stood up to him, even though he understood the difference in strength. There is no doubt that this courage is to be admired, and seeing the strength of the master's heart at that time, I wanted to serve the master. However, it was Lord Lilia who actually defeated him.

　I wasn't expecting this. I had thought that I was going to talk about me again, lifting me up too much, but what Anima told me was exactly what actually happened.

''The one who annihilated the Black Bear horde was also not my master, but Lord Isis. Well most definitely........If Master hadn't been there, Lord Isis wouldn't have shown up, and in that sense, it wouldn't be wrong to say that it was thanks to Master.
Nah, I see...
''As for the content of the Harvest Festival, Master's great record is also largely due to the help of Lord Lillywood. Nevertheless, even without Lord Liliwood's help, Master would have won by a large margin. His kind wishes for Rigforesia afterwards are to be commended, and without a doubt, Master would be a benefactor and hero to Rigforesia. But again, being a book for the masses, the content seems to be a little over-embellished.

　From Anima speaking in a calm voice to clear up the misunderstanding between Mom and Dad, I somehow felt that there was some change of heart from before.

''Hmmm ... thanks for telling me, Anima-chan.''
'No, and if you can, could you please don't tell your master about the book?　Master is not one who likes to be overly praised, so I think that book will only be a burden to him.

　Mom's words were answered by Anima in a warm and gentle voice.

''Oh, you really helped me. I almost put extra pressure on Kaito. But you're amazing, Anima. You've thought a lot about Kaijin, and that's really admirable.''
'As a squire, I suppose I should return it as a matter of course.......but no. It's something I like to do because I want my beloved master to smile at me. So there is no need for praise.

　After hearing those words, I gently moved from the spot so as not to make a sound of footsteps. As I put my hand on my mouth to cover it, which almost made me smile........
　What can I say, because Anima's words, which she replied emphatically that she was doing it because she loved it, made me feel somehow....happy.
