My view was dyed white momentarily then the familiar view of our my parent’s blacksmith and appraiser shop appeared.

Opening the door I stepped inside.

The familiar doorbell rang out and my mother who was standing inside turned around.

“Welcome home Arnos-chan!” my mother says happily jumping on me. “How was today’s test?”

“I won.”

My mother smiles happily at me and pulls my head into her chest.

“Mouu, Arnos-chan’s a genius! You’ll be a splendid demon emperor when you grow up. If Arnos-chan becomes a demon emperor you’ll surely make a wonderful town. Mother will definitely live there! I look forward to it!”

Nn?

“You know about demon emperors mother?”

“Of course. Because it’s Arnos-chan’s dream, mother examined it thoroughly! It’s where you govern an area of Deiruheido. I went to that castle that’s nearby and listened to various stories. I was also able to have a short audience with the demon emperor Erio Roodwell-sama.”

Because I said I wanted to go to the demon king academy did you think I wanted to become a demon emperor?

You even investigated them and met one.

Is this a parent? No, it’s more like my mother’s ability to take action is amazing.

I’ve no real desire to become a demon emperor. If I think about Avos Dillheavia then eventually I’ll need to prove that I’m the real demon king of tyranny.

Oh well, it’s close enough to the truth to be mostly correct.

“That demon emperors family name was Roodwell? Where have I heard that before?”

“Un. Arnos-chan’s teacher Emilia-sensei is Erio Roodwell’s daughter.”

Aah, I see. That Emilia is huh?

That explains why she gets so uptight about royal criticism.

“What did you talk about when you had your audience?”

“It’s a group audience but it was a great opportunity to listen, also only people with special permission may talk.”

Fumu. Is that so?

I guess if a demon emperor was to listen to every single person there wouldn’t be enough hours in the day.

“By the way mother, the number of people have increased today. Is that okay?”

“Eh……..?”

My mothers face becomes serious as she timidly peeks behind me.

“…….Arnos-chan…..by any chance……..is your third bride……a boy!!” my mother shouted in surprise when she saw Ray’s face. “Is that right? A boy? That is a boy’s uniform right? Like Arnos-chan’s?”

“Indeed. I’m Ray Grandori. I just started yesterday but were friends.”

My mother’s expression suddenly brightened.

“That’s good. Mother was worried. Arnos-chan has only bought girls home so I was concerned he couldn’t get along with other boys. That’s right. It’s okay. Arnos-chan isn’t the type of person who just seduces girls!”

Were you worried that much mother?

“I can see why you’d think that. I didn’t know until today how good it was to spend time with a man.”

2000 years ago I didn’t care about gender. If they matched personality-wise with me I’d show them my disposition.

Well, it did depend on the other party but I’m strangely matched with Ray.

“…….A man…………is fine…….?” my mother muttered under her breath with a blank look on her face.

“…………A……….Ar………Arnos-chan is…..Arnos-chan is………”

My mother stepped back, staggered a bit and shouted out

“What should I doooooooooooo!? Arnos-chan has come ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!”

My mother’s switch has been flipped again.

“Is something about this situation strange?”

“Eh….? No no no, nothing is strange. Nothing is wrong with Arnos-chan.”

“So far, rather than saying its strange I think this is normal.”

I never minded if the other party was a man or a woman but I think I’m finally starting to understand normal feelings somewhat.

“I made it strange?…..Really…….? Right, it’s normal…..normal. You like boys. There’s nothing wrong with that. There’s nothing wrong. Please wait a minute.”

My mothers grabs Misha and Sasha with tremendous force.

“Did you both know?”

Sasha spoke calmly to my upset mother.
