My view was dyed white momentarily then the familiar view of our my parents 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 todays test?

I won.

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

Mouu, Arnos-chans a genius! Youll be a splendid demon emperor when you grow up. If Arnos-chan becomes a demon emperor youll 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 its Arnos-chans dream, mother examined it thoroughly! Its where you govern an area of Deiruheido. I went to that castle thats 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, its more like my mothers ability to take action is amazing.

Ive no real desire to become a demon emperor. If I think about Avos Dillheavia then eventually Ill need to prove that Im the real demon king of tyranny.

Oh well, its close enough to the truth to be mostly correct.

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

Un. Arnos-chans teacher Emilia-sensei is Erio Roodwells 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?

Its 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 wouldnt 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 bridea boy!! my mother shouted in surprise when she saw Rays face. Is that right? A boy? That is a boys uniform right? Like Arnos-chans?

Indeed. Im Ray Grandori. I just started yesterday but were friends.

My mothers expression suddenly brightened.

Thats good. Mother was worried. Arnos-chan has only bought girls home so I was concerned he couldnt get along with other boys. Thats right. Its okay. Arnos-chan isnt the type of person who just seduces girls!

Were you worried that much mother?

I can see why youd think that. I didnt know until today how good it was to spend time with a man.

2000 years ago I didnt care about gender. If they matched personality-wise with me Id show them my disposition.

Well, it did depend on the other party but Im strangely matched with Ray.

.A manis fine.? my mother muttered under her breath with a blank look on her face.

A.ArArnos-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 mothers 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 Im finally starting to understand normal feelings somewhat.

I made it strange?..Really.? Right, its normal..normal. You like boys. Theres nothing wrong with that. Theres 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.
