“I get it! I get it, so I’ll ask him to make one for you too.”

“I’ve got your word on that, dear.”

“I promise!”

I managed to appease my wife and daughter with words, but just imagining that scene now, where I don’t even know when the next time I will be summoned, and I still have no credit or achievement to offer to my master, is enough to make my scales peel off from the stress.

Aah, what should I do?



[Karendoll’s POV]

The information I got about Kaisar-sama from my brother was not what I had imagined. He was merely suspicious of the oddity that only Kaisar-sama was immune from the penalties.

Now, all I have to do is lead Kaisar-sama away from suspicion and change my parents’ opinion of him to make them feel even more indebted to him.

“Is this what you want, Kaisar-sama?” I mumble to myself in an empty room.

In the first place, it’s unnatural for Kaisar -sama to undertake such a risky act of opposing the Dark Guild just to save a mere girl like me.

Belmude, the Dark Guild Master, possesses a ring of summoning, which at best is a magic item that can summon at most one kobold.

It’s an excellent item that can give you an advantage in numbers against intermediate adventurers and a momentary opening against advanced adventurers, but that’s just a general interpretation. In the case of Kaisar-sama, I see no reason for him to summon kobolds. Rather, he can use his power on something else.

Then there is only one reason left.

“Please wait for me. I will persuade my parents and will surely come to be yours, too, Kaisar-sama.”

Yes, I know that Bridgette, of all people, is supporting Kaisar-sama along with her own family.

And that is just behind the scenes.

If so, I have to approach him upfront.



[Kaisar’s POV]

“And that’s why we, the Lewis family, are very grateful to Kaisar-sama. If we had not realized that our eldest son, Dominic, was not only connected to the Dark Guild but also involved in drugs, we would have been forced to face expulsion without a second heir to the family. In the worst case scenario, our Lewis family would have ceased to exist.”

Saying so, Grace, the current head of the Lewis family, who came to visit with her daughter, Karendoll, early in the morning without an appointment, laughed heartily, “Gahahaha!”

Is it my imagination that the windowpane is shaking because he’s so loud?

“When my daughter told me not only that but that you had even given her the cure for free, I wanted to express my gratitude to you, Kaisar-sama, as soon as possible, so I know it’s rude of me to do so, but I’m here now! And what’s more, my daughter even told me that she fell in love with you when she saw how brave you were! I have always worried about what would happen if she hadn’t gotten engaged at her age… but now all my worries are gone! I don’t think I’ve repaid you for all you’ve done for us this time, but please consider marrying my daughter, and although I’m a fool of a parent, my Karendoll is such a responsible girl. She is also smart, a good cook, and has a talent for magic. I would not be ashamed to show her anywhere, even to royalty.”
