Shortly after that, lunch time arrived and the neighborhood Onee-chans, including Perichan, returned to their houses for lunch.

My ear caught something right before they left; one of the girls murmuredit is really terrible. I wondered what could it mean?

Lets leave that for now. As I looked at mothers happy face while sucking her breast, mother caressed my silver hair; it looked like she remembered something and started to say whats on her mind.

Come to think of it, just now I overheard something. It seems that Knight-sama is coming to this village this time, you know?

Knight-sama?[1]

You know, a famous person from the Empire. I hear hes a member of the countrys military order.

Military order somehow it gives me a bad vibe.

After all, just a few days ago I had our religious fanatic punished ehem, I mean a friendly talk over, which is why I dont want to hear anything about this religious talk anymore.

Just in case, I will bet at this little chance and try to confirm this.

Is this about theHeroes creed?

Ye, yes. It seems so.

What else could I have expected

It is the biggest sect after all. Its within expectations that they will hold a lot of influence within the empire.

Furthermore, right now in the middle of war They would be longing for the appearance of a Hero.

Bu, but, you know, they dispatched the Knight-samas this time to eliminate the robbers.

Rob-bers?

Ah, come to think of it, there was that rumour. Was it about around 2 months ago?

I havent heard about that problem at all recently, so I thought that they had already been caught but theyre still there huh.

About that, how many people are coming?

That is, only one I hear

One person!? They only dispatched one person for a robber supression!?

What is this? . Perhaps, it will leave a stain on their name if they left the violent acts of these thieves alone forever so they will deal with them as a formality, maybe that is their plan.

If that is true, then the imperial is really black huh maybe it would be better if I didnt become a noble.

Ah, by the way, Im still hiding the fact about I could wield magic from the villagers; of course I didnt report it to the empire either. Thus, Im not holding any court rank peerage.

At first, because mother danced enthusiastically on my first time using magic, it looks that I would be thrown into war I had already given up halfway.

But Onii-chan, vehemently opposed the idea of me becoming a magician and said

If you become magician, you wont be able meet Oksan ever again

something like that. In response, mother firmly saidDont tell anybody about this, okay!with serious face. The speed of her hands was so fast, so quick that it looked like a sonic boom might come out. [2]

Though it seemed like that mother had never seriously intended to make me a magician from the very start.

However, if I had ever done something amazing, she couldnt shake off the tension and ended up rampaging. [3]

Well~, because of that, right now it is still undecided whether I will become a noble or not.

Due to that reason, I cant welcome the knight, or should I say the imperial dog, into this village , especially if he is follower of the hero religion!

Before that knight comes, maybe I should tie and lock it in the basement No , I wont say who it is. Basb ehem!

And then, 3 days after.

I was very surprised seeing the knight who came to our village.

Uh, uuuuuum, that is, n-nice, to meet chu!

That knight-sama was, just a timid girl whose appearance was similar to a senior high school student. [4]

[1] (TL: or should I write Lord soldier? Which is better?) (TLC: knight should be left as knight. Now should we leave the -sama there or not?)

[2] (ED: I thought it was sonic blow for a second)

[3] (TLC: Godzilla rawr.)

[4] (ED: So our MC is surrounded by girls of every age, isnt he? Mother = junior high school student, Knight = senior high school student, Peria = primary school student, Marianne = College student?) (TLC: Peria = 4 years old = kindergarten no?)
