Chapter 744: The Wish of my Beloved Retainer ① (2/2)

[Ahh, my apologies. I was just overcome with emotion.]

Slightly taken aback by what Leonora just did, Akari spoke to her, while looking a little embarrassed, Leonora returned to her seat.

[……Is Leonora-san acquainted with Kaito?]

[N- No, by no means! It would be disrespectful of me to claim myself as his acquaintance…… It's just that Miyama Kaito-sama is us, ”Elves' Hero”!]

[ [ Hero!? ] ]

Yes, although Akari and Kazuya…… heck, even Kaito himself didn't know about this, Kaito's name is incredibly big for the Elves from Rigforeshia.

If the person himself knows about this, he would be holding his head within his hands…… but a certain story featuring Kaito as the protagonist has already been published its eight volume, and there are even plays and songs based on Kaito's exploits.

He has quite a lot of fans crazy about him, especially among the young elves. Leonora is one of them.

She has three copies of each of the first editions of his books, and she has been to more plays about him than she can count. She can even sing the songs based on Kaito's exploits.

Since Kaito is an otherworlder, when she first heard Akari and Kazuya's surname, she thought that it was just a coincidence…… but they were Kaito's parents. It would be unreasonable for her to not get excited.

[Yes! Miyama Kaito-sama is such a great person that in Rigforeshia, his name is praised along with World King-sama! The books about his exploits were also extremely popular!!!]

[ [ Books!? ] ]

[U- Ummm, I- I know it might be rude of me to suddenly ask this…… but if it's possible…… W- Would it be possible…… if I can ask for M- Miyama Kaito-sama's autograph?]

[ [ Autograph!?!?!? ] ]

Before they knew it, their son was being hailed as a Hero, and books about him were even being published. Hearing her words that were like a bolt out of the blue for the two of them, Akari and Kazuya were simply astonished.

Moreover, this may have been something stated already…… but this would also be a bolt out of the blue for Kaito himself.

<Afterword>

『 I Got Reincarnated in Another World, and my Son Became a Hero 』

-by Akari & Kazuya

Serious-senpai : [It looks like Lindwurm's character design and the highlights of Volume 8 are introduced in the Activity Report. Well, it looks like there will be some seriousification this time, so I guess I'm looking forward to it.]

? ? ? : [Eh? No, putting that aside…… What's with this last part…… Kaito-san's evil hand is reaching out for Serious-senpai? What does this mean……]

Serious-senpai : […………………]

? ? ? : [Come to think of it, you haven't been telling Kaito-san to go explode or saying that he's your natural enemy lately, have you?]

Serious-senpai : [……N- No, well, ummm…… It's not like I've been captured by him…… b- but he's not that bad of a guy…… a- and he would be pitiful…… if I speak too much mean stuff to him……]

? ? ? : [Don't you look completely fallen though……]

Here's the Activity Report stuff that the two were talking about.

As always, thank you for everything.

The release date of the Light Novel's Volume 9, November 22, is drawing near, and I, the author, would like to introduce some of the highlights of Volume 8. Seeing these, I bet you'd probably want to buy it…… I think?

Well then, I'll announce it right away.

*insert Volume 8 Cover Illustration.jpg*

Highlight ① : ”The appearance of Lillie, the head of World King's subordinates”

One of the major differences between the Web Novel and Light Novel is the appearance of Lillie, the head of World King's subordinate. She is a character that has powers similar to Kaito. To be more specific though, Lillie's ability has overwhelmingly better sensing power, while Kaito's ability has overwhelmingly better adaptability.

Highlight ② : ”Sieglinde's super strengthening + Light Novel-exclusive Chapter : 《The Elf who can't use Nature Magic》”

In the Web Novel version, Sieg wasn't able to fight properly, especially in the final battle, but in this volume, she will be strengthened immensely. Perhaps, she might even be able to compete with that cheaty human ojou-sama?

I also added a chapter about that ring that Sieg wears on her pinky on the cover.

Highlight ③ : ”Shiro makes her Last Boss Moves much faster than in the Web Novel”

In the Web Novel, it was only in the latter half of the Six Kings Festival, but in the Light Novel, she has already begun making her move as the Last Boss. Well, the content is more like [……Ahh, Kaitokun-san, I unknowingly encouraged the Last Boss to make her move, tehepero~~]

Highlight ④ : ”Continuation of Lunamaria's Episode”

In the Light Novel, Lunamaria's past story, which was also published in the Web Novel, is included…… but there's a further continuation of that.

[……Lunamaria-san is quite smart, aren't you?]

[……Miyama-sama, people with good intuition like you are…… well, someone I rather like.]

—-something like that. You can also check out the illustration of the very cute Lunamaria drawn by Ochau-sama!

Highlight ⑤ : ”Illness' Light Novel-exclusive content + past story”

To put it simply, it would be ”ILLNESS HAS ARRIVED!!!” or something like that, which would suggest that she will be involved in a major arc in the future.

Also, the encounter between Alice and Illness is also written down.

[……You have a really interesting way of distorting things, don't you?]

[I wonder what you meeeeean?]

[You don't ask for anything from anyone. You would fulfill anything and everything by yourself. And all according to your own standards, only giving to others…… That devotion may be in your nature, but devotion without knowing who it is that you're devoting yourself to would just bring nothing but distortions.]

[………………….]

[Even the words I said to you just now, I feel like you don't consider them as something you need to listen to……]

Highlight ⑥ : ”Finally, Serious-senpai has fallen in the evil hands of the Flag King, Kaito!?”

Senpai is an Easy Heroine.

——and there you have it. Please look forward to it~~
