I opened the door at the invitation of Suela's voice and stepped aside to let my mom and dad in.
Hi, I'm Suela Handelberg.
My name is Memoria Tris. It's a pleasure to meet you.
"...... ahahahaha! So that's how it is, Jiro. I didn't expect you to bring two wives along!
As I opened the door, Suela and Memoria stood side by side to greet my mom.
Seeing this gesture, my mother was silent for a few seconds, then she understood everything and began to pat me on the back with a laugh.
Speaking of my dad, he looks at Suela and the Henderbergs, and he clenches his fist in his right hand, happy and impressed that they are elves.
A dark elf, to be exact, but I'm not going to get into that right now.
"Well, I didn't expect you to have a normal kid because of this unusual company, but I didn't expect this. My son is a piece of work. This is going to be a great way to see your grandson.
She did not blame her mother for the two-timing, but rather nodded her head in agreement.
You should look relieved, but I'd like you to save that for later.
"Well then, here we are.
After all, in addition to the two-timing, I'm going to report that I'm already having a child.
I stepped in between Suela and Memoria from the side of the mother and tapped her on the shoulder and she gently put her hand on her belly with a smile on her face.
"What, what, is today a surprise for me? I'm just surprised. If you say this is a joke, Jiro, you understand, right?
Your mother's face, which is usually regarded as somewhat predictable, expresses her unprecedented surprise in a straightforward manner.
Then, as if swallowing, her expression changes to show a serious expression.
Looking at your face, you think you've done it, but you can't lie to me in the future.
Finally, I can say these words.
Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Mom, I'm going to marry 'em.
Okay, then I don't have to tell you. Be happy.
We may not talk much as a father and son, but between us, this is enough.
My mother looked relieved and kind.
"Well! So much for the damp! I have a daughter, albeit in law. Drink, Jiro! Why don't you guys join us?
In an instant, the expression returned to its normal face.
Then, he made a quick gesture as if he was going to pour a glass of wine, and it was obvious what it indicated.
"Oh, nice!
Oh my, it's a festive occasion and a good way for parents to get to know each other better.
I thought it would be the men who would get in first, but surprisingly, the women reacted first.
I was relieved to see them, and then the men who showed a happy expression, which made me feel that women are always strong in every family.
And once she starts to say it, she doesn't listen.
The next thing that comes out is
Jiro! Isn't there somewhere I can drink?
I thought you'd say: "......
It's something you can naturally imagine.
But you wonder what to do.
I'm not authorized to enter the basement.
I'm not allowed to hold a drinking party in this conference room or the company's facility.
It's too small to invite my mother and the others to my room, where I live alone.
It's a little cramped in the party room, but you're wondering what to do.
"There is a good place for that.
Suela smiled at me as if to solve my problem.
Isn't alcohol a universal communication tool?
I've seen a lot of people who drink with such pretensions, but now I can understand some of it.
It started off with a spur-of-the-moment comment from my mother, but Suela and Memoria's parents agreed with her, and the conversation went surprisingly smoothly.
The sound of laughter echoes in the prepared room, various foods and drinks are spread out on the table, and a small party is being held in the living room.
You can see the smiles on the faces of the participating members as if they are enjoying themselves.
"I didn't know there was a place like this,
Yes, it should have been a household room, but none of the testers are married, so they're all empty. And since this is a dormitory, it's easy to get permission.
"I see, and thanks for that, Memoria. For getting the furniture and all that.
I'm glad I was able to help you.
"Groom! Don't just deal with your wife, you can deal with this old man, too!
"Dad, keep your voice down a little more! Oh, Mr. Gray, Mr. Ichiro, I'm sorry my father was so noisy,
No matter.
Oh, no, I don't mind, either.
In the spacious living room, which is unimaginably large for a private room, a table is set up, and each person eats and drinks as he or she pleases.
Yes, here is a mushroom stir-fry that is commonly eaten in our village. You can pass them out there too.
I've been waiting for you, and yes, the meat dish was great, but this one also has a great flavor of its own.
"Thanks, I haven't had dark elf food in a long time, but it's still delicious!
Unlike the men who are just eating and drinking, the mothers take turns standing in the kitchen.
The first thing they do is divide up the food into groups and finish cooking at once, and then, with a glass of sake in hand, they prepare the rest of the dishes as if they were replenishing the food.
It's not a waste of time and effort, and as soon as you think you've left your seat, you return and join the conversation.
I think I've been called in, I'll be back in a bit.
Yes, so we'll be talking to your mother-in-law.
"Oh come on! Let's talk about women's secrets!
"Mother, moderate, sorry, mothers-in-law, take care of your mother.
"Okay,
Yes, I've received it.
As we were the stars of the event, Suela prepared the venue, but she did not help with the food and drinks.
So I'm slowly moving back and forth between the mothers and fathers.
Welcome, welcome! Here, my son-in-law, let's start with a drink.
Hi.
The old man, who doesn't look like an old man, says that Suela's grandfather greets me again with a smile and offers me a bottle of wine.
He poured me a glass of wine, a lower strength wine than the one I drank with the instructors, and I drank it softly.
This man's cheerful atmosphere also helped in the preparation of this banquet.
As soon as the feast began, he slapped you on the back and said
You really did it, groom! Now the Hendelberg family is safe!
And Suela praised me for having a child.
Muille's generosity, not caring if the child was born to a human, eased my tensions after I got married.
This allowed me to have a smooth conversation with her.
I'm glad to see that your parents are enjoying themselves.
Yeah, Jiro, I've heard that the wine here is good, but it's pretty good.
"Hmmm, addictive.
I would definitely recommend sake to you - by all means have a drink.
It's going to be fun.
"Mm.
Several bottles are already empty, and my dad, who has only a human strength for alcohol, is already drunk.
The other people seem to be fine, but they don't seem to care about my father's condition.
"But that rock-paper-scissors game was awesome. It looked like he had many hands.
Haha, anyone in our world can do that if they learn to strengthen their magic to some extent.
"Mm.
"Goodness, Jiro, are you sure I can't do magic?
And a drunkard can change the subject very quickly.
What Dad had talked about earlier was the question of who would get the father-in-law call first.
When the subject came up again, I almost wondered what to do, but then it became rock-paper-scissors with my mother's voice, not a crane's call, to decide.
Aside from Memoria's father, Gray, who was on board from the start, Suela's father, Mytt, surprisingly, was also on board.
He didn't go into the fact that he was doing everything he could to strengthen his magic, and it was honestly amazing that he was changing his moves one after the other at high speed.
And it was my father-in-law who took the victory.
He must be the son of the polite-looking and energetic young man Muille, and he posed with a happy gut.
Next to him, Gray, who was depressed because of his mood, was being comforted by his wife, Mirul.
I tried to resolve the same issue of calling your mother-in-law, but she seemed to have already discussed it and congratulated Suela on her child and said she would give it up.
Even so, later on, Mille was to be called mother-in-law as well, but I didn't feel comfortable calling her mother-in-law, as she looked younger than me: ......
The sequence of events that led to my father's attention was also magic.
He became a photographer because of his curiosity to see the unknown.
This curiosity lasted from childhood to adulthood, and now he is a mass of curiosity that is unafraid to explore even the most uncivilized jungle.
How could such a father not be interested in magic?
I'll have to measure your magic aptitude, but ...... the fact that you're rejected by this company's wards means that it's not that high. Do you want to measure it?
"You can measure it!
Oh, there is a piece of paper in my room that measures your magical aptitude.
"Yes, Jiro, please.
"Oh, thank you, Suela, where did you get that?
I heard that you needed it, so I got it from the tester's department vault.
"Transference magic, useful as always.
I interrupt the conversation with my mom and thank Suela again for preparing it for me and hand the flyer to my dad.
So, Jiro, how is this blank piece of paper going to change?
"If you have the aptitude, the letters emerge and turn into a job ad.
"And then?
"A number appears in the upper right corner and gives some approximate measurements of magical aptitude.
"Yeah, how long does that test take?
"A moment.
"Huh?
"So it's a moment.
Jiro, I have a blank piece of paper.
That means you have no magical aptitude. That means you can't do magic.
"Eeeeeeeeee, Kirika!
Oh, come on, you're a grown man, don't cry. It's only a piece of paper.
"Ugh, it was, it was, it was a magic trick?
I had expected to have a magic aptitude of about two, but I didn't expect to have no magic aptitude.
After a moment's silence, my father, teary-eyed, jumped at my mom.
You'll be able to catch it effortlessly while avoiding the glass without panic, more like a man than most men.
Muille and Gray and Myrt also look at my dad worriedly, but he laughs away, waving his hand with a flutter as he always does.
Then he pulls out the flyer he was clutching and looks at the crumpled paper.
You should be happy just to be in contact with that magic. Just one flyer like this, Jiro, you're surprisingly well paid.
My mom can read it, not exactly the same amount as it says on there. What's your eligibility? See what it says on the top right?
"Hmm? It says ten. Is this low?
「「「「「 tens! 」」」」
Ignorance means that sometimes you say outrageous things without hesitation.
The people who know the meaning of the magic aptitude value, including me, are astonished at my mother's statement, which has reached the highest level.
"Let me see it, mother!
What's so amazing about it?
My mother, who doesn't understand the situation, questions me with a scowl, but I'm not cool with it right now.
It's more rare than winning the lottery, after all, it's the magic aptitude of the story.
I'm sorry to reach out and grab the paper from across from the mother and grab it.
The paper I looked at had the number ten written on it without a doubt as if to confirm my mistake.
"You're serious.
I was faced with reality and my words were short.
Did my high aptitude for magic come from my mother's genes?
Was it my father's influence that my aptitude was slightly lower than my mother's, or was it genetic deterioration?
However, this solved part of the mystery of my mother's unconventional specs.
If she has the same level of ability as the demon king, exactly the same level of ability as a hero, then her intuition makes sense.
"Gusun, I remember that Kirika said she was chased by a ghost when she was a student and managed to escape. I'm sure the reason why I saw the ghost is because Kirika can use magic.
The air that had been pleasantly chatting about the matter a moment ago was transformed into a tumult, and the person who interrupted was also my father, who did not know the same situation.
Is that so? Jiro.
No, the Earth is basically devoid of magic, so having a magical aptitude shouldn't have anything to do with whether or not you can see ghosts.
Still catching up with reality, I couldn't take my eyes off the flyer and simply answered the question.
Memoria and Suela are peeking out from my side, too, and are too surprised by the numbers to say anything.
So is your father-in-law, who is peering in further from behind them.
I'm relieved to hear that. I've only seen it once, but I've never experienced anything like that before.
We were too busy thinking about what to do with the numbers to listen to her, but she didn't care.
Regardless of that, she reminisces about the old days, tipping her glass of beer as if to reminisce about the past.
It was pretty funny for a ghost, though. I had a bad feeling and then all of a sudden the ground lit up. That's when I got goosebumps all over my spine. I quickly avoided it, but then it turned into a big ball of light chasing after me. That alone was strange....but now it was coming after me, telling me it needed your help. I thought it was dangerous and ran away, and then it kept coming at me, screaming at me to get into the light," he said.
"Yeah, I know I've heard it a million times, but it's crazy.
I was on the run all day long, and by nightfall I managed to scatter them, but I didn't want to be possessed by a ghost either, so I spent the night at a waterfall in the back of my parents' house to purify myself. To dispel evil spirits. Well, the next day I caught a cold and fell asleep. What's up with that, guys? You look like a pigeon caught in a peashooter.
"No, mother, that's not it,
We were surprised at her magical aptitude until a while ago when we heard her laughing about nothing at all, but thanks to that talk that we should never miss, our eyes were drawn to her.
That familiar sight made me realize what had happened to my mom.
And I'm going to tell her.
"Aren't you summoning heroes?

This is going to be a great way to see your grandson.She did not blame her mother for the two-timing, but rather nodded her head in agreement.You should look relieved, but I'd like you to save that for later."Well then, here we are.After all, in addition to the two-timing, I'm going to report that I'm already having a child.I stepped in between Suela and Memoria from the side of the mother and tapped her on the shoulder and she gently put her hand on her belly with a smile on her face."What, what, is today a surprise for me?I'm just surprised. If you say this is a joke, Jiro, you understand, right?Your mother's face, which is usually regarded as somewhat predictable, expresses her unprecedented surprise in a straightforward manner.Then, as if swallowing, her expression changes to show a serious expression.Looking at your face, you think you've done it, but you can't lie to me in the future.Finally, I can say these words.Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Mom, I'm going to marry 'em.Okay, then I don't have to tell you. Be happy.We may not talk much as a father and son, but between us, this is enough.My mother looked relieved and kind."Well!So much for the damp!I have a daughter, albeit in law. Drink, Jiro!Why don't you guys join us?In an instant, the expression returned to its normal face.Then, he made a quick gesture as if he was going to pour a glass of wine, and it was obvious what it indicated."Oh, nice!Oh my, it's a festive occasion and a good way for parents to get to know each other better.I thought it would be the men who would get in first, but surprisingly, the women reacted first.I was relieved to see them, and then the men who showed a happy expression, which made me feel that women are always strong in every family.And once she starts to say it, she doesn't listen.The next thing that comes out isJiro!Isn't there somewhere I can drink?I thought you'd say: "......It's something you can naturally imagine.But you wonder what to do.I'm not authorized to enter the basement.I'm not allowed to hold a drinking party in this conference room or the company's facility.It's too small to invite my mother and the others to my room, where I live alone.It's a little cramped in the party room, but you're wondering what to do."There is a good place for that.Suela smiled at me as if to solve my problem.Isn't alcohol a universal communication tool?I've seen a lot of people who drink with such pretensions, but now I can understand some of it.It started off with a spur-of-the-moment comment from my mother, but Suela and Memoria's parents agreed with her, and the conversation went surprisingly smoothly.The sound of laughter echoes in the prepared room, various foods and drinks are spread out on the table, and a small party is being held in the living room.You can see the smiles on the faces of the participating members as if they are enjoying themselves."I didn't know there was a place like this,Yes, it should have been a household room, but none of the testers are married, so they're all empty. And since this is a dormitory, it's easy to get permission."I see, and thanks for that, Memoria. For getting the furniture and all that.I'm glad I was able to help you."Groom!Don't just deal with your wife, you can deal with this old man, too!"Dad, keep your voice down a little more!Oh, Mr. Gray, Mr. Ichiro, I'm sorry my father was so noisy,No matter.Oh, no, I don't mind, either.In the spacious living room, which is unimaginably large for a private room, a table is set up, and each person eats and drinks as he or she pleases.Yes, here is a mushroom stir-fry that is commonly eaten in our village. You can pass them out there too.I've been waiting for you, and yes, the meat dish was great, but this one also has a great flavor of its own."Thanks, I haven't had dark elf food in a long time, but it's still delicious!Unlike the men who are just eating and drinking, the mothers take turns standing in the kitchen.The first thing they do is divide up the food into groups and finish cooking at once, and then, with a glass of sake in hand, they prepare the rest of the dishes as if they were replenishing the food.It's not a waste of time and effort, and as soon as you think you've left your seat, you return and join the conversation.I think I've been called in, I'll be back in a bit.Yes, so we'll be talking to your mother-in-law."Oh come on!Let's talk about women's secrets!"Mother, moderate, sorry, mothers-in-law, take care of your mother."Okay,Yes, I've received it.As we were the stars of the event, Suela prepared the venue, but she did not help with the food and drinks.So I'm slowly moving back and forth between the mothers and fathers.Welcome, welcome!Here, my son-in-law, let's start with a drink.Hi.The old man, who doesn't look like an old man, says that Suela's grandfather greets me again with a smile and offers me a bottle of wine.He poured me a glass of wine, a lower strength wine than the one I drank with the instructors, and I drank it softly.This man's cheerful atmosphere also helped in the preparation of this banquet.As soon as the feast began, he slapped you on the back and saidYou really did it, groom!Now the Hendelberg family is safe!And Suela praised me for having a child.Muille's generosity, not caring if the child was born to a human, eased my tensions after I got married.This allowed me to have a smooth conversation with her.I'm glad to see that your parents are enjoying themselves.Yeah, Jiro, I've heard that the wine here is good, but it's pretty good."Hmmm, addictive.I would definitely recommend sake to you - by all means have a drink.It's going to be fun."Mm.Several bottles are already empty, and my dad, who has only a human strength for alcohol, is already drunk.The other people seem to be fine, but they don't seem to care about my father's condition."But that rock-paper-scissors game was awesome. It looked like he had many hands.Haha, anyone in our world can do that if they learn to strengthen their magic to some extent."Mm."Goodness, Jiro, are you sure I can't do magic?And a drunkard can change the subject very quickly.What Dad had talked about earlier was the question of who would get the father-in-law call first.When the subject came up again, I almost wondered what to do, but then it became rock-paper-scissors with my mother's voice, not a crane's call, to decide.Aside from Memoria's father, Gray, who was on board from the start, Suela's father, Mytt, surprisingly, was also on board.He didn't go into the fact that he was doing everything he could to strengthen his magic, and it was honestly amazing that he was changing his moves one after the other at high speed.And it was my father-in-law who took the victory.He must be the son of the polite-looking and energetic young man Muille, and he posed with a happy gut.Next to him, Gray, who was depressed because of his mood, was being comforted by his wife, Mirul.I tried to resolve the same issue of calling your mother-in-law, but she seemed to have already discussed it and congratulated Suela on her child and said she would give it up.Even so, later on, Mille was to be called mother-in-law as well, but I didn't feel comfortable calling her mother-in-law, as she looked younger than me: ......The sequence of events that led to my father's attention was also magic.He became a photographer because of his curiosity to see the unknown.This curiosity lasted from childhood to adulthood, and now he is a mass of curiosity that is unafraid to explore even the most uncivilized jungle.How could such a father not be interested in magic?I'll have to measure your magic aptitude, but ...... the fact that you're rejected by this company's wards means that it's not that high. Do you want to measure it?"You can measure it!Oh, there is a piece of paper in my room that measures your magical aptitude."Yes, Jiro, please."Oh, thank you, Suela, where did you get that?I heard that you needed it, so I got it from the tester's department vault."Transference magic, useful as always.I interrupt the conversation with my mom and thank Suela again for preparing it for me and hand the flyer to my dad.So, Jiro, how is this blank piece of paper going to change?"If you have the aptitude, the letters emerge and turn into a job ad."And then?"A number appears in the upper right corner and gives some approximate measurements of magical aptitude."Yeah, how long does that test take?"A moment."Huh?"So it's a moment.Jiro, I have a blank piece of paper.That means you have no magical aptitude. That means you can't do magic."Eeeeeeeeee, Kirika!Oh, come on, you're a grown man, don't cry. It's only a piece of paper."Ugh, it was, it was, it was a magic trick?I had expected to have a magic aptitude of about two, but I didn't expect to have no magic aptitude.After a moment's silence, my father, teary-eyed, jumped at my mom.You'll be able to catch it effortlessly while avoiding the glass without panic, more like a man than most men.Muille and Gray and Myrt also look at my dad worriedly, but he laughs away, waving his hand with a flutter as he always does.Then he pulls out the flyer he was clutching and looks at the crumpled paper.You should be happy just to be in contact with that magic. Just one flyer like this, Jiro, you're surprisingly well paid.My mom can read it, not exactly the same amount as it says on there. What's your eligibility?See what it says on the top right?"Hmm?It says ten. Is this low? tens! Ignorance means that sometimes you say outrageous things without hesitation.The people who know the meaning of the magic aptitude value, including me, are astonished at my mother's statement, which has reached the highest level."Let me see it, mother!What's so amazing about it?My mother, who doesn't understand the situation, questions me with a scowl, but I'm not cool with it right now.It's more rare than winning the lottery, after all, it's the magic aptitude of the story.I'm sorry to reach out and grab the paper from across from the mother and grab it.The paper I looked at had the number ten written on it without a doubt as if to confirm my mistake."You're serious.I was faced with reality and my words were short.Did my high aptitude for magic come from my mother's genes?Was it my father's influence that my aptitude was slightly lower than my mother's, or was it genetic deterioration?However, this solved part of the mystery of my mother's unconventional specs.If she has the same level of ability as the demon king, exactly the same level of ability as a hero, then her intuition makes sense."Gusun, I remember that Kirika said she was chased by a ghost when she was a student and managed to escape. I'm sure the reason why I saw the ghost is because Kirika can use magic.The air that had been pleasantly chatting about the matter a moment ago was transformed into a tumult, and the person who interrupted was also my father, who did not know the same situation.Is that so? Jiro.No, the Earth is basically devoid of magic, so having a magical aptitude shouldn't have anything to do with whether or not you can see ghosts.Still catching up with reality, I couldn't take my eyes off the flyer and simply answered the question.Memoria and Suela are peeking out from my side, too, and are too surprised by the numbers to say anything.So is your father-in-law, who is peering in further from behind them.I'm relieved to hear that. I've only seen it once, but I've never experienced anything like that before.We were too busy thinking about what to do with the numbers to listen to her, but she didn't care.Regardless of that, she reminisces about the old days, tipping her glass of beer as if to reminisce about the past.It was pretty funny for a ghost, though. I had a bad feeling and then all of a sudden the ground lit up.That's when I got goosebumps all over my spine. I quickly avoided it, but then it turned into a big ball of light chasing after me. That alone was strange....but now it was coming after me, telling me it needed your help. I thought it was dangerous and ran away, and then it kept coming at me, screaming at me to get into the light," he said."Yeah, I know I've heard it a million times, but it's crazy.I was on the run all day long, and by nightfall I managed to scatter them, but I didn't want to be possessed by a ghost either, so I spent the night at a waterfall in the back of my parents' house to purify myself. To dispel evil spirits. Well, the next day I caught a cold and fell asleep.What's up with that, guys? You look like a pigeon caught in a peashooter."No, mother, that's not it,We were surprised at her magical aptitude until a while ago when we heard her laughing about nothing at all, but thanks to that talk that we should never miss, our eyes were drawn to her.That familiar sight made me realize what had happened to my mom.And I'm going to tell her."Aren't you summoning heroes?Tanaka Jiro, 28 years old, with a spouseWife Suella HandelbergMemory TrisOccupation Dungeon Tester full-timeMagical aptitude nine quasi-magical gradePost WarriorsWord of the DayTurns out my mother was even more amazing than I thought.Oh, more than I expected.
