I Was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

Invite Anima to dinner slightly forcefully and walk the boulevard together.

"You want something to eat, Anima?

"Yes, no, I don't mind if it's your husband's decision!

"... does Anima have any favorite foods?

"Is it your favorite food... I'll eat anything, but if I'm going to make you strong... fish dish, is it?

... Is it because you're a former Black Bear? I do have the image of a bear eating salmon, and I'm convinced that he likes fish dishes.

"All right, then, let's go get some fish food!

"Huh? Yes, no, I..."

"Because I want fish dishes... no problem, right?

"Ugh, yes"

I knew that Anima would shy away from this conversation, so I would make a strong decision by example.

My biggest purpose today is to get Anima to grow enough wings... so I want to hold onto my preferences here.

As I walk down the bustling boulevard at noon thinking about which store to go, remembering that I had been taught a variety of delicious food shops by Cro, my shoulders are lightly bumped with the men and women who had been walking here for a long time.

"Oh, excuse me"

"No, welcome."

At a time when I naturally apologized very lightly and tried to keep going down the road… I noticed that there was no anima that I should have been walking next door, and at the same time I heard a low and intimidating voice from the rear.

"... you, while hitting on your husband, apologize to that extent... you deserve to die! Rub your head on the ground now -" Anima, stop!! "- Huh? Oh, ha!

I forgot!? To the servants of the mansion, I have been soft-minded and cautious many times, and my attitude was softened... so Anima had this harsh place!?

Stop Anima, who was about to be beaten up now, and head down in a hurry.

"Sorry about our anima!

"Yes, no, it's okay"

Fortunately, I was able to get clams to forgive me for breaking in before Anima took tough action.

"Anima! You can't do that, you're such a blackmailer..."

"But they harm your husband..."

"No, because you just hit your shoulder!? It's my carelessness, so I'm not trying to get my hands on it right away!

"Yes... sorry"

Anima gets a depressed look at Shun when she hears my words and honestly tells her words of apology.

Shh, have I said it a little too harshly? Yes, no, this is a situation where you have to be very careful!! Yeah... but I need to follow up on it after... it's pathetic.

"... I'm so glad Anima moved for me. But just a little more modest."

"Yes."

"Yeah. But thanks Anima. You're mad at me."

"Yes!

When I gently stroked Anima's head as I said so, Anima nodded, turning to a pah bright look.

Yeah, well, there's a problem... after all, Anima's acting more for me than anything, and I'm honestly glad for that.

Well, I know you'll be careful when you're about to run off again...

Although we had a little trouble, we arrived safely at a restaurant dealing with fish dishes and had lunch with Anima.

Anima has a slightly cerebral impression from her usual harsh words and behaviors… she also wears table manners well and eats with elegant tricks.

All I'm saying is that Anima is actually smart, and since she started living in Lilia's mansion, she's been studying quite enthusiastically, and she's been helping me with what I learned there.

Especially helpful is the sorting out of the letters...... I still get letters from many nobles to me who have become a little famous since the Treasure Tree Festival.

Weird letters are no longer coming thanks to Alice, but there are many invitations for tea parties and parties anyway.

But the letter in my hand hardly turns... Anima checks the letter that came to me first, except for something personal... Anima writes me no to anything I am unwilling to attend, such as an invitation to a tea party.

He showed me a little of the letter before, but he has tenderly declined me in a very polite writing about whether I have studied it extensively, which is really helpful.

I've heard stories from Mr. Renamaria and other servants about how to write letters, etc., and I really think Anima is a hard worker, and for me she's a really dependable child.

"... Anima, how's it taste?

"Yes, very tasty"

"Oh, good."

This outing was just right for me because I wanted to thank Anima for all the hard work she's been doing from time to time in these ways properly.

Thinking about that all the time, I saw a little sauce on the mouth of the animal I was eating, so I called out with the napkin I had at hand.

"... Anima. Don't move."

"Huh?"

"There's a sauce in my mouth... yes, I could take it"

"Nah!?

"Nah?"

"Hey, it's nothing!? Oh, don't touch me, don't bother me! Sorry!!

"... ugh, yeah. Never mind?

Even after lunch, I took Anima all over the place.

I enjoyed shopping, standing and eating what I bought at the store... I think I had a pretty good time.

And at a time when the surroundings began to stain with a sea color, I decided to go home to the mansion with Anima, and now I was walking side by side in the sunset.

"... Anima, I've taken you around a lot, but aren't you tired?

"Yes! No problem...... rather, I enjoyed it a lot"

"Oh well, that's good...... a little 'I lost my shoulder strength'?

"Huh!?

Hearing my words I told her with a gentle smile, Anima opened her eyes wide and stopped her legs.

"... Again, your husband... you noticed?

"... No, I didn't get the details. I was just wondering if I was in a bit of a 'hurry' lately..."

Yes, actually, this time I took Anima out for another big reason besides the fact that she hasn't taken a break at all.

Anima is a very serious and hard-working child... but adding to that, the feeling of impatience was hidden from the emotions recently transmitted from Anima by sensory magic.

Something stuck up, like that... I didn't even know what was causing it, but I was hoping it would change my mood.

Anima, who heard my words, remained silent for a while... holding her own hand up to the front of her chest and squealing in a small voice as she stared at that hand.

"... am I... at your husband's service... standing?

"... Huh?

My sensory magic, along with the words, senses Anima's strong anxiety.

Anima goes on to say things after she sees me chilling accidentally stuck in words at that look that even looks weak.

"... the only thing I can be proud of about others... is force... but my power... doesn't even reach the feet of Lord Alice..."

"... Anima"

"... I thought that maybe... your husband didn't need it... and I spread my hand to see if that was horrible and could help your husband with more other things. But that's no match for the real job either... I remain useless... I don't know what to do... I don't know..."

……

Anima's voice is trembling.

... Not at all, I don't like how stupid I am. A hard-working, serious girlfriend had the anxiety in her chest the whole time... why couldn't she have noticed it sooner?

If you ask me, yes. Didn't Anima start studying all sorts of things desperately after Alice became my escort... damn... I'm really dull...

No, I'll regret it later. Now there is something to be done before that.

With that in mind, I approach the leaning anima and hug it to wrap its body around it.

"Huh? Your husband!?

"... sorry. Anima...... I had no idea Anima was anxious that way. I'm a stupid husband, and I'm really sorry."

"Yes, no!? No! This is because my heart was weak..."

"Think about it, you didn't put it right... Anima's not useless or anything"

"Huh!?

"You always try your best for me and try something I don't like... Anima is a really dependable kid"

"……………………………………………?

Yes, how to wipe away Anima's anxiety was so easy. I just wanted to say how I felt from the heart...... and yet stupid I got really late to do it.

At first there was a lot of confusion, and I hadn't had a head for that personality once or twice... but Anima, who was always straight and serious and admired me all the way along, was a very big presence at some point.

And so much so that I had taken it for granted to ask her to do something...

"... I need anima. So don't say such a sad thing about being useless."

"Ahhh... ahhh..."

Embracing that smaller body than I thought I could be as gentle as I could, I put into words what I had never been able to say.

The weakness that Anima the Firm showed for the first time, in order to take it firmly...

"... I think I'm less than half a serving as a husband, and I can't give precise instructions to Anima, who would be a squire... I'm sure I won't be able to allocate work well in the future"

"... ugh... ugh..."

"My husband and his squire have a difficult relationship for me, and I don't think I'll ever get used to it... but, uh, this is someone else's buyout... as far as I'm concerned, my relationship with Anima... you know, I want to be in a family-like relationship"

"Huh!?

Yeah, I guess I can't be a good husband for life. Anyway, when it comes to my imaginary ideal relationship, it's a close relationship to my family, like Crowe.

But I'd like to have that relationship with Anima if I could.

"So I wish I could be this unreliable... and in the future, can you help me?

"~!? Yes! I... have everything I have... for the future, for your husband! If your husband will forgive me, let me serve you until this body decays."

"Yeah. Nice to meet you..."

"Ha no... ha no... my husband... I am... I am... in the Lord your husband... I am happy"

In the evening a quiet whimper sounds...... I think that was such a gentle tear that would wash away my previous anxiety.

Dear Mother, Father - I was confused at first and had some problems. But I think I've always been inspired by that honest strength. I don't know much about subordination, but I was convinced that Anima was as important to me as family - without getting lost.
