## Summary

Ojisan's memory magic shows Alicia reintroducing herself to Ojisan as the chosen Hero. Memory Magic reveals that Alicia and her party unintentionally took credit for slaying a horde of monsters that Ojisan slew. When Ojisan tries to depart, Alicia stops him and asks if he was the person who re-erected a barrier surrounding Luvaldram. The question alerts Ojisan, but Alicia retracts it, claiming she understands his desire to keep a low profile and promises to keep his identity a secret.

Eventually, Ojisan and the hero party would travel together and reach the Labrinith of Deep Darkness, an A-Rank Dungeon. Upon entering the dungeon, Ojisan immediately casts three spells, which helped locate a shortcut to the dungeon's treasure, a wand. Underwhelmed by how uneventful they had gone through, Ojisan erased the Hero Party's memories and made them go through the dungeon again so they could properly earn the wand. After this, Ojisan doesn't erase the Hero Party's memories to make them believe they have completed the dungeon on their own. Before leaving for the capital, Ojisan receives three healing talismans from Alicia as thanks for his help conquering the dungeon.

Once the memory was over, Takafumi and Sumika praised Ojisan for handling the situation with a calm and cool head. Ojisan claims it was because of the game Shinrei Jusatsushi Tarōmaru.

Their conversation shifts over to how hot it is and that schools typically have ACs in their classrooms. Hearing this irks Ojisan, who recounts that such a luxury didn't exist in his school days. The conversation abruptly shifts again after Takafumi has a memory relapse of receiving verbal abuse from a teacher and suggests they watch what happened when Oji-san visited the capital.

Ojisan's memory reveals him abstracting information from a military commander in front of his legion of soldiers. He would then teleport to the capital, where a clandestine meeting was held between, Commander-in-Chief Ricardo, his aide Miller, and Prelate Karn. Appearing before them, Ojisan decries that Ricardo's actions involving the Hero Party were a martyr ploy to exploit their title by aggravating a national crisis, sequentially boosting the military's finances. Ricardo defends his actions claiming the Hero Party knew what they signed up to become adventurers. Because of his timid attitude, Ojisan couldn't argue against Ricardo's logic and was surrounded by army soldiers. In retaliation, Ojisan transformed into the greatest monster he'd think of... his 2nd-grade middle school homeroom teacher, Tabuchi-sensei. As Tabuchi-sensei, Ojisan slaps Richardo into submission, which causes Miller to try and defend her superior, but she's slapped too, and concedes to Ojisan. Richardo then mentions that recent tribulations involving the slaying of dangerous monsters and the destruction of the Luvaldram barrier had disturbed the world's natural order. All of this was unintentionally done by Ojisan, who couldn't rebuke it with Tabuchi-sensei's slapping method.

At that moment, Mabel appears and seemingly has an epic fight against Ojisan; in reality, it was an illusion created by them using ice magic. The real Ojisan and Mabel watched said fight from the sidelines, where it's learned that Mabel became a knight of the kingdom. Their conversation turns dark after Mabel asks Ojisan to lose purposely, giving her a pay raise and making him become her underling, which upsets Ojisan. At that moment, Richardo and the soldiers realize that Mabel was in cahoots with Ojisan forcing her to fight Ojisan for real. Amid the fight, Ojisan severs a mind-controlling magic previously cast on Mabel and reveals Karn to be the culprit. Ultimately, Ojisan vows to protect the country if any crisis arises; he then transforms into the Blaze Dragon and leaves the scene. Sometime after this, Mabel was sadly dismissed from her position as a knight of the kingdom.

With Ojisan's memory over, Takafumi had grown scales around parts of his body. Ojisan reveals that it was a repercussion from the fairies for making a great demand and then abruptly ending the contract with them. As Takafumi transforms into a draco-human, Ojisan transforms into one, too, so his nephew doesn't feel alone. Sumika would be left stunned by what she had witnessed there.
