Before coming here, he had already instructed his Mouse Incarnation to simulate the Paper Knight, fabricating a false existence in the mortal realm.

Even Ginger Thorn had been deceived.
"Before truth, deceit's mist ever lingers."
Gary Smith chuckled lightly, trusting no one other than his Pet Beasts, and he had no intention of correcting this habit.

Gary Smith looked at the Paper Knight and handed over the Secret Food, smiling as he said, "I said I would take you above the Star Cluster, so I won't let you fall behind!"
"I will be the Master's gun and shield, until eternity!"
The Paper Knight knelt on one knee, answering robustly, and took the Secret Food with devout eyes, knowing these were the powers that would evolve his companions.
