"Welcome back, brother~ Why are you so late today? The maids have all taken a break... Oh? Who is brother carrying behind you?"
"Welcome back, Rudeus"
Aisha and Sylphie came to greet me shortly after hearing the sound of me entering the house. Lilia must have fallen asleep.
Although it's a bit greedy to ask this, but where is Norn? Did he sleep too?
If you don't come out to greet me even though you haven't slept, it will still be a bit sad for me as a brother.
"I'm back, and I'm carrying my... uh, friend?"
"Why is it a question? The maids have all taken a break. I'll prepare her room first."
"Sorry to trouble you, Aisha"
"Just don't tell me she is my brother's girlfriend~"
After Aisha said this, he turned around and walked upstairs, while Sylphie approached me
She patted the snow on my body, unbuttoned my coat one by one, put away my coat and scarf, and then carefully took off the windbreaker Nanahoshi was wearing.
Then, Sylphie came closer, very close, so close that I could smell her unique warm scent
Sylphie sniffed my cheek and said softly
"Have you been drinking? I'll cook you a bowl of hot soup to wake you up. Your body will also feel warmer."
"Um... thank you"
After Sylphie left, I carried Nanahoshi to the second floor. Aisha cleaned up the room much faster than I thought. She was already ready as soon as I went up.
After placing Nanahoshi, I returned to the first floor
Sylphie is still preparing hot soup in the kitchen, while Aisha is following behind me
Naturally, the two of us sat on the sofa in the living room
"Brother, did you go drinking with her?"
"Yeah"
"Wow~ You invited her?"
"She invited me, don't get me wrong, because..."
How should I explain? Because we are fellow villagers?
Objectively speaking, Nanahoshi is indeed a beauty, so it is normal for Aisha to be curious.
I remember the book I read in my previous life said this [the truth is half the truth]
"She invited me because I agreed to help her with the experiment."
"Oh... that's it..."
After a short silence, Aisha spoke again
"Brother~"
"Huh?"
"What do you think of sister Sylphie?"
Aisha's words made me unconsciously turn my eyes to the back of Sylphie who was cooking soup.
How's it going? Of course it's very good
"She's a very good girl"
"Sylphie Sister must like my brother very much. Don't you feel it?"
"Well, I noticed it."
Aisha pinched my face as if he didn't expect me to answer like this.
"Wow~ Brother, is he really the type who would like a woman who likes him?"
"I..."
"Just kidding"
Aisha The hand holding my face stopped and turned into a gentle caress
Her tone was a little serious
"I know what my brother is thinking, but... my indecisive brother is so mean~ Don't you like sister Sylphie?"
"I can't respond, it would be a betrayal to Eris"
"Huh? I have never heard that my brother is a disciple of Millis Church, nor is sister Eris. Is sister Sylphie a disciple of Millis Church?"
"No"
"Then why is it a betrayal? Sister Eris is not a disciple of Millis Church, and neither is my brother. Even if my brother marries sister Sylphie, it is not considered a betrayal of sister Eris."
"Yeah... but I..."
I didn't know what to say, so I paused for a while
Aisha interrupted my silence
"Brother, then you think so."
"Huh?"
"What would you do if sister Sylphie was married by someone else?"
Although I really want to say that as a man, if Sylphie can really get happiness from this, I will bless her
But... I looked at the back of Sylphie making soup
Just imagining it for a while, I felt a twinge of pain in my heart
The pain in my heart is not false
It really exists, and it's as uncomfortable as a snake wrapping around your heart.
"I'm afraid I'll feel very uncomfortable, and I won't be able to accept it."
"Really~ Brother has always been a person who doesn't care about anything except his family and loved ones. I can still see this."
"So...?"
"So brother, be brave enough to accept and pursue sister Sylphie? Sister Eris is not a stingy person. If you write her a letter, she will definitely not blame you."
Is that so...?
Is my liking for Sylphie acceptable in this world?
Even if I already own Eris, can I still like Sylphie insatiably?
I'm so arrogant
Even if Eris agrees, will Sylphie agree?
The fact that my husband has two wives
But, I really want to understand a lot
"Thank you Aisha, I may have figured something out."
"You're welcome~ Who told me to be my brother's sister?"
"Hmm...Aisha must be shattered if he sees such a bad side of his brother, right?"
"Brother has always been a very handsome person, but he seems a little clumsy when facing the people he loves, but I like even this clumsy side. Aisha is always looking at my brother."
Aisha After saying this, he held my face and kissed me on the cheek.
This is really...
Aisha Is it mature enough to help me solve my problems?
Without thinking too much, I smiled and touched her head
"What are you talking about? Let's have some soup~ We also prepared Aisha's midnight snack, Rudeus would you like some?"
Hearing Sylphie's call, Aisha and I looked at each other and smiled and walked towards the dining table.
"There's no need for late night snacks, I'm too full after eating in a pub."
"Really? Then Aisha and I will eat, and Rudeus will enjoy the soup~"
"Hmm"
I held the hot soup in my hands and watched Aisha and Sylphie chatting about today's daily chores while drinking it.
Do you accept it?... Yes
I like Sylphie, she also likes me
After drinking all the soup in the bowl, I held my chin with one hand and watched Sylphie and Aisha talking and laughing.
Confession... Let's confess later, first write a letter to Eris
Then, let go of the heavy thoughts before and try to enjoy the happy daily life in front of you.
"Rudeus? What are you looking at?"
"Well... I'm just looking at you and wondering how long this beauty will last."
"It will continue forever."
Sylphie said to me with a smile
She is such a good girl, so beautiful that it makes me feel a little unreal
"Brother~ don't think about so many things. Your face is so red. Brother is really not good at drinking."
"Yeah... then I'll go to bed first. Thank you for the hot soup Sylphie. It's delicious."
"Rudeus can drink it if you like it."
"Well, I really like it, good night Sylphie, and Aisha"
"Ah... good night..."
"Good night brother!"
Back to his room
I lay on the bed and fully stretched out my limbs
After I figured out my feelings for Sylphie, I always felt relaxed
"I really like it..."
