"Speaking of which, it's almost time for Rudeus to come back, right?"
It has been three months since I started helping Miss Nanahoshi, and it has been seven months since my brother started helping.
I instilled magic into the last magic circle
"Really? It's only been more than half a year?"
"Well... your brother has more ideas, doesn't he? Don't you often say that your brother is a genius?"
Miss Nanahoshi doesn't seem to be that good at lying.
But it may also be because she sees me as just a smart and good kid, so she doesn't have any precautions against me.
Nodding, I stood up from my seat
"Are you going back?"
"That's almost it. See you tomorrow, Miss Nanahoshi"
"Well, see you tomorrow"
Farewell to Miss Nanahoshi, I returned home
I told the maids what I wanted to eat tonight, said hello to my mother, and then I lay down on the bed.
What does this feel like...
Hmm... a feeling I've never had before
I miss my brother very much, even more than when he left just now
Is it loneliness? Do I feel lonely now?
"Ahhh! No, it can't be like this!"
I got up, picked up my sword and walked to the yard
Swordsmanship has not been improved for a long time, and so has magic.
Because except for Dragon God, I have yet to meet an opponent that makes me think it is impossible to defeat, so I started to enjoy life with peace of mind...
Although my brother said that he has joined his army, I still don't believe him. After all, it is difficult for me to believe someone who has killed me.
But now, even if I meet Dragon God again, I'm afraid I'll be killed instantly...
Waving the sword, I recalled how Dragon God died last time I met him.
"It seems like... he died without seeing anything..."
Even his brother couldn't hold him back for even a second. Can such an opponent really be defeated?
With such an existence, who is his opponent Human-God? That god who dare not show up and become a god?
Hmm? Maybe it's because of the existence of Dragon God that he doesn't dare to show up? That makes sense...
"Aisha?"
A voice broke my thoughts. I turned around and saw that it was Sister Norn who had come home.
"Welcome back, sister Norn"
"Well, I'm back. Are you practicing your sword?"
"Yes, why did sister Norn come back so late?"
"Well... I joined the student union and dealt with some things there before coming back, so it's late."
"Student Union..."
I remember that the princess and her knight were from the student union, so was this the last time I saw them together?
"What's the problem?"
"There's nothing wrong with me, but my brother hates those royal families and nobles. Sister Norn, it's better not to get too familiar with them."
"Ariel Your Highness is a very good person. If my brother saw her, he wouldn't hate her."
It's hard to say, my brother's attitude towards the royal family and nobles is the same as Demon Race...
"Well... if Sister Norn thinks it's okay, that's fine."
"It's no problem. We're going to have dinner soon. Why don't you go in?"
"You go ahead, I'll take a look at Domi and then go back to the house."
"Good"
Putting away the sword, I walked towards the stable
Domi is still lying there heartlessly. After a few months, he is not anxious because of his brother's disappearance. He obviously feeds it often.
Pick up the bag with carrots in front of the stables
"Domi~Eat carrots"
Hearing my call, he reluctantly got up
When I finished feeding the last bit of carrots, a few drops of rain fell down
As expected, Domi became excited when he discovered it was raining.
I don't know why, but it likes rainy days very much
"I know, I know, I'll open the door for you. When you're tired from running, you have to go back to the stable by yourself."
As soon as the door was opened, it ran outside excitedly
He actually likes rainy days, strange horse
After sighing, I also returned to the house. After taking a shower, I enjoyed dinner with sister Norn and my mother.
I lay back on the bed, studied Miss Nanahoshi's teleportation magic circle for a while, and then fell asleep.
In the early hours of the morning, probably just before the sun rose, I heard the noise
Noisy and familiar
I got up quickly and ran downstairs
It's my brother! Mom has already entertained my brother and his friends who have returned.
I rushed over and hugged my brother
"Welcome back!!!"
"I'm back"
My brother touched my head and made me feel a little dissatisfied
Shouldn't you give me a big hug at this time?
He raised his head and was about to question his brother, but found that his right hand was empty.
"Brother... your hands..."
"There was an accident, it's just a minor problem."
"How can this be a small problem? Did you bring back the broken arm? I heard that King Rank healing magic can restore a broken arm. We should go to the capital of Millis to find someone like the archbishop..."
Halfway through, my brother touched my face and interrupted me.
Said in a gentle tone
"Aisha, it's okay"
it's my problem
If I had been tougher and followed...
I take it for granted. I always think there will be nothing wrong with my brother.
But in the final analysis, my brother is just a magician
He will also die if fatally attacked...
It's me...
"Aisha, it's really okay"
Perhaps noticing my expression, my brother repeated it again
"Well..."
My brother's repeated words brought me back to my senses.
At the same time, I also secretly made up my mind that if there is any potentially dangerous action next time, I must follow it...
After calming down, I began to carefully observe every member who came back.
At this time, I noticed a blue-haired... girl standing next to my brother?
By the way, it's actually Demon Race! My brother actually brought Demon Race home?!
"Next, let me explain the current situation."
Father's words interrupted the commotion at home
... My father has changed so much that it makes me feel a little strange.
Yes, I haven't seen my father for almost ten years since I followed my brother.
The situation is not that good
Zenith's mother actually...
Looking up, Norn is holding Zenith's mother crying.
The elder brother's expression was very serious, while the father was very remorseful.
"It's a good thing everyone is back safely, isn't it? It's been such a long journey, why don't you rest first?"
The person who said this is my brother, the last person who should say this
"Yeah... um..."
My father still looked guilty
"Then let's go back first, Paul, let's have a good time catching up with your family."
The group of people behind my brother nodded together.
"Won't you stay one night?"
Brother opened his mouth to keep them
It seems that they are partners who rescued my mother together.
"Oh, I went to a brothel to relax."
"I have to catch men too, I can't bear it anymore"
After saying that, they left
I walked to my brother's side and found that the blue-haired girl was still there
She even held her brother's hand
Huh? This...
"Okay, let's do this for now, uh...Lilia, help Zenith take a bath."
My father said this to Lilia's mother with some embarrassment.
Lilia's mother smiled and nodded
"Well, I also want to catch up with sister Zenith."
"Well..."
After my mother took Zenith's mother away, my father kept looking at me and Norn
I haven't said a word to my father since I came back...
What to do at this time?
At this time, my brother patted me on the back
"Go give dad a hug. He is also very tired."
"Well..."
I walked forward and hugged my father
After seeing my demonstration, sister Norn also came over nervously and hugged her father.
"Long time no see...Norn, Aisha..."
When I realized that my tone was wrong, my father already had tears in his eyes.
Yes, I am too selfish... My father also works very hard, I have always forgotten him
Somehow, I cried, and so did sister Norn
After hugging each other for a while, my father touched both of our heads.
"I stink, don't I? I'm going to take a shower first, Rudeus, do you want to take a shower with me? It's been a long time since we, father and son, took a shower together."
"No, why are you so sensational?"
"Haha, that's right. How many bathrooms are there in this house?"
"Three, you can use the one on the third floor. Lilia's mother and mother are using it on the second floor."
"Okay, do you really not want to wash with me?"
"No"
"So cold"
When his father walked up to the second floor, his brother turned around and said something to the blue-haired girl and sister Sylphie.
They also prepared their own clothes and walked towards the bathroom on the first floor together.
Now there are only me, sister Norn and my brother in the living room
"Brother, who is that girl with blue hair?"
Sister Norn nodded aside and was also very curious.
"My teacher is also my fiancée"
"Eh?!"
"Ah!?"
Exclamations came from the mouths of sister Norn and me.
I'm surprised that my brother actually likes a Demon Race
"Coco... Cococo... Where is sister Sylphie?"
Norn stammered
"Sylphie is also my fiancée, and Eris"
"Three!? Did they all agree?!"
"Well, they all agreed, Eris... will also agree."
"Millis, sir, my brother and they really love each other, please don't punish me!!"
Sister Norn suddenly folded her hands into fists and began to pray devoutly
But in my heart I think this is a good thing
My brother has accepted the matter of having multiple wives
Then I...
Well... I'm too young now, too young in every sense of the word
"What are you thinking about?"
My brother flicked my forehead with his finger
"I wonder if my brother will be cold to me in the future~ He already has three wives."
"How come, Aisha's anxiety is unnecessary?"
Brother said, holding Norn in his arms with one hand
Then he touched my forehead with his nose
"You are also my most important sisters."
"Ugh... Brother, you just said not to be sensational..."
Norn curled up shyly, stretched out his hand and pushed his brother's face
"That's right, isn't your brother ashamed?"
"Yes, so you two want to take a shower with me?"
"No! I've grown up!"
Norn said, leaving his brother's arms
Then my brother looked at me a little aggrievedly
"Hmm~ Since my brother is so pitiful, I will reluctantly wash it with him~ I will help him rub his back."
"Thank you Aisha for the reward."
"Ahaha, brother, please don't talk like this. This tone doesn't suit you at all."
"Really..."
After my father finished washing, my brother and I entered the bathroom together
When I finished taking off my clothes, I was stunned for a while by the broken arm of my brother's right hand.
With such a wound, even if it has healed, you can still feel what kind of monster my brother encountered at that time.
I stretched out my hand and touched the broken arm
"What's wrong?"
"Will it still hurt?"
"No, what's wrong? This sudden expression"
"I just feel sorry for my brother"
"Aisha I'm a little embarrassed to say that."
My brother scratched the back of his head with his hand
"Brother is like this, you can't live without Aisha for the rest of your life, right?"
"It's just an arm. Why did you say it makes me feel paralyzed?"
My brother said and started to put hot water into the barrel.
"Aisha will always be with my brother."
"What are you talking about? You don't need to start a family?"
"No, I just like my brother and it will be fine if I am with him."
"I also like Aisha, but liking is also conceptual, uh... how should I put it..."
"My love for my brother is the kind of love that I want to be my brother's wife."
"Really?"
"Really!"
"It's really bad... but it shouldn't be true, because you are still young. You will understand when you grow up."
My brother said this and touched my head.
But it's true...
I'll let you know later
