"Oh!! Are you the boss's brother? Hello, my name is Linia Dedoldia meow"
"I'm Pursena Adoldia, hello, boss's brother"
I had just had a cold for a few days and was dragged to the market by Aisha, where I also met Aisha's... friend?
If I hadn't seen the scene of the two of them lying in front of Aisha begging for jerky, I would have thought they were friends
By the way... Meow? said?
Oh oh... it's a bit like the cartoon I watched in my previous life, and I actually have a mouth habit
Looking at their outstretched hands, I stretched out my hand and shook their hands out of politeness.
"Hello, my name is Rudeus"
Hmm... these two are the two who always stalked me in school, right?
Although I was too lazy to catch it, I still found it a few times
At this moment, their attention was not on me, but on Aisha, as if they were waiting for her to give instructions.
Aisha covered his forehead with one hand and looked speechless.
"You... just come and carry things for me and my brother."
"No problem, meow!"
"Leave it to us!"
In the market, Aisha handed all the heavy objects such as fertilizers, flowers and plants that he bought to the two of them.
That is to say, Beast Race is quite strong... If Beast Race's standards are based on Ghislaine, then are these two also very strong?
Just when I was in a daze, the more lively cat among the cat and dog duo came over.
"Rudeus... Uh... Sir? What should I call you, meow?"
"It's good to be a teacher. I also work in a university."
"Oh! Teacher Rudeus, have you been to Great Forest?"
Great Forest...
"Been there"
"Oh!! Was there a female cat named Eris with you at that time?"
"Yeah, what's wrong? Do you know her?"
"Yes, meow! You are Beast Race's benefactor, meow~ Aisha boss's name is already very familiar. After confirming your name and that of Mr. Eris, I confirmed that you are Beast Race's benefactor, meow."
"It's just along the way, the benefactor went too far."
By the way, is this why they listen to Aisha so much?
Because Aisha is also the benefactor of Beast Race?
"No, no, no! You are definitely Beast Race's benefactors. My sister and Pursena Adoldia's sister were both saved by you at that time. Thank you, meow."
As she said that, she lowered her head and bowed to me.
Beast Race actually has etiquette...
"Ah! What are Linia Dedoldia doing?"
"Listen to me, meow, he and the boss are..."
After Linia Dedoldia explained, they both bowed and thanked me and Aisha
"Huh? But we've known each other for so long and yet you two haven't recognized my name?"
Aisha asked with some confusion
"Because... because... the boss is young... we didn't think about that, meow..."
"Just... that's it... it's all Linia Dedoldia's fault! She is still thinking about how to overthrow the boss's rule..."
"Don't frame me, meow! I never thought about it, boss!"
"Linia Dedoldia dare to think it or not say it..."
It means that you don't know that Aisha is your benefactor...
Then why was that surrender look I saw before? Could it be that Aisha's interest is really...
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"No... it's nothing..."
Aisha sighed and waved towards them both
The cat and dog duo walked up to Aisha very obediently, looking like they were waiting for instructions.
"Okay, you bring these things to the door of my house and give them to the maid. Do you know where my house is?"
"No problem, meow!"
"Of course you know!"
"Then you go ahead"
Aisha said so, walked up to them, and whispered something in their ears
The cat and dog duo waved us away while laughing and fearing.
"Brother, shall we visit Zenith's mother next?"
Aisha holds the fruit basket in his hand and smiles
"Well, let's go visit mom."
Arriving at the door of Paul's house, Aisha knocked on the door.
After a few seconds, the person who opened the door was the maid I hired for them before.
After handing the fruit basket to the maid, we walked into the house. Since it was afternoon, Paul seemed to be patrolling
I obviously told him that he didn't need to go to work, but Paul said to me with a wry smile at that time
[At least give me something to do, I don't know what I can do at home]
"Mom!"
The voice of Aisha brought my thoughts back to reality
She trotted over and hugged Lilia for a while
"Why are you here?"
"Come and visit Zenith mother"
"Well, come in first"
After I said hello to Lilia, I walked to Zenith's room
There are various items inside to show that she is well taken care of. There is also a lazy chair bought by Paul
It seems that Paul often lies next to Zenith...
Walked to Zenith, she was sitting on the bed
Still the same look...
I sat next to Zenith and said to myself
"Mother, I will get married in about a year."
"Ah... there are three people you are getting married to. You know all three of them. They are Eris, teacher Roxy, and Sylphie. I remember that your favorite is Sylphie, right? After all, you watched him grow up, Eris has only met you once, and I don't know what you think. As for Roxy... In fact, her age does not match her mind. Of course, I am not saying that Roxy is naive, I just want you not to worry about the generation gap between us..."
I held Zenith's hand and murmured a lot
She blinks and sometimes makes some movements
"Mother, do you agree with me marrying three women? I remember that you are a believer of Millis... uh..."
Zenith Still no response
As expected...
I sat next to Zenith for a long time
Until Paul came back, he walked into the room and sat down on the lazy chair
"Mother, since father is here, I will leave first."
Just as I stood up, I could clearly feel my hand being held tightly.
Zenith hold my hand tightly
"Mother..."
Paul and I looked at each other for a while and sat down again
Zenith slowly raised his hand, held my face in both hands, and stared at me closely
I don't know the meaning of her behavior, but I have a feeling
Zenith's consciousness is still... No, this is not a feeling, this is for sure
She is definitely still conscious...
Zenith After holding my face for several minutes, he put down his hand as if he had lost strength, and returned to a sluggish state.
I looked at Paul aside, he also had a hopeful expression.
"Lu...Rudeus...Zenith Is this... is it...?"
"I think so too. Mother's consciousness is definitely still there... it's just that for some reason, she can't control her body..."
After I said this, Paul stood up from the chair, approached Zenith, and hugged her
"It's okay... This is fine... Just be conscious..."
Paul smiled and I walked out of the room
Aisha is preparing dinner with Lilia in the kitchen
Seeing me, Lilia spoke immediately
"Master Rudeus, would you like to leave after dinner?"
"No, Sylphie they should have prepared dinner"
"Really... then don't force it"
I looked at Aisha next to Lilia
After thinking for a while, I said
"Aisha You can eat here today, Norn will be back soon"
Aisha nodded
"I know, I will still go back to my brother's place to sleep at night."
"Well, have a good chat with Lilia's mother"
"Brother is so verbose~"
Looking at the warm scene of Aisha and Lilia, I smiled and left
On the way back, the sun has set
