"Huh? It's already this time and you still haven't gone back today?"
Nanahoshi looked at the sun going down outside the window, then turned to look at me
"My wives said they would prepare a surprise for me and asked me to go back later."
"Oh? Then let's go have a drink?"
I shook my head and said
"Since when did your persona become that of an alcoholic?"
"So are you going or not?"
"No, I don't want to carry you back again."
"Then what are you going to do now? I'm going back to the dormitory to rest."
"I know, I know, I'm leaving now"
Well, it should be almost done after such a long time, right?
It's a surprise, but I don't have any clue
It's not an anniversary or a birthday or anything like that...
"It's like I'm driving you away... Okay, see you tomorrow."
Nanahoshi complained a few words and began to clear away the information on the table.
"See you tomorrow"
I stood up from the chair, said goodbye to Nanahoshi, and walked towards home
"Dong dong dong"
A knock on the door was followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Welcome back!"
The person who opened the door is Aisha
"I'm back"
Aisha rushed over and gave me a big hug
I turned my head left and right and looked inside the living room. There was no layout as I imagined.
What about the surprise?
I put the Aisha I was holding back on the ground and walked towards the hall.
The voices of Roxy and Sylphie came from the kitchen. It seems that they made today's dinner again.
Our maids are all turning into cleaning maids... except for breakfast, they almost don't have to cook
After relaxing, just sit down on the sofa and feel the warmth of home
Aisha also sat next to me very obediently
By the way, are you being too well-behaved today? Shouldn't you just pull me to the bathroom as soon as you enter the house?
"Rudeus~Are you back?"
Roxy poked a head out of the kitchen
"Hmm"
"Food will be served soon, please wait a moment."
after a few minutes
Roxy brought out the finished dishes one by one
I touched the head of Aisha next to me and asked
"Aren't you going to help?"
"Brother, don't you believe your sisters-in-law?"
"How come?"
"That would be great"
Aisha leaned his head directly into my arms
I gently followed Aisha's hair and felt her fragrance
Hmm... we obviously take a shower together, how come Aisha smells so good?
I held up Aisha's hair, brought it close to my nose and sniffed it a little
It just smells like soap...
"Brother..."
"Ah? Huh? What's wrong?"
"You look like a pervert"
"Eh? Ah... I'm just curious why you smell so good when we use the same soap..."
"It's okay. If you like it, brother, just smell it for a while."
Aisha said with a tiger-toothed smile, his head kept digging into my arms
"Okay, stop making trouble and get ready to eat."
After I said that, I took Aisha out of my arms.
At this moment, the voice of Sylphie also came from the dining table
"Eat~"
I got up from the sofa and walked towards the dining table
The dishes on the table are similar to usual, they are all Roxy and Sylphie's specialties.
But I can see that they are more attentive today.
And every time I move the knife and fork, they look at me expectantly
So much pressure...
Putting the steak into my mouth, I smiled
"The steak was grilled really well"
"That's it, brother~"
Aisha looked at me teasingly, and I turned around to look at Sylphie and Roxy who were full of expectations.
Sure enough, I should praise it more forcefully here.
"Ahem... I'm sorry that I'm not a gourmet, and I have few adjectives for food, but what I made today was more delicious than ever, really!"
It seems... I'm taking it a little too seriously.
"Hahahahahaha, don't be so nervous Rudeus"
"Yeah, although Sylphie and I were very serious about making dinner today, after all, we were very careful before, so it's normal that you can't tell the difference, right?"
"That's right..."
During dinner, I almost forgot about the surprise Sylphie and Roxy mentioned before
Until the end of dinner, two of them... no, three of them suddenly stood in front of me very formally.
Forget about Sylphie and Roxy, why is Aisha also there?!
Although I really wanted to ask, it didn't seem like the atmosphere was right to ask this question right now, so I waited quietly.
After more than ten seconds, Roxy took a deep breath and spoke.
"Lu...Rudeus! This is the ring that I, Sylphie, and Aisha picked out for you!"
Roxy handed me a delicate-looking leather box.
"This is..."
I took the box and opened it in front of them
Inside are three rings, blue, emerald green, and burgundy...
"Well... we think... aren't we Rudeus's fiancée? Although the wedding hasn't happened yet... but... but... we hope more people know that Rudeus you have a fiancée... because Rudeus you are very popular, aren't you..."
Roxy said that the stumbling one looks very cute in my eyes
Ah... so this ring represents them... um... then what does Aisha mean?
I took the box, but I was a little confused. After all, it was a bit troublesome to wear this ring on only one hand.
"Rudeus~reach out your hand"
But they seemed to see my dilemma, and each took a ring representing their own color and put it on my finger.
Index finger, ring finger and little finger
What should I say now?
After a while of silence, I opened my mouth and said
"... Hmm... Should I go and customize some rings and necklaces tomorrow? You also need to let the men outside know that you have a fiancé. After all, you are so cute."
"Really, Rudeus don't keep saying disgusting things!"
"Just telling the truth"
Saying that, I walked forward and hugged Roxy, and then hugged Sylphie after a while.
Damn it, not having two hands is really troublesome!
"How's it going? Do you like the surprise we prepared?"
Sylphie kissed me and asked
"Of course, I like it very much"
I turned around and glanced at Aisha, and found that her expression was still the same, just smiling.
"Brother, do you like the ring I gave you?"
"Well, I'm very happy."
"After all, I have to let those [sisters] outside know that my brother has a sister."
"That's it, thank you, Aisha"
"Okay! Brother, go take a shower! Let sister Roxy and sister Sylphie help you today!"
"Huh?"
I turned to look at Roxy and Sylphie and found that they were both blushing.
"Rudeus~ Let's wash it together?"
Sylphie's voice seems to have some kind of magic, which makes me start to daydream
"Rudeus... We obviously sleep together all the time, so there's no need to be shy about taking a bath, right?"
Roxy's voice also entered my fantasy
Looking at the red-faced fiancées, I swallowed.
Can I really hold it?
Or do I need to hold on?
"I... what..."
"We know, we just take a shower and don't do anything else."
Sylphie said so and held my hand
"Yeah! Rudeus is really conservative~"
Roxy also pushed me into the bathroom from behind
The night in my mind is breathing
I turned my head, and my two fiancées were still sleeping soundly on the pillow.
So cute...
Although it would be nice to lie on the bed and watch my fiancées sleeping, my body wants to move.
Like this, I climbed out of bed
Insomnia...
How long has it been since I had insomnia? Or rather, have I had insomnia since I came to this world?
Making my movements as quiet as possible, I got out of bed and left the room.
When I came to the kitchen, I took a bag of milk, heated it with magic and poured it into the cup.
Holding the hot milk, I sat down on the sofa in the living room, took a sip of the milk, and then started to feel dazed.
Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, I recalled that I was tossing and turning in bed just now, so I got up and walked out of the house.
Stepping outside, I took a deep breath. The smell of green grass was stronger than before, probably because it was early morning.
"Hmm? Brother?"
A somewhat surprised and quiet voice came from the other side of the yard.
I turned around and looked, Aisha was sitting on the lawn in the yard with his legs in his arms.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Saying this, I walked towards Aisha
"Brother is the one. Didn't you hang out with your sisters-in-law all night tonight?"
"Speak as if this has happened before."
When I came to Aisha, I also sat on the lawn
Aisha leaned into my arms very skillfully
I also touched her head without saying anything else.
Although silent, the atmosphere is probably in a warm state? This is what I think
When I raised my head, the stars in the sky made me a little dazed.
Speaking of which, I haven't appreciated the night sky in this world for a long time.
The night sky in my previous life had so many bustling stars that I had to look for them carefully, but they are incomparable to the night sky in this world...
"Brother, what are you looking at that makes you so fascinated?"
Aisha followed my gaze and looked at the night sky
I pinched Aisha's cheek and said
"I haven't seen anything. By the way, Aisha, you haven't said why you haven't slept yet."
"Well... brother..."
"Huh?"
"I will be 15 years old in a few months. Does my brother know what this means?"
"Uh... adult?"
"Yes~ So brother, please don't ask a woman who is about to become an adult again why she doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, okay?"
I don't know what to respond to what Aisha said...
But my inner thought is [I've really grown up]
Seeing that I was a little embarrassed, Aisha smiled mischievously.
"You're kidding~ I just... well, I simply can't sleep, right? Isn't it the same for my brother?"
"Yeah..."
Aisha, who was leaning in my arms, slid deeper into my arms...
She looked at the starry sky and murmured
"Brother, I'm going to be an adult soon"
"Yes, Aisha is also an adult."
"Brother, have I become an excellent woman?"
"Well, Aisha has become a very good woman"
Aisha would probably be perfect in the eyes of outsiders, right?
According to Paul, his swordsmanship is on par with him, and his magic skills are about the same as mine. If Aisha hadn't been able to sing magic, I'm afraid he would have surpassed me in magic.
Housework, cooking, studying, everything I can think of in life, Aisha can handle it with ease
The most important thing is that Aisha is very cute. She will definitely be a great beauty in the future. After all, Lilia is very beautiful.
What an excellent sister...
"Speaking of Aisha, what do you want for your coming-of-age ceremony?"
Although I am not a noble, I still want to prepare for Norn and Aisha's coming-of-age ceremony.
"Hmm... I don't know~"
"Is there nothing you want?"
Aisha raised his head and looked straight at me
"In that case, brother, just promise me one thing."
"Huh? As long as it's within my capabilities."
"Don't worry~ I just want my brother to promise me that even if I do something unforgivable in the future, I hope he can forgive me once."
Aisha did something unforgivable?
I can't imagine that Aisha would not do anything to endanger his family.
Apart from this, I'm afraid I won't be angry with any other mistakes Aisha makes
"Okay, I promise you"
"Really?!"
"Of course"
"I love you~brother!"
Aisha stood up from my arms and threw me directly to the ground.
Do I really deserve to be a swordsman? I feel a little helpless
"Brother, will you sleep with us tonight? You want to chat."
Have you been chatting with your sister for a long time? It feels good
I smiled and nodded
"Well, it's been a long time since I sat down and chatted with Aisha."
"Brother is so talkative today. Are the sisters-in-law making him happy?"
"None of the things you thought happened"
"Really?"
"Really"
"Brother... could you be..."
"Don't think blindly. Although it is my problem, it is not a physical problem."
"That's good~brother carries me back to the bedroom~I want the princess to hold me~"
"What do you ask a disabled person to do?"
Although I said that, I still leaned down and picked up Aisha with one hand. After all, Aisha is not heavy, and I am still quite strong because of the exercise I have done.
"Oh~ Brother is so awesome"
He carried Aisha to her bedroom and put her down.
The bedroom is very simple, so simple that it doesn't look like a girl's bedroom.
Aisha flew to the bed, curled up directly into the bed, then lifted the quilt, patted the bed and spoke to me
"Brother, get on the bed quickly! Or do you want me to warm the bed for you before you will lie down in it?"
"Where did you learn these words...?"
Helpless, I also lay on the bed
At night, the two of us talked a lot after a long absence
Most of them are about the past. Aisha has a different filter on previous adventures. Maybe he just likes the period when we were adventuring alone.
Just before dawn, we fell asleep
