Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

Wouldn't it be a normal reaction to beat me up like Janice did?

"What's there to be angry about?"

Paul tilted his head and looked at me.

“Aisha did this voluntarily, and you are willing to take responsibility... I think we should be happy.”

"Huh? Is that so?"

"Since Aisha is willing to stay by your side, that's her business. Even if we can't get married, let her live her life the way she wants."

Paul said this.

No no no...

Is that what happened?

I am puzzled.

"But, before, Mother..."

"Oh, you mean Janice?"

"Yes. Mother seems very angry."

"After all, you swore you would never marry again, but in the end you said you wanted to make Aisha your fourth wife... How could I not be angry?"

"...I see, I understand."

That's it.

Janice was angry simply because I broke my promise.

in other words.

They weren't surprised that Aisha and I had developed this kind of relationship...

Well.

After all, Lilia still lives in this house.

Lilia seems to have always wanted Aisha to do this.

Now, that idea has come true.

Paul and his team should have been mentally prepared for this.

"Take good care of Aisha from now on, and don't let a woman cause any cracks in the family."

Paul said this.

He patted my shoulder earnestly.

Father, I always feel that you are not qualified to say such things.

Do not……

Perhaps it's because they've been through it that they can offer such advice.

"So, how was last night?"

Paul asked with a smile.

"...Nothing happened."

"Huh? No way? We've already done it..."

"We just chatted."

We really just chatted.

last night.

Aisha came to my room and stayed with me all night.

Logically speaking, something should have happened.

But my mood at the time really made me lose all motivation.

At last.

He simply held Aisha and took a nap.

That being said.

do not know why.

I felt exhausted when I woke up this morning, as if I had run a marathon.

Did I sleepwalk last night?

"Rudy, it's for your own good not to let you marry Aisha."

Paul suddenly changed the subject.

His tone became serious.

"If you can't treat your partner as a real wife, problems will arise sooner or later. It's better to prevent problems from arising in the first place than to be helpless when the time comes."

"..."

I am well aware of this.

I cannot consider Aisha as a real wife.

For me.

At most, I only see her as a younger sister who is a step further.

What's the difference between these two relationships?

I can't really put it into words.

But one thing is certain.

I absolutely cannot treat Aisha the same way I treat Sylphie and the others.

"If one day you can treat Aisha as your wife, I will come back for your wedding."

Paul patted me on the shoulder.

"Don't think about it too much now, go have breakfast."

"Ah."

After being scolded by Paul, I actually felt much better.

Is this considered a private conversation between father and son...?

……

The dinner table.

The atmosphere was noticeably better than last night.

Aisha clung to Lilia like a spoiled little child.

Well, they're just kids anyway.

Sometimes I subconsciously forget that Aisha is only fourteen years old this year.

Janice and Paul remain as loving as ever.

Norren also...

Ok.

She was still staring at me with a somewhat resentful look.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How can I win back Noren's favor...?

For example, pretending nothing happened and serving Noren some food?

Or, in a gentler tone, ask what has happened during this time?

Then a head pat would happen?

Well……

However, if the method is inappropriate, it may have the opposite effect.

So what should we do...?

I thought so.

We couldn't come up with a solution until after breakfast.

Return to the room.

Just as I was feeling troubled, there was another knock on the door.

Aisha...

What is she going to do next?

I thought so.

But when she opened the door, it wasn't Aisha she saw, but Noren.

"what?"

"elder brother."

"Ah, it's Noren. What's up?"

"...Just now, my brother must have been thinking, why wasn't it Aisha who came?"

Norren said irritably.

"..."

I really want to deny it.

But Noren is absolutely right.

So much so that I was completely powerless to refute it.
