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

Paul and I just sat there in the room.

No one spoke.

……

"Rudy, Aisha has the ability to protect herself now, right?"

Paul suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, that's what Alice said."

"Is that so? Gaining Alice's approval should be no problem."

"I think so too."

"I see. That means we don't need to worry too much about Aisha's safety, right?"

"Ah."

"In that case, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

Paul let out a long sigh.

"In the end... almost all members of our family have this problem, running away from home and such."

"Whether it's you, Lilia, Janis, or me, or even Lokishi, it's all the same."

"Running away from home at twelve...tsk, isn't that exactly like me? There's no way I can scold her..."

Paul muttered a lot to himself.

It was as if he was trying to convince himself.

So what should I say?

Although I wanted to shirk this responsibility, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it...

But sure enough...

In the end, I still have to say it.

"I'm sorry, Father."

"Ah."

Paul nodded.

Then, he patted my shoulder hard.

"There's no need to blame yourself too much. After all, running away from home... is a fine tradition in our family. Rather, it's good that you came to talk to me first."

"Speaking of which, how are we going to explain this to Lilia?"

That's the problem.

Paul was able to accept Aisha running away from home because he himself had left home at the age of twelve.

However, Lilia was different.

Lilia had high hopes for Aisha.

If she found out that Aisha had abandoned her job as a maid to become an adventurer, she might faint from anger on the spot.

Although I promised Aisha I would resolve this matter...

But in any case, it's better to ask Paul for help.

"Leave Lilia to me."

Paul said.

"I will find a suitable excuse to let Lilia know that Aisha is temporarily not working as a maid."

"What would be a suitable excuse?"

"For example, being chosen as a hero by a passing sage, and embarking on a journey to defeat the Demon King... or something like that."

"..."

I stared at Paul with a strange look in my eyes.

The latter gave an awkward smile.

"Haha, it is indeed a bit of a stretch..."

"Your idea is terrible."

"Then let's just say it."

"...Just say it?"

"Well, instead of beating around the bush, it's better to just change Lilia's mind directly. Anyway, the deed is done..."

Hey Hey hey.

Your way of putting it is more likely to be misunderstood.

"Leave this to me!"

Paul said.

It seems completely unreliable.

I can't easily trust him...

"Uh, I think it's still me..."

"No way! Rudy, I'm the head of the household, so I have to say it!"

Paul retorted without backing down.

That being said.

I also promised to help Aisha solve Lilia's problem.

Therefore, I cannot back down.

Let's try again.

……

……

The argument lasted for about half an hour.

Sudden.

There was a knock on the door.

Paul and I stopped at the same time and turned to look out the door.

"Master Paul, Master Rudius, may I come in?"

It's Lilia's voice.

I instinctively turned to look at Paul.

The latter took a deep breath.

"Come in, Lilia."

"Yes."

The door to the room was pushed open.

Lilia, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, stood at the door, followed by a somewhat timid Noren.

"Young Master Rudius, it's been a long time."

Lilia said with a smile.

"Yes, it's been a long time..."

We haven't seen each other for about three or four months.

Lilia is still as young and beautiful as ever.

"father!"

Noren trotted in and pounced on Paul.

Why did Dad and my brother argue?

Noren looked up at Paul and me and said somewhat angrily.

"Huh? We..."

“Miss Norren was listening to your argument at the door and seemed quite uneasy about it. Sir Paul, Master Rudius, what happened?”

Lilia said somewhat uneasily.

"..."

"Let me tell you."

"Ah, um..."

Paul took a deep breath.

Then he looked at Lilia with a serious expression.

“Lilia, a few days ago…Aisha said she wanted to be an adventurer.”

"Eh?"

Lilia was stunned.

Paul continued:

"Then, Rudius and I discussed it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so we agreed."

"Wait, why... Aisha..."

Lilia's expression turned utterly astonished.

She covered her mouth as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Norren stared blankly at Paul.
