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

He seemed to want to say something.

But I don't know where to begin.

"Don't be like that, Lilia, I'm not angry about this."

Paul reluctantly helped Lilia up from the ground and gestured for her to sit next to him.

Then I lay back down on the sofa.

I looked up at the ceiling.

"But then again... it's surprising that this situation actually happened."

Paul said, as if reflecting on something.

Huh?

Does this mean that the father already thought this would happen?

“Aisha has liked Rudy since she was little, and she lived with Rudy... To be honest, I always felt that you two would do this kind of thing sooner or later, so it’s not really a surprise.”

Paul spoke slowly.

Hear these words.

A weight has finally been lifted from my heart.

It turned out to be the case.

My father...

We were prepared for this long ago.

"Hey Rudy, this might be a bit redundant to ask, but you've already discussed it with Sylphie and the others, right?"

"Yes, Hilfi and the others also agreed."

"So, all that's missing is my permission, right?"

"Yes."

"That's it..."

Paul nodded.

Look at me and Aisha.

Take a deep breath.

Then it was announced:

"But I won't allow it!"

"what?"

My mind went blank.

"what does it mean!"

Aisha suddenly screamed.

"Dad! Why can't I allow it? We've already gone to such lengths..."

"Aisha, shut up first."

Incomprehensible.

We've already gone this far.

A simple nod would have been enough to end this awkward conversation.

Why isn't it allowed...?

Or is this just Paul's prank?

Thinking about it carefully, that might indeed be the case.

I sincerely hope so.

next moment.

Paul would then burst into laughter.

"Sorry, sorry, I just really wanted to play this kind of prank at least once!"

Saying things like that.

however.

not at all.

Paul was not playing a prank or joking.

"Rudeus."

"……I am here."

Paul looked at me calmly.

"You don't really consider Aisha your wife, do you?"

"I'm seriously planning to marry Aisha..."

"That's not what I meant."

Paul sighed.

She seemed helpless about her son's lack of ambition.

"Your eyes, I mean the way you look at Aisha."

"What...does that mean...?"

"The way you look at Aisha is like a brother looking at his sister, not a husband looking at his wife."

"..."

What does it matter?

That's what I was trying to say.

however.

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't say them.

"You never really considered Aisha as your wife, did you?"

Even though he says he wants to get married, he always treats Aisha like a younger sister.

"Hey, Rudeus."

"Are you really planning to treat Aisha as your wife?"

330. At home

"Do you really consider Aisha your wife?"

Paul asked this question.

of course.

Of course I consider Aisha my wife.

After all, they were already planning to get married.

……

That's what I meant to say.

however.

The words come to your lips.

But no matter what, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Who exactly is Aisha to me?

He is the person who will accompany me throughout my life.

They are the people who never abandoned me, even in my despair.

She is my... sister.

It's not my wife.

Why can't I consider Aisha my wife?

No.

should say.

How could I possibly consider Aisha my wife?

Even though I say I want Aisha to become my wife.

Even though I had already prepared myself and mustered up the courage.

But nevertheless.

Some things cannot be accomplished simply through courage.

I……

I cannot accept Aisha as my wife.

No matter past life or this life.

Aisha is my younger sister.

……

……

After realizing this.
